It's debatable whether that's an accent or a slightly funny way of speaking. He's extremely soft spoken in that interview, like using conditionals to soften his statements. Maybe he was just nervous. He's also speaking quite formally, like a newsreader would, using fairly few contractions.
It’s helpful to put this issue into perspective. But dismissing issues as not worth caring about on the grounds that there exist larger problems is fallacious and, to me, quite a dangerous way to live life.
“Why worry about your town’s water quality when some countries don’t have access to clean water?”
“Why go to the dentist for a cavity when some people have no teeth?“
“Why campaign for animal rights when there are some many human rights abuses going on?”
In principal, neither do I. What I take issue with is crafting elaborate but completely false bios to make these sound like real artists. That seems slimy to me.
At Monzo we stuffed cards into envelopes by hand, printed mailing labels on thermal printers using slapped-together Python scripts, and filled up mailboxes in the local area every night. We kept doing it pretty much like this until we were sending out several thousand cards per day.
You are right about performance, but does it really matter?
It feels like this is the sort of tool one needs (very) infrequently, and those cases don’t seem like the sort of thing where seconds really matter. I think it’s plenty good enough.
I prefer to focus on how grateful I am that the author has made this and published it for free.
When one first opens the site and nothing happens for 30 secs. you assume that the pdf you're looking at is the actual result (that happened to me, at least), then the other one pops up and you're like ... ooooh I get it!
Without understanding the minutiae of this, couldn’t someone just write a program that we can pipe any output to, which strips colour commands from its input before writing it back out? Does such a program already exist? That wouldn’t require every program to add support for an environment variable.
By itself, less will prevent any control sequences (including colours) from actually being sent to the terminal, but most distros seem to have -R set on it by default these days. If you unset -R it'll do exactly that.
That makes sense. I myself would prefer to have to do something to get the camera to add a timestamp to a photo but I can understand that probably so many people want it to be the default that there's little reason for manufacturers to not make it the default.
Btw. it is not just about date and location. Many cameras also add the lens, aperture, exposure time and the like, which can be very useful for post-processing. I think most EXIF information isn't that sensitive.
And regarding the timestamp: it isn't that accurate after all, because the timezone is 'local' (whatever that means). So if you don't know where the picture has been taken or can't be sure that the device actually uses the local timezone (who changes the time on his DSLR when he travels to a different timezone?), you can only derive the date with certainty.
After all, whenever you post an image online you should be aware of the information you put out there. For example, if you are an American and in the background of the picture is the Eiffel Tower, a burglar doesn't have to be Sherlock Homes to guess that you are on vacation.
In addition, the article is about the information that is not explicitly encoded into the image (like EXIF), but implicitly reveals the sensor fingerprint, which you would not see even if you would take a look at every byte in the file, because you need to know what exactly to look for. If you know what too look for, you could theoretically see it even on the printed version of the picture ;-)
I think Notion might actually work best in personal/small environments, and this seems like a smart move to encourage more of that kind of use. My exposure to it is at a large company, where it really does not work well.
So Mozilla's non-standard compliant change broke one fewer site, problem solved?
Even for this site, why is Mozilla not limiting this breaking change designed to fix password fields to: Password fields. They haven't described why type=text or even textarea should be non-standard, only why type=password should be.
If they limited this to password fields, I'd have no issue. But per the code change they did not.
I’ve had issues pasting phone numbers into text fields, where the last digits get cut off because the form doesn’t want hyphens. I’d rather it paste in the full thing and then let me manually remove the hyphens/spaces.
