Can you please detect I'm using Firefox, and not show the "Download Firefox" banner on top? I'll be able to save a few pixels of vertical space.

Q. Would you mind sharing your Emacs configuration files?

Richard Stallman: Configuration files are personal and will not be shared.

This cracked me up! xD

India has had vegetarian burgers for years, in fact, most people order these veg burgers because they don't eat meat ( culture / religion ). Ive never eaten meat, but I really love burgers.

Thanks for your response. I've brought this up for discussion on our community server and we will try to find ways to make our UI more intuitive.

Also, that's just the server project. There are also clients like the mobile app and the terminal app, which have a whole new set of active contributors.

Can you share what you did not like about the app? I would love to know what the users don't like so we can work on those areas.

Apart from a user, I am also a contributor to the Zulip project, for the last ~7 months.

The community is very helpful and for getting started with open source development, I can't recommend a better place. You get really high quality code reviews, get to participate in meaningful discussions on features and the development goals of the project, and developers constantly share lots of knowledge in streams like #learning about software development, tech, git, best practices and so on.

Also, the documentation is very detailed and the codebase is very high quality. It's really easy to get started.

You can find the github org here: https://github.com/zulip

Solving problems during contests is a battle against time. You cant waste time compiling and checking if your solution is correct, and incorrect solutions have penalties.

This extension solves that problem.

It's an iFrame hosted on Google servers, so medium does not directly have access to the iFrame contents. But it is still irritating.

I'd love your feedback on this.
In fact,from Qt 5.15 onwards the offline installer is provided only for commercial license holders.

Say goodbye to: - Installing on multiple PCs at once - Installing on PCs without internet connections.

It's also possible that the online installer collects telemetry data.

Can someone please explain to me what this code does? I know some C, but I couldn't understand this.

Zulip (https://zulip.com/) has been doing this for a long time.
