Code quality is directly related to how easy it is to modify without creating bugs which customers absolutely DO care about. I've read about an EMR product that was such spaghetti code every bug fix was likely to create 2 new bugs. I suspect this is a major reason Siri has not had any major new features in forever.

Why would you use takeout to download Google Drive contents when syncing to your local computer is its entire purpose?

Because the Google drive desktop app crashes as well :)

I wish I could stay focused on a project that long.

Reminds me a bit of a guy who created a functional virtual camera in Blender with lenses and film layers.

Part of Greg Egan novel Diaspora takes place in a universe with 5 spatial dimensions.

Stephen Wolfram corresponded with Douglas Lenat but Lenat never gave Wolfram access to his Cyc software because he seemed to be very insecure about it.

The book is very good and the movie is pretty faithful to the book. They did an amazingly good job of making Rocky into a real character.

Firefox + uBlock Origin is the only way the modern web is still usable.

I run into this problem when using Firefox + uBlock Origin. The solution is spoofing the user agent in this case.

I think the poster is referencing that uBlock Origin does not work with browsers other than Firefox. And that while some sites work poorly (deliberately deprecating Firefox), other sites work very poorly (without uBlock Origin). Presumably spoofing user agents works for now but has its limits.

What!? This thread is about "unsupported browser(s)", not anything that uBlock Origin fixes.

For what it's worth. I agree with OP which is why Firefox with uBlock Origin is my primary browser.
