Not necessarily since you pay for wireless connectivity. RX/TX doesn't matter. Recipient could be on a different network too. You want a text, you cover the costs. Banks still charge me on both ends for int'l wires. Now I per

Absolutely. I mean I remember 20y ago when someone's solution to spam was paying a small fee. Not what you want, but it's gotta be somewhere there. There has to be a cost to it, but it probably shouldn't be directly monetary.

Don't look at it as us vs them. Recruiters are part of your (future) team. Maybe not your direct team, but once you get bad people in your team you'll want them to do a better job.. Chicken vs egg. Apply where you actually want to

Spy devices are often of passive "listening" nature. Is it operating an RF jammer or laser? Those things suck power.

Coccinelle is French for lady bug. Cool tool. It's been around for what feels like forever but outside of the Kernel, people unfortunately still seem to prefer regex. I also met Julia when I did an exchange semester at diku, Copenhagen

My wife got a new laptop that came with a windows 11 pro license, so I let her pick. She wanted to try Windows after about 10y or being on Ubuntu. It's only been a few weeks, so time will tell her side but for me, the setup was a hassl

You're right but that's because it's already come to this. Would it have been that hard to say: these are the standardized fields usable only in accordance with the standards and these are the custom fields for your own bs.

Well said. For some reason I was expecting rust code... I guess my internal heuristics seems to associate fancy TUIs with colored output with rust.

Agreed but then it's not free. Someone already paid for it [we the people.]

IMHO, optimally there should be no force (regulation) necessary at all. It'd be much more beneficial if manufacturers saw the benefits because consumers choose according to the benefits they see. Sometimes we have to ask to make a need

So 2025 is finally going to be the year of the Linux Desktop! J/k, just had a flashback of some posts from about 20y ago :D

What makes you think that? :P

That's the whole point, otherwise it's not safe against "make it look like an accident."

.. but unless an AI, it can never be trained to stop when the user (reader) maxes out the threshold. [just food for thought, definitely not my opinion that books should be replaced by conversational AI generating stories appropriate for the

Totally agree. This is where you get to invest: They're still looking for monthly sponsors. https://github.com/sponsors/DioxusLabs#sponsors

Sounds promising. I was looking at Tauri recently for an upcoming iOS/Android project but it doesn't seem mature enough. I will require bluetooth and with flutter I know how to go about it. How do you, @jkelleyrtp, feel Dioxus wou

I never understood leading dot until I understood that native speakers indeed say ".3" (point three). Trailing makes it a floating point type instead of an integer

Flutter is pretty cool. Maybe not as impressive as some last achievements, but darn useful to save money on Android+iOS development.

Protonmail is not Crypto AG. Swiss laws are great for that purpose and it's a nice island inside the EU. Also a few actual cases disclosed by Proton that show the workings when collaboration does indeed happen: "here's the en

Doesn't seem to do too well with foreign numbers. Never had issues calling but 2FA texts don't come through.

It's the best they can do on the new API but it's not the same product.

by _blk 2y ago
The move to the API seems motivated more by keeping the ad profitability model up than being about technical/security reasons. While I'm glad we're not in the IE4 vs. web standards days anymore, with Edge now also being on Ch

Respectfully, why not? That's the whole point of campaigning. I seriously hope an incoming administration has a plan before they get to office. "I wouldn't change anything" fortunately doesn't seem to win elections

I don't think religion has anything to do with it. Statistics and increasing entropy. Now, where you go from there might take you to religion, and so I'd argue that modern science often has arguably more to do with the religion of

I like that this one has a JSX-like macro `html! { <div>{var}</div> }` syntax. Today's other one, `rwf` uses strings.
