mjpa86··on Drupal is now light-years ahead of its reputation
The best reasons are Drupal's features and functionality match the requirements of your project the best.

Until you define the project, you can't talk about what stack to use.

mjpa86··on Powerless F1 drivers frustrated by Bahrain F1 software glitch
They did, teams confirmed there was an update being deployed during the delay after the aborted formation lap.

Restarting in Hamilton's case "fixed" it because it removed the condition it was in, if he would have done the lap again, it would have happened again.

Teams confirmed it was a firmware update on the broadcast. Article is correct.
mjpa86··on Gmail will end send-as support from third-party email addresses
do you know if that integrates nicely into calendar widgets? when i tried outlook, you could add to the phone's calendar to they showed up in the widgets, but clicking on the events didn't work at all
mjpa86··on Gmail will end send-as support from third-party email addresses
Is there a decent alternative to gmail that works seemlessly on android?

Proton's performance is terrible, as is Outlook, not to mention it's search that just doesn't work.

Unless I've misread it, this will stop people using their own domain on gmail and using an external mail server to send from gmail using their own domain right?

mjpa86··on Show HN: CheerAd – Let your audience support your website with paid messages
The back button breaking seems to be if you're not logged in, as loading the dashboard redirects to the homepage. Might be better to show a modal or something prompting the user to log in or at least use window.location.replace so it doesn't kill the back button.

The demo page looks to be what I was missing, are these placed in a specific location (eg the bottom right corner of the window) or is that up to the site owner?

mjpa86··on Show HN: CheerAd – Let your audience support your website with paid messages
Warning: If you click on the Dashboard link in the menu, it makes it impossible to use the back button to get back to HN.

Am I missing something or is there is no pages that actually show what they look like?

I'm on EE with a ported in number and didn't get a call I should have earlier...
mjpa86··on Why is Git Autocorrect too fast for Formula One drivers?
There is no green light at the start - it's the lights going out they react to. There's also no minimum time, you can get moving after 1ms - it's legal. In fact, you can move before the lights go out, there's a tolerance before you're classed as moving.
mjpa86··on I discovered caching CDNs were throttling my everyday browsing
I'm with Zen and don't have the same issues, even farnell.com works fine
mjpa86··on A Journey building a fast JSON parser and full JSONPath
aren't they implied strings? If "[a b c]" is an array of 3 strings, "a", "b" and "c", then True is a string "True". That's the problem.
mjpa86··on WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight
Was on a UK flight last week, was told speed in mph. Pilots etc might use knots but if the data is for passengers, mph is more likely
mjpa86··on Maps and Memory Leaks in Go
what happened to a memory leak being some memory that was allocated but had no reference to it so couldn't be freed? If you can copy the map and release it and the memory usage drops, there is no leak?
mjpa86··on Lenovo shipping new laptops that only boot Windows by default
According to https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/Enable_Secure... - it's a Microsoft requirement that it's disabled by default, so presumably Lenovo won't be the last to do this?
