My village's name is خنشارة - written in latin as Khenchara. There's precedent for this for kh, so it carries easily to gh as well.

My last name starts with a ق and in latin it's written with a K.

The tools were just to provide a way to write letters that do not have a corresponding letter in latin alphabet, it's not a way to provide all the nuances of pronunciation.

I still maintain to this day that the original usable numbers were 2, 3, and 7.

All that 5 and 6 and 9 crap is useless and those letter were and could be done with normal latin letters:

5 already has kh, 6 already has t, 9 already has d, don't know what people used for غ but you can write it with gh

My eyes would hurt more if I had to look all day at the vertical misalignment of that |> operator

How exactly do you find clients as a consultant? I'm facing a similar issue now, and the networks I used to rely on for clients have all gone downhill recently.

First part of your story reminded me of when I once trolled a non-tech savvy friend by running Windows in a VM on Linux, and told him "have you ever seen what's behind windows?" then I exited full screen to reveal a desktop full of terminals running the matrix digital rain.

It was fairly easy to communicate between frames with JavaScript, so before this was widely adopted, I remember the way we used to “fetch” new data was with an iframe that always had a meta refresh tag in it, and the server response would include JavaScript that would call into functions from the main window passing along any data that was needed.

I might be wrong, but I think even early versions of Gmail did something similar.

We’ve come almost full circle. I remember using this approach back in 2005 or 2006 by intercepting clicks and appending a parameter that just returned rendered html partials that just .innerHTML replace the main contents.

well received, thanks a lot.

I’d also like an invite if anyone still reading has any.

13 years and counting. But I’m sure I’ll eventually clean mine up

I'm not sure where you got that info from, but unless you completely tank everything, there isn't an automatic disqualification. Even if you fail two out of three questions, you'll still get a chance to meet with the screener.

If you’re on a Mac, in safari you can just right click on the QR code and set it up in keychain, then you can just auto fill from safari, no need for a third party app.

My anecdote is that once I was traveling on the 401 and stopped at an ONroute to grab a coffee. The line was extremely long and not moving at all, I had time to download the app, register, place an order, see it print out at the register and someone took it an made my coffee before the line even moved. I just quit the line, moved to the empty section where the mobile orders are and picked up the coffee as I was deleting the app.

Probably 5 VMs in total, one for each dev since they are 5 devs.

I've been struggling with a DNS downtime at Mediatemple all day. Is there a possible more global DNS issue?

except that w-24 is not 24px. It's 24 units of whatever your design grid says, so now you can use a design language to describe your layouts instead of absolute dimensions

You are the one who jail-breaks the phone, but now third party apps you install can have much more unprotected access and you cannot be certain what they are doing behind your back.

> ... Tailwind because you practically don't have to write any CSS.

Only until you want to apply a hover style change on a child element (ie: make that svg icon change color when you hover on the a tag that wraps it) and you discover that you need to write that css yourself.

Gmail search used to be the best. Now it fails to find anything useful most of the time

I was contacted back in beginning of August. Someone was supposed to get back to me to setup a call, but never heard back after that.

I've always done it as: `> file`

isn't it currently the case? colors and style are not saved in the code, but are applied by the syntax highlighting when displayed.. the display of elastic tabs could probably fit in there somewhere.

A bit late to the party, but they don't keep a percentage of your rate. You set your rate and that is what you get paid. Whatever they take as commission is between them and the client.

Only in theory.

Even if you do respect the layout margins and safe area, there design needs to accommodate the change, so where the status bar was only 20 pixels, there's now a lot more space to deal with and the design needs to adjust.

Oh I thought these are minutes of something that actually happened.
