Interesting that govts are also considering biometrics to verify age. Crazy how everyone is clamping down on this at the same time, but I’ve yet to meet real people who like the idea.

Back at the start of the year the UK govt. ran with the excuse that digital id was to prevent migrants working https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3385zrrx73o

(which is unbelievable bullshit, if people already pay cash in hand, a digital identity will not change a thing)

Tbh, I quite enjoy the question / challenge. But on the other hand I’ve been a dev for awhile so could also easily give a long list of real world examples of clients asking me ridiculous (and sometimes interesting) questions.

Me too.

I scored 11/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Really helpful explanation, thanks.

Really helpful explanation, thanks.

Copying from excel to gitlab issues works too.

But super useful tool.

I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about VSCode.I’ve used it briefly and I must have always installed some default plugins to make it work with python!

The only query I’d have on that definition of IDE is that they all require an external compiler or JIT interpreter to execute code, because the versions of the compilers changes so frequently it’d be crazy to release an ‘all included’ IDE. (The old MS Visual Basic is an example of ‘all included’)

But yeah, pycharm or phpstorm are “ready to run” bar the code compiler or interpreter, I don’t have to open a terminal or something to run code I’ve written.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it’s possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

Anecdotally, I remember using it for answers to things about probably business, government, and certain how-to’s. I also remember when the pop-over banner started covering up half the answers and that’s around the time I stopped.

Here’s a post discussing quora from Dec 2018.

all philosophical views aside, there are some really core issues that got me to stop using Quora and unfortunately the case to stop using it is made by the site itself:

• The content quality has deteriorated significantly since the site’s inception. The content is far cheaper than before and far less interesting in very obvious ways.

• Moderation systems have not done a good job of growing the site as a community. The site has lost the character that drew many people to it in the first place.

• The machine learning models terribly over-fit to user signals, creating a frustrating experience.

These 3 core issues with the site are what got me to gradually stop using it as someone who was initially an early adopter.

Quora did it. I don’t go there anymore.

There’s a white paper with the social security logo on it https://www.mysql.com/industry/government/

I use the vi option or plugins for Sublime, PHPStorm, and Pycharm or whichever IDE I’m using. Works for chrome and Firefox too.

Yep, I have this issue too.

I understand your point, but if I give an opinion I’m usually quite happy to provide a link or reference.

We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.
