  It's not that uncommon of an acronym in web tech, all the first results when searching "PWA" are consistent.
  Even if they said "Progressive Web Apps" it would not have been immediatelly clear what that means for anyone who is not familiar with what PWA is. It's also not the only acronym they use in the article without explaining it (eg.. API, or iOS)

  Were the earlier series not focused on shared values too?
  Kirk has usually been given the reputation of being a rule-breaker, often ignoring Starfleet rules when they are in conflict with his values.

  But the syntax clearly intends int *p.
  Otherwise you would only need to do int* p, q instead actually being required to type * in front of every variable name when declaring that way: int * p, * t;

  yes... how is reducing exclamation marks a good thing but adding a ' (not to be confused with \``,‘ or ’`)

  git switch

  Oh wow, I didn't know about this one. I guess it's relatively new?

  what's the benefit over using git checkout?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backlash over fake female speakers shuts down developer conference⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  coders revealed to 404 Media that "some of Kirsina’s Instagram posts are word-for-word copies of Sizovs’ LinkedIn posts, sometimes published more than a year later." In addition, "some of the images [Kirsina] posted on Instagram show computer monitors with code that show her logged in under Sizovs’ name." But perhaps most striking is the fact that an administrator told 404 Media that both Sizovs’ and Kirsina’s accounts were banned "multiple times" by the Lobste.rs coding forum for "sockpuppeting"—using a false identity to deceive others—in 2019 and 2020.

  Lol.....
  For reference, this is the twitter account: https://nitter.net/UnicornCoding

  It's full of advertising about the DevTernity conference... as does her instagram..

  be nice

  What niceness level exactly?
  The most nice I can be in my system is -20.. but being too nice to one process leaves others less time and resources to develop.

  Personally, while I appreciate when people add a "snippet of explanation", I do prefer that to be in the comments.

  Making it part of the submission can feel like editorializing.

  This kind of approach encourages people to repost the same content multiple times just so they can post a different view on it in the "text snippet". And I think the comment section is a more suitable place for that, personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A self-hosted wiki that can integrate with a fediverse instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That's why I was hoping they might have added some markdown extension?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A self-hosted wiki that can integrate with a fediverse instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, I'd argue the wikilinks using [[any term here]] style links is more flexible and less verbose than the [text required](/link_here_also_required) from markdown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity apologizes and updates their infamous Runtime Fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Free version is excluded. No charging tiny side projects, or students or something, it only affects already paying customers.

  This was not a change though, it as already the case before in the previous announcement.

  Yes, the way his hand is positioned, it would not have worked if they had wanted to make it hold the wooden stick.

  Earl grey, dry.
