Not Face ID, but my wife’s sister could unlock my wife’s android phone with Touch ID. That should be pretty rare I guess.

I’ve almost entirely stopped using find and switched to fd, very simple options.. works pretty well for my purposes. https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

Whatever I was clearly “stunned” after watching the movie the movie in a theater. That’s what counts.

Been a very happy user of Linode for years. Didn't get lucky to have many users, but it worked perfectly for intensive backend jobs, never noticed any slowdown as opposed to DO.

Self hosted VPN on DO or Linode (where you're paying with your credit card) won't protect privacy, right?

Very interesting, I'm thinking of building a portfolio of Indian stocks with exactly something like this. What's the purpose of multiple Coffee cans?

Interesting, I've been using KeePassX(C) for over a decade too. I store the .kbdx file in a Dropbox folder and can access it from other devices. Never ran into issues with this setup.

Kind of sideways, but I’m tired of CGI these days, no matter how real it feels, you “somehow” know it’s not real. That’s why I like Mad Max Fury Road better than Dr. Strange.

This reminded me of the very first _big program_ I wrote in C. My cousin showed me steps to solve a magic square [0] and asked me to write the program. I did not have a computer at the time. So I wrote actual program on paper, ran it, debu

What's wrong with go? What C++ provides that go does not?

This reminded me of CDAC's GIST, for enabling Indian languages on computers, worked on it 2 decades back. https://www.cdac.in/index.aspx?id=mlc_gist_about

My team is working on a very large Elm codebase for over 3 years now, we got a runtime error in production only once (stack overflow when parsing an unusually large file, made it tail call optimized to get rid of it). I will consider it s

Any back end stack that can provide APIs, we're using .NET.

I read your comment elsewhere here defending the curlys and it does make sense, I was judging it prematurely. > Guess I'll end up adding a bracket-less version Don't make a decision just by listening to some random strangers li

After years of Elm, the moment I see curly braces in a language I immediately lose the interest. Curlys, semicolons are not relevant these days.

Edit: Redacted. See the comment by ecotable bellow -- Use more efficient tools or technical stacks where possible. I was able to bring down CI runtime from about 12 minutes to about 3 minutes, with some not-very-difficult changes in the co

Crypto experts are predicting insane valuations for BTC, at the same time USD value will drop (rather people will lose confidence in USD). What I fear is, will Uncle Sam just let the USD go down the drain and watch doing nothing?

Yes, of course and I've got the book as well. The problem with the book is I got stuck on the very first code example in the book. I know there's a forum for the book where ( hopefully ) I can get my query answered. My point is:
