How is it a Ponzi scheme if any photo uploaded before July 2021 will still be stored for free? In such a scheme the last N people to join lose their "investment". In this case any new user could easily upload their entire library

Awesome! I've seen videos of people running Android Studio on a recent Samsung model and I was impressed by the fact you can now build Android apps on Android. As far as I know there is currently no way of building iOS apps on an iOS&#

Has anyone tried running a full distro in chroot on a Galaxy tab s7 (e.g. with Andronix or similar)? Love the device but I need Chrome's dev tools so Android won't cut it.

This is brilliant! Especially to distribute branded shortened URLs of the kind {mydomain}/{id} without having to maintain pretty much anything and giving the end user a chance to verify what the URL actually leads to. Thank you!

Agreed, this should be sent encrypted, obviously. My point was that the intent here might not be to "snoop" on users, as even the author points out by comparing his analysis with what Jeffrey Paul's article reported ("[.

It’s worth noting that you’ll get the same outcome if you register everywhere with a free Gmail/iCloud/whatever account. The only sure way you won’t lose access is to set up your own domain and use a decent email provider that all

That post is about a lot more than just "basic refactoring ability". Why are you trying to discredit the author?

This is true for any non E2E encrypted solution. Even using something like NextCloud, without E2E encryption enabled, on a small VPS provider would meet the same fate, except that Apple can afford resisting unreasonable requests and is far

I've been waiting for their apps to be snappier and have better offline support for almost 2 years. I'm so glad to have found Joplin. It also supports E2E encryption so damn well. Support for plugins was also recently added and th

Apologies for the "flexible" usage of the words "strongly typed". Arguably (as someone already pointed out) Python can be considered strongly typed (i.e. doing 1 + "1" won't cast the first operand to strin

This is true for any language, strongly typed or otherwise, with or without memory management. The evidence gathered in the last decades is pretty clear: there is little to no advantage using a strongly typed language over something like Py

How about a counterexample? Drones? Human flying (Zapata Flyboard Air, Gravity's jetpack)? Life expectancy increasing steadily? And we do have cryogenics. The answer to "what happened to them" is the same as "what happen

"Trivial non-problems"...What does it remind me of? Oh yeah: Dropbox is just a nice UI on top of rsync.

Except it's not. Books like Factfulness show it quite clearly. We have our fair share of problems but quality of life has been steadily improving almost everywhere and almost exponentially in some areas.

That is what the IRS (and most tax offices in the world, such as the British HMRC or the Italian AdE) defines as "foreign source income" since the work is literally being carried out abroad. It also includes capital gains and inte

Yep, most people get this rule the wrong way around. The 183 day rule is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition to be considered tax resident in most countries. It does not automatically make you non resident in your home country and

It seems pretty obvious to me that this kind of interviews are simply there to assess how much you want to work for a certain company. As in: would you be willing to study for months, go through mock interviews, read books, test your skills
