TechCrunch says a fix is out: https://techcrunch.com/2019/11/07/ios-13-2-2-fixes-bug-that-... It’s dismaying how much Apple have taken their eyes off the ball when it comes to software quality. They used to h

Which makes it a valid reference for bash.

I hope the people using photos of Greta to shame people into not using plastic utensils have provided an alternative.

Exactly this. Facebook will definitely move forward with some kind of payment system. Libra would have been fantastic for them if it had worked out but it was never their only option. They won't give up on Libra yet though.

Second this. I've found IntelliJ to be much faster on large codebases.

I like to hate on Facebook as much as anyone but there's a fairly obvious explanation for this situation: of the 100 or so organisations that initially expressed interest, the 27 organisations that have so far formally joined are more

Thanks. As a vim user I’ve been assuming the new macbook pros are a non-starter.

I totally get what you're saying. For x86-64 I recommend Ray Seyfarth's book: http://rayseyfarth.com/asm/ But I can't help suggesting you try TIS-100. It's genuinely enjoyable and not like regular a

Note that this violates the macOS licensing conditions unless you're running on Apple hardware.

Honest question asked in good faith: Are you a developer? What's it like not having an escape key or function keys?

If you've not heard of TIS-100 then, given that you're currently on a site called "Hacker News", I heartily recommend it to you: http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/ Also excellent is Shenzhen IO: h

In a sense, this function isn't that interesting; It's just a way of encoding the prime numbers into a real number. However, one interesting aspect is how efficiently this particular function works for the prime numbers. The funct

Would you mind providing a little more detail of your reasoning? For example, say that someone shows that the most efficient algorithm for computing the value (0 or 1) of the central column of the nth row of rule 30 starting with a single 1

"due to some unspecified magic your network performance will increase" In this post, they say that routing over cloudflare's network can be up to 30% faster because they maintain more efficient routing information than the pu

On the face of it, if someone told me a series converged on a small value like -0.4, I wouldn't expect to encounter 43 million along the way. It's easy to dismiss things as uninteresting but HN is a forum for nerds and I'd co

Surprisingly good performance for the C# implementation!

This still happens in Australia too. The primary reason to do it this way is that you don’t need a person standing there all day to sell items. A working farm cannot spare a person full time. I imagine that farms stop the practice when it’s

Well that title made me click on it and now I’ve bookmarked that page in case I ever feel the urge to implement my own crypto using RSA. Or at all for that matter.

But you still haven't said what's dim witted about it.

There is no logical coherence to this statement. Just because there have been proponents of both sides of a debate for many years doesn't mean that a new argument is invalid.

Speaking as a dev who started with Java 1.2, I actually much prefer to write code that doesn’t rely on magic unseen effects. The only exception to this is dependency injection via annotations but for god’s sake use it in moderation. But the

I don’t know what to tell you. Every time I launch CS6 on my Mac it tells me that it won’t run on Catalina. I have no reason to believe that’s not true. I think it’s quite possible that when Adobe says “64-bit” they’re not saying exactly th

Unfortunately for people who never switched to the subscription model, the CS6 updates stopped at 13.0.6. You need 13.1 to launch in 64-bit, which is only available to CC subscription holders. Edit: it seems that at one time it was possible
