During my time in London I used similar tricks (looking for the sun or finding the BT tower by looking for some window reflections) to find my way after leaving the tube, but then I was taking a vacation in Rio de Janeiro and when I was wal

Yeah, in some situations those oldschool tools are just much more capable than their modern counterparts. Never had any filesize problems with sed and dd :D

And I thought 'security' itself is friction ;-) No seriously, I was wondering if that tool has a CLI interface? Might make it more accessable for some devs.

I use Nextcloud since a few years and I am very happy with it (especially with the desktop integrations, e.g. KDE/Dolphin). I even use the Nextcloud WebDav server as a backend to store and sync data for my own Progressive Web App :D Th

That blog post is mostly just about the apps. Sadly we still have a lot Google services in use afterwards, like e.g. the optional location service which speeds up the GPS positioning, but those parts are much harder to replace :-/ Some

Very unlikely. Github is working on this since months/years [1] and it is much more likely they had to wait for wildcard support by let's encrypt plus a few weeks testing. Googles announcement is much more along the lines of Progr

Go is mostly an answer to the problems of C. Sadly Go is not able to replace C as the introduction of the Garbage Collection makes it unsuiteable for many use cases of C. Besides that, Go has solved a lot of issues you had with C and as a r

I hope they will release a new version soon, including the fixes for the wifi connection. With the 1.1 version the wifi connection still fails for me. Nevertheless, quite a nice move by genymotion to open source scrcpy :-)

Actually, I use my smartphone since a while with a focus on usability (only top 5 apps on the home screen). So no annoying, attention catching, tracking, adware apps. Just pure focus on what I need: - Adaway (Adblocker; just in case) - Addr

Well, nobody wants a misaligned investor. But I had the impression the negotiations already failed, because one buzzword could not be satisfied. My comment was meant more as advice to overcome such problematic situations during negotiations

That is just how larger corporations work. They probably decided they wanted to be part of that future market about AI and therefore want to invest in AI/ML startups. Someone sold your company internally as being a nice fit for the AI

For me, the issue seems to be fixed.

Well, as far as I remember that doesn't include the assets, so to play the actual game you still need the asset files. Nevertheless, I appreciated the open source release very much back in 2005, as it allowed you to learn C programming

Their architectures differ a lot and nowadays you can use XMPP with HTTP via BOSH. I think a fair comparison is the one in the Matrix FAQ: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-differen... Disclaimer

Completely agree. Recently I have been in contact with the topic of eMMC deaths [1] in Samsung S3 phones and I have to say I am very pissed of by the arrogance of large corporations like Samsung (I have no evidence, but I am confident that

Similar to @s_kilk I tried ember years ago and while I liked some of their concepts, the hard learning curve and the oversized results made me search alternatives. Anybody knows what size (js bundle file size) a basic PWA in ember.js has no

You might wanna try DuckDuckGo ;-) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=FAANG Their search results aren't always better, but sometimes you might find some surprising features (e.g. direct StackOverflow results).

Thanks for the link. From what we can see now it got a lot of Google integration. Too much for my taste.

While I find the graphs not very intuitive to read, they hold great information once you understand how to read them :-)

I didn't mean to offend you, in fact, I am trying to consume less 'news' myself since a few years. And while I agree that the HN comments hold a lot of high quality information, I see that HN, in general, has a similar effect

I still like the Chrome DevTools a bit better, but always switching the browsers sucks too, so I try to learn using the FF tools. And for example the CSS grid tools are something I haven't seen in chrome yet and they work very well in

Not bad, but as I recently switched to FF as my primary browser, such posts would be more useful to me if they were written for the Firefox DevTools ;-)

I don't know about Pharo, but I have seen very few IDEs which make it as easy as Smalltalk environments (e.g. VisualWorks) to do what you asked for as they provide you with GUI a for all that stuff. Pharo is probably no different. I th
