I had no issues that were directly attributable to the way they behave and not to my own ignorance. In short: once I learned and documented the checkout/update/reset commands, I was set. The other “issues” were that they require e

You're using them wrong. I've been using them for years and I have no issues with them, however I treat them as a read-only dependency. They have their use and it's not that hard once you figure out the exact sequence of git

As a non-American, the dumbest change that affects me daily, is the renaming of the master branch. Master means teacher in romance languages and its variations are part of daily usage. In git there's no "slave" part so it alw

European here: I do. I also have a federated government login that I can use to officially identify myself with the many government agencies.

I'm looking forward to the day physical mail is outlawed with few exceptions. Junk mail is such a wasteful endeavor only meant to subsidize shipments of value that can't be electronic.

I think browsers could nowadays figure out when enough bytes result in enough quality. Progressive images should have been the solution since the very beginning and it’s disappointing (yet expected) that they aren’t. I really wish I could

Uhm, this is a preview. You’re not supposed to use it until it’s widely available. They’re just showing it off and gathering feedback. > I'll file this under something interesting to revisit in a year or two. Correct. However things

So verbose. Better: document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(element => element.animate( {translate: '5px 5px'}, {duration: 500, iterations: 1/0} ))

Except that rude words weren’t taped over back then, unless you lived in a monastery.

> collecting users along the way to extracting money from them Can you listen to yourself? When was the last time you paid Node or npm inc? Projects have the absolute right to monetize without having to start that way. You can use bun wi

Same for my European bank. It’s annoying enough that I quit the app and reopen it to try FaceID again. I don’t even know my bank password

No, there’s intention to monetize.

My guess is that it was hacked together and they piled hacks upon hacks for decades. There’s no chance anyone can or wants to fix that. Let’s not forget it came out in 1995 so the codebase must be a nightmare now.

I think eBay has always been terrible. The website was awful and it went downhill fast after 2007 I think. I still remember how I was able to include javascript and CSS that affected the whole page in 2005. Good times. I was using the forme

That’s standard. This scam is nearly 2 decades old, except back then it was done via PayPal. I think you’ll find more by searching “PayPal chargeback scam”

In my European country, you can only mail money via insured mail. Otherwise it’s prohibited. I assume it’s to avoid responsibility and money laundering. From what I see there are limits on the amount of cash you can mail in the US as well.

Which Google are you referring to exactly? With its many successful products, I don’t see Google being overtaken anytime soon. Ads are doing better than ever, Android is holding steady worldwide, Maps has a huge moat that Apple has yet to o

IMHO it’s high time China and Japan went the enlightened Hangul way Korea took half a millennia ago. There’s no reason to keep to absurdity going any longer; even they don’t know how to type their own words and use pinyin as input. The Viet

I mean, no, that's hardly a website. It's as much a website as example.com/demoscene.exe. Nobody ever stopped making art and video games, it's just that they don't run in the browser. If you call it a website, then
