You don't need a credit card to create a US Apple account, and you don't need a VPN either. I don't live in China, I live in Europe, but I have a US account because everything is better about Apple US accounts. You can use it

Mind to expand about SemVer?

Yeah, it's just the import path that it's changed, but it's still ugly as sin and makes the mapping between import paths and filesystem paths non-trivial.

This is about software (source code) versioning. Shared library symbol versioning is a completely orthogonal concept.

OpenZFS can't be relicensed as GPL since FreeBSD won't be able to use it. Perhaps it could be dual-licensed, not sure, but that would be bad for FreeBSD as well. If it would be integrated into the mainline Linux kernel, I don&#x27

Careful with this, you might be doing more than just flexing your tensor tympani muscle, you might also control the pressure inside your ear. I can do both of these. The latter is rather dangerous in the long term, although in the short te

Are you kidding me, you can't even click on hyperlinks in that "desktop" app. You have to copy-paste them manually in your browser. Edit: It seems the links do open, but they open silently in one of my minimized browser Windo

Since October 30 2016, Hangouts is unusable on me on Safari. I always use the pop-up feature in order to get individual chat windows that are real operating system windows, rather that the javascript windows in Gmail. Since that date, it

Nothing significant was missing. For some reason the press relayed the news as "Windows NT and a small portion of Windows 2k source code were leaked". This was false, possibly started my Microsoft itself to downplay the scope of t

Metal detectors?? At shows?? Luckily I have never seen such a thing in Europe, but undoubtedly we will copy the US in a few years. I can't believe how much we've degenerated.

I'm a little bit confused about these applications' security model. Normally I'd want whatever secrets are kept by these apps never to leak in the iCloud backups (secure enclave storage? I don't know). Do they do this or

From the readme: > Secure: All data is stored in encrypted form on the iOS keychain I suppose this means it's using the secure enclave behind the scenes? Is the encrypted data (encrypted with what key?) part of the device iCloud bac

Does it use the secure enclave? Probably not, as it boasts iCloud sync.

Depends on the flight, but I usually use a travel agent. If it's a simple flight, I might use some airline website to book it, but most often for me it's some thing that you can't book at all on the airlines I use. I fly into

I think they want to shutdown the matrix[1]. They already discontinued the matrix smartphone app a year back. I will be truly lost (quite literally) once matrix is unavailable. I plan out very complex trips and only the matrix can do it. [1

Of course you can trivially run your own key server and your own upspin universe. But then of course, you can't talk with other people. The problem with upspin is that there's a SPOC keyserver, not that there's a single names

Still better than USB-A. Usually I can rotate them until they fit. USB-A, not so much.
