I definitely agree with this, and I also agree with others who say that Garmin's software is generally the weakest part of their offering

As the other person said, all that you're doing can still be done by these watches if people want to. On your system though: what happens if your computer crashes, gets a virus or you otherwise lose the data? You should probably have a

So this exact rule, that to charge money for your app or from your app you must give Apple a cut, has been there since 2011. This is not new, and apps getting caught in this seem to bubble up every few months.

Yah, understandable. It sounds like they have moved some stuff around recently too, because you can no longer disable sync: https://support.getpostman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203492852-H... So I guess the story

Like I said in my other post, I don't use postman. Your HN post reads like they are doing this without your permission and secretly: akin to say, finding out that facebook records your microphone to sell you ads or whatever. This i

I think you need to read their reply more carefully, because when I read: > We will only store the actual requests that are sent when the user signs into the application. It seems obvious to me that they are talking about your request t

Yeah I'm going to need to some evidence of this one. I don't use Postman, but it's the default name in this space, and if they were actually keeping and collecting all requests passed through it that would kill it as a produc

I've said it before, but if your CV is one of hundreds that are being reviewed for a role and you don't have a linkedin, it basically means that everyone else is more legitimate than you. This sucks, I am aware. But since people s

Do you think they are convincing, yet? General whatshisface in the recent SW movie looked really really bad. I don't recall how Leia looked in RoTS because that was such a deeply boring movie for me I forgot almost all of it minute

So my positive take is that this is the best (or worst depending on your perspective) I've seen for sure. The negative take is that this still looks really fake to me. His eyes are dead, his head whips around weirdly, his neck undulate

OK so let's say that I want to run a relatively stable linux install (so not the arch bleeding edge methodology), but I do want to run the latest linux kernel, or as close to it as possible. What are my choices? Or is the only choice

Controls the comment collapsing, everything else doesn't require JS.
