I'm not sure why everyone is so up in arms here. I don't see how this change is detrimental to the web or somehow good for Google. Hiding the " https://" seems like a perfectly fine idea as long as there'

Not a physical one, but the hit area on the TouchBar for Esc is actually larger than the physical key was. As much as people like to complain, in my experience the Esc key is extremely easy to hit.

If Superdeterminism means that the initial state of the universe is such that the universe appears to follow quantum mechanics... why? Why would every single decision have its resolution set in a manner that appears to follow QM?

I could support something like this if, instead of banning it, simply made these practices opt-in. Autoplay is great if you want it. It sucks if you don't. And Netflix makes it so dang hard to disable (you have to use a web browser and

This would be fine if it were opt-in (and especially, opt-in per session). It's not. It's opt-out, and the opt-out is rather hidden (IIRC you have to use a web browser, you can't even opt out from devices running Netflix).

> Well, the doctors you asked had a vested interest, they are unlikely to say “we are mostly useless”, so I can just as easily discard that. See how easy it is to maintain one’s belief without evidence? No, the doctor does not have a v

That's funny, because I've talked with doctors who oversee medically-managed weight loss programs professionally, and they made it very clear that even just doing 960Cal/day for 3+ days warranted medical supervision. This is

Sites like that just check if the URL is reachable. They don't have any way of testing for API issues.

Perhaps the OP has made the decision to accept Nintendo's control of the Switch in exchange for playing Switch games, but is upset about additional unexpected requirements being added to the mix by individual publishers.

I said Swift Playgrounds, not Xcode. But I also disagree. The people who just dragged around icons in Hypercard and never actually did any scripting, they wouldn't do anything with Xcode, but they're also not the people we're

Swift is absolutely targeted as an introductory programming language. The same audience that was scripting in Hypercard could grab Apple's Swift Playgrounds iPad app and start learning Swift using neat interactive tutorials today and g

Ingesting nothing but water for days on end being unhealthy really shouldn't need a citation, but if you really want one, go ask your local doctor.

All programming environments do that. And Apple continues to this day to give away a free programming environment for your Mac.

Extended waterfasting is dangerous. If you're going to go more than 3 days on even a sub-1000Cal/day diet, please have medical supervision.

by eridius 7y ago
Don't do something like this. A 7 day fast of just water isn't healthy. Your body starts burning more than just your fat. Even when doing something like a highly-restricted-calorie diet such as 960Cal/day you don't want

Do these shops have to use the exact same container on their dev machine as elsewhere? Can they not build an ARM flavor of their container? Same Dockerfile but with an ARM base image instead of an x86_64 base image?

I just looked up Apple's Security White Paper and it explains that the Bluetooth LE signal only includes a "short identity hash", and then the receiving device responds with its own identity info, and then the sending device

Meanwhile I was absolutely thrilled they made this change. I can't count the number of times I realized WiFi was off because I had temporarily disabled it earlier as I stood just on the edge of my network's range and forgotten to

AirDrop has to send out a hash of you so that way the surrounding devices that are set to "contacts only" can use it to determine if you're in their contacts list (and therefore that it should respond). I'm not sure why

Is the iPhone the major revenue driver for any carrier? What matters to the carrier is the plan they can sell you, not the price of the phone you're using with that plan. I could believe that iPhone users on average have more expensive

Tipping over $10 on a $20 order is not anybody's idea of a "fair tip".

Restaurants have to make up the difference for the whole pay period, not per-order, which means any individual tip goes 100% to the waiter. And restaurants expect that they don't have to make up the difference because waiter pay after

How does this help anyone evade anything? It's for notifying contacts when you're about to be detained, not for avoiding being detained.
