Okay, now I get it, the naming makes autocomplete more convenient. Returning void makes it easier to spot errors. If you accidentally use "capitalizeInPlace" instead of "capitalizedString" your code will compile without

If you blindly trust anybody , you clearly don't value your privacy as much as I do.

Huh? The top level comment said something about Google search using SSL and "clicking through certificate warnings" which doesn't sound like server-to-server connectivity to me.

Two reasons: a) The author might disagree with my asessment. A pull request would imply that I consider it an error, but I think it's more a question of style. b) I already waste too much time on HN. Forking a project, trying to unders

I'm not really sure I understand; why would calling the method "capitalize" instead of "capitalizeInPlace" be inconsistent? (Also, the comments in the header file and the README file contain the name "capitaliz

One thing that irks me is that the author doesn't stick to ObjC naming conventions. Take for example the capitalize methods. In ruby, you have "capitalize" and "capitalize!" to distinguish the immutable and mutable

But 2FA doesn't protect you from even a single compromised device. If the computer you use to access the service is compromised, an attacker can simply intercept your next login attempt. The only difference is that in the case of CLEF

I am pretty sure that possesion of device and typing PIN into the same device qualifies as 2FA. A spy that watches you type your PIN can't log in without your device. At the same time, a thief that steals your device, but doesn't

Big thanks to the author for posting this, and for including some actual numbers! This is also exciting because it shows that you can make money directly with an open source product, instead of making money with services surrounding a produ

This method tries to correct specific lens errors. To do this, you need very good intensity resolution. If you have poor intensity resolution, information is lost and the lens errors cannot be corrected anymore. In low light, the signal to

You are right. I made my statements in reference to claims in the article like "This technique (...) may some day provide a software alternative for those who can’t afford high-end glass". The technique can definitely improve the

Heh! This is especially true for SIGGRAPH! Just take some ten year old physics / engineering paper, implement the algorithm on a GPU, done! To be fair, SIGGRAPH has a strong focus on applied work, and the contributions are often extrem

There's pretty much nothing I can do. One competitor even made an icon almost identical to mine. I contacted Apple, but all they did was forward my complaint to the competitor. The competitor first sent me a threatening email, but then

It varies month to month, but around 70-80% of my revenue is from MAS. Additionally, selling on MAS is so much easier. I don't really have a good reason why I'm even selling it outside MAS.

But then I'd need to support SSL for all domains hosted on the server, and this would mean getting 5 certificates instead of one.

I think that this animated GIF is actually very bad advice. 1) They remove axis labels, forcing the reader to infer the axis from context. 2) They remove the horizontal lines, making it harder to compare different values visually. 3) They r

It's amazing how many people use WD40 as a lubricant. It's good for loosening stuck parts, but using it as a lubricant will wear parts quickly.

It's often quite surprising to read the ingredient list on these smoothies. They consist largely of apple juice concentrate, and rather small amounts of the fruits advertised on the front.

You are making a bad assumption: that the EU only regulates customer pricing. This is not the case. The roaming fees that operators can charge one another within the EU are also regulated. I'm not sure about exact numbers, but at the m
