Depends on the implementation. If you decline, it’s either 1) no cookies are written at all and you get promoted again the next time you visit that site or 2) a single cookie is written only remembering that you declined the prompt.

You’ve got a pretty nice beard for a 13 year old.

Isn’t this the usual to begin with?

kamen,

I hope this is real; and if it is, I hope there are more teachers like this.

Evolution do be weird sometimes.

Black Friday (files.mastodon.online)

alt textthree rows with a barbecue on the left and William Wallace in Braveheart on the right. In the first row, captioned Wednesday, the barbecue is labelled “$899.99” and Wallace says “hold”. The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same. In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with...

That’s why you don’t buy in a rush but rather track the price of something you’re interested in buying over a couple of months.

kamen,

Imagine playing a shooter over a network using this protocol.

kamen,

DD/MM for readability, YYYY/MM/DD for alphabetical sorting that’s also chronological.

kamen,

By this logic one might say that DD/MM/YYYY works for alphabetical chronological sort if you don’t go between months…

kamen,

In order of appearance: wildcard, simplified, traditional.

kamen,

Yeah, but there’s still the tendency to simplify things (e.g. “color” vs “colour”) and the ever shortening of phrases as if it’s difficult to say the whole thing (“macaroni and cheese”).

kamen,

Unless we’re talking solar, wind or something else clean and renewable, EVs don’t eliminate emissions, they just move them somewhere else.

kamen,

Fair point. But that pollution still ends up in the atmosphere, just less concentrated above the cities.

kamen,

Probably around the pandemic when people became extra wary about hygiene - at least that’s my observation. I’ve also noticed that people listen to voice messages like this - if you’re in a loud environment and don’t have headphones, it kind of makes sense. It still looks stupid, and for normal phone calls it is stupid, since both the earpiece and the microphone are optimised for having the phone on your ear.

kamen,

One key thing that can help you wrap your head around rebasing is that branches get switched while you’re doing it; so, say you’re on branch feature and do git rebase master, for any merge conflict, whatever’s marked “current” will be on master and what’s “incoming” is from feature.

There’s also git rerere that should in theory remember a resolution you do between two branches and reuse it every time after the first; I’ve rarely used it in practice; it would happen for long lived branches that don’t get merged.

kamen,

My take is use a GUI for anything read-only/nondestructive (i.e. anything that won’t modify your local or remote state). It’s nice for example to compare the state of two branches.

For anything that does changes make sure you know what’s happening under the hood, otherwise you might shoot yourself in the foot. It’s convenient for example to do a commit and push in one go, but then you lose the ability to edit any changes (you’re forced to either do another commit, or change your local commit and force push).

In VSCode you can go to the Output pane and switch to Git - there you’ll see everything that gets done through Git’s CLI for whatever you do through the GUI (although it can be a bit noisy); same goes other GUI utils.

kamen,

Maybe they got something that you missed. I often miss details like that.

kamen,

That might be kind of convenient actually - racist assholes of all colours will label themselves and probably kill eachother while (hopefully) most of the population’s foreheads will read “None”.

kamen,

This is now the correct database.

They should have like regret baskets midway through the store.

kamen,

Whatever floats your boat!

kamen,

People want to sound fancy.

kamen,

What happened to the idea of small, non-intrusive banner ads? Of course it’s not realistic to expect those on YouTube and they bring much less revenue compared to in-your-face video interstitials per impression, but I’m much more likely to whitelist those.

The film industry NEEDS TO CHANGE

Agree, and I’d add that it’s not just the film industry. It’s mostly the same shit all throughout entertainment industry as a whole. Take video games for example - each year there are assumingly AAA titles coming out half cooked at release and yet they cost more than they ever have. Thank you very much, I’d much rather just wait a year for you to fix all those bugs and I’ll buy the game at 80% off if it’s any good.

kamen,

Well, what do they expect? Of course there won’t be much (if any) revenue before release. If you built trust in the audience that you ship quality products from day 1, maybe more people will preorder, but the way it is now it’s rather the opposite.

Plot twist: it’s generated code for the purpose of the joke.

kamen,

Won’t work very well if there’s someone constantly shushing.

kamen,

Depending on where you are it can even be “oi, cunt” or “ей, ТАПАГ”

kamen,

Yeah, I don’t know about the US, but seems like Brits use it in a sort of amicable manner.

kamen,

Just curious, what’s the reason for these parts to be expensive? Is it that they have to be properly sealed (unlike an oven)?

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

Still worth it if you learn something from them, even if that something is that they suck.

kamen,

Imagine a site telling you “Sorry, you can’t use asdf123 as your password: you’ve already used it on that other site”.

kamen,

Any website worth its salt will salt the hash as well…

kamen,

This was supposed to be a joke; of course it wouldn’t.

kamen,

Fair enough, but who would explicitly say “I’m interesting”?

kamen,

In some cases it might sound weird and/or immodest. IMO it’s something that primarily the others should judge.

kamen,

I have just one, but snooze it like 10 times.

kamen, (edited )

Do yourself a favour and be a patient gamer.

Edit: It would also do a favour to the industry if you think of it.

Simplified English vs Traditional English

Check them again ten minutes later.

If you download the app anyway, make sure that the first thing you do is to disable the notifications. Many apps have that as their sole purpose.

kamen,

Maybe it’s about perspective. When smaller phones were the default, other phones were more of an exclusion. When bigger phones became the defacto default, smaller phones started to seem smaller in spec in comparison (mostly battery) while being at about the same price.
