The entire drive 8 times over per day? That can't be right. With 8 hours of usage per day, that's 70 MB/s constant writing. Really?

The complete emulator suite seems to be mostly suited for running tests. When working on firebase functions, I find running only them (`firebase emulators:start --only functions`), with everything else connected to the dev firebase project online, works pretty well. Persistent data but fast feedback loop for what I'm working on. You do need some scripts to manage what you are connecting to from the front end, as if you're just working on that it's probably nicer to not need the emulators at all.

I agree that it's just barely acceptable. I wish the web console wasn't so slow, and the data explorer needs a major overhaul.

I get this argument if it was for e.g. gold. A physical asset, thousands of years of people appreciating it, nothing else like it. But why might it be rational to put some of your net worth to bitcoin? What speaks for bitcoin existing in a meaningful form 50 years from now, instead of some improved, different (blockchain-based or not) digital asset?

>30% is one of the lowest fees in the market.

What? This is simply not true. If anything, 30% is the standard for app distribution. Steam, GOG, MS Store, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, Apple App Store & Google Play are all at 30%. If it's a lot or not is opinion.

>Amazon's Twitch takes 50% fee

Twitch is not an app store, it makes no difference to this discussion. It just happens to be higher than 30, so you mentioned it. For example patreon takes 8-12%, but that does not matter either.

>Also Tencent, who is behind Epic Games lawsuit

Tencent is not behind the Epic Games lawsuit.

Would the need for oil and military go away were we to switch to using bitcoin for everything? Why are those coupled to the dollar's energy usage?

This indeed sucks, but it would be pretty easy to fix. Just allow your nickname to be deleted for old posts automatically. I don't think individual posts' privacy is what people are usually worried about, but the possibility of getting "doxed" when given an easy way to view all of their previous messages.

Why should an account delete remove private messages from others? If you delete your account at your cellphone cartier, should it remove text messages you've sent from everybody's phones?

Ah true, for US users it would be a lot higher. Seems to be around $10 billion per quarter of revenue for US and Canada[1], which means around 15 per user (for around 250 million users[2]. You weren't that far off! That's definitely a lot more than what the gut feeling I had was (which is why I just googled the first stat that seemed to align with my hunch - classic mistake).

1: https://www.statista.com/statistics/223280/facebooks-quarter... 2: https://www.statista.com/statistics/408971/number-of-us-face... + ~20 for canada

How do you come to that number? $30 per month from WhatsApp alone? This source seems to think it's closer to $30 per year per user for the whole of facebook: https://www.statista.com/statistics/234056/facebooks-average...

Exactly. It's hard to see how masks themselves could have a negative effect. If they have a positive effect caused by people being more conscious of the current situation and keeping a greater distance, or not going out at all because having to wear a mask is a burden, so what? Worst case is they are neutral all things considered.

>but they should at least send him a Nintendo Switch as an appreciation

It's a (most likely) transitive npm dependency of about 50 lines of code. Not saying it doesn't do something useful -- quite sure it does, with 45M weekly installs, but it would be pretty ridiculous to send Switches for every dependency..

But hey, no problem, you can still get these 4 newsletters Free Of Charge delivered Straight To Your Inbox weekly! No need to thank us!

Yeah, it's not great. But you can get to "new tab" by longpressing the tab counter thingy. Yep, I noticed it by accident.

Cryptographic signing is a core feature of PDF, but not HTML.

"To be used in Bing Maps" is a bit of a stretch. They're models shared by users you can import one by one into your install of MSFS.

The most amazing thing about this feature is that no matter how much I try, I never seem to be able to re-shake the window in the proper way (which would bring all windows back up again). But nice that it's at least possible to disable it via a registry hack.

That would only list those recoveries that have been bad enough to warrant a test in the first place. With health care systems being overwhelmed the world over, almost no country is doing extensive testing of all people who suspect they might have been infected, meaning there will be a huge number of mild cases going unreported. South Korea is perhaps the only exception.

It's an one off art project, not an actual product they're aiming to start selling. Of course it's a "gimmick", that's not the point.

>In Europe many of them are variations of 1XX, but since there are so many and sometimes they change too, it's just ridiculous to remember them.

Eh? 112 works in the whole EU. As your link says. Of course old legacy numbers also work in many countries.

But isn't a Promise for all intents and purposes the same as a Future here?

It's probably more that there isn't enough of an install base to make it worthwhile, sadly. Of course as a Rift owner myself, I think it'd be a damn shame if VR never arrived for MSFS2020.

>just make sure it degrades gracefully

Okay, example: client pays me to make an somewhat interactive website. Client wants it to be done using React as that is easy to get other devs for in the future, if the need arises. Client doesn't want to pay double (random estimate) to make everything behave in e.g. Lynx. Do I do it out of pocket, or just say no to the client?

Why should it start at specifically zero though? Growth can be, and often is, negative. Shouldn't it start at -50 to be sure? The point of the chart is exactly to show ("exaggerate") the difference in values!

If bitcoin had global adoption, there would be no more armies in the world? That's quite a stretch...

Did you comment to the right article?

Even boring CRUD apps might want e.g. push notifications.

Ok, but that's not the point though? The assumption is that The Average User wants these soundless video gif-likes to autoplay. But The Average User never wanted popups. If you don't want them to autoplay, there probably is a setting or extension for it.

That's pretty standard everywhere, though? It's not like the newest iPhone would be marketed with "iPhone - the phone that makes calls and sends texts"

Apart from stuff that competes with their app store, like web push, of course

I look at git blame (using 'Annotate' as IntelliJ calls it) quite often to figure out reasons for some certain change/implementation logic. It irks me when the result is just some giant squashed commit with 40 lines. Which of these explains this specific line? _History_ itself, yeah, not that much.
