Problem with the markdown approach the text will become rapidly ugly with hacks, non-standard annotations to enable same features as HTML.

I'm very curious. I hated how html requires angled brackets for everything and love markdown for its neatness.

What are some of the ugly hacks you've seen that were applied?


Image width.

Yeah I can see that being a source of annoyance for situations like yours. However, I welcome it from a privacy perspective. The indicator alerts the user if some nefarious application covertly enables the microphone.

Yeah, I fully understand why it's there — and also why it's not optional — but I hate that it's not optional.

> If you have to explain it, there is zero chance of massive adoption.

Here's the thing, one should not need to explain it no mire. Devices or applications accessing content with an RSS option should present it to the end user through a convenient interface.


Season 1 was great. 2 is meh. 3 is probably the last one I'll watch, as I'm losing interest. The Joe MacMillan dude basically carries the show.


>Those companies will then destroy those clothes, reporting them as sold to consumers.

I think those companies might just actually sell them, and report to the company is being destroyed.


>Native app development is an evil necessity.

I wish people did more native app development.


Same, I did try to sell native app development to my current project, but some higher up had already decided on React Native at the time.

And I get it, it feels like native app development is a more expensive specialism, and this particular use case is mostly the customer portal but in an app. But I retain the strong opinion that if you as a company are serious about app development, if you want a good app, you need native apps and native app developers.

Especially if you want to be present outside of the confines of your app - widgets, lock screen activities, smart watches, etc all require proper native components, because they come with very tight memory constraints and just loading in React Native and its JS stuff costs you 80% of available memory budget.


Yes, the casual references to "well there are native parts 'sprinkled in'" sound like a PITA.


Dudes must be really bored there


These machines don't really detect what kind of materials stuff is composed of, much of that is just a crude classification based on density. True identification requires broadband x-rays emission with spectral analysis.


Water, not water is all you need.


What if I told you, there is an app on the market https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwCK95X6go


Shampoo? Hand cream? Marinara?


>It's about making people feel safe.

It adds stress. I fondly remember flying in the 80s vs today. Travelling back then was more chill.


Just a lot more people are flying today. Better information flows about flights help to some degree but more planes that are more packed are on the other side of the ledger.


lol I did this with my mates. Get one of those 1 kV ceramics, give it some charge and bob's your uncle, you have one angry capacitor.


This can be deadly :/ just wow


Many fun things can be.
