As someone who works with both, readability is the utmost important thing for me, and XML is cumbersome and has more characters to sift through to find what I’m lookin for.

Yeah and even as a kid it was too basic (after reading WoT)

LotR was good, had depth. Hobbit? That was a novel in readers digest. 😅

As someone who has read the series 3 times, they absolutely woke-butchered the series and fucked things up. Everything that I loved was rewritten, the characters were changed, and the pacing was off.

Not sure whom I’d prefer to tackle this. After the clusterfuck that was Amazons Wheel of Time, this feels like 9/10 😅

For me that was the first wheel of time book. First ones definitely stay with you. For me the Hobbit seemed lackluster, finished it in one evening and it felt too basic

I guess I’m in the minority, but as someone who grew up with the books and pretty much enjoyed everything apart from Hobbit, I’ve been thoroughly enjoyng the show. First season was a tad slow to grab me, but after the slow start the episodes have been the highlights of my week.

I have zero issues with using the great lore as source of inspiration and doing new stuff with it.

Afaik blocking trackers makes your browser stand out more. You can’t avoid fingerprinting, so best bet is to hide in the masses - so as close to most common resolution and default settings etc.

They do, but less than when it fucked them over. And only at the terminal in restaurant.

The McDonalds thing was simple. 90 cent burger, minus cheese, was -10 cents. Or something along that way. Basically the “hold the cheese” value was fixed but they forgot some items with cheese are piss cheap.

It came with either Windows 2000 or XP.

When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you’ll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.

Does that in fact only affect posts, but not comments? Exactly what I needed!

I’m leaning towards that, but doesn’t hurt to ask. I might suggest this as a feature to the Sync developer, I can already filter posts and comments by keywords and it helps a ton with certain type of content. Wouldn’t be a stretch to get just a post title/community name filter.

I put all those in different files

compont/functions/foo.ext etc.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.

This is one solution to the issue, and it seems silly you are being downvoted for it.

Google became what it became, and years of seo optimisation cat & mouse play has reached new heights. Those obviously target Google instead of their competitors for now.

Would that we could have perfect search results, it would be beneficial to google as well.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it’s likely untrue for outliers.

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it’s more a “getting used to” thing, that once learned, you don’t think about, but it makes things more readable.

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?
