The problem here is that you are erasing history. Imagine someone going into the town square and yelling something profane. That can never be unheard, people will never forget. There will be record of it. Twitter is the only authority that

At this point TypeScript is pretty boring tech, and using it on the back-end is an extra compilation step - with the benefits that brings. And it's easy to say use "boring tech", and in some cases it might call for it, but wh

For those looking into this more the term used is BIR. British Indian Restaurants. There’s plenty of folks online doing their best to share the secrets of the British curry house. One such is Dan Toombs (The Curry Guy). Essentially the majo

This is such an obvious thing now that I see it. Great idea and execution. One might argue this should be a feature available natively, and a valid use-case for face-detection other than identification and tagging.

I didn't fully grep the article, but assuming the src is public and hardware is trivially built - I wouldn't put it past someone packaging this up and selling it. It doesn't need a huge number of people to be bad enough PR fo

This is the same approach as night shifts for nurses. There’s a lot of evidence to suggest that the effects on this infrequent but consistent disturbance to their circadian rhythms causes all kinds of physiological damage. One example [1].

Hi Vincent. These look great. I really like the soft edges and curves, subtle but not too subtle as to make them look comic-book like. Very nice

My FB feed is essentially zero content (500+ friends mostly over 25). It’s an aggregator nowadays of group discussions and primarily page content, even pages I don’t follow. Nobody but boomers use it to share nowadays.

Except it doesn't. The usual fallback I've experienced (been told to do) to this is to preload the whole site behind a loading bar instead :)

Sure, this is not foolproof - but you'd be surprised how many people were caught.

I worked on an a service that did this to prevent unauthorised distribution of something we sold in zip files. You can add a lot of identifiable data to pretty much any file format if you try hard enough.

I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on this one Scott, on a philosophical level. We have companies like pullrequest.com monetizing code quality (currently only private but I presume they'll enter the OSS market at some

Imagine a scenario where an OSS developer with a package with millions of downloads a week is getting paid a few beers worth of money a month for all their work. And then a company like Snyk is building a verification service on top of this

I don't get it, who is going to pay for the time and energy required to audit everything? I presume the big package maintainers already have eyes on their stuff - symfony etc. In theory we should always diff upstream package changes -

I got a HomePod mini last week. I have used Spotify probably about 20-30 times by tapping it with my phone or using AirPlay from the control Center. Zero issues. The lack of _native_ Siri support is a joke though. Spotify really need to pul

One of these at least is a native feature of vscode now (rainbow brackets) so I’d consider this post to be of low quality. If you ran even half of these last it’d really slow vscode down too.

The quality of cadbury chocolate has been getting worse over the years since Kraft bought them out. I still buy it because it looks like the same product, kinda tastes like it, and ultimately will give me what I want. I don't disagree

Google came along when the search industry was in its infancy, with multiple providers vying from top-spot. We have now had over 20 years of dominance, refinements to get it to what it is today. Entering the market today is on a whole diffe

If I can be frank, nothing google has done or is doing with my search data bothers me in the slightest. If it uses my data to help target advertising - so be it. It doesn't bother me either as I use uBlock. So whether I pay or not, the

I refuse to pay for lightroom. I'd consider their fees if it gave me all I wish :) As it stands now it's software that offers you nothing for a subscription.

For Sky (satellite tv) in the UK you have an online version. As soon as you even open the screenshot app it closes the stream. If you try and airplay to your tv from laptop, it overlays a big grey box. It’s anti consumer at this point. Anyo

The sooner we move everything to one-time tokens (apart from subscriptions) the better. It's absolutely a ridiculous security model we have in place at the moment. I pay absolutely everything I can with Apple Pay now. I also would like
