Trying to diminish something said in earnest by later claiming it was a joke is definitely a technique that can be used to gaslight. But right now we’re talking about a comedian who’s essentially recording himself performing. It’s quite obv

In 1955 the casting couch stuff was common place and acceptable, at least in some circles. In 2010 not so much, but still acceptable to make jokes about. After the “metoo“ movement, it’s a lot more taboo to joke about.

Diaz’s whole shtick as a comedian is that he tells these off the cuff, crazy, somewhat believable, but always totally fictional stories about himself. They’re always super offensive, and paint him as a sort of greasy criminal/mobster.

They allow alternative browser engines on macOS but not on iOS. Brave on iPad is just a wrapper around WebKit. (Same with Firefox, Chrome, etc)

If I recall correctly Espanso also detects and auto-disables itself for password inputs correct?

On the contrary. I watched his appearance on JRE last night and thought he was pretty fun and engaging. It was a great episode.

I thought it was pretty well established at this point that homelessness isn’t a financial issue, but instead a mental health / drug abuse issue?

CSS is render blocking. The browser will never paint anything on screen until it’s downloaded and parsed in to a css object model. Unless you’re hyper tuning the page load performance in some specific way I think CSS is usually best served

My terminal emulator of choice (kitty) lets you configure it to render ligatures only when the text is not under the cursor. I’ve found this to be the best of both worlds. I like reading code with ligatures but would always get tripped up

I’m not familiar with shopify but I’m about to start a shopify project for a client. Can you elaborate on what the difference is between Hydrogen and a custom theme? Other than the tooling and template language I’m struggling to understand

It’s not clear to me what you mean when you say it’s the same concept. Your position is based on your own subjective preference rather than any objective fact. We’ve gone from “your actions are having a direct negative impact on my health”,

I’m not sure I understand your question. With Facebook (and my example) users have already opted in to sharing that data with FB and it’s advertisers. No tracking involved. As an aside, I think the only real problem with targeted advertisin

I don’t know. I sell a macOS app outside the App Store. It took me about a day to set that all up myself using Stripe and AWS, including a anti-piracy mechanism. The costs are next to nothing. The visibility and access to the user base that

It’s a valid counterpoint. I myself started a small company (competing against giants) and the only way I was able to do it was with the foreknowledge that I could use Facebook advertising to target my audience. Any other mechanism to reach

It’s pretty simple. A VPN adds a layer of privacy between you and the server you’re accessing. You go from user A with X home IP address originating from precise Y location, to user A with generic shared IP originating from a vague location

I have a newborn and every night while falling asleep all I hear is his cooing and laughing on replay. It’s sort of like when you play a lot of Tetris and you can’t stop seeing the falling bricks as you fall asleep.

I naively thought that was the whole point of sub modules. Otherwise why not use a package manager? The use case being that you can work on and update some independent system/repo while getting real-time feedback on how the changes int

Muse is a bit like this. You can also infinitely nest white boards. It’s really nice, though admittedly I haven’t gotten as much use out of it as I had hoped. https://museapp.com/

I’m familiar with the pain point you’re describing. It’s not the cascade, it’s the ability to target a child element through a selector. (Which utility based approaches do away with) But the thing is you can always do that if it’s needed. T

dereg, I actually saw the description. I’m still confused. “Care provider” to me means a nurse or doctor. Whether in hospital or at home. But I’m struggling to to imagine that Apple sees that as a real use case for their controller? Is it o

“Buddy Controller: Team up with a friend or care provider while gaming.” I’m so confused. Is this a politically correct way of saying parent or a feature designed for the sick / handicapped?

He’s saying X is not hard if you read X’s docs. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. What’s unreasonable is this culture in web dev that you shouldn’t have to read the docs!

This doesn’t sit well with me at all. Apple should have every right to create a closed system if they want. Why not? And in fact, an Apple that’s forced to do otherwise isn’t Apple anymore. The walled garden is one of their unique value pro

I’ve been using Grasshopper for years and it’s quite good. Though it’s probably a bit pricey if your use case is a simple throw away number. Might be worth digging around their pricing options though.

Verbiage is the result of bad copy writing and/or lazy keyword stuffing. I don’t think they select for or reward verbiage, but for sure they’re not doing enough to treat it as a negative signal.

By hyper local I mean something relevant to a small geographic region like a city or state. To be clear, that aspect was mostly tangential to my point. I think the point is Google is really bad at understanding web apps, online services, or
