Farthest Frontier is a recently released game in the same vein: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1044720/Farthest_Frontier...

In my experience, the sharp edges are browser compatibility issues, and I've been gratefully avoiding them for years by using jQuery.

It's marketing drivel, and marketing loves the "rule of three".

On iOS there are no web browsers other than Safari, per the app store rules. "Chrome" / "Firefox" / etc on iOS are just basically skins on top of Webkit.

See 2.5.6 here - https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

This is why you don't get any of the features / extensions / etc of Chrome or Firefox on iOS.

One of my favourite lines is from Three men in a Boat: "George has a cousin, who is usually described in the charge-sheet as a medical student, so that he naturally has a somewhat family-physician way of putting things".

This is a fantastic book if you have difficulty sleeping! I had no idea such an interesting topic, the fundamentals of the operation of computers, could be rendered so lifeless and dull or that it would take so many words to do so. I'm reading through it now but it's taking an awful long time as I never get through more than 3 or 4 pages before it's lights out.

The Path of Exile wiki moved off fandom to https://www.poewiki.net and has been very successful. If I google "path of exile wiki" it's the top result for me (in an anonymous window). The creators of PoE even agreed to host the new wiki. The move to the new wiki was heavily supported by the subreddit for PoE, often pointing people that posted links to the fandom version to the new version. I remember there being guides to on how to block fandom with ublock, how to add the new wiki as a search provider in Firefox, etc.

Is that what they mean by "used as the primary key in a database while ensuring good locality"/"database locality"? That read/write access will hit fewer disk pages?

When are we going to accept that we are just a life support system for a bacterial colony?

re PIA, have you seen this? https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technologies-owns-expressvpn...

Nowhere does it say what an "IC" is. Is it so hard to provided the Full Name(FN) and the abbrevation the first time you use it?

This was a bit of a shock this morning for sure. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Maybe it's time to commit to neovim after all.

Why is Wire never mentioned in these discussions on HN, is there something I'm missing? Seems like the most secure option to me: https://wire.com/en/security/

Probably when they were on the verge of bankruptcy in 1996/97.

Not associated with gitlab or employment law in any way, but employers in my country may not ask if you intend to have kids. The reasoning is that will be less likely to hire people that will be absent on parental leave, have more sick days, won't be as likely to do overtime, etc.
