I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it’s not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There’s really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I’ve ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn’t do that.

The oddest spelling of “colourize”, with both a U and a Z

Oh that makes sense. I didn’t consider it might be treated as a char

"1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it’s a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it’s fine.

EDIT: I did some testing:

What it works in:

• JS
• TS
• Java
• C#
• C++
• Kotlin
• Groovy
• Scala
• PowerShell

What produces a number, instead of a string:

• PHP
• SQL
• Perl
• VB
• Lua

What it doesn’t work in:

• R
• C
• Go
• Swift
• Rust
• Python
• Pascal
• Ruby
• Objective C
• Julia
• Fortran
• Ada
• Dart
• D
• Elixir

And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.

This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they’ll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.

The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time

I have ad blockers everywhere, except native mobile apps. I’ve clicked on an Instagram ad for shirts. I bought the shirts. People keep complimenting me on the shirts. No regrets there

The AI’s having a hard time deciding what’s inside the bird cage and what isn’t, though it did better than I would’ve expected

No soup. Too dangerous to eat with a long beard, for a first date. Risk making a fool of myself

The more control I have, the more likely I am to wake up, which is pretty annoying. Although, on the flip side, waking up through choice to avoid bad dreams is how I originally developed the skill of lucid dreaming. Noticing the signs of waking up and choosing to stay asleep is kind of a weird thing to do too, but it can lead to sleep paralysis.

However in any case, the level of control I have varies. Often, I am able to fly from danger or decide something didn’t happen and try again. More rarely I know there are no consequences to any of my actions and can completely control space, time and narrative. It’s odd knowing it’s a dream, but it still feels real. Though, still with a dream brain memory and dream logic, I’m not necessarily thinking as sensibly as I would do when awake.

But they don’t plan to drop MV2 though

I don’t have adblock on my work computer. I don’t want it interfering with webdev and I’ve found it to do so in the past. But it’s interesting, the dichotomy between sites I use as development resources vs the rest of the web. My phone and home computer are unbearable without adblock, but on my work computer, the ads are hardly noticeable really.

There’s over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it’s pretty lacking to me

Waterfox is a version of Firefox that is modified for tighter privacy, with support for Chrome and Opera extensions too.

You used to be able to use the Chrome Store Foxified addon to allow you to install Chrome extensions in regular Firefox, however it looks to be broken now and no longer in the Firefox addon store.

With a little knowledge, it’s not very hard to make your own messaging app and share it with those you know. And there’s plenty projects online that give you what you need without having to write the code yourself. Alternatively, there’s just plenty dark web and under the radar apps already that won’t bend to this ruling.

What it is, though, is very inconvenient and annoying to do so.

But if you’re an actual criminal, then there is this solution here that can never be subject to this ruling.

So what this clearly means is that the EU will violate the privacy of all the everyday people that don’t handle that inconvenience, pushing the serious criminals to dark channels.

There’s a bunch of words spelt annoyingly because those bastard scholars decided they’d like to incorporate the historic roots of words, rather than the reality of words, in their spelling.

A. If I move a large hula hoop over your body, you don’t go flying out the other side. Portals are just large hula hoops with either side in different places.

I’m from the UK, we are the natives here.

Though, I would agree in the UK when it comes to other native languages under threat, like Scottish Gaelic and Welsh.

However, I still think in any English speaking country, proficient English is the most important thing a child can learn in order to thrive in modern society. And separating children of different languages is not a good thing, it only makes racism worse. Instead, we should focus on lessons and programs that teach other native languages, to preserve them, and also teach English to those that don’t speak it at home.

Teaching and preservation programs have worked well for Welsh and the language is growing once again.
