Note that Apple has been slowly moving to restrict that ability in MacOS as well. Each release makes it harder to install applications from developers that haven't kissed Apple's ring.

The question will be if developers start abandoning the platform will you be a happy user if you're unable to access popular apps on your locked down Apple computer.

Even better than diesel filters is not using diesel at all! Fossil fuels are never going to not produce pollution. California with some of the strictest tailpipe emission standards still has huge smog problems. I don't see the issue w

Could it be that you didn't like the article because it didn't confirm your biases?

I don't see how you can rely on the past to predict massive historic trend shifts in the workplace. Previously offshoring created an in-group and an out-group with shitty communication between them. Post-pandemic everybody is in the sa

I'm not sure about more job opportunities in the future, remote work is going to accelerate jobs moving out to lower wage countries and put downward pressure on salaries here.

A plausible start of WWIII would be China seizing Taiwan in order to regain access to TSMC.

Pixel 4a with fingerprint scanner, headphone jack and bigger battery looks nice, but unfortunately they don't have an xl version.

None of that matters as long as Intel can't ship their 10nm and 7nm nodes. This guy doesn't seem to have an opinion on what's wrong at the fabs but that is the big life or death question for Intel right now.

You kind of made my point by quoting straight from Google public relations. Was the strikingly similar schematic verified independently by journalists? Did it come up at trial?

Never seen that story and can't find any details after a quick Google search. I wonder how much of the anti-Levandowski news is Google or Uber PR propaganda.

Free trade doesn't work between countries with different value systems, the values will be exploited as a weakness. Same applies with labor and environmental standards.

Not an option, modern protests are all about getting that viral video that makes the other side look bad.

Losing it is my biggest reason for needing the audio jack. I not only lose dongles I also lost my expensive Airpods even with the Find My app. I also lose my wired earbuds but at least they're cheap. I know many people that don't

Historical whataboutism like this is the source of much of the moral justification for outright evil in the world.

Same. But I got a glimpse when I spent some time working at an established east coast company how much Microsoft is used for absolutely everything. I hadn't even heard of SharePoint but it is a whole massive universe unto itself.

If people could get reinfected we would have heard of more of those cases by now. We can be pretty sure that it confers several months of immunity at minimum.

Alright yea, technically, but push vs polling is a just a low level implementation detail for how to power a a feed.

Did you know that email clients have to poll their email server periodically and download their messages?
384.
by bosswipe 6y ago
That totally depends on the RSS client. Many, maybe most clients will poll the RSS feed periodically and cache items for you.
385.
by bosswipe 6y ago
I really don't see the difference you're trying to make. The RSS reader would also "fill up" in the sense that if you open it all the items would be marked unread just like in the inbox. Personally I use my inbox as my R

The EU's "financial support" means that Greece's economy will be in slow growth or recession with high unemployment for decades. That will probably lead to unhealthy governments. They would be better off if they had gone

It's not species extinction that makes life undetectable, it's extinction of the civilization. For a civilization to be detectable it has to be at least at our level, or maybe a century beyond our level. If our civilization collap

There's a simple objective metric that could capture most of what you'd want to know about any school and put USNews's rankings out of business: graduates' achievement. How much are graduates making 10 years later? How m
