I hate the "fun" of debugging jQuery. I'd rather have a plain boring easy api.

Probably proving their skills to potential clients.

How is this different from using an adblocker?

Would this block the whole video about the Glass Age[0] by the MythBusters since the whole thing was sponsored? :)

Relax it a bit more and you get Neon: https://ne-on.org/

If you have juniors, then you are a senior.

Does Cross Platform here mean only Windows, Web and Mobile or Mac and Linux as well?

I guess it would be possible to run my own local DNS server that connects to these DoH servers. Does any DNS server support DoH? This could also allow the user to override domains using their /etc/hosts file in case DoH on Firefox doesn't support it.

Why is this supported at the application level instead of the OS? So other tools like ping or nslookup can use it too.

According to https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust they use a similar algorithm as uBlock Origin. So not really "new", just reimplemented in rust.

Here is another take at the same: http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Earth

Is this v.c file not versioned in the GitHub repository?

Not for free. It's a service the owners of the website give to Google in exchange for letting you post. You are the product here.

Once I was working with a database with large integer ids loading them through json and showing them in the browser. There was a bug where ids didn't match when updating a record. The issue was that the json decoder for Javascript didn't handle large numbers, so an id like 12345678901234567 would show up as 12345678901234568. That was fun to debug.

I wonder if the interpreters will convert between BigInts and small ints automatically now? The backend side was PHP and it did so we never noticed the problem there.

Nice, but I'd really like it if the links were actual links so I can middle click to open in another tab.

Will this only work on Chromium since VSCode/Electrum are based on it?

Game piracy still exists. There's subreddits dedicated to tracking when DRM schemes are broken. Also piracy of region locked and old, difficult to buy now, console games has never disappeared.

The games that are out of this are those that need online accounts to play.

The alternative is the Result or Maybe objects with pattern matching from functional languages. It seems similar to return codes with if/then, but the strong typing and the match forcing you to deal with all possible branches (or pass it along) makes it less spaghetti looking.

Eventually they will get tired of paying for worthless clicks

They'll just start paying less per click. A worse outcome for everyone, not just the bad players.

Every time I click the share button in Android, the icons are in completely different order. Not last recently used, not alphabetically. Completely random.

Olive is geared towards users who rely on shortcuts: all editing tools and common operations have them, and you can configure your own shortcuts (UI for that could do with more work though).

I wish all programs that rely heavily in shortcuts also had a search bar for users still not proficient with the program. The way Code Editors have been doing in the last years. Searching with a few keywords is much better than having to look through tons of menus for new users.

There's also another short story by Asimov called The Last Answer https://www.thrivenotes.com/the-last-answer/

To other people not getting what free solo is, it means climbing a cliff without ropes.

My commits are the exact opposite of that comic. My initial commits are unfocused since it's the start of the project and there's a lot going on. As the project stabilizes and changes are smaller and on point, the commit messages become more focused as well.

On Android I use DNS66 [0], it creates a VPN server in my phone, redirects DNS traffics through it and filters it. This way I get adblock all the time even if I don't have a PiHole. Edit: I see now this app by CloudFlare does the same. However DNS66 let's you choose your own hosts filters and your own DNS servers.

Which reinforces the need to do the lookup in client code since you can't code it into GA.

So when was "Time Traveler" used for the first time?

I can change the volume on my headphones independently from the phone so I have it in low. Mine are brandless Chinese headphones btw.

But the shredding functionality was part of the work of art all along. A feature, not a bug!

That's probably because in every Youtube video ever, there's always someone asking what's the song in the background. I think it should be recognized as law akin to Godwin's law, the Darud Sandstorm's law.
