I think you're probably right. I'd imagine that most of the code in Archive Utility.app is very old, and there's very little business reason to spend any engineering time on improving it beyond doing just enough work to make

I suspect there are many interfaces that would reject this number, as it's not a visa, master card or amex (which start with a 4, 5 and 3 respectively). 5105105105105100 and 4111111111111111 might be better alternatives (other test nu

The unmissable warnings don't really happen until you get to the terminal though. Admittedly, I have not used spirit for some time. But the signs that say "we don't really want you to have to pay $100 for the carryon you forg

I opted for the ad-free Hulu subscription, and that, for the most part, is great. They do have a few programs on there that are not eligible, but then they say up front "due to streaming rights, we have to show you ads, but it's j

> It's not VoIP I'm not convinced that this is the case - I'd imagine there are a number of calling cards that terminate a POTS line to a voip device in the US and then VOIP out for vastly cheaper international calling.

Yeah, I follow mostly nerds and comedians on twitter. Up until this election season, most of my feed was nerds talking about things they built and comedians telling jokes. Now my feed is literally 60% nerds talking about politics and comedi

Reminds me of the "what's the color of your bits" article that came up again when the Illegal Primes wikipedia article made the front page. "What's the color of your molecules?".

The legal drug that casino's peddle is very much the best drug to extract money from patrons. Weed does not reduce inhibitions in the same way that alcohol does, the only one I can think of that would help the casino's bottom li

Gambling has never been about the money. Gambling is a drug, full stop. Its effects are slightly less pronounced when you can't withdraw your winnings, but you can certainly put money into those products.

I agree, I am not drawn to slot machines, even though I do enjoy gambling (primarily table games like craps and blackjack). The people I know who do enjoy slot machines have all had a pretty decent (>$1k) hit on one, and that has, it see

I agree, as REST isn't a silver bullet. I do, however, also agree with TFA that you should investigate it as a "code smell", but that should be done before you actually implement it. "Do I need to actually break from t

Thanks, I didn't realize that it was relatively easy to bypass. I did know it primarily relied on string matching, but always thought the solution was to rename your methods when you hit a conflict with Apple's private APIs

I suppose I should have narrowed what I mean by whiskey to scotch-from-scotland, as price very much lines up with quality for scotch. The same is true for mezcal-from-oaxaca. The current trend of "craft" distillers relabeling fact

Yeah, I'm disappointed that they dropped that line in there with zero explanation. My understanding is that this should be impossible, as it could likely only be accomplished by calling private APIs. Calling a private API gets an app s

You most definitely missed the biggest thing about that episode. I agree it started slow/boring, but it goes to 100 in the blink of an eye. Edit: I thought I'd add that that episode did take me two tries (I fell asleep during the

Personally, I find that whiskey, beer, tequila and mescal are the only alcohol products where price really does line up with quality.

I think it's more that they're counting on the consumers of their comments to forget that fact. I'm quite certain they all remember it.

I don't even know what they do these days. I had an ex who was into buying daily deals, and literally every single small business where we redeemed one did not like the deal they got from groupon one bit.
