I occasionally screwed it up even with a GUI, possibly because I was trying to recover something and then got lost. Once I had to abandon the master branch for a year because I didn’t know how to fix it. A year later I had probably learned

I don’t know. My bank offers smartphone accidental damage, theft, liquid damage insurance at about €100/year. AppleCare+ costs the same per year but requires an additional €230 for the base AppleCare coverage. If I wanted one I’m sure

This sounds like it happens a lot everywhere outside large American companies. The reasoning probably goes like “why were you even trying to break in, that’s illegal.”

It depends on how it’s implemented, but mandatory insurance should help lower the premium of everyone. Like OP says, you should only buy insurance if it’s worth it. I never had an accident in 10 years of driving so I probably would not pay

I’m no expert but AppleCare seems priced highly enough that they cover butterfingers too. I’d expect regular insurances to charge much less for a similar service (except definitely not as convenient)

I disagree, Vietnamese and Japanese dishes aren’t known for their spices and are bland when compared to Thai food. I’d say some Filipino dishes if anything are too aggressive since many of them are sour due to vinegar or tamarind. Also ever

Eat them in southern Italy. They’re cheaper and you can actually eat more than 5 in a sitting. They vary from 1cm to 2.5cm in size, and you can have a dishful of them. My grandma used to cook them in the summer with tomatoes and onions in a

You used the perfect example. Filipino cuisine is not popular anywhere in the world even if Filipinos emigrate in large numbers. Is it possible that more Chinese people emigrated and opened shops whereas most Filipinos worked as employees o

The hilarious part is that I got this email maybe last week, moving my account to country X. Too bad I lived in country X for 7 months, they didn’t change it then, and now I’ve been in country Y for 2 months, across the world. Why now? And

Balut is fine if eaten right. Only in Vietnam and Cambodia you can have decent balut with pickled papaya salad and tasty leaves. Or deep fried. Philippines and Thailand like it with just spicy vinegar and hot sauce respectively.

I found that to just change the animations to fade instead of scale/pan. The duration is unaffected, it just makes it flatter and uglier. I wonder how fast things would feel if you could disable all animations, Windows XP style.

Not exactly. On the Android store you can choose exactly which device to install an application on. For Apple as far as I know the most you can do is buy the app on desktop and, if the device is configured that way, it will receive the new

I doubt anyone would need to work anywhere near 20 hours without being connected at all. The vast majority of people work on desks with plugs.

Yes but who knows about that? Flight got cancelled? Send me a text, email, whatever. They have all of my information. Text me a link. The reality is that they don't do that because they'd lose money this way. It's best to und

One could argue that viewers count -driven news are just as democratic, except that people vote by viewing/opening/sharing links instead of clicking an upvote button. Same goes for the echo chamber comment: Most newspapers are no

I’m not really familiar with the matter but this year they started requiring immediate reporting from the POS as far as I know. That should tell you how serious they are about receipts in Italy (because there is/was widespread fraud.

Can confirm. My parents own a restaurant in Italy and if the authorities come it’s a € 2000/3000 fine for sure. For a small seasonal business that’s substantial. For example if you give a receipt and the customer misplaces it on the wa

The guy was diving, so it’s possible he had an oxygen tank. My guess is that in that case you’re even less likely to go through the animal though.

How about my Google account? Is Google an app or my life? Any app could follow into your description, should they have an exception? 1Password doesn't need this? Backblaze? Amazon Photos? I already gave a solution to the problem: Allow

Everything is an app and nothing is an app. I opened my bank account through an app. Is iCloud more important than my bank account? “iCloud is not an app and does not need a delete button through the same UI” is a double-standard cop out.

Even by poorest-country standards, a one-time $5 is pretty reasonable. It's basically only a minimal deterrent against unlimited generations of bots. Now compare that to what Apple charges

If you have a whole is running in a web worker client-side that’s hardly “static” anymore. A site is static when the page is built beforehand and served from disk — or at most built JIT on the server and then cached.

They do look similar, but are fundamentally different in that they are also URL fields. If thought under that light, the shape makes sense. I honestly don’t know what made Firefox entirely ditch the “tab” style.

The screen is so small you can hardly see any shared elements with the other OSs. They might share some components underneath, but from a user perspective only the apps’ icons are somewhat similar.

Even PRs often take a long time to review and get to a reasonable point, especially but not only from new contributors. Some are so bad I just have to close them even if I want the feature, and some I waste hours on that I could have spent

I can’t believe what I’m reading. On one side Apple says they now offer a compatible API, on the other side you’re telling me dropping a minimum of $800 on a computer (+$100 annually) to release a free extension is the easy part. BrowserS
