You can make the exact same argument about employers paying different rates depending on the country the employee is based in, and for all the same reasons. Is there a good reason why a developer in Thailand or India…
I'd disagree. The users of OPs tool certainly are, but it doesn't seem like that's the responsibility of the developer.
UK here, and we don't print return labels for Amazon. We just take the package to the local store, and they scan the returns barcode on my phone which then prints a shipping label right there, and also doubles as an…
Dislike of a particular aspect of a product doesn't need to be concrete/provable - a vague feeling of "I don't like this so I won't use it" is all it takes. With Pocket in particular, the bundling with Firefox moved my…
In the early 00s there were a number of text services providing the same function. I got banned from one for the questions "What is the collective noun for a clitoris?" and "What is the resonant frequency of a…
A net?
Great write up! While this one probably isn't for me, it's planted the seed of an idea. I have a new kitten who we've just started allowing free roam of the house at night, which is fine until dawn when she thinks we…

Their long term product vision is based on an incorrect core belief.
This seems pointless. The fact that it's not primarily a chat app means nobody is going to use it for day-to-day messaging - you already have to have payments in mind before you start a conversation. So if you want to…
For me, it's become too clunky for a basic blog, and the fact that it stores your content in a database makes managing it a pain. It ties me to Wordpress and only Wordpress - anything I want to do requires logging in…
I'm quite liking https://getgrav.org. With the admin plugin it's a neat combo of flat file and actual CMS.
Also, they're seedless grapes. Planting them would be kind of pointless.
Because there's a global pandemic in progress and it helps with contact tracing. Privacy concerns and public good are not mutually exclusive.
Sure, and when the entire business has the lease terminated because they failed to deal with this, they can all claim that society failed them.
Doesn't this effectively make all your number keys unusable, since they're now mapped to other functions?
If Alphabet just "decided" to shut down - i.e. they didn't go bust, they weren't attacked, they just woke up one day and said "We're ceasing trading with immediate effect"? In all likelihood, the internet as we know it…
Hayne's manuals are always a traditional go-to: https://haynes.com/en-gb/baby-manual-3rd-edition
The problem is, we're not testing people until they're already in hospital. So that 4% mortality rate is very much skewed. The vast majority of people who show symptoms are just self isolating and getting better without…
> As someone who works in finance/banking, I can assure you that this is not uncommon. Your assurance is not reassuring.
I'm not 100% sure of the law, but I wouldn't expect that to make a difference. The manufacturer may not be legally required to include the document if the vehicle isn't new, but if they choose to include one, I expect…
The Monroney paperwork is provided by the manufacturer as a legally binding assertion of the features the vehicle was sold with - there's a copy of that in the article.
I agree, but I do wonder if the developers ideology will make it unsustainable. I currently maintain two federated services - https://pixelfed.uk, which hasn't yet grown beyond a few people but costs next to nothing to…
Very early days yet, but I'm currently using Django for the API, and React to knock up a basic sample front end.
The fact that this was a lemon law buyback suggests to me that the original owner did pay for the feature, but then got a full refund. Tesla intended to restore it to standard features but accidentally sold it on before…
