• The many faces of undefined in JavaScript

  Well, well, well... Not so long ago, I joined the opposing camp where everyone was arguing to drop null into the Mountain of Doom. https://medium.com/@hbarcelos/why-i-banned-null-from-my-js-code-and-why-you-should-too-13df90323cfa. - Source: Hacker News / about 15 hours ago

• Julian Assange Is Free

  > The case was withdrawn due to the time it took to get to trial ... Which weakens the oral evidence. The only evidence they had; because there was no DNA found on the condom submitted as evidence. https://medium.com/@njmelzer/demasking-the-torture-of-julian-assange-b252ffdcb768. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• LLMs on the Command Line

  While I agree with the sentiment in general, I've came to the conclusion that what I really want is the flexibility of the natural language interface that LLM's provide, and the return of the correct document.

• Can anyone tell what is this?

  This is not opera.com it's "api2 dot com" so it's a malware site posing as an opera one by including opera in its name. I had a popup like this. It opened every time I opened the browser. Turned out it was coming from a video downloader extension. Source: 12 months ago

• Is there a way to download the official browser through a torrent or a mirror link?

  The opera.com domain is banned where I live but I still want to download the browser without a VPN (because those are also banned). Is there a torrent link or an alternative/mirror link where I can download the latest Opera One release? Thanks! Source: about 1 year ago

• Opera Adblocker pinging opera.com?

It was about the 2nd term, we receive new laptops every couple of years. He first told me about my searches for a VPN, which I guess is on me.

• How big is the chance of getting malware while downloading roms?

  I use uBlock Origin on Chrome but it is available for Opera GX as well. You install it by finding uBlock Origin in addons section of opera.com and then clicking the "Add to Opera" button. Source: about 1 year ago
