What's the correct way to sort a Rubik's Cube state?

I guess, but it seems pretty typical to expect to install a new software or start a new project and require some form of loading/importing content in. It wouldn't exactly destroy the experience or at least the trade-off seems worth it imo

A few people have suggested adding a blacklist for dangerous directories or validating directories are empty first.

Why not just make the API create a new directory rather than selecting one? There's still a risk people create a directory in a shared location - but at least they're only risking the new directory then, right?

Can you add a guest mode that doesn't track my progress and add to leaderboard? I'd like to try it out

Home Wifi Mesh System - https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/deco/deco-x55/

Found my WiFi dropping off walking around my house and swapping to using data. Super frustrating but since installing these I've had perfect signal around my house.

on(), off() seems a bit unintuitive in my opinion. I'd opt for something like .watch(), .ignore()

So currently, users are often redirected to the 3rd party payment service or interact with an embedded form offered by the 3rd party service and the user either has to register/login. Does this mean, in the case of PayPal, users will have to install the PayPal Payment API App on their browsers?

What're the benefits of removing iFrames over using an adblocker like uBlock? Seems like global iFrame genocide would hurt your user experience more. They're not all ads!

Agreed. I often find the extra initial loading time is worth the improved user experience across the rest of the website once the bundles CSS file is cached.

Did the pot you use have holes in the bottom? It looks like you have it just sat on a desk so I'm assuming it's basically just a bucket?

Your moisture problem could just be that you were relying too much on the water evaporating/being absorbed rather than needing to drain out. Gravel at the bottom of a pot with holes in helps water drain really well. Alternatively, without the gravel you could place the pot on a dish, fill the dish and let the water be absorbed from the bottom up.

Is the idea of this to replace adding `console.log("code checkpoint");` in your code for debugging? Sort of a, I know the code managed to get to this point, so the error must be happening here?

I was under the impression that AdBlock Plus started selling whitelist places and that's what user's became outraged over. I may be misremembering though, I only ever scanned post titles

I'd happily display ads on websites that aren't incredibly obnoxious. I think ad-blockers need to have some sort of ad-policy or vetting system in place that when websites conform to them, I as a user get prompted with the option to turn ads on to support the website.

I'd much rather that than essentially have to pay out money to browse online.
