It's usually product/marketing offering subscriptions, not developers. And unfortunately they are usually motivated by greed.

I'm too tired and bored to source it, but, there are also "multiple studies," as the author puts it, stating that dark mode is better.

If you like sitting in a bright room, you'll prefer light mode; dark room, dark mode.

I was in the same position as you, not too long ago. I kept reverting back to my familiar light themes.

Switching to The Dark Side finally stuck after using it for a few weeks straight. Now I can't imagine going back. When I switch to an app without a dark mode, it's like staring at the sun.

I don't have any issues with dark mode. I feel like my eyes are more relaxed not having to contend with so much incoming light.

Your typical factory pattern is an example of the OCP; move the part that changes into its own class (a factory). The class that uses the factory is closed to changes, but open to extension (new factory types).

Perhaps it's not the SOLID principles that are bad, but they way you've seen them used? More important than the principles is how they're interpreted and implemented, I think.

Would be neat if `navi git` started it up and applied a filter at the same time.

Children create lactase to process milk (lactose) until around puberty, then they stop creating it. I learned in college that studies have shown that a lot of people of Northern European descent continue to create lactase into adulthood, and thus can continue to break down milk and cheeses without issue.

There is still a percentage of non-European population that can consume lactose into adulthood, and not break it down without any external symptoms.

Thanks so much for posting this - I thought I was the only one.

The author is using wizards as synonymous with geniuses plus some geeky RPG terms used as metaphors. She's not implying that wizards exist, rather, that her peers seemed to be performing magic compared to her skill level at the time.

Custom keyboards - on iPhone, long-pressing the mic button in Gboard has to run as a separate app instead of integrating directly into the keyboard. Also on iPhone "secure" screens (that use logins and passwords) never yield to 3rd party keyboards; instead they always revert back to the iPhone keyboard.

Browser plugins - as you pointed out, browsers on iPhone are not allowed to run plugins, so no ad blockers in the traditional sense - you can install a system-wide ad-block engine.

Meta-analyses aren't science, either. They're hardly more than commentary as it's very easy to interpret many studies in a particular way.

Agree - I live in SF. A few months ago, after leaving my local dispensary, I was standing out front looking up directions. The dispensary security guard politely asked me to move along. I don't know where the OP is from, but around SF you actually can't loiter around the stores.

There's also EKS now, which is competing directly with ECS / Fargate I guess?

It would be nice if you told us what this command does for you.

Can you source? Specifically the "eventual psychosis" part?
