   It’s $5 for the app, which the website fails to mention.

   That’s still the fault of the package developer. “^1.2.1” means “any version with a public API compatible with 1.2.1”, or in other words “only minor versions”. The whole point of semantic versioning is to guarantee breaking changes are expr

   I think the NSA was rather asking him if there was a backdoor. A phone call will always be cheaper and faster than bruteforcing [current decade] cryptography.

   I don’t either, but thankfully it’s not forced syntax. If you prefer “print x” to “print(x)” you’re OOL in 3.x.

   I couldn’t care less about support for libraries and builtins. If my boss came up to me and said “Hey, I think we should use this Python 3.x library”, my response would be “Great, let’s use Python 3”. That said, I understand there are certa

   A couple points: 1. It advertises itself as a gaming service, not a 9-5+overtime service. Granted, some people do game for >8 hours per day, but those people probably own their own hardware. Which leads into... 2. Many people used cloud

   I've never noticed the "quadratic" build time increase you mention, so I did a test[0]. Files in size from 1mb to 50mb, 3 trials each. These are the results, and they look absolutely linear[1]. [0]: https://paste

    I just bought a few lighting-to-3.5mm adapters and leave them permanently affixed to my various headphones. Seems like a simple fix, versus perpetually being upset that I can't use my headphones on my iPhone.

    It always has been for the SE. If you want the luxury of choice and are willing to pay more than $399, Apple has many options for you to choose from.

    Khan Academy is the “local school” right now. Many classrooms are completely unprepared for remote teaching, and Khan Academy is providing relief to the millions of students and teachers having a hard time.

    Not a great experience with this one. I typed "Toronto" into the location, and the results were: 1-3: Toronto, ON 4-7: Pittsburgh, PA 8-11: null, Ohio 12-25: Toronto, ON I also clicked to half a dozen positions and all but one ret

    I built a Hackintosh since my old Mini died before the refresh. Glad I did, since the $440 (tax in) components I bought trump every one of the $799+tax base model Mini specs

    Wow, I was just about to buy a 3rd generation. I’m really glad they brought back 128gb storage — 64gb is too little and 256gb is overkill for my needs.

    Even the most basic xor "encryption" would use virtually no power. Define a key and xor all data coming in with it. Given the slow refresh rate of these things, it would provide sufficient security against a bruteforce.

    The argument for piracy is always a mix between those who aren’t willing to pay for the media, and those who aren’t willing to put up with the limitations and restrictions of DRM. Sometimes you can compromise with one side if the other is r

    I wear a similar minimalist wardrobe in a place with -40° winters. My winter outfit is the same as summer, plus thermal undergarments and a good coat/gloves/hat. It’s surprising how well layering works.

    I think Rust has an intrinsic advantage simply in its power. Standard libraries (and really most code) are written by humans. Giving those humans the confidence to implement complex data structures and algorithms without worrying about null

    You can write extremely safe code in any language. Python isn’t even a bad choice (compared to other dynamic languages) because you can at least get static type checking via type hints.

    There’s an app called Fluid which allows you to run websites as thin Mac apps. It uses Safari instead of Electron so it’s not incredibly bloated. https://fluidapp.com/

    Google (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc) actually has this built in. It’s under the “insert symbol” menu item
