Link in op is "unavailable in my country". Anyone have a non region-locked reference to this?

If they're well enough announced, you opt in by leaving the tab open. You can opt-out immediately by leaving.

What I've found works best for keeping access to photos restricted, is clicking on "Share" on the iOS photos app, and then selecting the target app (eg: FB Messenger). This means that the target app doesn't get access to

What if an app edits a photo? The exif location data would then be permanently lost. It's not as simple as that.

by hobarrera 9y ago
That doesn't really make it evident that letting an app access a photo lets it access the photos location. You and I both understand that that's metadata in the file, but non-tech users don't know that much -- they might simp

This is probably only something that tech-related people understand (and maybe some specific types of photographers and designers). The great majority of the population doesn't really know that "photos store location", let al

I'm amazed there's no mention of GitLab's Pages. They seem to be quite superior in this aspect. You can just configure CI to run any arbitrary script(s), and publish the resulting files. This also includes Jekyll (which is tr

Fire is extremely dangerous in Antarctica, even though it sounds counterintuitive. Firstly, it's hard to put out. Even though there's lots of frozen water, liquid water that you can throw onto a fire to put it out is lacking. Seco

I've been using the tests version of this for some time now. It's great. Keeping work/personal sessions from mixing is really useful (eg: I want my work google account whenever I visit gmail, but my personal one for youtube).

> mostly with Apple hardware. And on BSD/Linux (with avahi). And on Phones. Actually, I think ONLY windows does not use this, though the mDNS implementation (bonjour) for windows uses that too.

Using .local is just asking for trouble -- avahi/bonjour/mdns have used that pseudo-TLD for ages. Using that locally is a great recipe for things breaking.

by hobarrera 9y ago
This is perfect and great. I'd love to see gradually (yes, GRADUALLY, without breaking anything!) all TLDs do this. ".localhost" has existed and been popular for local development for MANY years. I've no idea why somebod

Yeah, each app varies a lot depending on where you live. HERE works fine in Argentina, but Apple maps will constantly send you to other continents (even if clicking on a contact's address that already has a preview of the map only a fe

I've found here maps to be far superior to apple maps. Apple Maps are still awful (I once wanted to go about 5 blocks from home, walking, and the app decided that the destination was cross the atlantic. Lots of things alike). DDG works

I do so when I need to charge it anywhere outside home. I don't bring a power adapter, just the cable. Also, for those who have USB-C laptops, it would mean one-cable to rule them all -- even if they don't plug the phone into the

FWIW, iPhone batteries are generally smaller than other phone's, so it should take less (they consume less generally, which is how they stay on-par with other phones).

Game trailers as ads? Over 95% of the stuff I watch on Youtube is gameplays, collagehumor and tech reviews, yet all my ads are diapers or clothing softeners. I've no idea why their algorithm sucks so much for my account.

It's funny that facebook is amongst the biggest on that list, when they don't actually seem to provide anything of use to the end user.

There's not option to pay for anything, so I couldn't pay even if I wanted to. IIRC, the registration screen even said it's be free forever. Given that they have extremely little metadata too, I actually wonder if they have

I've seen places (well, one place) that have "team meetings". You just have an informal group talk with a few members of the team, and just usually reveals a lot -- to both sides!

These ideas are great on paper, but in real life, don't really work. Most developers (especially senior ones) have their preferred IDE/editors/tools/etc. Forcing them to use a custom one for an interview, where they have

Yeah, but the returned data is completely different. On one case, you'd expect a new page which the browser would render. In the other, a response which is handled via JS.
