It's better to start late than never. You probably have only a handful of high-value accounts. Emails, hosting, domain names, utility providers, social media.

Then you can focus on anyone who has your private data. E-shops and such that store your address. Realistically those can be pretty damaging if they get breached - even if your password doesn't leak in plain text, your name and address would be up for grabs.

But think about adopting the habit of gradually building up your discipline and addressing old issues as you revisit old accounts.

I think it's not strictly legal issues but one of two things.

The first is what I've heard being called "a healthy dose of obscurity". With a large enough pool of users, there is a finite number of behaviors that would trigger a certain ban rule. To avoid having their triggers reverse-engineered, they say as little as possible.

The second is is reasons being subject to interpretation. The risk there comes in a variety of flavors from PR risks to lawsuit risks when a developer are banned for X but there's an important nuance to X that the developer ignores by choice or otherwise.

I don't mean to defend anyone here, I'm just hoping that someone smarter than me will tackle this somehow.

SponsorBlock would be one where it automagically skip ad segments that are a part of the videos. It also adds back the dislike counter.

The article mentions custom swipe controls, swipe controls, and "codec features" which I'm not familiar with.

"Lapse of judgement" is a fairly common expression for a mistake

Aha, maybe I misunderstood the example initially. In this case it could be a rate limiting feature that would ensure your browser is not making an excessive amount of http requests. That said, some parallelization should happen so it could go faster. So it does sound like there was no attempt to make it good for users.

Sometimes users find a loader reassuring that the operation is working. I can think of many instances where, as a web developer, I've been asked to implement a loader because an important process finishes too quickly. Now this is anecdotal and may not be why the publisher did it but it can see why it would be implemented.

Morally the author is in the wrong according to many. He did publish malicious versions against the short term interest of the community.

However he also distributed the software under the MIT license - that is "as-is" and "without warranty of any kind". So I'm having some trouble understanding why would you point out his personal life, psychological state, or his past projects as justification for anything related to Faker?

I haven't checked earlier versions of Faker but 5.5.3 does credit both the Ruby and the Perl libraries.

Probably one of the JetBrains products, e.g. WebStorm or IDEA.

It's hardly a binary thing, people put a lot of time into becoming good at games to the point where they can almost compete with pro players. Switching to a new game is a major setback in that regard.

Not the original author of the comment but I share the preference. I hold my phone often by the sides; the edge of my palm is a bit higher than the edge of my phone and is not supporting it from below. A bit like this but without the assistive strap and my fingers actually wrap around the phone a bit more: https://images.app.goo.gl/oxvXQRVBg38oTjnH6

My hands are somewhat skinny so the meat of my hand doesn't interfere but I think my phone case also has to do with this. My grip seems rare, I couldn't find images of it.

I can't use my pinky as a hard stop always, because if I do it for long enough, I'd get some pain in my joints.

I switch between grips depending on what I do. My texting grip is the one people usually have and I switch to it by pushing my phone with my body to guide it down my palm.

I'm curious, what do you want to give the author with this comment? Do you think that this is constructive or helpful for what is shared here?

One of those stories that get posted every other month about "How I racked up $xx000 bill for Firebase" explained that they had billing alarms but they weren't exactly real time.

Also, you might be the main/only site administrator, in which case falling asleep might end up badly for you.

What about the min-resolution media query?

  @media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.3),
 only screen and (min-resolution: 120dpi)
 {
  /* High DPI code */
 }

It doesn't forbid classes explicitly but website mentions "No class names" twice which doesn't portray them in a very good light.

Maybe, but how would you achieve that in a way that a company can't evade the criteria? A company can split up and diversify its operations across multiple companies but still operate as one. FTE count, annual revenue, amount of offices, etc. are all things that a company can have direct influence on.

I work for a fintech company and I'm not much of a SQL guy but I often hear how we've reached some limit of what PostgreSQL can do, and every update is a huge deal, even the patch versions.

So I guess it's tech like any other. The more you know and use, the more you're aware of the recent developments. Like pretend you know enough javascript to build small promotional websites with some animations as you scroll down the page. You probably don't care, and are not aware, of the recent developments around optional chaining operators.
