I think it's worse when you make a reservation, but it doesn't mean anything. For example, my wife and I went to a PF Changs on a holiday. We had a reservation we scheduled at least a week ahead of time, but it meant nothing, we w

Betamax might have been a consumer failure, but I had to use it as recently as 2009 because some TV stations would only take our commercials in a Betamax format. Granted, it was for some local Spanish stations that just had a bunch of old e

So lets lay it all out there. E-M radiation is non-ionizing, but you can still get burned by it. One of the few major safety topics you'll learn in getting an HAM radio license is about RF burns. However, you have to use a fairly large

I've only deployed an app once with Ionic, and I only ever had one issue with it. For some reason, notifications on iOS devices would just stop working after a few weeks. The only way to fix it was the re-upload the certificate for not

On a similar note, my mother was recently diagnosed with Silent Sinus Syndrome [0]. She had been having vision issues for a while, and it surprised her whenever they figured out it was due to the collapse of her sinus cavity. [0]: https:&#

sorry for sounding green, but I've been tinkering in electronics, and PCB design is has been the part that's daunting. I would prefer to make PCBs, but how do you handle the footprint of some components? like do you measure each o

Yeah, let's get some subversion astroturfing going on in here to balance it out.

I think PWAs are still considered more of a novelty. If they really ever catch on, I could see where apple might require you to start hosting some kind of cross-signed cert or something that you can only get from Apple to install/use t

A bit of misinformation in this side thread. A JWT token is composed of three parts: a header, payload, and signature. The problem is that people can put sensitive info in the payload. None of it is encrypted, it's only signed with HMA

yeah, but it's sad that this is basically the only way to get them to do it.

Don't worry. You can still get low quality parts from other places as well. I had to replace the water pump in my car twice in a year because the factory installed one failed, and then the one I installed after that failed within six m

maybe they're doing it before the new year for tax reasons. still done in poor taste though.

I doubt they'll kill flutter, and even if they did, it's still going to remain open-source. Plus it looks like it has a number of internal customers, so it just seems unlikely to get axed anytime soon.

Dart was designed by one of the guys who created the V8 JS engine. I'm pretty sure if anyone was justified to create a new language here it would be those guys.

Yeah, it's cheaper per person, but the total cost still rises no matter how many people you add.

Sounds like you got a rare deal, everything I'm seeing online says it's $70-$40 per line depending on how many lines you have.

This. Right here. Currently in my late 20's. I have nothing figured out, and I stopped trying to figure things out a while ago.

Hmmm... I'm curious, would provider-switching still work with those phones? or would those phones be stuck on a single provider?

I worked with a guy who freelanced for a while, and he had an interesting observation. When the economy is shit, most large companies outsource a lot of work because they can't afford or don't have the workers for the amount of wo

You can't sideload an app on an iOS device, you can't run unsigned apps, and there is no version of iOS you can run without the App Store. Unless you jailbreak. You can still run Android without Google Play Services, even though i

I occasionally get random bills from "providers", and I think it shows just how awful medical billing is. The worst was whenever we had our first child. I thought it would just be a single bill or something, but instead I received

It might not be guilt per se, since it was only an example, so consider it what you want. Be it bad PR, obligations, compliance, etc.

There was an interesting observation at some day cares in Israel. When their day care closed, parents would drop everything to make sure they picked their kids up on time, but some would still be late. At some point, these day cares decided

If you're on a network you control, sure you could setup your DHCP to broadcast the DNS addresses. However, I don't see how you could set this for mobile networks or networks you have no control over, since both Android and iOS do

We had Informed Delivery at our old house, and now we have it at our new house... except we don't know how to stop receiving emails from the old house, so we know what the homeowner of our old house gets every day.
