It feels good and particularly good at this moment to be at an organization that said we need to do things differently from the beginning, and then to be asking ourselves what does it mean to do things differently now and over the course of the next decade,

wow

How come you don't just dump this junk into spam? It's clearly meant to get your dollars so the content is intended to manipulate you.

Why are newsletters a thing anyway? When I see "sign-up for newsletter" anywhere in the text I'm reading it immediately signals that it's low quality content. Probably best to close the tab and continue on Wikipedia.

LOL OK

Cheat codes for your company

Yep, that matched my expectations more than I expected.

Sorry for stupid question, but how does it actually draw stuff onto screen? I see lots of GUI abstractions in fyrox-ui/src/lib.rs but I can't find where it actually interacts with the underlying OS. I'm very curious about how GUIs work in general but I am layman. I assume that you have to go through some API to push your graphic buffers onto screen. So something like SDL, OpenGL, or something native to Linux/Windows (Direct Rendering Manager?). Thanks in advance!

How do scrapers deal with being nice to a website these days? I'm talking multiple IPs, request rate, exponential backoff. Is there any body of knowledge for this?

Perfect! Usually mnemonics are activated by Meta-$letter, e.g. Meta-C (or Alt-C) for "[C]ancel" or Meta-M for "I[m]port". That has long tradition. I've just found the I[m]port example in Evolution's (mail client) [F]ile menu. It also works that way in console twin-panel file managers Midnight Commander and almost all menu-like GUI panels in Windows applications.

No mneonics... All of this Python TUI stuff wastes pixels with 80's technology screen rendering and yet it doesn't have the only thing that still makes TUIs good: fast keyboard navigation. And I don't mean Tab-ing and arrow-ing your way to the button, let alone mouse clicking. I that C or Alt-C presses button with label "[C]ancel". Try to play with Midnight Commander to see. Also not saying that it's not possible in GUI but usually GUIs are not designed with keyboard in mind, while TUIs should be.

EDIT: GUIs had tradition of having mnemonics in menus and sometimes even on buttons. That is until smart people started removing it in the name of the design.

EDIT: Still, will check it out, though I will try to hack my way into adding mnemonics to buttons. Because arrow/tab navigation is f-ing stupid.

Then your cache is lost on every reboot... Evolution (mail client) by default stores fetched email in there (I moved it to other place for backup purposes). It'd suck to have your mail client re-fetch emails every time.
