The meta conversation here is whether there was a decision to NOT give the user information on how to correct the problem - or if it was a process maturity, developer skill, or limited resources that caused the development to focus on the &

Cars are actually a good example of how errors should work. Errors should give appropriate information to diagnose and solve the problem to the stakeholders. So a car may have different lights/states from "low fuel", "ti

No it does not. And they do list the calories to two digits (which are <5g), list sugar as the primary ingredient, and have a footnote saying that the sugar is < 0.5g. The disadvantage of standardized labelling is that there will be e

It does not import the relationship, but you can still model it via protocols.

Timers are permanent on iOS 17 betas. You can give them labels, which I assume Siri would understand badly.

Its presence is not a mandate. It is not a decorative syntactical element, but affects compiler code generation the same way as rust has _synchronous_ generators. A developer is still free to spawn a thousand foot-guns, and I daresay the as

I'll try to explain their argument under the assumption handles were convincingly fake, e.g. there wasn't a heuristic to tell real and fake handles apart. The underlying protocol (U2F or CTAP) will send all received handles to the

Aspertame got US FDA approval in 1974, after being discovered in 1965. I'm not ready to anticipate a shocking revelation in another 20 years after heavy investigation for 50+.
