I'd take that with a grain of salt. Apple likes to threaten removal of technologies they have deprecated as a way to increase adoption of their replacements but rarely if ever go from deprecation to removal so aggressively, at least on

Well yes, but how suitable is GDP/capita as a measure? e.g. If you care for your own parents or children you have contributed nothing to GDP, but if you put them in a nursing home or daycare then you have. If you grow your own food and

I doubt it, Signal is terrible. Extremely sterile user experience, almost the complete opposite of something like LINE. They need to make it more fun.

What a dumb idea. They have 0 chance of success in China and it will just create bad PR everywhere else.

That's reasonable but even in a world war, you need only put people on nuclear submarines to protect humanity from extinction. Martian colonies are not necessary.

I apologise for the snark. However there are other much more effective forms of HIV prophylaxis, such as condoms. I find it hard to imagine that any adult would choose to circumcise themselves because they were worried about HIV.

Chopping the whole thing off would reduce the risk of HIV even further.

Not true in the UK, most people apply for their biometric passport online (or by post, which costs more). Adults applying for their first passport may be asked to attend an interview.

www.haxx.se: "Haxx is a bunch of friends who work as software developers and hackers in Sweden" Yep, that'll do it.

The unconscious is the opposite of the conscious, if you walk down the road you are thinking unconsciously about where to put your limbs. You might say "aha! walking is not thinking", but surely you would think very hard about w

If you are working with a large team, you need a statically typed language. Access modifiers are the least of your problems, the lack of refactoring support is a much bigger problem.

Optimistically, self-driving vehicles may allow the west to finally discover the joys of share taxis, which would increase people/vehicle and (hopefully) decrease congestion.

As someone who occasionally writes apps for iPhone I have to use the USB port all the damn time.

I'd go further and say that Apple isn't basing their hardware strategy on the needs of any real person. It's a laptop with only USB-C ports (and the 13-inch only has two of them). You can't even plug a USB stick into i

Because childhood is a rare time in one's life where you have the freedom to enjoy the outside, and not have to sit in front of a screen. FWIW I don't think books are a good use of time either.

I don't think sandboxing install scripts will help much, as any code in the package will be executed when that package is require()'d. You really need to sandbox the whole of `node`.

How would GPG signing help? If someone can execute arbitrary code on your computer as your user account , the game is over, you are totally owned. An attacker can simply start signing their package with your GPG key. Since you are probably

Apple doesn't care because people (including myself) will continue to throw money at them even if they make something that sucks. All of their competitors' laptops simply suck more. Freed from market pressures, Apple's hardwa

It is certainly possible to meet all of one's nutritional requirements on 1 USD per day of food, especially if you have a chicken to provide eggs. If working 48 hour weeks, 1 USD per hour is $208 per month, which is a modestly good wag

Only because it is more mature. No reason you can't write a linter for hyperscript.
