Websites behaviour like this led me to use toggles for js and images which are disabled by default. If a click on a link of an article, I might actually want to read the article and not having stuff pop in my face or the content jumping aro

Personally I'd produce both. A brief high level explanation for non technical people (e.G. customers, press) and an in-depth blog post with the gruesome details. The latter is useful for example when my boss asks me to evaluate whether

I bought the windows version, because the hw specs I wanted weren't available for the developer editions. Luckily the archlinux wiki page for the del xps 13 (2015) made me aware of the issue with Broadcom wifi, so I picked one with an

In 2014 I bought a ~50$ Android while traveling Latin America. I didn't expect much more of the browsing experience than reading mostly text based articles. But I didn't even get that. Literally half the linked articles I clicked

Is it really true, that according to US law, you have to close down immediately if you lose main lenders? Without being given some time to find new ones to safe the company? Seems odd.

In my opinion the bigger problem is, when people are not aware that they're in a bubble. They existed, even before social media and internet searches. E.G. when I was a kid/teen, I got most of the information about the world from

I once flew back from Costa Rica to Zürich via Miami, because I wasn't aware that unlike every other airport I have ever been, the US doesn't do transit. Since that horrific day I never went to Latin America via the US again, no m

I think another aspect is, that the mexican cartels can grow the marijuana themselves and gain full profit off it, while cocaine or coca plants/paste have to be imported from south america.

I would love to have an option between flat rate and non-expiring prepaid. Let me pay e.g 100$ into an account and subtract some cents for every article I read. Or maybe I'm just weird with my dislike of subscriptions in general:) I&#x

My personal anecdote to potentially avoid wrist problems: I never took classes in proper touch typing so I naturally evolved my “own” system over the years. My hands are placed on the standard keyboard in an angle similar to a split keyboar

That they skip all the fundamentals in favor of the language du jour is simply not true for apprenticeships in Switzerland. Yes my suggested changes would bring it roughly in line with a Bachelor but while working in an actual company and e

Labour laws in Switzerland demand a 15 minute break for >5.5h working days, 30 minutes for >7h and 60 minutes for >9h. [0] This is mostly to protect the employees and depending on the sector, people are pretty flexible about that.
