The ads are garbage because Google didn’t want the ads to be hyper optimized and hyper targeted to you. It gives people an uncanny valley feeling. Meta takes a different approach and people often accuse Instagram to snoop on their conversat

That’s usually done not on the network side but through the device itself. Think MDM and endpoint management.

It’s still terrible. There was a brief period immediately after Heartbleed that it was rapidly improving but the entire OpenSSL 3 was a huge disappointment to anyone who cared about performance and complexity and developer experience (ergon

I just read the Reddit post by their developer and my takeaway is that they have a very good understanding of “unlimited” really means. It’s not a shenanigan. It’s just calculated risk. It’s clear to me that they simultaneously intend to of

The first time I got into Emacs and vim I also spent way too much time on the editor customization spiral. Then in 2015 I just picked and settled on Spacemacs while strictly limiting how much time I spend on customizing my editor. I’ve had

I have friends that do that and it’s intentional. Had a good time at a store or restaurant? Take a selfie and upload to Google Maps. Also take a selfie video and upload to Instagram stories. It’s a way of life that defaults to more sharing.

Hole-driven development is especially useful when at the end of the workday your brain is fried, or when you are simply not in a good mood to understand all the type definitions. It allows you to defer your understanding and still make prog

Build tools that enforce hermeticity (cannot depend on files not declared as a dependency) and hashes files (as opposed to using timestamps). This eliminates whole classes of complaints against make.

Since we are talking about Haskell, its type system can be explored to answer the question of what is considered a Property by the quickcheck library. The Property type is a datatype for which the definition is private. So we look at functi

The security-scoped bookmark is exactly why a user should treat all macOS file access permission prompts as permanent. There is also no UI to show to a user whether an app has created a security-scoped bookmark. And this is for sandboxed ap

It’s working properly in the sense that the Apple-provided file picker UI is designed to give permanent file permission access to an app. But the user thinks that access is temporary. It’s a mismatch between the user’s mental model and what

It is poorly written. I have suspicion that the author is talking about the persistent file permission mechanism known as Security-Scoped Bookmarks, but the article makes it hard to understand what exactly is being discussed. It reads like

No. They recommended disabling it at the app level. Only the Signal app can control whether the message contents are included in the notifications.

As a pedestrian I slapped a panel of a slow car that failed to yield to me at a crossing. The driver glared at me and looked ready to reverse into me. I never slapped any panel any more.

Economic growth comes from spending. Households must be incentivized to spend either through inflation or low interest rates. Buying stocks hoping that it would appreciate doesn’t work when there is no economic growth. So we are back to squ

Although nuclear energy produces no carbon emissions, it is simply not price competitive with solar and wind in the western world. A culture of safety above all else made nuclear not price competitive. And it would be political suicide for

Even if your authorization is so sophisticated that nginx cannot do it, a common pattern I’ve seen is to support a special HTTP response header for the reverse proxy to read directly from disk after your custom authorization code completes.

Well btrfs supports compression so that’s understandable. However I personally prefer to control compression manually so it only compresses files marked by me for compression using chattr(1).

Mild inflation is a good thing, at least according to modern economists. In a deflationary environment, money is worth more when you don’t spend them. And when people don’t spend them, there’s no economic growth. It’s just like having very

You seem to imply that Charles de Gaulle and his policy of converting dollars to gold caused the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. That was a myopic view. The whole Bretton Woods system was doomed from the beginning due to design defect

It’s exactly the opposite. Last time France was trying to exchange USD to gold. This time France was selling gold presumably exchanging gold to USD in New York.
