My village's name is خنشارة - written in latin as Khenchara. There's precedent for this for kh, so it carries easily to gh as well.

My last name starts with a ق and in latin it's written with a K.

The tools were just to provide a way to write letters that do not have a corresponding letter in latin alphabet, it's not a way to provide all the nuances of pronunciation.

I still maintain to this day that the original usable numbers were 2, 3, and 7.

All that 5 and 6 and 9 crap is useless and those letter were and could be done with normal latin letters:

5 already has kh, 6 already has t, 9 already has d, don't know what people used for غ but you can write it with gh

How exactly do you find clients as a consultant? I'm facing a similar issue now, and the networks I used to rely on for clients have all gone downhill recently.

First part of your story reminded me of when I once trolled a non-tech savvy friend by running Windows in a VM on Linux, and told him "have you ever seen what's behind windows?" then I exited full screen to reveal a desktop full of terminals running the matrix digital rain.

It was fairly easy to communicate between frames with JavaScript, so before this was widely adopted, I remember the way we used to “fetch” new data was with an iframe that always had a meta refresh tag in it, and the server response would include JavaScript that would call into functions from the main window passing along any data that was needed.

I might be wrong, but I think even early versions of Gmail did something similar.

We’ve come almost full circle. I remember using this approach back in 2005 or 2006 by intercepting clicks and appending a parameter that just returned rendered html partials that just .innerHTML replace the main contents.

13 years and counting. But I’m sure I’ll eventually clean mine up

I'm not sure where you got that info from, but unless you completely tank everything, there isn't an automatic disqualification. Even if you fail two out of three questions, you'll still get a chance to meet with the screener.

If you’re on a Mac, in safari you can just right click on the QR code and set it up in keychain, then you can just auto fill from safari, no need for a third party app.
