Getting this error on a brand new Pixel 9 Pro, latest Chrome. Odd

But Node.js doesn't ship with those features built-in either?

I don't follow how this could be true, as normal Russian viewers would have seen a "we started a war" narrative that is essentially blocked everywhere else. I.e. there is a lot to lose, and also, everyone in the west knows there are lots of "good" Russians. They just need to see more of these sorts of messages, so if the Kremlin arranged this - win!

Any Russian users here - does the average person here not wonder why so many previously acceptable services are being blocked and/or silenced? Do they not wonder what it is that the authorities want to shield them from?

For a UI app, I think it's critical to first know how the app works from a user point of view. Then pick a (small) feature, and try figure out how it's rendered to screen by: - Read high level documentation (hopefully it exists) on the overall architecture, not deep-dives in the beginning - Find text that is rendered and tracing to where it comes from - Use the debugger; set breakpoints on client + server code to see the flow of data, particularly into lower layers that get data from DBs/APIs - Hopefully it's a TypeScript project and you can use an IDE to find references and otherwise navigate from symbols to see where functions/class/fields are used

Not sure if anyone's the same, but I find Google search the least sticky of their services, i.e. I could manage fine if forced to use Bing (probably not as good, but probably good enough), but I would really struggle if Gmail or Google photos access was axed in my region.

Yeah not sure why this is downvoted, seems a fair question.

I believe the vaccine has not been showed to reduce transmission, it's been shown to reduce impact, i.e. she's less likely to die if someone visits her, so great for her, and her families, well-being.

There is quite a long tail of small/niche frameworks, but for most folks there aren't many major ones, really it's 3; React/Angular/Vue. There's probably another 5-10 in the next cohort, including Svelte

I'm confused, why would a fraud bot click on ads that makes LinkedIn money? Normally ad-fraud is when a fraudulent publisher is set up, made to look legit, hosts ads, which a bot then clicks the hell out of. Where's the incentive here for a bad actor on LinkedIn?

Whilst I'm sure landlords are in a tight spot too, what good actually comes from evicting any business right now? It's not like there are any new ones to take their place. Having an existing business with known revenue, waiting to restart once lock down ends seems better than hoping a new one will fare any better.

It's really not. This seems such an obviously devious thing to have done, that I'm amazed they have been so brazen in it. They deserve all the outrage.

Wonder if this route would be perfect for an electric helicopter? It's a pretty short trip (8mins?), and it could charge while people load/unload? Not sure if the tech is mature just yet of course...

I believe FileSystem API is one of them.
