Back in the day, access to the Internet was very expensive in my locality. We only had mobile data with max 20GB per month, and after that - 7KB/s unlimited for ~20% of average local salary. Having no job, it was very hard to pay that amount for the Internet, so I came up with a solution. I have set up a cloud server for 10$/month, got couple of SIM cards with that internet plan, and started developing a Linux tunnel program, which would join bandwidth of multiple interfaces into one by directing packets to my server. The server then forwards the packets further. I hadn't used it for long but it was very fun and satisfying to do it.

Here is the greatest inconvenience of Python exceptions for me. Say you have to try 10 different methods, and you only need one to work. Then you have to write 10 try...except blocks so that each next block is indented relative to previous. This creates unreadable code and does not scale for say 100 methods. The solution that came to mind is labeling try blocks and referring them in except blocks. For example:

  try as method1:
      method1()
  except@method1 try as method2:
      method2()
  except@method2 try as method3:
      method3()
  except@method3:
      raise NoMethodWorked()

Fingerprint scan and Facial recognition can not replace password authentication because both face and fingerprint are public information, while password is meant to be private. You cannot hide your face or fingerprint from others.

I am very sceptical about using eagles to stop drones. Eagles are more expensive to train and maintain, and they die.

The only viable solution against harmful drones are drones themselves.

Adding style through JS is a workaround (pretty inconvenient one). It's not a feature.

TamperMonkey is more advanced in terms of scripting but it lacks custom CSS and pattern matching for hostnames.

I have always been skeptical about Shadow DOM. It tries to solve different problems under one solution.

Say you want a static page without scripts but with CSS encapsulation. You cannot achieve that. Instead you have to use Shadow DOM and get it in package with other unneeded things.

CSS encapsulation could be solved with special attribute, new HTML tag or even with new CSS rule, and it would have been more flexible than Shadow DOM is.

While India has to sacrifice arable land that can be used in a lot of different ways to build a solar plant, Morocco has only gains from such projects.
