You’re arguing it’s a rhetorical misstep and at the same time suggesting it need not be called out. Huge pet peeve of mine is when these little flourishes derail an entire discussion because they aren’t really true but get the sympathetic i

Ah, but you’d have to use Xcode to build the editor… are you volunteering?

That’s not what the saying means, obviously -_-

The phrase is not a defense of some hyper relative worldview. It’s commentary that the perception of the many facts, which of those are highlighted, which are ignored, which biases shine through and which narrative wins, etc., at the end of

Don’t get salty just because people aren't interested in your point. I for one, think it’s an entirely _fair_ comparison because culture is transitive. People are not ignoring the context of your point, they’re disagreeing with the

Sure, it’s a point. Nobody would be where they are if not for the shoulders of those that came before. I think there are far more interesting points in the discussion.

I’ve heard different leaks to the tune that it is actually significantly more powerful. Rationale being because Nintendo presumably finally needs to take 4k and higher frame rates seriously, and the hardware situation has improved enough fo

I was going to help support your argument, but I can’t because you started throwing a fit and deleted everything. My 18-month has calmer manners. You can actually delete your comment (instead of editing to [deleted]) and it kills the entire

You can do this with ssh keys too. And ssh keys can sign git commits. There’s no reason these days to even install a pgp suite. Stop using it.

Are you serious? A MITM here cannot sign things with your private key. People who care can add the keypub’s fingerprint before connecting. Adding an sshfp record is completely trivial too. There is no more tofu here than any other ssh conne

“if that person doesnt know your number“ I’m saying that if two people have each other in their contacts lists and are on friendly terms, it’s not rude to call them if you need to talk to them. Maybe I misunderstood, though. Sounds like you

I understand the dmca protects reversing for the purposes of interoperability. My argument is not that the dmca is a foundation for clean room arguments. I just mentioned it because it protects the disassembly of binary code. It’s about cle

That’s completely different.

Have you seen modern cell and wifi antennas? The wavelength of wifi is 11cm so you make a quarter wave antenna and print it right on to the board [1]. 1. https://www.antenna-theory.com/antennas/patches/pifa.php

Clean room is a legal defense that argues “I implemented similar functionality without consulting the copyrighted work” and sometimes with the addition of “or ever having viewed the original copyrighted work”. For video games the binary is

It’s definitely not rude to call someone without asking first. If you don’t want to answer the call then don’t and if it’s important I’ll text or leave a voicemail.

Lower frequency means longer wavelength and longer wavelength penetrates structures better. Or is that over simplified? I’d think the goal of reclaiming some of the lower frequency spectrum is not to try and solve bandwidth issues but to au

Could a factor be that most people primarily typewrite now so it’s second nature muscle memory but the handwriting task requires just a little extra effort? I didn't see preexisting disposition factored in at all, so I’m curious.

I can tell you, with absolute certainty, that nobody knows how to implement the law or what it even means, legislators, lawyers, engineers alike. There was a good somewhere and now we're in hell.

And I’m arguing, rhetorically, what if your name produces a syntax error—or worse means something semantically devious—in the query language I’m using? Not all problems look like script tags and semicolons.

I think it’s more of an ethical question than anything. There will always be pranksters and there will never be perfect input validation for names. So who do you oppress? The people with uncommon names? Or the pranksters? I happen to think

I don’t care how ultra your wide is, reading anything horizontally is painful and unwieldy. It’s biological, your eyes can’t track horizontally without row guidance, and even then it’s not hard to get lost. I have one rule: code flows ver

Every time this discussion happens a non-trivial number of people reveal they’ve fallen into this trap of believing other browsers are allowed on iOS. Feels like a consumer protection issue, at some level.
