While you may be correct, I think op was referring to the the tool that counts the comments for this chart.

It maybe used the APIs to count comments and that's why the sudden drop in the comments count. It just can't count them as reliably anymore.

But it's just a guess.

Yeah, for this reason null shouldn't be part of any production code. If there's the possibility of having a null value, you need to check every variable or returned value to be safe.

These monads tell the consumer of your functions to do something (a check for emptiness or wait for it to be ready, or iterate it) to access the value inside. In a safe language, if the value is not wrapped by a monad, then you should expect to access it without issues.

I kind of get why people don't want to call them monads, since it sounds like a heavy term and more things to learn that are not strictly "necessary", but the earlier you learn about their importance, the earlier you can use any of their benefits in your codebase.

In the worst case scenario, you can access it via browser and then bookmark it.

I do that on my tv for which almost no apps can be installed and found no issues so far. Even HDR media plays, which I found that it is (or was?) a paid feature on Plex

That's good, I think having a powerful phone if you can use it comfortably is great.

In my case, I started having wrist pain from just using the phone.

The ideal situation for me is that there are several options coexisting for everyone to choose, so I could get a small phone with some compromises and you could get a fully capable bigger phone also.

Definitely! An a-series model with a screen size sounds 5 inches would be awesome

The camera is very good too. I would say that the pixel takes very good pictures but it applies a lot of opinionated touches to the end picture (like the extra HDR)

Overall I didn't find myself taking too many pictures anyway, I'll give it a better try later! 👍

Imagine that. It's the latest ok-sized phone and it'll probably get discontinued.

I'm making my bets on Asus fixing the bootloader unlocker tool to later make this phone last longer with custom OSes.

I am with you. To me these are non-obvious details, just a bug waiting to silently happen in production.

TIL That looks like a useful word to know, and a good concept to keep in mind for consumers

Pixel + Graphene OS is such a good combination! I've been using it for months now and I feel free with it.

I wish small pixels were still a thing, now they are all 6inch+

I would really consider to get a fairphone if they had a smaller variant. Lately I've grown tired of only having huge phones and I don't mind making some hardware sacrifices if I can use it comfortably.

The Asus Zenfone 10 was a good candidate, but their bootloader unlocking tool is still down, so you may be locked to only 2 years of OS updates

I agree with you. I got a surface go for some time because I wanted to travel with a mini computer that could do some coding with my preferred IDE, document editing, web browsing and a couple other tasks like a computer, even if it was slower.

At the same time it being a tablet was also very useful to watch movies in other rooms!

I used the stylus only because I was curious, but didn't used it more than a couple of weeks

Deberíamos tener una comunidad aquí, al menos una de Colombia 😁

If it is a pure value, I'd assume yes, but if it is tied to a side effect (E.g. write its value to a file), then it would be not used but still could break your app if removed.

I'm not familiar with rust language specifically, but generally that's what could happen

I hope you have fun! You can ask anytime for help, it's a great learning opportunity

Not for chrome, but there are forks that have adblocking capabilities.

Kiwi is a browser that lets you install extensions, so you can install an ad blocker

Or Brave, that includes it as a browser feature. But Brave has had many weird features and taken many weird decisions, so people recommend just moving to Firefox

I am using Firefox as well and I don't think I'd go back to Chrome, but I wish it supported progressive web apps a bit better!

I'm on sync and it didn't autoplay the gif. If I didn't read here that it's a gif, I'd never understood.

Is there a way to autoplay media or at least show some icon to know that the media is playable?
