Sounds like Chinese people traveling would have the same problems outside China: their usual payment systems don’t work. It’s good to know that their system is controlled in a way like that, but the only note of value in this article is tha

What about python and node binaries? Assuming those don’t fall under the same group, can we also run electron from the cli if it’s not notarized?

Brings back great memories of Sierra’s King’s Quest and swapping out floppies as you reach different parts of the game. 2 seconds was definitely the minimum time I would imagine being able to put in a new floppy and not risk crushing it, bu

$30 seems kinda high for what it does. You can do this with cron and the mac screenshot cli. I have been for years. It’s the best way to fill in your time sheet. I also made a small react app that shows thumbnails and supports zoom and spl

My parents and one sibling did the 10 day vipassana retreats and praise the experience extensively. They would like to go back and also found it extremely difficult. They all went vegan for a while after, all talk about turning off device n

I never realized how much people depend on their vocation as their primary social connection until reading these blog posts about loneliness that have sprung up lately. Can an office job really give you all the deep personal stimulation you

It’s amazing how effectively they were followed around by so many people. At the start of the video, you might think “well, the USA has concentration camps so who are they to point a finger” but by the end you realize how huge a scale and i

I think this started on reddit programmerhumor. It was hilarious when it was happening since over the course of several days, more insane options debuted repeatedly. Having worked on enterprise software since the 90s I think makes Extra fun

This is not my experience. I have several lte devices from them and they are very unreliable. Their only advantage is price (for the time being).

Someone posts this on every article called serverless, but what is the purpose? Everyone used to say the same thing about cloud computing. It’s just a distraction from someone sharing free and functional code with the community.

I love how poland embraces their history. Those beach baskets in Sopot are just typical of here and my wife’s grandparents have pictures in the same basket chairs that are out there today (kinda). Many farm pictures can be seen with a 1 hou

This title is very misleading. The situation is nuanced. The thread seems to demonstrate that the requester is getting build information from the maintainer but is not to their personal satisfaction as someone with less experience that requ

The topic is so brutal I feel bad pointing out how artistic they made it render in mobile. I’m so used to short articles now that I kept getting surprised by each step they took in actually doing research. Great job all around.

That was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, if you’re on the fence about reading it. It puts those mass levels into perspective.

Seems more likely that they want the database connections than the revenue. Everyone in the Salesforce ecosystem is writing Integrations into other platforms and if they make it easier to ingest data in Salesforce and keep you there it will

There are non alcoholic drinks that have the taste without the buzz if you don't want the health issues from drinking.

I agree. Personal experience is that even moderate drinking causes poorer sleep and mental performance but can only be observed after you have been clean of alcohol for months. After you are in the habit of drinking multiple times per week

It shows thumbnails of my screenshots in a timeline so I can zoom and see what I was doing. Then I click on them and tag them to tasks. It sounds time consuming (pun intended) but I have keyboard and mouse shortcuts in the page. I'm th

In my opinion, GitHub succeeded in spite of git, rather than because of git. I see beginner spend a lot of time on issues merging and rebasing. They simply would not continue (outside the hard core technical crowd) if it weren't for G

It's definitely easier. No longer do you have to wait for a book about your turbo C plus plus compiler to arrive from far away to solve a problem. Now you just Google and have an answer so fast. It probably depends on your industry tho
