Indeed, the whole "you're not buying a game, you are buying a license to the game" is a bad argument that is used to justify not allowing resale. The only party it benefits are the companies, not the people. It also kills the

It's funny seeing this article pop up as I've been exploring getting back into the handhelds as well recently. My 9-year old has his old Gameboy Advance SP (those flippy things) but finding games for the GBA is just terribly expen

Seeing things being broken but not being fixed is a real source of frustration. The tricky thing in my experience has been figuring out which are issues that nobody bothered to fix and which are issues that seem simple but require huge chan

The UK in general is left out when talking about Europe or the EU because of a mix of historical behaviour and geography (i.e. not on the continent).

Oh exactly, it's great to have a single cable / charger for many different items in the household. The biggest downside I see with USB-C in this case is that the cables and chargers get quite expensive if you want to be able to ju

Banning corporate ownership of housing wouldn't solve all problems but it would be a good start. Locals in general are not able to buy up as much of the housing, but it would still be something to look at. If I were a dictator I'd

I'm quite curious to hear what the cause was once it's fixed but on the other hand this incident keeps adding to the feeling that more and more big services are failing more regularely.

The one before that was in 2008, so a good 16 years between the two. I.e. not something people ever have to think about.

19 degrees is crazy, I thought that offices and public buildings were limited to 25 degrees? EDIT: I didn't search too long but I found an article from a few years ago talking about the limit being 27 degrees. https://www.el

As can be said about Afganistan and its people. That doesn't mean it's not risky going there or that people are queueing to enter.

I was actually considering going for a ride on the motorcycle today if the outage lasted another day. Beautiful weather, a tank full of gasoline, and no stress about work? Sign me up!

That was a fun 10 hours or so that we were without power in most of Barcelona. Some barrios had ~some~ power but most of us were without. The one thing that surprised me is how quickly rumors started about power being out in Portugal (true)

I'd love to do something similar for myself, but having never worked with NFC I see there are tons of different options. Would you mind mentioning what tags you got?

Interesting stuff, thanks for the reply! Do you run into issues where they block your scraping attempts or are they quite relaxed on this? Circumventing the bot detection often forces us to go for Puppeteer so we can fully control the brows

That does seem like it would make sense if you're working on the same product, in the same team, or in the same location. My team consists of 6 developers, 4 of which in one city, 1 in another city, and the last one in another country.
