That's victim blaming. Even if we don't pay up, people will still spread ransomware just for shits and giggles. The cat is out of the bag.

Cancer does not spread rapidly through air. Also, chemotherapy is done after you get cancer. It is not a preventative measure.

There should be a way to redirect one recruiter's mail to the other. Redirect spam back to them.

There are no code reviews when we have to keep churning features quickly and continuously, with always changing requirements in the next meeting with the client.

Does anyone have any opinion on how Firebase push keys compare to UUIDs? Firebase push keys are said to be unique and are sortable. Here's a link to the push key generator: https://gist.github.com/mikelehen/3596a30bd69384624c11

No, its because Apple is seen as a status symbol, has good brand reputation and locks users in the walled garden. General users don't know what happens behind the scenes.

For example, https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22406303/imessage-android...

> In the absence of a strategy to become the primary messaging service for [the] bulk of cell phone users, I am concerned [that] iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.

I usually download new games on my phone whenever I'm feeling bored. If the game turns out to be too good and addicting, I unintsall it after playing for 2-3 hours.

> When done site doesn’t work for some reason I go and use some other site."

That may or may not be an option.

When some site doesn't work for any reason, I usually open them in different browsers one by one to see if it works. They act as fall backs. Also, I'm a web dev and I have to use Chrome just for its debugger because Firefox's debugger is slow and it hangs for some reason on our app.

You'll still need to use Chrome from time to time. You can even change the user agent of Chrome to Firefox to make sites see Firefox anyway.

Tree style tabs used to get very laggy when you have lots of tabs open. Sideberry performed much faster. So I switched to it.

Just import all emails from Yahoo to Gmail/Outlook. They provide importers.

They have disabled email forwarding in free accounts. https://www.zdnet.com/article/yahoo-mail-discontinues-automa...

Android allows alternative app stores. But Google blocked Epic from pre-installing the Epic Store on OnePlus and LG phones. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/13/21368395/fortnite-epic-ga...

So you are saying that App store provides so little value to developers that nobody will want to use it unless they are forced to do so? Maybe once Apple faces competition, they will have to improve their store and attract developers by offering a better experience?

Epic can just offer their app in both Apple's store and its own store. It's just that Apple store prices will be higher according to Apple's commissions. If you like convenience of only using Apple's payment services, who's stopping you from buying it in App Store with higher prices?

If Apple rejects the app from being available in its store, then again that doesn't affect you because you want to use only Apple approved apps anyway.

If it's less secure, why are they selling it? They claim their policies are to protect consumers. But then they keep launching new Macs with less secure operating systems for general purpose use. Isn't it hypocritical? iOS apps are themselves made using this "less secure" operating system. Won't someone hack your Mac and add malicious code inside your iOS apps? /sarcasm

If it turns out that Win32 APIs+Wine+Javascript is the ultimate cross platform way to run apps, I would laugh my heart out.

Firebase Functions has a local emulator and a unit testing module. The emulator is quite good for testing your code locally quickly.

Yes. While syntax highlighting is getting rendered, scrolling lags a lot which is really annoying when you want to get to a specifc part of the file quickly. Once I noticed this, it was very hard not to see the same lag everywhere. LSP-I don't know how this works.

Try opening a big complex html file and scroll immediately in VS Code and in Sublime text. Sublime Text blows VS Code out of water. This lag made me switch back to Sublime Text from VS Code.

Opportunity cost can be a big thing. You could be working for money instead of doing something which doesn't increase your wealth.

How about just ask the guy directly? What are his current views?

I used to use Aqua Mail when I had a slow phone which could not run Gmail that well. Now a days Gmail app is good enough. If I use third party clients, the email search does not work as good as Gmail. So there really isn't any option.

Why do people move to America when there is crime happening there? Maybe there are good things in America as well. You appreciate the good things and then try to fix the bad things.

Messages are like email. I never delete them. Situations arrive where I have to go look into past messages to see what conversations I had around several dates.

Someone has to take the first step to solve the chicken and egg problem. If there are jobs requiring Haskell, it might get more users.

To hide names from Truecaller, we have to create a truecaller account with the phone number and then change the name from your profile.

I hope they improve the start menu search and prevent cases when right clicking a file can freeze the PC frequently.
