I use my Apple Watch which displays large format directions during navigation and gives you a little tap on the wrist when you're nearing a turn. Works great for driving cars or motorcycles, riding bikes, and walking.

A lot of comments here seem to miss the detail in the OP that this doesn't only affect Apple AirPods, but also Sony headphones (and likely others). Which is understandable considering that the submitted post title singles out AirPods f

If you read the OP, the Logitech devices also ruin the sound for Sony headphones. They're likely creating a large amount of interference, beyond what headphones can accept while still delivering acceptable audio quality.

This again focuses on the language rather than the environment. The real issue is all the legacy integrations, and the runtime environment, not the language. A transpiler is solving the easiest part while leaving all the difficult problems

With Chromium having decent Wayland support since a while now, I expect Electron apps will catch up eventually. A major DE deprecating Xwayland would give packagers of Electron apps a reason to get around to it.

Apple Pay is one. Also, in Asia it's very common for a website to display a QR code which you scan with your phone to make a payment, either with your bank's app or with a separate payment platform app. These don't reveal any

Disabling Xwayland, if you can, makes wayland a much better experience. Not possible for everyone, as you may have software that doesn't work on Wayland, but I ran my daily driver Arch laptop with sway and no X at all for years, everyt

Unfortunately people don't want to use them for small transactions, the UX is still often pretty unpleasant with a lot of banks, and recourse against the vendor for non-delivery etc isn't possible / isn't as smooth.

Not just porn. Try getting started in any business on Stripe's (or a similar provider's) list of restricted businesses, which are basically dictated by VISA/Mastercard. No mainstream payment provider will work with you, and t

C, C++, probably Rust, various other relatively boring languages. If Node.js is even still used in 30 years it won't look anything like today's Node.js.

What incentive does the US have to decrease SA power and stability, considering that they one of US's strongest partners in the region? All of the things you list seem like a negative outcome for the US.

by jhugo 4y ago
It's only leverage if you can describe the bad thing that would happen to SA if the conspiracy came out. From where I'm standing, the US has more to lose in this situation.

by jhugo 4y ago
What leverage exactly? Consider a major split between SA and US. Who do you think would come out worse off?

No experience with deploying anything from a closed source vendor on k8s — these experiences have been exclusively with OSS. Cluster-wide secret access is one of the worst I've come across, but smaller problems are virtually universal.

My #1 k8s nightmare is the widespread practice of just writing (or downloading and never even looking at!) YAML and applying it to the cluster, with no additional management layer (we use Terraform, but use whatever you want), meaning that

Does this work at the system call level, where it would detect e.g. any attempt to open ~/.aws/credentials, or does it rely on heuristic analysis of the code itself, which will always be able to be "coded around" by the

by jhugo 4y ago
There are very few situations where it even makes sense to have static credentials on an AWS instance any more. "Ambient" short-lived credentials from the instance profile and assumed roles are much safer.
501.
by jhugo 4y ago
Right, code analysis to try to detect places where it reads from ~/.aws/credentials is never going to be reliable. The correct approach is not to run untrusted code in an environment where it can read your AWS credentials.

Crypto in a Coinbase wallet isn't your crypto, it's a promise by Coinbase to give you that crypto when you ask. Of course if the government tells them they now have to attach conditions to that promise, they will do it — their onl

It's easy to prove that it sometimes regurgitates text verbatim — just play with it for a while. Having certainty that any given span of text/code is novel is extraordinarily difficult.

This isn't complicated at all. You copied the code, which isn't an issue until you then go on to do something which infringes the license (e.g. publish under a different license, publish binaries without publishing source, publish

You have no idea where they came from, or whether they are as new as you assume. Maybe they'd infringe, maybe they wouldn't!
