I think they were appended to the end of each line, so unfortunately that would make it non-obvious that something was there. If they were rendered as spaces that would explain not being able to see it. Displaying them as � would be an impr

This was in 2018, not sure which version. UTF-8 across the board. I don't remember the details, unfortunately. I think there was a pattern to it, like they were control characters or something. But it silently inserted them, and they w

I think browser vendors need to provide more advanced controls for people who want it. Give us a whitelist mode where every feature besides base HTML is turned off, unless we explicitly add the site to our whitelist. I want checkboxes that

Beware: micro sometimes inserts invisible characters into your files. I never figured out why, and it seemed to only be on Debian. I lost 2 days to troubleshooting weird problems, until less revealed some configs had little droppings of ran

Wow, I never realized this. Make sure the Search field isn't focused, it is by default on launch.

I wonder how many real word resources are wasted over this. It costs money to serve that data, it costs money to download that data, it congests the network wherever that data is being routed, it consumes energy however that is generated in

It really isn't as good. I want DDG to be awesome. I'm not in the Google ecosystem, and don't care for their business practices. I would be happy to dump them. But Google search is noticeably much, much better. They've g

I share the same sentiment. I'm not even a graybeard yet, and I'm sick of the work culture/environment/processes. I'm in my late thirties, so I'm somewhere in the middle. I've been around long enough to re

Definitely frustrating for anyone not on broadband. There are more of us than you'd think. It's a giant 'fuck you' from the software industry, real world efficiency be damned.

Right... the earlier point releases were 100-500 MB. Full history of OS X update sizes: https://robservatory.com/a-full-history-of-macos-os-x-releas... It seemed to start getting out of hand around Yosemite 2014.

Putting ads in your 3 second blog animations? Really? Comes across as incredibly trashy. Unrelated to the article, sorry. I have never seen this before...

Unity editor is more stable. Unity editor is more performant. UE4 is easier to work with in the long run. I find that Unity is just missing stuff, or has half-baked solutions that change. UE4 already has this stuff included as core product.

Isn't it common to assume that everything connected to the internet is illegally monitored, recorded, and exploited to the fullest extent? After Snowden, how could anyone not be aware of this? You see the director of the NSA blatantly,

It's the unusual guests. Rogan himself is pretty dull, same repetitive talking points about uninteresting things. The best shows are when he gets someone on and lets them talk for hours about a niche topic. He has a large back catalogu

I'm curious, wouldn't you read the info and process it in your mind, and then close the tab when done? If it's something you will need to reference again later, then bookmark it? Like you know... a book. Put it back on the sh

I agree, it's not difficult to implement. For instance, in Apple Mail, there is a setting that is labeled: Prompt me to skip messages over X MB. I bet almost nobody ever sets this up. But I do. I get a prompt asking me if I want to dow

I think this is the wrong solution. We need strong whitelist controls in all of the browsers. Because when you connect to a website, you have no idea if it's going to start downloading 30 MB worth of images and 40 Javascript requests.

I think modern web misery all stems from an industry problem. Everywhere I've worked, I have insisted on building things with basic semantic HTML, hand coded CSS, and vanilla JS where precisely needed. Nobody listens. You can make some

Interesting to see your screen issue. Mine in particular: bright white splotches. There are 12 of them at random locations. I get a new one every couple of months. If you were to press your fingernail forcefully into the LCD, to purposely d

It's exemplary of how out-of-touch Apple has become. Most people either vocally dislike the Touch Bar, or don't care about it, because it offers such little value to overcome the real world inconvenience. Same with external displa

Same impression with the 2018 15" MBP. Topcase was replaced twice, and a full exchange for the third repair, all within the first year. The screen is now pressure damaged everywhere... by gently wiping with a damp microfiber cloth? I&#
