Many churches have professionally trained counsellors. No, they wouldn't tell you to "pray the cancer away" (though there are prosperity-"gospel" preaching churches that would say "donate to make the cancer go away"–beware), but they would counsel you from a biblical perspective, which is extremely helpful. And they would also tell you to seek professional help elsewhere if you need it and they couldn't provide it.

Check out Helium. I switched from Brave to try it out and works pretty great. Just no Widevine support (though possible on Linux).

Do you have a link that talks about Proton Mail's use of UniFFI-rs? A quick search didn't turn up anything.

It's flat as in flat rate, similar to fixed rate, meaning a set cost per month, instead of pay-as-you-go. Hope that helps.

It's flat if you graph your spend over multiple months :)

I'll break the combo here; another punny comment would only subtract from this already perfect thread.

Same. I'm confused by this. Maybe they are changing (decreasing?) what's included in the free tier and rebranding. Will look into it.

If you scroll down to the image carousel/gallery and click on an image, it directs you to a page where you can download a high-res jpeg (~100mb for the ultraviolet one).

Just tried it. Unfortunately, even when you choose "Run Immediately", it still asks for user input when the time comes ("Are you sure you want to restart this iPhone?")

An advantage of dataclasses over dicts is that you can add methods and properties.

Also you can easily convert a dataclass to a dict with dataclasses.asdict. Not so easy to go from dict to dataclass though

Preprocessor of sorts. From the readme:

The goals for Pretty C are:

- Provide so much syntactic sugar as to cause any C developer a diabetes-induced heart attack.

- Deprecate Lua, Python, JavaScript, Ruby and a dozen other languages, because Pretty C is the ultimate scripting language, but lightning-fast and strongly typed!

- Including only one header (yes, Pretty C is a header-only library #include-able from arbitrary C file!) to turn any codebase into a beginner friendly one.

It's completely controlled by the parents: who they can communicate with, etc. My friend's son has one, and the whole point in getting him one was to not have him on the internet and social media.

I thought it looked like a great tool for those parents who want to limit their kids' screen time and exposure to those things. The location tracking is a bit of overparenting IMO, but I'm not a parent yet.
