If you're talking about the push notifications experience, then XEP-0357 solves this, but app developers have to host the infrastructure which the XMPP server calls back to and dispatches the notifications to Apple or Google. Last time

I went cold turkey off of citalopram when I was a teenager and it was a pretty unpleasant two weeks of heart palpitations, but the immediate benefit of no longer experiencing emotional blunting made me avoid taking any more antidepressants

Removing the escape key is what bothered me most as someone using Vim keybindings. It made it feel very unpleasant to edit code because the Touch Bar had no physical feedback. I still have a visceral memory of how much I disliked touching t

> Funnily enough, the EU guy who is leading this and doubling down, is Romanian. What is the relevance of your personal (and poorly informed) opinions about Romanians? It’s a needlessly low blow and it’s tiring to hear the same myths per

Clojure's implementation of `memoize` is here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/cloju... What were the special cases for your use case?

I participated in the study along with my former partner. IIRC, I was asked at a health check-up if I knew my partner's status, and then asked if we wanted to enroll. It just involved meeting a (very kind) doctor every 6 months, gettin

It seems pretty common to just type the extra letters in Romanian as their most visually similar Latin character. I've never seen anyone writing Romanian with digraphs when they're sending text messages, for example. "Bună di

This is off-topic, but the Gentoo installation guide that this page is a part of is one of the most comprehensive and accessible Linux guides I've ever read. It taught me a lot of Linux concepts that I never needed to use before when s

Not exactly. But there are definitely overtones of nationalism and anti-liberalism in what ministers were saying at the Conservative party conference and in recent anti-immigration proposals. They're also insisting on denying MPs and t

I've already suggested this as a replacement for my company's Informatica/Salesforce/Custom reporting setup, which is a huge, confusing, and time-consuming mess, for something that's really not business critical. Lo

I'm planning on moving from London to Berlin within 6 months (I'm British), and mostly for the same reasons (RIP fabric). I have a couple of German citizens as friends who are also seriously considering doing the same. My main con

Very nice. Is the function that determines whether a chord inversion is likely to be correct based on any sort of well-known algorithm? I don't have the musical fluency to comprehend what the intervals all correspond to. Seems like a n

Honestly, I've been using DuckDuckGo exclusively for a few years now, and I still don't use even half of the bangs or instant answer features. Occasionally the Wikipedia summaries are what I'm looking for, or I'll !defin

Don't forget seasonal affective disorder, or just the general influence on affects that cloudy weather has. Imagine waking up to streaming sunlight every morning. I can see that making a huge change in people's lives.

I agree with Ayn Rand's theory of economics insofar as it would work great if everyone only ever acted in their own self-interest. But there will always be exploitation if there are people who choose to act in ways that damage themselv

Would setting this precedent to enable brute-forcing the PIN on a less secure model really be that dangerous, then? This isn't a request to circumvent encryption on all models. It would be worrying if the government were asking for a b

How practical is it to run a simplified init program like this instead of systemd for a desktop Linux system? It feels like as a Linux user one has to make the choice between software freedom (and software ethics) and an easily maintained,
