Yes, but I can’t imagine more than a negligible percentage of the Signal user base opting in because it’s anything but user friendly as a solution.

User friendly? Can’t be bought in the US, and for the remainder it will only cause headaches for anyone who just wants to be paid but have now received some unusable nonsense instead.

The Telegraph online is full of clickbait and articles worthy of a tabloid. There’s nothing broadsheet about it beyond the fonts/styling used and its historic reputation. (In the interest of balance, The Guardian is shit too)

WWDC is different from a typical conference. The vast majority of viewers for them will be online regardless, so it would make total sense for Apple to optimise for the online audience (and after all, the keynote is basically a piece of mar

Not having a permanent desk means that you need to find somewhere to sit when you arrive, and you need to leave the desk completely clear when you’ve finished for the day. This was how the last company I worked at functioned, and it was a n

You’re probably right, but it’s still better to spell it out in the title when a good percentage of readers will either be unfamiliar or think of something else.

There's not a universal credit score in the UK. There are a bunch of providers who will try and sell a score to you, but the actual score can vary greatly from provider to provider and guarantees nothing in terms of getting accepted fo

I'm not sure I get the point in relation to the article. They have a huge amount of data, so they need to handle it in a "big tech" way & it's not like they're doing this stuff just because they can. The Spotify

I do that as well. If the Reddit search was better I’d happily start the search from there, but it does feel like a major failing on Google’s side when it can only provide me with SEO spam.

I wouldn’t be surprised if people feel uncomfortable googling in an interview even when told it’s fine. You’re being judged for your knowledge (in part at least), googling something fairly basic doesn’t feel great even if it’s completely no

For maximum readability you want function names which are descriptive, but concise. My personal pet hate is when people make it concise by using acronyms and I’m just left wondering what the hell it stands for. Personally, I find the ‘in_pi

It's largely for export, so those of us in countries who import Brazilian meat could put tariffs on it until we're no longer incentivising the destruction of the rainforest/planet. Consumers will soon adapt to higher meat pri

Nice. It’s still good to have these methods for achieving the ultimate goal, people just need to stop presenting whatever works for them as the one true way.

Probably fair to assume that they weren’t raking in money from the “haha, the road sign has a rude word” tourism.

That just reads like they wanted the name and came up with a story to fit. The village and the brewery aren’t even in the same country...

Mainly the large 13" screen. My partner has a job which involves reading lots of documents, taking notes and then reading/sending emails. The iPad Pro is more comfortable than the rest of the range for split screen mode. The notes

I used to work at a company which used GitPrime, a product which tries to use git statistics to create graphs and productivity rankings for management, but of course it lacks any context. The easiest way to shoot up the ranking was to avoid

No danger? It seems a very precarious position over the next five to ten years. If Apple find success with their strategy, then money is going to flow into the development of ARM chips from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, etc for their o

Notion and Google Keep seem at opposite ends of the note taking spectrum though. Notion is incredibly powerful, but that strength was its weakness when I evaluated for personal use.

@googlemail.com was the default address for a few years in the UK because of a legal dispute. If you sent an email it'd always come from the longer domain.

Europe has many old subways and bridges too and like in the US they can be difficult to upgrade for cost reasons. (E.g. The London Underground still lacks air con on some lines because of narrow tunnels; there are parts of the network built

R/Unitedkingdom and ukpolitics are both dreadful. The dominant views are completely detached from the country as a whole. And as a bonus it’s depressing as hell to read.

Why do you think Apple is crippling third party password managers? If you want to use 1Password instead of iCloud Keychain then there’s support in iOS to do exactly that, and if you enable it then it will auto fill in the same way it did be
