Your only option is to export the database from the desktop app and use third party tools like https://github.com/bepaald/signalbackup-tools to decrypt the backup. However in my experience this backup does not include

On the other hand, you will have an absolute pain trying to transfer messages to another device. To move from one android device to another you have to manually make a database backup (hope you didn’t lose your old phone!) and copy it over

Bignum arithmetic actually is pretty simple in Rust if you use the right library. Rug[0] makes using bignums look almost just like using native numbers through operator overloading. [0] https://crates.io/crates/rug

If by 5000 pages you mean 5, you might be correct if you are a really slow reader.

Not everyone has the space for a decent speaker setup. An open back pair of headphones will work anywhere as long as the environment isn't too loud. Another reason could be if you are living in an apartment with neighbors who won'

YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple Music are all streaming services, not places to buy music. However, you can buy digital music from Amazon, the iTunes Store, Bandcamp, and other places that give you DRM free audio files. I personally

At least for me, Matrix has not been a very good experience. It is very bare bones compared to programs like Discord and has been pretty glitchy in my experience with things like mentions not working reliably. My friends and I have instead

Making FFI calls to C is pretty easy and writing the FFI interface definitions can be completely automated with tools like bindgen [0]. Making FFI calls to C++ is a lot harder to do by hand, although cxx[1] is supposed to make doing so a lo

I'm not so sure this is correct. [0] says that Hashlife has logarithmic complexity on average. In the worst case it is O(n) since it could have to look at every element to see a pattern if one even exists [1]. Therefore the worst case

Maybe they could something like what Drastic/Citrus does and have the two 3DS screens share the Switch/TV screen? I would say the main problem is that it has an effective resolution of 400x240 pixels on the top screen and 320x240

I think you are arguing for the same thing your parent comment is? That comment is trying to show that even in the absolute worst case of no efficiency gains and 10,000x increase in data centers the impact that using the oceans to cool them

I think the phrase is fine since according to our best models of galaxy formation these galaxies should not be able to exist and yet they do. As such we don't understand how these galaxies can exist and need to do more research to come

Lego sets intended for younger children tend to have more large, single purpose pieces. For example, [0] is a set intended for children as young as 4 and it has the single purpose car chassis pieces you mentioned. However, in the same City

To expand on this, if you use CLion as your Rust IDE it will actually show you the types for all your variables automatically. For example, if you had a line like this: let foo = vec![1, 2, 3]; CLion would then show the type in a f

I'm not sure when you looked at Bitwarden but the official server and clients are open source under the AGPL, including the API for other people to make their own servers and clients with. So I would say that Bitwarden fills the FOSS a

iPad OS does have mouse support actually. I'm really not sure why they haven't made it possible to develop on iPads yet, I know I would get a 13 inch iPad Pro in a heartbeat if I could develop on it and sideload apps onto it. htt

Although it won't be as concise, you can use guards to emulate this feature with match data: case [x1, x2] if x1 == x2: ... I agree on this being a fantastic addition to the language. I've sorely misse

The nice thing about Rust is you often don’t have to declare the type of a variable since the compiler will just infer it for you. This is especially nice in an IDE like CLion which will show you the inferred type for each variable. As for

On Macs you have to have at least a quadcore CPU or it doesn't show the option, Zoom may do the same thing on Linux.

Wouldn’t that be blocked by Wikipedia’s source requirements? Presumably no trustworthy source will say that drinking diluted bleach is good for you so there won’t be any sources to make a Wikipedia article out of.

Since I got into programming with Scratch, every time I see it capitalized in a HN title I get my hopes up that someone made something really cool in it. Alas, it never happens.
