<p>Presumably you could trigger one of those onbeforeunload confirmation dialogs in that case.<p>I assume you would also have some sort of icon that indicates all of the changes you made have been synced (or the opposite, an icon for when they haven't yet).<p>Though of course, it doesn't help if the user outright kills the app or pulls the plug or whatever. But I think in that case they should expect to lose some data?</p>

<p>I don't like the app either, but it's not too hard to transfer the files directly to the phone over WiFi without using any of the cloud/editing things.<p>What's annoying is you have to do it in three steps: first transfer it to the app's internal storage, and then save it out to actual files, then delete the internal storage; and you need 2x the disk space.<p>(Another annoying thing is in some countries they just disable the 5 GHz WiFi, so transfers end up taking forever. Very annoying when traveling, and if I lived in one of those countries I would have definitely returned it)</p>

<p>It might sometimes prefetch the surrounding lines as well, but ultimately cache space is limited, so there is a trade-off. Every time you fill a line, you are throwing away something else that was cached there previously, which you may need again in the near future.</p>

<p>I guess that's Rosetta 2, and TFA is referring to Rosetta 1.<p>But don't worry, Rosetta 2 is also on the chopping block:<p>> Rosetta was designed to make the transition to Apple silicon easier, and we plan to make it available for the next two major macOS releases – through macOS 27 – as a general-purpose tool for Intel apps to help developers complete the migration of their apps. Beyond this timeframe, we will keep a subset of Rosetta functionality aimed at supporting older unmaintained gaming titles, that rely on Intel-based frameworks.<p><a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/about-the-rosetta-translation-environment/" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/abou...</a></p>

<p>> It's incredible that about 80% of people in this thread seem to be commenting without having looked at the website.<p>In defence of the 80%, there is no indication in any section other than the About page that it is not real money (with the possible exception of the suspiciously high sums of money), and most commercial services have fairly useless About pages. The HN headline presents it as if it's real.<p>A far cry from GP's implication that "inadvertently click[ing] on the website" is sufficient to see this.</p>

<p>Perhaps it's because in all but the simplest cases, you need 2 or more concatenations to achieve the same result as one single f-string?<p><pre><code>  "literal1 " + str(expression) + " literal2"
</code></pre>
vs<p><pre><code>  f"literal1 {expression} literal2"
</code></pre>
The only case that would be faster is something like: "foo" + str(expression)</p>

<p>The answer is linked to by the section of the article you quoted:<p>> (1) If you statically link against an LGPLed library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.<p>And also answered directly in the section you quoted:<p>> as long as you provide the object files and allow users to relink your app with a different version of Qt</p>

<p>I'm not a Go player so I don't really know how it works in practice, but what you are saying seems to disagree with the wording in Wikipedia, so I'm curious which one is correct?<p>You say:<p>> if you forget that a particular board layout may have come up in the past, go players will not note that you've messed up the game. It doesn't matter. The ko rule isn't there to stop you from repeating a board twice.<p>Wikipedia says:<p>> Rule 8. A play is illegal if it would have the effect (after all steps of the play have been completed) of creating a position that has occurred previously in the game.<p>> Consequence (ko rule). One may not play in such a way as to recreate the board position following one's previous move.<p>> While its purpose is similar to that of the threefold repetition rule of Western chess, it differs from it significantly in nature; the superko rule bans moves that would cause repetition, whereas Western chess allows such moves as one method of forcing a draw.<p>To me that sounds like you do need to track this, in both chess and in Go, though for different reasons (to force a draw vs to prevent an illegal move). Is this not enforced in practice?</p>

<p>I think you may be mixing up profiles and containers.<p>Profiles do have a built-in UI at about:profiles or by launching Firefox with -P, neither of which requires an extension. Admittedly this UI is a bit basic, but a better version is being rolled out (<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management</a>). Running multiple profiles side by side does indeed involve running multiple instances of the browser.<p>Containers are an internal API and need an extension like Multi-account Containers to provide a GUI (though this is an official extension by Mozilla), however they don't require running multiple copies of the browser.</p>
