Hi I'm Elanora, I'm a fullstack engineer, currently redoing my personal site and relearning how to walk after a cycling injury lol. My favorite feeling in this industry is looking at something I contributed to and being proud enough to attempt to explain why it is cool to my non-technical friends and family. I like to bring that energy to every project I work on and team I work with. Feel free to email me or contact me on the LinkedIn linked in my resume.

I don't understand the Musk fandom in the comments, I've never seen anything to signal to me he's been anything but a savvy investor? He's a better engineer than the average finance bro sure, but seems far from notable in any discipline this site typically cares about? His acquisition of Twitter destroyed the lives of many hard working people and has made it okay for many more companies to follow similar dark patterns (insane API pricing, furthering content lockdown, probably other stuff I don't like to see in the industry)

console.table() is a favorite of mine for a variety of reasons, but one of the most important to me is that it's really easy to quickly find a giant table in a wall of text if I'm logging a bunch of other stuff.

I haven't downloaded the torrent (and won't download it), but looking at the kat link, something weird is going on here. It says the torrent was uploaded and last updated 5 years ago in the video category of the site? Ubuntu 20.04 was released in, well, April of 2020. Unless I'm missing something that torrent can't possibly be Ubuntu 20.04, but it sure lines up that it could be Rebirth (2016) after all.

Please note that I did not hack the Apple Airtags, I'm just using the video's title :). All credits to stacksmashing of course.

Einstein is probably the most famous fraud of the 20th century. Strange how many people don’t realize he plagiarized his own wife.

Could you provide a source on this? DDG only shows youtube videos and conspiracy websites when searching.

Holy cow! I've seen people complaining, but that is so much worse than I could have expected. So strange to come from Apple of all vendors.

Not the person you are replying to, but on Firefox 75 player.vimeo.com is requesting WebVR permissions on gentle.app upon first load.

Also just quickly I want to say I love the idea and intentions behind Gentle! I haven't had a chance to play around with it too much yet but it really is a pretty app too.

I've found one of the best compromises is using setting uBlock Origin to advanced user mode, globally block 3rd party frames, and enabling a few extra filters that I don't know off hand.

Most sites will still mostly work, and the few that don't usually just need a CDN to be enabled (you can do this per-site).

Yes it happened to me, a hotel was priced significantly cheaper on Google and on their site initially. When the price went up I just called the hotel and the higher rate was their standard and only rate that they offered. The initial advertised price was never an actual option.

You certainly could, however I guarantee a huge majority of users wouldn't read a lick of what they were agreeing to.

Individual popups don't completely solve this, but it makes more obvious that a specific application is requesting a large amount of permissions. They're a bit more digestible to the crowd that won't bother to read an alert longer than one line.

Hah I know right? I do wonder however, is there a use case for these furanocoumarins found in grapefruit? Perhaps it could make for more efficient drugs that could (potentially) be cheaper? Or perhaps doctors prescribing ludicrously expensive drugs (like the cancer drugs listed) could prescribe a lower dose and a grapefruit concentrate?

Speaking of PHP, I'm really enjoying using Laravel as of late. I'm not super experienced in web development, but the Laravel experience is my favorite so far. The Laracasts tutorial series is also top-notch. I really wish other projects had official video tutorials like them.

P++ idea: FAQ 7 years ago

No I did not make a formal list, but I probably have some gists from when I started that could jog my memory a bit. Where would be the best place to provide feedback?

P++ idea: FAQ 7 years ago

I'm very interested in this and will be watching to see where this goes. I've just started PHP this summer as an intern at a company that uses it. At first I was really put off by the language, I had never seriously worked with either web languages or languages that used dynamic typing. So many things seemed strange, dated, or even just plain wrong. On top of that, the official documentation is often confusing as far as best practices go and the ~20 year old comments can only add to confusion (though it is neat when one helps out).

All that said, I've come to enjoy the language for what it is. It works seamlessly with HTML/CSS and can provide so much function with little effort put into configuration. Nearly everything I need to be done can be accomplished without frameworks or libraries, maybe just Bootstrap's CSS to make things pretty enough for the end user.

I could see P++ being useful for PHP as a chance at rebranding. PHP horror stories had made me believe it just had to be bad language. If P++ brings all of the good of PHP along with typing and better syntax in general, I believe it would be a much easier sell to devs in a situation like my own.

First thing I thought of as well. It's a fantastic project and I would hate for Canon's response to this to negatively affect them, whether it becomes hardening the device's firmware upgrade process to the point that the project does not become feasible or unnecessary legal woes.
