Windows 95 was great if you liked having to restart every 3 hours. At least if you forgot to restart, a blue screen would appear to remind you to.

DOS 6.22 + WIN 3.11 were great.

Windows 7 was great.

Windows 10 is not. Having a good cross platform code editor surely isn't going to make me use Windows 10.

If this takes off, what are the chances it will spread out of the web and be the new standard way we draw graphics, the new abstraction available almost everywhere, the successor to OpenGL?

To me that quote says that there's no such thing as a perfect language.

Different tools for different jobs. If you wander too far from the main domain of the language, you'll find quirks and it's maybe better to use something else.

They don't care. Even the default background has big JPEG artifacts.

I see that you can use "height: 100%" on the inner item to fill the height of the parent that has "display: flow-root".

I've had difficulties implementing similar things in the past.

No, I don't. But all my friends wanted an iPhone and they're not programmers.

I think most people didn't know or even consider one could develop apps for phones at the time. Or why would someone want apps on a phone. Or even what an "app" is. They only knew "programs" on Windows.

People bought what was available. There were starting to appear some apps for Nokia phones but it wasn't widely popular. It was also a hassle to download / update.

Both are absolutely inhumane.

if you use https://encrypted.google.com there's no AMP

yes, use https://encrypted.google.com

I've read 3ds max 9 (2006) documentation. It's the best software documentation I've read in all my life. It covers everything from basic to really advanced. I don't know how the documentation is today.

Less features? The only thing I can think of are the advanced topology surfaces that rhino has. I'd argue most people don't need or want those.

What I REALLY dislike about max is the subscription model. It encourages piracy in all but the wealthiest nations worldwide.

But the biggest downside of all is being windows only.

unless you're on a mac, where it's too slow and buggy for any "real work".

And another is having only a square aspect ratio, which simplifies framing for shooting, cropping AND displaying the photos (clean square grid, no pain from phone rotation to see landscape photos).

Sunburst is such a good color scheme. I really like that the background is black.

I've made some changes like make the left gutter grey have grey background (so I know where it starts and ends) and some other changes for the way I like to see html, php, js and css. I might have broken the syntax for other languages.

Let me add ZIP2EXE for self-extracting archives.

I remember reading this a few years ago, and it touched me as it is touching me now again.

I don't remember computers without pkzip/pkunzip. They've always been around, many copies on floppies containing games and other software, maybe just in case someone ever found a computer without them.

My school computers also had them, and we quickly learned there wasn't any benifit of compressing a compressed file. We had pointless discussions about comparisons with arj and rar without even knowing how they worked.

Good list, let me add bad color display.

Chrome shows wrong, washed out or desaturated colors everywhere (not just embedded images without color profiles or wrong gamma, but css hex colors), it's a big difference from Safari, Firefox and specially from browsers on Windows machines and phones.

Does anyone want to share their experience / recommendation for a router with 4G / LTE SIM card slot?

I think I'm going to be needing one soon.

I use wipr and it's excellent.

I've been using it for a year and haven't seen any ads so far, not even video ads from big or small websites.

The macOS version is free so you can test it. The iOS version is $1 and it's very worth it.

If I already have a Sublime license, and I'm happy and it fulfils my needs perfectly, what would I gain in spending the time to try to get my workflow working in VSCode if it still hasn't caught up, as you say?

Thank you, I've added a le cert for the fqdn and updated the postfix config and a test email went straight to gmail inbox!

I thought let's encrypt was only for domain names and not for email encryption. I'm a beginner in self hosted email.

I'm using spf and dkim, ip is not blacklisted, and the domain I'm sending from has a let's encrypt cert, but my emails still go to gmail spam. (Outlook also, but yahoo goes to the inbox)

Now that I'm thinking, the emails are sent using postfix through the fqdn (subdomain.example.com) which is not served by http and hasn't hot a cert.

If this is the case should sending the emails through example.com or add a cert to host.example.com work?

Or is there another mechanism to use let's encrypt certs for email?

In which EU countries is it used? (not counting russian foreigners)

I share your pain. At least saved items are there and even synchronised. I'm using the save function more and more.

Thanks for answering, I appreciate it.

I already use Google Analytics and it works really great. I don't need the other features and I don't want to include the whole framework just to display ads, it seems really overkill.

I'm glad we have an option to use AdMob separately, please don't take it away.

Excuse the tangent, but what problem does Firebase solve?

I was updating my app and AdMob and they want me to use Firebase now. https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/ios/quick-start

I wanted to know why should I include it just to use AdMob so I checked the video on the page: https://youtu.be/9qCxo0D-Sak They promise to explain benefits for me but they only tell me how to use it. The docs also don't do it.

It seems to me that it solves more some problem Google has than the developers have.

The iPhone 6S also doesn't have OIS.

I'm very experienced in 3ds max (20 years) and I've tried to adapt to blender some 15 times and it's not for me. Max is just more intuitive, which is a shame because I'd rather work on linux or osx than windows.

Similarly I use Sublime Text and I've tried vim some 10 times and it's also not for me.

If you star the official fb php SDK for example, it's just to keep up with having to rewrite the fb part of your app every couple of months because you've composer updated the sdk (Best practice, lol).

It's unbelievable the number and pace of breaking changes.

As an advice, it's less work to disregard the sdk and implement using curl.

Very sloppy and unprofessional from a company that was born, grew and even made their own php.

How can one talk so much about places and non-places without mentioning Marc Augé?
