That’s akin to giving a fish to someone.

I think that what philanthropist can do to help is to effectively replace the government: build infrastructure, educate people, provide healthcare, employ the locals for these jobs.

Any money you give to anyone for free will just get someone rich while the rest will continue suffering.

Also, to directly answer your point, you can give those $50 to a person OR spend those $50 to get 50 people to donate instead. This is the point of this “expensive” documentaries.

How do these complex characters come about? Surely they could express the same meaning with a couple of smaller characters?

I feel that this is comparable to writing "Jentacular" instead of "pertaining to breakfast." It's a single word instead of 3, but who understands that (let alone write it, in Biangbiang's case)?

This is not cultural appropriation, this is "cultural integration"

Instead of comin' over and being "the american" (what all people are called in Asia), he actually made an effort to integrate.

There's no appropriation here. He's what all expats should strive to be.

You don’t think 20¢ is astronomical? A person does not simply send one message. A teenager will send a hundred micro messages as day as short as “lol”

I say this as someone with “most of my friends” living in other countries at any given time.

I’m guessing visits around 12PM and around 7PM

Regardless of Feross’ choice, it’s hard to believe how bullish are many of the commenters there. It’s saddening. Manners are dead and people feel entitled.

Then this tool isn't for you. If you're gonna skip the whole point of the tool, you can't claim your code suggestions are equivalent.

Doubt you can write that in less than 7 lines of non-gibberish. Shell scripts aren't known to be particularly easy to write, read, use and to be portable.

This tool probably works anywhere node runs and the author didn't have to think about that, during the evening they took to write it.

Sindre Sorhus' pageres (https://github.com/sindresorhus/pageres-cli) is a more recent alternative. It can even capture multiple resolutions AND multiple urls at once.

I keep seeing comments about the Magic Mouse' "horrible ergonomics" and really don't get it.

I've had "ergonomic mice" for a while before and, yes, they felt perfect in my hand. The issue is that I move the mouse with my fingers and not with the whole arm, so my palms stops touching their _oh so ergonomic surface_ pretty soon, defeating its purpose.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Why do people have to take offense with anything? Seinfeld was right. https://youtu.be/KXDHjwaUtPI?t=45
