Stack Exchange sites have a horrible authentication system so using them as an example is a bad start. However they could solve this "problem" in a number of ways, the most straightforward being to use subdomains instead of indivi

All of the API titles have been replaced by emojis () for me. Is this a bug or is it intentional?

The pricing info is confusing and maybe inaccurate(?) It says: Up to 500 emails / month 100 tests emails/month | 50 emails/day 100 test emails/day 50 emails/day That's a bunch of conflicting info. I'm not

This is what happens when customers don't understand the separation between product manufacture and product fulfilment. This was Amazon's fault (for re-selling a returned product as new) but it was also the reviewer's fault f

If the app can access it (offline, on your device), then what stops a developer from using tools to extract the token from the device, either from wherever it's stored in memory or using an interactive debugger to extract it as the app

It's funny, I've been a web developer for many, many years and I've yet to see any compelling argument for why React (or similar libraries) should even exist. Every single time I look into them I just can't find a reason

That's the only thing that makes you question React? I just hate the fact that it requires JavaScript to render even the simplest of pages. I would be bold enough to state that most websites built using React have absolutely no need

Having briefly tried it I have to say it's not as clear or easy to use as ShareX (another open-source screenshot tool). The monochrome icons are really not intuitive or easy to discern at a glance. Another commenter asks why it's

That's some nice casual racism you've got there. Actually it might be overt racism.

Honestly it's only frustrating if you approach it with an "all or nothing" mindset. Your site doesn't have to be all-singing, all-dancing. In fact it's probably better off being simple. To wit, you don't need a

I have done web development since the 90s and I can tell you authoritatively that most of what people talk about, like those frontend frameworks, are gibberish. Or at least, they're not worth the hype they're given. The wheel

You mean the ability to install your choice of software on a device that you own is dangerous????? Someone should tell the authors of literally every other operating system ever made about this astonishing discovery!

Does anyone know of an offline photo manager with object detection search? All I want is an app which I can point at a folder and then search for "cat" or whatever and have it show all the pictures with cats. Seems like all the ph

While I agree the AI answer is unnecessary, I'm more angry about how it forces itself into the top of the page, causing the actual search results to be forced further down the page. There's a term for this; it's called "

Useful for annoying your visitors? Why on earth would they not enable the setting which honours the `prefers-reduces-motion` media flag for users who don't want stuff flying all over their screens?!

Great if this works for you but honestly I don't find this "easy" at all. The writing style is annoyingly formal and already on page 2 it jumps into "draw the rest of the fucking owl" territory: >> A very simp

Zoom is terrible for this, but it's also sometimes the fault of the meeting organiser. There's a setting in the Zoom admin panel which allows admins to enable/disable the option of joining from the browser (or there used to b

Is there something I'm missing? A quick search of YouTube reveals tons of garage door spring replacement videos. It doesn't seem like the knowledge or parts are difficult to obtain.

Why wouldn't they allow keyboard input to type the words? Nobody has time to select each individual letter with the up/down arrows. I get it's an emulated game but there must be a way to hook keyboard input.

I could have sworn I saw a documentary where they talked about having legal issues with some of the music, because some of it (e.g. "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountains") was not public domain. There's a little bit writ
