"irrational people" != people with "undiagnosed and untreated personality disorders" I just think it's important to iterate that. At the beginning of your comment it seems like you're offering a different gener

Tech debt isn't just breaking changes though, and mono repo does nothing to curb all the other types of tech debt: * Accumulation of FIXMEs * Partial refactors cut short after change in business reqs * Quick hacks near release time *

They suggest downloading a copy of your data first. How does one do that?

Multiple tens of seconds to open the camera??? I'm on a 6S and have had no issues with it. My old iPad Air slowed a bit, but never into multiple tens of seconds. Maybe 3-4 seconds to enter multitasking view (which is bad enough, don&#x

Yes. I went away a few months ago with my fiancé for 4 days and we did an unofficial smartphone detox. We just got there and said to each other, why not turn the phone data off and leave the phones in the corner of the room. So we did. The

What are our options until this is available? Will built in backups be available once you're out of beta, or further down the road?

Hold up, I never said anything about schizophrenia nor did I say ayahuasca caused it. The 2 articles you linked don’t mention ayahuasca at all. The active compound in ayahuasca is different from in LSD, mushrooms or mescaline. Show me a stu

A negative anecdote: a friend of a friend of a friend went on a retreat and did actually lose his mind. He needs help and probably will for the rest of his life. Just putting it out there for some balance. I’ve heard my fair share of positi

iOS 11 on my iPad Air 1 is laggier than iOS 10, but on my 6S is faster than iOS 10. Not sure why..

Good idea. This will work for me because I'm just backing up what are essentially archives. Thanks!

The changes to tuples in closures were a little annoying too, with the jump to 4.0. But on a whole it was pretty painless for us too.

Define terrible . If terrible means trying something for a few seconds and hating it then sure, that's terrible. But by that definition coffee is terrible. When I first tried coffee I hated it within a few seconds. Of course I love it

The odds are much lower than 1 in a million. It’s any kind of patent. Facebook aren’t just a social media software company anymore by any means. What this means is they can infringe on your patent on say “tinder for dogs bark swipe mechan

The music notifications with colours chosen from the artwork is really nice. Does anyone know much about the method behind this?

Honestly, this is actually kind of neat. I mean, if I'm carrying too many things in real life, I will probably not be able to pick something else up. But if I try again a few times I may be able to fit it or grasp it somehow. The proba

Lichess is excellent. I run my in person games through it's analysis. They have a great feature where you practice the correct move where you had made a mistake or "blunder". And it's open source: https://gith

There were a lot of people in the older thread about the patents stuff saying things like "well, are you ever going to sue Facebook?? You don't need to worry about the patents stuff". But consider this: Facebook do something

Most of the database concerns have been addressed in other blog posts etc. If you need relational data, don't use firebase. Period. Where you need "anything beside a simple key lookup" for the majority of your queries, go els

Apologies for the dumb question, but what rights do you lose if the patent license is terminated? I mean, if you can use the software without the patent license, what is the patent license giving you?

You should definitely report the game to Apple. Games have ratings, and a guy holding a girl in a headlock with a gun pointed to her head is depiction of violence and likely not 4+ age friendly. Apple are the only people that can force the

Simple solution: have a "ask X if they're safe" button that friends/family can press. If someone presses it, that person gets a push to mark themselves safe. They don't get a push otherwise.

Interesting stuff, but all they've managed to do so far is find models that fit historical data better. Would be interested to read a follow up a year later to see how their models actually performed.
