That’s correct. I’m not talking about what happens to your data but about what you see on your feed.

Accepting 1500 friends and then complaining they’re too many. Who’s to blame here?

Facebook is what you make of it. It offers relatively granular control over who you want to see so if even you must be friends with someone, you can still unfollow them.

Surely the default is a bit annoying, especially when joining groups, but those can be unfollowed too.

The only thing I can complain about is “your friend reacted to or commented on some post” I don’t care about. That’s Facebook’s fault but your friends are your fault. Most of the time I add friends and promptly unfollow them because they share memes.

> short range wireless tech that actually works reliably

I suppose you’re talking about AirDrop, which for me happens to not be that reliable, especially when sending files from/to Macs. Bluetooth worked much more reliably back on Symbian and OS X Leopard, but we know Apple likes proprietary solutions.

Public domain doesn’t mean easily accessible. Even if I’m able to find an organize this data from torrents and online pastes, I wouldn’t use it unless the effort was worth it.

With tools like this your grandma will find out where you’re registered to.

An easy fix would be to deliver the results to my email.

This is the only reasonable explanation. If they fail to release it for any reason, they don’t want apps to mention a phone that never existed (especially if, say, they don’t have the rights to the name)

That’d make sense if it was what Apple says.

They allow anyone to say that their app is XS-compatible even if they never owned an iPhone.

Their worry is not actual compatibility.

A couple of hours in Manila’s traffic on a motorbike coated my ears with black dust. If you can even just reduce that intake by 30%, your lungs will be happier.

That's right. A whiteboard interview can be done without getting the interviewee up to date with the company's policies and tools, which might take longer than a couple hours.

I don’t follow.

1. You don’t have to write any code to use HTTPS, it has already been written.

2. Are you saying that since HTTPS isn’t perfectly secure you’re gonna use the definitely insecure HTTP? What kind of logic is that?

Two reasons: they have 40 Gbps thunderbolts and they love dongles.

Some things may be cheap and common in a place, but an exotic delicacy in others, so the market adjusts.

I wouldn't call "having to open a separate, unrelated app, visiting its homepage, entering your Account area, finding the Subscriptions list" easy.

Easy would be:

    - Open app with subscription 
    - Go to settings  
    - Find subscriptions

Some languages are objectively easier than others, at least in part.

Latin languages like Italian, Spanish and French have literally dozens of conjugations[0] where English usually handles all tenses and quantity with "will, would, did, had, -ed" plus a handful of irregular verbs, which themselves have two words to learn each (unlike Italian irregular verbs [1])

Spanish and Italian are only easier to read and write since their spelling is regular for the most part.

No easing though. You can't avoid the "snapping" at the end

> messages over the SMS character limit are also sent over MMS. It sends 160 characters over SMS, and the rest is chopped off if you don't have MMS

I've never seen my phone switch to MMS automatically because of the length. I've had old black/white Nokias support concatenated SMS

Sadly `auto` values can't be animated. It can only be done with a bunch of hard-coded sizes and positions. Remove an item anywhere and you'll have to manually adjust.

I’m confident that this is a first step towards integrating it into Firefox itself.

1. Test Firefox Monitor on the web

2. Integrate it for all Firefox users

Sorry, you can’t say “CSS sucks” when the only limitation it has is your lack of knowledge. If YOU can’t build complex layouts with it, it’s not the language’s fault. Plenty of people can. Open an “awards” site and see what people can do and you can’t.

Fun to remember but obviously useless at this point thanks to CSS animations — which are eased, interactive and more complex than x/y movements.

Don’t do it. Not worth it. Once you get into transforms it’s a waste of time. Anything more complex than a couple `animate` elements and you’re better off with a mini JavaScript lib.

I used to spend time on this but when a little animation takes two hours then you stop.

This browser extension has been around for a few years but in the past year it picked up a slew of useful features and refinements, most of which can now be disabled as desired.

So you can reach actual human representatives at Microsoft, as said.

This extension should be one CSS line, why does it load 3 libraries as content scripts?

    :root {filter: grayscale(1) !important; background: #fff}

I wish extensions had a native way to whitelist/blacklist websites. Until then, you're better off adding that line to Stylish.

OP here. My bad. Apparently they only give the token when you leave your phone or computer, but not always.

I’m Changi Terminal 2 and I’m not seeing any tokens being exchanged. Are you sure that this was not airline-specific?

Side note for the unaware: Singapore’s airport has screening at each and every gate instead of a joint one right after passport control.

I feel that Google Maps search quality has gone down in the past few years. Sometimes searching "Coffee shops" will not show anything within a mile and I have to reposition, press "Search this area" and then it will show the Starbucks a block away.

Probably still better than Apple, which pointed me to a 19-hours-away store when asking for "directions to Albertsons" a couple years ago: https://i.imgur.com/jSCrToj.jpg

That’s literally the first selling point in 128px font. [1]

It might not mention the implementation details but the concept is what matters.

Not exactly and not necessarily. You can await a Promise and not have any functions at all:

    await thing()
    console.log(‘Thing done’)

Also you could attach multiple callbacks to the same Promise at any point, even long after the promise fulfilled.

You can run a server at 127.0.0.1:80, but it won’t work for HTTPS sites… unless you also configure your own certificates on the server.

You're not wrong; documentation especially for migrating is poor. Having to google one error at a time is annoying.
