<p>The most difficult thing is to break the ice.<p>Once this is done, everything feels easy. The trick is to have a rough idea of what you'll say and just take the plunge. And practice.<p>We all fear rejection. Once you get past that fear, you realise most people are reasonable human beings just like you.<p>If you're curious about the topic, I recommend the book Rejection Proof, by Jia Jiang.</p>

<p>I remember asking you for this, so Thank you so much! 
It works quite well from what I can see.<p>Small UI issue: on Desktop, the left sidebar should be scrollable, because now on Firefox I can't reach the "Language" menu item in the search results view, unless I zoom-out.</p>

<p>> there's this trend of purego implementations which usually aim towards zero dependencies besides the stdlib and golang.org/x.<p>I'm interested in knowing whether there's something intrinsic to Go that encourages such a culture.<p>IMO, it might be due to the fact that Go mod came rather late in the game, while NPM was introduced near the beginning of NodeJS. But it might be more related to Go's target audience being more low-level, where such tools are less ubiquitous?</p>

<p>What's wrong about filtering before saving, is that if you forget about one rule, you have to go back and re-filter already-saved data in the db (with some one-off script).<p>I think "normally" we should instead filter for XSS injections when we generate the DOM tree, or just before (such as passing backend data to the frontend, if that makes more sense).</p>

<p>I used to feel the same before having a kid.<p>Nowadays, the scope of what I can care about is drastically reduced. 
But one area where I don't allow care to be dissolved (apart from my family) is the work I do.<p>I had to leave a job where co-workers wouldn't care and it was about to influence my own level of care by the end.</p>

<p>I see this pattern coming where we're still able to say:<p>"It's not AGI - it's X, driven by Y-driven heuristics",<p>but that's going to effectively be an AGI if given enough compute/time/data.<p>Being able to describe the theory of how it's doing its thing sure is reassuring though.</p>

<p>Good point. 
But is there an oligopoly in the Canadian real estate market though?<p>I assume the premise of Project Hammer is that transparency applied on the food industry would underline some collusion and invite for a debate on whether there's some legislation to apply against such an oligopoly.</p>

<p>This is a nice UX experiment. What I'd like to see though, is the ability to choose whether the link opens in the current tile, or open on the right.<p>IMO, this behavior should be the default on Web browsers when middle-clicking a link.<p>Especially since people tend to have wide screens and websites don't always constrain text narrowly enough to make it readable.</p>
