I’ve seen the bread in most Asian countries. You get what you pay for. Only premium bread may be worth it, and still not on pair with cheap basic European bread.

> Spotlight is a really good search tool

I loved Spotlight until I had to check out several project to my computer. Now with thousands of non-own files it’s really hard to find what I want. Even if I look for my own projects, Spotlight shows the same project as it appears in several node_modules as a dependency. Find out the right one means I have to hold alt on each item. Ludicrous.

I was expecting a rant about the Finder, found one on window management (which has infinite solutions).

Other than the spacebar and column view, the Finder is a toy compared to File Explorer.exe and I’ll never forgive Apple for it. 20 years of staleness.

That’s true, you have to be aware of the email address you used in every service instead of blindly entering your email address.

But you can also deactivate the email address and be done with it.

Because it’s a potential pain.

I just used Hide my email for a non-critical but real-life situation. I had to learn my new email address and I’ll have to remember it forever. I’ll probably change it back to my regular address at some point.

Low-quality spam veeery rarely makes it to my inbox, but “opt-out newsletters after signup” are basically how every business operates nowadays. And that’s spam as far as I’m concerned.

Dots are useful to create new accounts on the same site, but you can’t use it to just tell websites apart (because there’s no label)

This is basically it. Legally it’s all immigrants, but colloquially “immigrants” are people looking for a better (richer) life while “expats” are in a place because they like it, not because their life conditions would be poorer at home.

I grew up an immigrant to Switzerland, now I’m an expat in South East Asia.

Prices are so flexible I usually find a hotel and then Google it to find a better price, even if I end up on the same site. The worst thing is when they advertise a price without taxes, which unfortunately is not illegal in most of the world. I think in Europe you’re required to show the final price.

> what happens if folks start selling the ‘edit’

You’re onto something. I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen if edits are not limited. We already see “wow this went viral, here’s a link to my album”

It’s not the responsibility, but if you read their post it’s obviously their concern.

Sorry Guillermo but you’re not being truthful here. “$ now” worked on any node server, not just static content, it would just run “npm start”. Now v2+ instead requires a handler-based approach.

But Twitter doesn’t want to be just another webpage. Tweets and its dates are used in court and by historians. That’s basically why Twitter has been hesitant to allow edits.

I kinda wish they let people add some text instead of allowing editing, like:

    Wouldnt it be nice?

    Added: * wouldn’t
I know deletions are still allowed, but they don’t lead to different content.
