A lot of the videos I see have ads in them, section whith "this video is sponsored by this and that". That's definitely an ad. I would say most new (past few years) content by established channels has these. Some more obnoxio

The issue with paying for youtube premium is that you are still left with tons of ads. Until YouTube themselves doesn't tackle this issue as it should I refuse to pay to see sligtly less ads.

Confusing and visually unpleasing (assuming that's what you meant by "pixel vomit") are two very distinct things. And it looka nothing like anything from 1993 or something you would describe using the word "pixel".

Google might have pretended to stood for something, but they have been an evil corporation since they have been a corporation. That's what corporations do by design. One relevant example is that they've been doing the "only f

Prague has/had over 50 km. Was used up until early 00s. Loads of it still exists, it's the last surviving municipal tube system, though not functional at the moment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_pneuma

Apple doesn't even allow users to turn off Bluetooth or GPS (easily in a straight-forward way, it prevents you to make it easy). And while some of it is to provide a better experience to you, major reason is to provide service to other

With BTC especially, my argument (to myself) is that if I weren't lazy and got BTC at $20 I would have definitely sold at $100.

Why neither this nor tool in OP work with manually entering location is beyond me. My browser doesn't know my location. It doesn't help that it doesn't work even when I allow location in Firefox. But both would be solved if I

That works for the case you described. It will still ignore typos, dialects, or in my case a completely different language from the same language group. It will happily highlight different words that it deems to be equal to something I put

It's the investing that ruined Google search. Instead of search it's super smart, and as a result super annoying. It would be so much better if they kept it as is and just worked on removing spam.

Using google is so much more frustrating than say 10 years ago. And generated websites is just a small problem with that. In the past google didn't try to be that smart and gave you more control. Now it's optimized for users askin

Surprising? No. Under that same expectations untracked .gitignores wouldn't work either and we know that's not the case. But there are things that are both obvious once you know about them, but might not otherwise cross your mind.

Code editors can do it. It should be possible to define a syntax that would work well with this (no keywords, unquoted strings, : and TAB to define scopes).

That's 2cm on my current phone (XZ1 compact) which also has relatively big bezel and it's right at the limit of being able to be controlled with one hand.

Or is it that marketing has been telling customers that bigger is better for the past decade? I wouldn't give too much credit to an average consumer.

I've been looking at new phones since my Xperia Compact (XZ1) started having some issues, and iPhone seems to be the only choice. I just wish it had usb-c. By the way, did you consider to go with 12 instead of 13?

Small two-seaters maybe. Or slightly bigger aircrafts doing short hops (e.g. island hopping). This is still nowhere near close anything that could be used on big commercial planes.

I'm kinda torn on this. On one hand it's super interesting, on the other it's state-sponsored army propaganda series, luring in young Americans, painting everyone in service as a hero.

Well first of all you need to be familiar with the format. Or better said, with the abuse of the format. Because while it might look like replies, you need to figure out it was used to post an article and not actually additions/correct

So, this is why we use TODO as well, even though Godoc supports BUG natively and exports it into documentation. Nothing needs to change, everyone is on the same page. But each TODO is accompanied with a ticket, not just some loose "TOD

What I found working (although I haven't been using fedora for quite a few years now) is to skip a release if possible. Only when it seemed the N+2 is still too broken I upgraded to N+1.

> Yeah I wonder why that isn't used It's extra handling in the client, request and traffic is still there. Saving few bytes for extra complexity is probably not worth it.
