   Such "broken" sites happen to include some of the most popular sites on the internet, so I don't think anyone cares.

   When I type my login or wallet password, I've done it so many times that the sound profile is going to be quite different to normal typing. Does the model handle that?

   Ctrl-f is often overriden for a reason, though. On modern shitty React sites content outside the viewport may not be loaded into the DOM, so the browser find won't even work. It is quite frustrating the scroll past some text, ctrl-f fo

   I got to a size-5 snake and it stopped giving me apples. Cool though.

   My years doing the digital nomad thing were pretty slow. 3 months in a foreign country is subjectively way longer than 3 months at home (approx. 2x longer). A change of career/vocation should work the same.

   The Perl core module for it isn't bad, it's one line to tie a hash to a DB file and then you can use it as normal. The main flags are to determine if it's RO/RW and whether to create the file if it doesn't exist.

   Book part likely true. 6 month sabbatical and 10-20x salary probably not, or maybe just for like one lucky person.

    Protests? I would leave the country. I'm already disillusioned as it is.

    Whatsapp has no ads, though. If it did my country would probably use a different app. And nobody has made fun of me for having an android phone. Videos and group chats just work.

    Is it really worse though? I can use WhatsApp on any device I want, I'm not locked to iPhone. Japan uses LINE. Network effect implies a convergence to one app (pick your poison) and I am certain WhatsApp is better than the US situatio

    I also remember Samsung being bad in the past but I got a Fold 4 and the software is fantastic. Very little bloatware and many convenience/productivity features added over stock Android.

    Oculus has no ads though. It has a store with recommended apps, which is no different to Steam.

    Google is a big organisation, even if some people don't want to work on it, there are plenty of others who will. It's not as if every software engineer in the world shares your views and your principles.

    This is actually a genius decision on their part! It's telling that for Han unification they stomped all over Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese glyphs but still kept the simplified and traditional forms separate.

    It's interesting, this is basically a Reddit comment but because it's a blog it has weight and people feel obligated to respond. Maybe there's a point to having a blog after all.

    Maybe I'm just too old but it feels like humanity will always find a way to collectively fuck everything up. The web is always going to be shit. Fortunately another contingent of humanity invented uBlock and reading mode.

    Thank you for teaching me the word hair-shirt. These kind of blog posts come up often on HN and it's good to have a word to describe them.

    A better protest would be ignoring it entirely. Engaging in any form only serves to help Reddit.

    I guess it's interesting that they're using Black over their own code formatter (YAPF) but since it's an open source project maybe that's fine? If you were asking about Black specifically, it's very popular: > Th

    You could make read_portfolio a generator ( https://wiki.python.org/moin/Generators ). But that might confuse inexperienced Python programmers. Personally the way you've done it is the most Pythonic IMO. List comp
