Explorer is not good, and finder isn't much better.

Nah, it's very annoying to be country-centric. The NYT game clues are just so fucking American sometimes and it's very irritating. It's difficult to avoid this altogether of course, but staying away from sports and politics helps a good bit.

draw.io can do similar diagramming. You can generate diagrams programmatically through their CSV format.

Unfortunately documentation for using it programmatically is a bit lacking, but you can for example host a CSV somewhere and use their editor to load it. It's all client side so will automatically update.

As short as zero characters? Not the full name, surely.

There is an annoying bug in Chrome DevTools that people who want to impede debugging of their JS files exploit. I think it's probably related to making the regex engine use excess memory and crashing the tab.

Anyway, just mentioning it to see if someone here knows if it's a well known and difficult to fix bug, or if it's just a bit obscure to have had any fixes for.

300ms for startup still sounds slow to me. Not ridiculously so, but it won't give that snappy feeling.

That's just because you're used to a US-centric view of the internet from all the other Americans who perpetuate the silliness.

You must be able to turn this off, because I've been running many homebrewed extensions for years and never encountered these popups.

Open up Chat GPT, paste your functions and ask it to convert them to rust. Go through them 1 by 1, see if you understand and ask questions about anything you don't recognise. Don't expect the output to be perfectly logically correct, you will have to ensure that yourself.

I've found Chat GPT to be really excellent for quickly getting myself up to speed with languages that I'm not familiar with.

Self checkouts like the author mentioned, which have the "unexpected item in bagging area" component, are awful. Plus the machines are usually laggy.

When the machines are responsive and there's no irritating behaviours of the machine, then they're just fine, or even better than a cashier.

Do you live in a first world Western country and is your social circle comprised of people who do the same? In my experience when you go outside of that circle you start finding people who have personally experienced loss from COVID very quickly.

What does your banking experience look like if losing online banking is a minor inconvenience to you?

For me it would be as if my bank ceased to exist.
