It depends on their settings. I usually can see photo and name as soon as I add them. For my own number however people can’t see either piece of information until I add the number to my contacts.

Pardon the jab at Egypt, I mentioned it because when I travelled across it it felt like history was the only thing it offered (except on the Red Sea) and everyone was keen on taking advantage of tourists. Wanna take a photo here? Tip please. You paid €60 for this tour? Tip please. You already paid to enter this museum? Pay more for this one special expo please.

One of the guides also mentioned how excavations and restorations always take forever so that they’re employed forever.

You got my point exactly, this is why I mentioned the colosseum entrance ticket.

The few friends who could afford an AirAsia ticket were annoyed by the high entrance fee that many South East Asian attractions charge to foreigners, regardless of whether you’re from Vietnam or Iceland.

When the price difference is preposterous I skip the attraction altogether as a matter of principle. The Yogyakarta attractions you mentioned are the perfect example with the 25 USD entrance fee for Prambanan vs 5 USD for locals.

Wait till you hear about Egypt.

Prices in Italy are balanced and not even that bad. The ticket to the colosseum is 16€ and includes the entire park nearby. 16€ for the main attraction in one of the most visited countries in the world is pretty reasonable.

One must note * across Europe. No bullfighting in Italy.

I'm surprised AngularJS is on there but React isn't.

That’s still an awful lot of miles to travel for that. If I remember correctly Subway has the most locations so probably you can get better food by driving less.

That makes me think: How did they cover 2000 miles without anyone around? Did they carry enough gas for the whole trip or there actually is something along the way?

I feel the same for the browser environment. Other than a few new “exciting” APIs and canvas, developing for the browser is essentially still the same deal.

I’m tired of hacking documents into apps. I want the web to be split into Markdown-like web (i.e. pure content and some meta) and actual web apps that work like native apps.

I want Accept: application/web

I would assume Google isn’t just gonna try to start needless fights with Facebook’s lawyers, so it’s likely legal.

I don’t see why this is controversial. Video is content. Google has always shown content from other sites and sometimes it’ll embed a whole YouTube player. If anything, it’s good that they feature content from not-YouTube.

The “quality” of TikTok videos is not really important here because one might actually look for them.

To move file around I use CopyWebpackPlugin or whatever other CLI tool called from npm scripts.

The promises of gulp (streams) fell short pretty quickly and we were just left with verbose spaghetti code that was no better than just a bash script. I went into gulp head first and honestly I’m glad that Webpack can deal with most of what I did back then, especially when paired with other reasonable CLI tools.

Codogno, the original Italian hotspot, has no airport. How do you explain that? The virus can travel without direct flights and, because you’re not infectious for a few days, you can meet plenty of people in the meanwhile without infecting them.

Because they think they’re saving people from vaccines. The irony

I don’t know for sure, but from what I read the cost per dose is under USD 40 since a lot of governments already invested billions into their research. If they asked 10k per vial after all of that money it’d be a huge slap in the face.
