Cool, thanks! What are you doing for conflict resolution? In Windows we would just show a list of apps that registered for png or jpg, for instance, but over a low-bandwidth signal like speech that's kinda hard.

The problem with protocol activation is that there are a million different endpoints and you either * Keep a list of every single one that apps can opt into. This is how you end up with "midsized_sedan_carwashing" in an enum list

I wasn't terribly active in CTY - but the times I was involved it was excellent. I met other kids that could "keep up with me" (with perspective, that actually means "could fill in the blanks since I was bad at explaini

Unless I am very mistaken, GPL and MIT proponents came to a compromise on this very issue, resulting in the LGPL. This exact scenario (linking/using a GPL library without modification) was considered valid by both sides to the point th

Potentially contentious opinion, but one that's been echoed through our halls - Developing software and developing tests and test infrastructure are two different skills and mindsets that are often inversely coupled. It's not that

This is surprisingly not the case - for example, Detroit and DC city schools (generally seen as underperforming) spend 50%+ more per student than the suburban average.

Sorry, what's the connection between August and the UK? Based in the US, but I can't think of a specific month I'd want my tests to run in.

It's easy to say with confidence "These 6 people that I know well and represent are OK losing their jobs when you fine my company out of existence". It's much harder to say "I will defy you and in the process cost 1

Yes, that's about the deepest analysis I've been able to find beyond "gosh this is bad" (that much is evident and is not analysis), and given how much I like Amicus it's no surprise this is from Slate. I'm real

Is there any way this doesn't become a kangaroo court? My initial reaction is that no government will lend this legitimacy by appearing in court, and instead confiscate property in-kind while also pulling investments out of the US. I&#

No need - they just block the site, and Sven loses his $75k in revenue. That's the penalty.

by hirsin 10y ago
If Sven manages to sell $75,000 AUD worth of moccasins to Australians, he might reasonably have the resources to collect the taxes as well. That's not to say he will, but I feel that selecting 75k as a threshold falls on the side of &

Is the point of 2FA to show you have possession of another device, or access to another device? While I'm in the same boat and appreciate seeing the code above the fold, for really secure things I'd prefer the Deutsche Bank examp

There's a better opportunity in buying rundown/condemned places and selling them for 4-6x to overseas money who apparently don't look before buying. See "crackshackormansion" below - everything that's not a man

This should have been an enterprise play. Delta needs 5,000 devices with a built in credit card reader. Macy's needs 25,000 devices with a built in barcode scanner. Delta doesn't need a massive battery life, Kohls needs minimum

This is endlessly fascinating, thank you. I'm sure there's fun work being done by commodities traders using this type of data - sure enough there's a pricing section for API calls to their service. I would be curious to see

You compile it to each architecture before you send it to the Store. There's a compilation option to create a .appxbundle, which contains the bits for each arch. It's basically the same as iOS fat binaries.

The new ETW format is self-documenting at the expense of some overhead. You can set up hello world in ETW in about three lines of code [1], just create the logging channel and log a string or property bag to it. 1. https://blogs.

I think you may be misinformed. You can build an app and install it using VS. You don't even need VS, apps are just exe's in zip files. Compile and lay it out right and you're done. The Store isn't required to do any of

I didn't consider the de-anonymisation tactic of marking or communicating to an observer, that's a new tactic I hadn't considered. I was expecting a de-anonymisation scheme along the lines of fingerprinting how the device vib

You either need permission to get those up in their airspace, or really good G2A defenses :-) So no, probably not without really upsetting the government.
