Why do you manually enter your own transaction fee at all? Is it not just a percentage of the transaction amount? What happens if you enter too small a fee?

You clearly skimmed my comment without actually reading it. The police were obviously in the wrong. But the exact way in which they were in the wrong remains extremely relevant to all of the discussions going on right now, yet the media app

Is it used for anything other than Flutter? I remember they initially pitched Dart as a wholesale replacement for JavaScript on the web, before Flutter even existed.

I'll never understand why people thought it was a good idea to design static type systems that can't express nullability/non-nullability in the first place. In a Java codebase every single object reference is a potential la

But there are lots of apps that aren't actively maintained, and so will never get recompiled, even if they could be. And even the ones that are actively maintained might not be ready and recompiled on day 1. Emulation would go a long w

It makes me so upset how distorted all media coverage has been of all sides of this overall topic, from the start. Even if, with the new information you provided, the basic conclusion is the same - "police overreach, especially when it

I would say, first of all, if you're in The Valley you should leave. All of the cultural issues you describe are much worse there than other places. I haven't really encountered them at all personally. And then second, I would say

It would depend on where the friends' views are rooted. If the friend is saying "My uncle is a cop who's never done anything wrong and he doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the ones causing trouble", I could activ

My interpretation of the above is that you have friends who support dismantling or at least re-building the police as an institution, and that you see this as a threat to your safety and you're getting into conflict over the matter. Wi

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's a 2TB spinning disk that's a few years old. Been meaning to upgrade to an SSD for this exact reason.

I honestly haven't cared about bandwidth since I hit 50mbps. Having 300mbps, it's fun when I download a new Steam game to watch my hard disk become the bottleneck. But that's about all I get out of it.

I felt I made it clear, but by "average" I meant "average for equivalent roles in the tech industry".

Every tech job pays well compared to most of the economy. But the OP described Amazon's salaries as "frugal", in that context. My point is just that I don't see any shining positive that makes all the downsides worth it.

Serious question: why does anyone work for Amazon? Everything I've heard is that it's a toxic work environment, with below-average pay and draconian employee agreements. And that's not even getting into the ethical issues. Wh

My company offered to pay for IDEA, so I tried out the free version, and it was just miserably laggy. Not unusable, but it felt like every little interaction had a 100ms delay. On a brand new MacBook Pro. I decided I couldn't deal with

Really neat project and fantastic write-up. I always enjoy following the journeys of people who forge into the untamed lands of WASM. I always find myself wishing I had a good excuse to use WASM for something, but never being able to find o

One thing you can do is make the data itself more concise: - Stripping all whitespace from formatted JSON can make a huge difference - Making property names shorter (these get repeated for every element in a large dataset!) - If your data i

As long as developers continue buying Macs for building non-Apple-native software, there will be ways to get them to run whatever you want, because that's required for a dev machine. If Apple ever decides it no longer cares about selli

I think GitHub gets used there as a social network because it isn't fully censored. I've read about Chinese using it to share/collaborate on unsanctioned information because it can't just be blocked: unlike Facebook and

It's already quite difficult and unideal to install a non-Apple OS on a Mac, aside from Windows via Bootcamp. Not being able to install a custom OS is a long way from "not owning your hardware". Apple OSes are part of the sum

My 2nd gen Zune got stolen in 2011 :( I loved that thing. Of course by that point I was using my iPhone for a lot of stuff, but it was just such a lovely piece of hardware I'd probably still be using it occasionally if I had it.

Yeah, without even reading it this set off a number of red flags for me. If this person is real, they should submit their story to a journalist at a major publication who can verify their identity without making it public.
