I mean it's not 100% clear cut like that. Has the person told the boss that it is uncomfortable? They could easily just be oblivious to the problem. Secondly, if it's not mandatory there has to be a point where you decide to do what's best for you.

For example, it gets really hot outside where I live in the summer but my office puts the AC at ridiculously low temperatures. For me that means I can't wear shorts in the office because it gets too cold. I wouldn't wear shorts every day and act all surprised about it when nothing has changed nor think anything is sexist or even a personal attack on me.

Their FAQ states they do not collect data right at the bottom of the page?

Cypress is pretty good for this. Every command is queued up and sort of deferred. You write tests in a synchronous manner and it has retrryability built in so it will wait for an assertion to be truth before continuing (with a max timeout ofc).

It's been working pretty well for me so far.

Yeah happens to me too, guess either I'm missing an obvious button or it's slightly broken on some machines (which is to be expected).

They are gone in Spain at least. They show 2 people you know and then its just "and others" with no way of seeing a full count.

Theres an entire site dedicated to listing products killed by google: https://killedbygoogle.com/ tons of products there that I didn't know existed.

That's a bit of an odd comparison to make. Scrollsnapping is a useful feature in many scenarios and as the previous comment mentioned the current way of doing it is hacky.

Popups are an entirely different thing but there are legitimate uses for these too. There was never any work around for popups, it's a simple one line of code, you just need to make sure its opened in a trusted event such as a real user click to ensure the user actually wanted the pop up to show.

I'm not sure that makes complete sense. I don't have a degree in CS as I was self taught and actually bothered to follow online courses and read documentation. If I get sick of coding and want to move elsewhere I still have the option to go to university.

I don't see why you would want to get a degree on the off chance you wont end up liking the job and want to go into a different field.

In my situation I learned how to code at a young age, I wanted to go to university to fill in the blanks. The first semester of my computer science Ba was a course on facebook and the internet which costed 3400GBP just for that few months. Then and there I decided I wanted nothing more from this course.

Nice been waiting for something like this. Maybe some ideas can be borrowed from TabletopSimulator eg. Custom cards etc to allow a larger selection of games.

To add to others points I find that safari often lags behind implementing standards features and sometimes straight up implements then wrong. For that reason I make a point of not using it.

Also as far as I can see I have to upgrade my OS in order to upgrade by browser with safari. Sometimes I just can't be bothered to wait for a 40 minute upgrade to complete.

This site is somewhat annoying on mobile, the sign up pop up, the nominated banner that you have to close, the large vote for us icon in the corner, the blue box that cuts into the content as you scroll up and down.

It's been bugging me for a while now as I can't find the video but the Vs code team made a demo where they were able to jump to a dependencies source code on github inside the editor. Looked pretty amazing and would definitely solve the problems you mentioned.

To me it won't matter, if it gets shut down then I'd go to another provider. As long as they have data portability like GDPR specifies then there isn't a problem.

Doesnt Firefox support chrome extensions now since it has been standardized?

Many reasons why:

- Convenience of just going to a site and not installing anything.

- Cross platform, if you have a browser most web apps will work.

- Being relatively certain that by just visiting a web app you're not going to end up with malware or other unwanted software

- Being able to access your app from other locations without admin access.

- Updates are ready and available instantly

There are of course many many more benefits.

I get that not everything has to be a web app but it's disingenuous to imply that they have no use cases.

No, not in every case can they be built without JavaScript. That's an insane statement to make.

Example: Build a usable decent image editor that allows you to preview your changes without the page refreshing or redownload an entirely new image (therefore using even more data).

Example 2: Make a playable 3D game

Example 3: Make a spreadsheet web app

The list goes on. Some things can of course be done without JavaScript but tons of ideas would not only be infeasible to develop, they'd be a usability nightmare.

I couldn't tell from the link but is it only tunable once to a certain chosen colour at manufacture time? Afaik EInk can achieve 3 states (eg, black white and red)

True, it would be interesting to know how much this would improve a typical ereaders battery life considering they are very good already.

I don't fully understand from reading the article why this is better than EInk. Seems it just uses 1/4 of the energy but other than that is there more benefits to it?

Whats worse is that if you own a google home mini and turn off the web and app activity it essentially becomes a useless brick.

For most commands literally everything is on the lines of "Sorry I don't have enough access to perform that command. You can change this in the Google Home app". Simple stuff like "Play some music" and "Whats the weather like?" is blocked.

I just wish there was more fine grained control over exactly what I give access to.

Last I checked GitHub actually lets you turn off 2fa if you can use an associated SSH key to sign a message?

Not entirely certain but support staff definitely turned it off for me once I lost my phone number.

Except the problem is he basically asked them to give him more money in exchange for guaranteed long term mention in the article.

To me that's a bit shitty because you're no longer recommending them based on what they offer but more so based on how much money you receive from them.

Code was always Microsoft's.

You could check to see if the password is stored in the keychain app. Open it up, browse around and double click the row if you find it. Then you can view the stored password by clicking the show password button.

Not going to lie, the article reads like a content spinner SEO bot and advertisement for your services.

I think most people would like to go this route but IE 11 support holds them back.

The article deliberately contradicts the title, it's literally stating the same thing you're saying but with a real world example (One Note) and why they needed to write their own.

Couldn't they just milk it until that happens and then release a more sustainable option?

If the theatres say no, what is MoviePass's option? They have no real control there.

I'm not claiming to know everything about this, literally just a 23 year old wanting to learn more.

How is this different from me (hypothetically) with a ton of money offering to give everyone their weeks groceries for $10 a month for $40 worth of goods and then turning around and saying to the grocery chain pay me $x for this. It just seems completely bizarre, if they could already offer the price they are asking , why wouldn't they do that instead of paying the middleman?

Edit: No real reply to the parent comment but on a slightly related/unrelated note: what I don't understand is why `maps/` and `shopping/` and any other google product when using Googles DNS goes to their servers, does this mean they plan on purchasing those gtlds?

Hah yeah, to me too. Wasnt until half way through the comments I found out who Snap was. Could have at least used the former name in the article somewhere or their logo.
