They don't need to take a shift off to come to my place of work because I work on an office where the customers are people doing their job.

And if they needed to take a shift off to come to my place of work, it would only be because they work at the same hours as I do. If they worked different hours they wouldn't need to take a shift off.

Taking a shift off every time you need to shop (at least once per week) isn't moving mountains?

Guessing each time if 12 needs to be added (with usually important consequences if you guess wrong) is.

The meaning is clear in this context, but not all of them. Especially when instead of a range of hours it is a single one.

Although it is possible to determine they "probably meant this one", why would you waste your time guessing based on context and risk being wrong when you can just use 24h and be precise.

There are only 2 reasons I would buy a motherboard:

• The current one broke
• Want to upgrade some other part (usually CPU) and it's incompatible.

What feature would make you upgrade just the motherboard? Especially given how expensive they are nowadays (sometimes even more expensive than the CPU).

Yes.it is hype. Because it is a product still in development. Windows is not yet officially supported, and they announced Linux like one month ago.

It still lacks some basic features. However, what they already have looks good, it is much more performant that vscode.

Advertisers couldn't care less about adblockers. Advertisers don't pay if the ad is blocked.

The point of WNBA is not to look pretty. They are there because they are good.

If straight men want to look at women there's plenty of environments where the point is that the women are pretty.

Storing them in files with correct permissions.

Amazon for me is just a search engine. A shit one at that, because the actual search function sucks. I have to search for a product related to what I want and then keep clicking on "products you might want". And after finding what I want just go to the manufacturer's website and buy it for 10€ less.

If it's a CRUD app and slower than the network, it is a dogshit app. Both the app and the webpage should be exactly as fast, since it should be waiting for the network for most of the time.

The cache is not magic though. It doesn't work for the first visit, and it doesn't last forever. Some clients might not even use a cache. I don't know if this is the case, but if the cache is validated to be recent (an HTTP HEAD request or whatever) that's still a round trip to the server.

That sounds like a shit app. I just don't use those. And if I have to use them, it's rarely enough that they fall into browser's scope.

Of course a good website can beat a shit app. But there's no way that you can build a website that's faster than a good app.

First of all, because your website has to run on an actual app, called a web browser. Additionally, you can't magically remove the initial load time to fetch resources from the server. Those resources are already on your phone on the app so it's instantaneous.

I'm not a child. But I already have an entire OS running on my phone. Why would I run a browser on top (with all of its UI clutter) so I can use an app.

If I'm going to use an app often, for more than a couple minutes each time, I'm gonna use an app. If I'm just visiting a site for the first time, or I'm just going to stay there a couple seconds (search engines), I'm using the web browser.

Browsers are for browsing the web. Apps (run by the OS, not by a web browser) are for doing things.

There are other formats. For example markdown is widely used in the web. It's biggest problem is the lack of standardization though.

Hardware doesn't need to be too weird. Back when I bought my laptop, it was a kinda recent model so most of its features didn't work in Ubuntu (I say Ubuntu because it's the distro that worked best. Tried many others and they had even worse support). After a year or so it worked mostly, except some things.

To this day, 4 years later, the display brightness control still doesn't work correctly.

I don't think hiding the problems do any good. The Linux desktop/laptop experience is not good, specially for non-programmers. It's usable, but not good.

Git is not the only version control software out there, and not the first one either.

Facebook for example is famous for not using git. Because their own modified copy of mercurial fits their needs better.

Microsoft didn't use git until relatively recently either. They had to make some big contributions to make it work for their system.

They were 17. If they were 18 they would be tried as adults.

Do you know what's cruel? Beating a classmate to death.

To be fair, they're discriminately bombing a place with a lot of children. I don't think they're specifically targeting women or children, they just kill everyone. Some might call it a genocide.

Had to go out and find a source myself.

Private companies say less than 1%. Academia says around 20%. That's a huge difference to only cite one side of the story.

If criminals only used cars from brand X and nobody else used brand X, it would be viewed the same.

There are plenty of currencies out there, which normal people use. Cryptocurrencies are mainly used by criminals though.
