No. It does not imply that. It only implies that it might not be included in a List Operation. That's all this sentence tells you.

Indeed, although that seems irrelevant for the mentioned use case. After all, why would the client request an image before it's uploaded. It seems like a straight forward "server side upload->generate url and send it to client-

The linked post says "has the same cost as S3", yet on the linked pricing page there's only a "Contact Us" Enterprise plan besides a free one. Am I missing something?

Genuinely curious: How do you efficiently navigate such an extremely large code base using vim? ctags? Any plugin recommendation?

In fact it had H264 decoding in all revisions, optional unlockable MPEG2 and VC1(?) up to and including all Pi3 models and H265 since the Pi4.

Oh. I think it might have been Harpoon II. The screenshot at https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/harpoon-ii/screenshots/ga... looks like it might be what I remembered. I'll have a look. Thanks a lot!

On the slim chance anybody remembers: I've been fascinated back then by a game I've only seen in magazines. It was some kind of war simulator with a greenish vector graphics map of the north Atlantic. I think you could coordinate

Why should any developer even consider using the API again, given twitters past developer hostile behavior? Briefly scanning over the labs page doesn't add seem to address this?

Thanks for the quick response. I thought I tried that and just made sure I did. The following did not work for me: Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data > Searching for "passwordless.dev" > Edit > Remov

I toyed around with this on https://passwordless.dev/usernameless on iOS 14 and now I have two test users to choose from on the 'Do you want to sign in www.passwordless.dev" using a saved account?' prompt. I

The reason is hopefully https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality . Otherwise you soon get a network with all the big player’s services being „free“. This makes competition with them even more difficult.

Isn't the iPhone SE 2020 close to that? Dual sim with eSim, 5.4", waterproof and latest CPU/GPU. I would expect to get at least 5 years of usage including OS updates out of it, so the slightly higher price compared to the XZ2

Maybe a stupid question, but isn't IAM related to almost any API access to AWS as it's used for authorization and authentication through a combination of identities and policies? Or does this outage only affect the meta level bein

From the blog linked in the comments: “We don’t want to know what you do on the Internet — it’s not our business”. So they built a product that allows others to track what you are doing. And they don’t fingerprint, because “users have no wa

A bit of background. Every app that is intended to be actually used by a people essentially must use the framework included in the OS. Otherwise it would run into various roadblocks like not being able to properly run in the background or n

I also wonder why there's so few experimental keyboards with any kind of built-in mouse. Realistically you need one and I feel like switching one hand between the keyboard and mouse should be optimized as well. At the moment I'm u

Is there only a single instance of the example Counter object globally and as there are no additional await'ed calls between the get and put operations, the atomicity is guaranteed? Is the object then prevented from getting instantiate

Also why limit to app stores. I want to sell my own cosmetics on their fortnite item store (jk, I don’t). Valve allows that for games like CSGO, if I understand that correctly. The whole „they build a platform, I want a part“ is weird.

Excellent example and exactly the reason low-tech is the way to go. Thanks for the link.

Totally agree. I’ve voted in every election since I’m 18. So far all voting booths have been in walking distance. IIRC all have been on a Sunday, so it doesn’t conflict with work for most people.

In Germany you can request to vote by mail. Additionally you can get instructions on Audio CD, in braille or large fonts. As I said, this can and is all solvable without complex technology.

Not sure how that computer related. In Germany all voting places are wheelchair accessible. Additionally for the blind, there’s a Stimmzettelschablonen that allows you to vote in secret. These issues can be solved without computers.

Online voting should never be the goal. Computers make things easier and more scalable, but that's not what you want for voting. You want a process that's as distributed as possible so the blast radius of any kind of interference

Sounds like clear text with extra steps. Given that iCloud data is stored on third-party services, using crypto is a necessary implementation step, but from the user's point of view it seems mostly irrelevant and isn't really diff
