As far as I can tell, this announcement is _only_ referring to GSuite users (i.e, work accounts). Their rationale explicitly calls out "consumers" (i.e Gmail/personal accounts) as having a different use case. I don't bel

The "newer versions" are the one just announced today and releasing in September, so you're not too far behind the curve :)

Well, your system is very different from just having expensive drugs in one key respect - being poor results in imprisonment, not a lack of access to drugs.

It would work roughly the same way. Integrating an OAuth provider like this requires registering an application with revokable ClientIDs, so Apple can technically pull them just as easily as they can pull Apps. (It remains to be seen if the

It's usually the marketing department asking for e-mail addresses in the first place.

That's a very different product. Gmail basically never needs to refresh the page - you go through that loading bar once in the morning and there's no real reason to see it again the rest of the day. Every action in Gmail other tha

This seems like insane advice. Even if it's technically permitted, the HTML5 spec page they themselves link to shows a bunch of caveats and exceptions that make it risky. And for what - to save literally 10 bytes?

That just can't be the average. That must be the very top of the curve. For it to be the average, with the very bi-modal distribution coming from parents who have no-screens policies, the average in that other cluster would have to be

I sure hope GPU access for things like OpenCL/CUDA are on that list :)

Has the video of the Build talk been posted yet? I know it's only been a few hours, but I don't even know where to look to check. (YouTube? The Build site? Channel9?)

Huh? When was it promoted as a replacement, by whom? It’s not even in the same product category/ RSS aggregates updates to websites without needing to check them. Pocket takes an article you have open in your browser right now and save

But the whole point of trusting is that you get to skip verifying. What's the difference between trusting and not trusting if you still have to put in the work of verification anyway?

> We eradicated 5c coins in NZ because they cost something like 6c to make. Why would that matter? A 5c coin is spent thousands, millions of times. Why would there need to be any connection at all between how much it costs to make the co

Well, this runs _binaries_ that were compiled for macOS. Yes, practically speaking, the only binaries worth running on macOS tend to be open-source utilities that can be compiled for Linux anyway. But it is a fundamental difference in imple

I got a totally different impression of the meaning of this story from the headline, before reading the article. It sounded ominously like maybe those 270 people had counted the ballots “the wrong way.”

I wonder if there are any studies that look at how hard it is to permanently readjust muscle memory as you age. Would I ever (at 31) ever achieve the same fluency with emacs if I switched cold-turkey today as I've developed with vim in

You can also remap a key like Caps Lock to Escape, straight from System Preferences on macOS (unless you're already remapping it to Ctrl or something)

But this isn't a debugger. It's just instrumenting a function with some very verbose logs.

Something other than a human evaluation of a student's entire resume, which is what we have now? No, it's not at all obvious to me that such a thing is possible. That's basically tantamount to fortune-telling.

Honestly until today I didn't even realize NPM was a company. I thought it was managed in the same vein as PyPI or rubygems.org ... why isn't it?

The funniest part of this stupid tirade is that the game he's "rescinding" is a crappy text-based slot machine that hasn't been updated since 2012 and has probably never been used by anyone but the author.

S3Proxy is third-party, but Google's GCS S3 compatiblity is very much native. It was a selling point when they first launched it that you could just take boto and change the endpoint, add a header, and have it work.

For what it's worth, it's not the case anymore. You can /connect directly to a network domain and it'll just create it as a temporary session that doesn't need to be saved to the config.

The intent of the law seems different in these cases though. The purpose of anti-forgery laws is to protect the producers and consumers of art from being ripped off financially. The purpose of deep-fake prohibitions is to protect the viewer
