You can't do without either of them, but one can hide flaws in the other

I was listening to a podcast the other day and something caught my hear: the difference between a VP and a C-level is that the C stands for confidence.

How’s it any relevant?

> in film, you start with the best and make your way down to the worst

only if you take imdb top films ranking...

take a tour through Kurosawa or other Japanese masters, get deep into korean cinema, lose yourself in the Italian masterpieces, and jump into French movies as soon as you can. You'll get challenged, immersed, and amazed again!

You'll see that you really start at the bottom and move upwards

Criterion and similar alternative streaming platforms sound like where you should be spending your time, instead of amazon prime ;)

But then again, from that report, most are fossil fuel producing companies. So one would imagine that less fossil fuel demand would reduce the impact of those companies and have an even more important effect on CO2 emissions

Quick answer: no.

Unless there's a unified effort between major browsers to bring support for a new language we'll have to use js. And that seems highly unlikely (see dart for instance). However, you now have languages that compile to js, that start to satisfy most developer needs, as well as the sketchy evolution of js.

You can't fight negativity with negativity. Let the good and positive boil to the top.

Anyway, that would certainly not save twitter. They seem to be lacking better management and focus on their core product.

I found the same about YT history. None of the videos that I view on the laptop are shown in the history, only videos viewed on mobile.

I think it's because I block ip addresses, that track your data, on the laptop.

And I'd add to that: in the USA (with a bit of extrapolation).

Sharp had a similar phone. Samsung had the Edge, which is near bezel-less from the sides. And those are not concept phones, at least the edge is not.

Sarcastically, the success of these phones are dictated by how reliably they can be used, not by the size of their bezel.

The competition may not come directly from technology companies, but from car companies. Tesla might be one of them.

Downgrading is always hard. Even minor differences in speed/fluidity will seem much more accentuated.

If they're not using regex, they can't be affected by it anyways

I've been using it lately for my thesis. Good job!

Two things very wrong with the landing page: the horrendous parallax effect and the "Go" instead of Gb.

Besides whamlastxmas point, the danger that I see is also tied to copyright infringement.

Imgur and other small sites, mostly because they don't have much profit, don't suffer a lot from copyright takedowns. I think reddit won't have the same treatment, and Imgur will still be a viable long-term solution.
