Booking.com is the _lesser_ evil imho. For one it shows total price 99% of the time right there on the search page where alternatives like Agoda show total at the checkout which is heavily inflated. Their loyalty program (Genius) is automat

Except Python is a general purpose programming language so it's hard to have 1 shoe fits all solution when style vary based on medium you're working with. Are you making an OOP GUI app? Django? Something that is using loads of lon

As someone who had to learn a bit of PHP recently, I really don't see why would anyone pick it up these days other than vendor/business lock in. Laravel is great but there are hundreds of equally as great frameworks on dozens of m

Isn't field of view much better in the European version? I've only been a passanger in an EU semi and I was itching to drive it, because just how high you were and how much you could see! It reminded me of the Homer's car fro

That also would be skewed imho. I use messenger to communicate with my family and I do click on facebook links they sends me but that's about it - am I an active user?

That's what I fear. I usually join social networks too late but I joined TikTok just in time to have a good time before it all turns to shit. It's already happening, my bubble is being slowly invaded by conspiracy/political&#

Nail on the head with the walled garden comment. I've been developing all sorts of web scrapers for 10 years now and businesses will go to extreme lengths to share the bare minimum required. You can really see that if you look at schem

White space is bad for readability anyways. I don't think that would be doable.

I've noticed that "animating with mouse" has become an animation style of it's own on youtube recently. Mostly in comedic contexts which does look quite charming but in education videos as well which seems to be very fun

Can you imagine saying "no one would use our product if they weren't forced to" and still winning the case against you?

I might be out of touch but that doesn't seem as impressive as this thread implies.

I think dog meat anger is mostly the result of Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China. [1] It's completely unregulated and the animals (dogs, cats etc) would often be tortured and killed by amateurs because properly killing an animal is hard

exactly! What I meant is that returns on mypy compliance investments are extremely poor. For most projects it makes no sense to invest so much time playing this "hack this hint" games but for big projects every single digit% impro

The problem is that people try to turn type hints into static types. I got rid of mypy from all of my projects as it provided no value and just created this constant battle of "making it work" - a collosal time waste. As this blog

I'm really excited to see how China's 150 new reactor plan in the next 15 years[1] works out: > China says its plans could prevent about 1.5 billion tons of annual carbon emissions, more than what’s generated by the U.K., Spain

FYI Python can server http basic auth straight out of the box! I wrote this tiny wrapper Sauth[1] that has been a real life saver for delivering minor WIP stuff to clients who are not in the whole cloud ecosystem - just type in url and pu

I've tried this and much more but there's still noticable delay compared to Linux' twms and it's not only about workspace switching. There's this huge thread on stackoverflow[1] which is a great illustration of what

Yabai gave me the best results by far! It's as fast as you can really go on MacOs and it feels like a true twm system. Unfortunately, due to restrictions of the OS itself (you can see the issue tracker) you can't really have the s

I really tried to like macOS for an entire year. I used Yabai[1] as tilling window manager which is much better than Amethyst mentioned in the article. I also wrote my own compose key tool macos-compose[2] and rofi-like clone choosem[3] (ev

Why did it take us so long to get rid of these oversized scrollbars? I can't recall monitor quality of 90s/00s but surely the scrollbars didn't need to take 5% fo the real estate, right? Makes me wonder what sort of currently

As an active StackExchange participant I've tried to get into Quora multiple times but the purposefully, grey-pattern-ridden UX is the real barier to entry. I still can't figure out how the darn thing works.

I'd completely disagree with you here. Chess is only there because of history but it checks none of successful esport checkmarks. One might even argue that it has been a "solved" game for decades which is the opposite of what

On the other hand people rarely share stories like this. "I could not make it through the first day of working at amazon" is something most of us would leave out from our resumes/conversations. What if there are more than &qu
