It's easy to retweet a thread, and to start reading a retweeted thread because it's right there in Twitter. Reading an article from a tweeted link is a bigger effort investment. Also, Twitter threads lend itself to stream-of-consc

I'm pretty sure that's completely wrong. Everything I've heard about trademarks says you must protect them or you risk losing them. There's even a wikipedia page on "Generic trademark" about the problem of trad

If McDonald's genuinely thought Supermac's expansion would cause customer confusion, then they're not only right to challenge it but they have a duty to challenge it in order to protect their trademark.

What does gender have to do with wealth? And if we're talking cars going 200, aren't we already talking wealthy people even today?

Is "y2k38" a common way to reference this issue? That doesn't save any characters over "y2038".

If you don't like the car analogy, how about bikes? After all, kick scooters are parked in the exact same section of the sidewalk that bikes are (the "furniture zone"), and are frequently even locked to bike racks.

IIRC, auto C++ objects aren't uninitialized, they're default-initialized, but said default-initialization may leave them with uninitialized fields. I would hope that this new automatic variable initialization would also apply to t

The format function is going to end up allocating a string for every single byte. That's a huge overhead. Edit: Turns out to be about 22% overhead, see https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl/pull/23 . Also it

I don't have any examples, having not touched Rails in an extremely long time, but as I recall the core philosophy of Rails was "we're opinionated about things so you don't have to make decisions", and it's no

Does the expansion of the universe mean that galaxies that are too far away from us are seemingly moving faster than the speed of light, and this is why we can't see any galaxies past a given point (because that's where they &quot

At the very least, the "battery" includes the circuitry protecting and mediating access to the cell(s), and that's the point where it would prevent the cell(s) from overcharging.

Well, .clone()

Right but we're talking about the whole battery, not individual cells. I thought "prevent the cells from charging too high or dropping too low" was standard practice these days for everybody, and so at the battery level the &

That sounds like you have defective hardware. You're right in that you shouldn't experience significant battery degradation within a year. But beyond that, 82% battery capacity should not result in significant lag and really shoul

The Blizzard client even used to have a window you could open where it would show the status of all the BitTorrent connections. I think they got rid of that some time ago though.

Obj-C has not been deprecated. And in fact the only parts of Obj-C itself that have actually been deprecated were during the migration to "Obj-C 2", where a slew of runtime functions (that nobody used) were removed, as well as dir

Speaking as someone who's never touched splines before, this looks pretty nice. I was able to very quickly reproduce the "a" from your screenshot using your demo.

I'm confused as to what the security issue is here. > Limiting the access of unencrypted passwords to only properly setup 1PW applications would seem to eliminate the possible (probable?) web based attack vector to a 1password.com

A password manager that is only usable in a web browser may be annoying to use for non-web-related tasks, but presumably you can just switch to your web browser, open up the password manager, and then search for what you need within it. It&

Ok, but the line I quoted wasn't about infinity, it was about numbers that were "too large", which I assume means bignums.

You’re confusing “designed” with “expected outcome”. Obviously Apple didn’t design the iPad to be pre-bent, and presumably they’re not thrilled about this. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t an expected outcome of the manufacturing process. I

A manufacturing defect implies it’s an unexpected outcome. This is an expected outcome.

Where did they say “it’s a feature”?

by eridius 8y ago
Every device that supports 3D Touch is highly resistant to bending, because AIUI the way 3D Touch is implemented basically puts a metal plate inside the phone. This is why the iPads never got 3D Touch, because they’d end up too heavy with a

There's no way "any interaction with the page" could possibly legally constitute agreeing to any sort of policy. I hope someone sues them over this.
