Correct. Some extensions still offer tools via the share dropdown though. This extension could add a “Open without AMP” option in there.

I hate it as much as everyone else, but last time I stripped AMP I got a useless paywalled adridden website so I ended up just sharing the AMP URL

The point here is that this can be used on iPhone, so there was not already something there.

Apollo is the answer. Reddit’s properties are a dumpster fire. Heck even the desktop version regularly starts playing some random video I scrolled past a minute ago… good luck finding it. Absolutely embarrassing “bugs” everywhere on Reddit, even before getting to the dark patterns.

I happen to use both bing and DDG occasionally and the results are plain bad so I end up using Google anyway.

I should try the opposite though: when Google SERP is useless, try others.

In my father’s hands, the iPhone shoots better photos than his Sony A6000, so it depends on how entry level we go.

> In developing this interpreter they eliminated some of the languages features to make it simpler.

That means you can't run general-purpose code safely, which means you should probably write/rewrite/adapt it, which means you might as well use a different language.

I'm a JS developer, but the parent might have a point here. Why run something like this in production when you're likely to end up in unexpected situations? Either a runtime is compliant, or you're going to have a bad time.

The project is cool, but I wouldn't use it as an example for what JS can do.

Not to mention the inefficiency.

You’re right, my estimate for a short surgery in a private Thai hospital last Monday was “10k/11k THB excluding fees.” I walked out of the hospital 2 hours later having paid 9.1k THB (270 USD) painkillers included.

Estimates are fine, it’s just that they don’t benefit US hospitals. Stop justifying them, they’re scamming you.

By law the hotel has to register your arrival online, as a foreigner.

Obviously this is easily skirted by having another person do the check in and you arriving later. I've also stayed in some guest houses in Thailand last month and they did not register me, but that doesn't mean they should have done so.

If they don't, technically you're on the hook for not registering.

Wow, that is amazing. The picture dictionary is incredibly useful when learning a language and it's the first time I see it, in a general-purpose tool too!

When learning a language I have to keep a dictionary, Google Translate, and Google Images open at the same time, and it's frustrating to find that neither language tool includes direct access to the other 2.

I just tried it, it messes up* on the last page so you have to find where you where again.

* If the last page should only be one paragraph, the browser might not be able scroll down enough to only include only that paragraph.

This is like the comment “Who needs the iPhone 13’s faster CPU” I read yesterday on a random forum, except you’re on HN and you should probably know better.

The reason is simple: IPv4 addresses are getting more rare and therefore more costly.

I don’t know why you would say that.

Excel is democratizing tool for programming. It’s a true WYSIWYG for databases, calculations, plotting, and more. And it’s just a regular app that every PC has.

Everyone needs a table. Hey did you know your table can do math automatically? It actually can fetch live forex data too. And infinitely more.
