   I talk to Siri casually when I request her the few times a week I do. FWIW I say please & thank you too, and am opted-in to "Improve Siri" which Apple really ought to known to make opt-in from the start. I also have type-to-Si

   I don't think it's absurd to forego all this fancy crap that triggers through walls, and instead have a cute, local-to-device, privacy respecting app for logging contacts and locations. Brought your mom some bread today? Log it in

   I noticed that hand waving in the OP too. Any insight on how it manages not to harm non-virus stuff? (Not a biologist. Also you're using a lot of italics and it harms the readability at least for me.)

   It seems frowned upon to do so. The reasoning behind that it stops a lot large companies from using the code. JSON's don't be evil comes to mind. I personally don't feel like we should coddle their legal teams, but it is a go

   Recently did some framework shipping and wanted to plug Svelte despite not having deployed it yet. The approach of using a compiler instead of a framework makes a lot of sense and I personally believe it's the best way forward. I recom

   Hopefully nobody actually throws phones out. That bundle of molecules does not belong in a landfill. My library has a dropbox to refurbish old ones for blind people, for example, but I'm sure dozens of places will be happy to take them

   To be fair that's a pretty big thing to screw up. I commend Apple for a lot (see my last 3 comments), but I think they cross the line of too-voodoo too frequently. I think they'd do well to dispel more magic.

    FWIW the iPhone 5s received iOS 12, and has had a patch as recently as March 24th (2020). It was released Fall 2013. It was also the first 64-bit smartphone, and remained that way for more than a year from what I can tell. It also has the f

    It's cool, nice work. If you change "Why use our name generator" to something along the lines of "What is this" you'll probably get less people thinking it's parody.

    I wish the privacy policy linked to a site-specific one, not the generic /legal/privacy. Perhaps they couldn't get lawyers in time. Edit: oh, if you start screening there is a site-specific one if you click "Learn more&q

    Anything that doesn't directly match the styling of the content is mostly fine~ Even just to get rid of the "Ad" circle image and add "advertisement" in small caps on the top or bottom of the block sounds nice. I th

    Yo the native advertising is super deceptive on this. I figured it was an ad she made, not an ad ad. Don't they track that your outbound click performance? Either way please address it; it's not good for the planet.

    Thanks for working to correct that. Do you have a go-to reference for tags and their meaning? This blog post is actually a great intro to rust too :)

    Yeah I should clarify; I think it's well past the time of sh. Still, sh is unrivaled for portability and brevity/velocity; I wouldn't swap virtually any the shell scripts I've written for python scripts. I think sh is a

    Eh, I simply don't need bash. Every few dozen scripts or so I'll change the shebang to bash to have more than 1 array, but other than that I seldom pine anything that it has to offer. I believe it's a bloated mess along with

    Pass-by-global is awful. Make smaller functions that return (echo) a single string. Your bash is untestable, but that's just because of your chosen abstractions. Bash is just a proper script language with a weird string and implicit

    Y'all just have bias against the string system. Writing decent code in bash is just as possible as any other language. I stick to POSIX sh but same difference.

    Euh, I think a secure attention key is fine; you only have that chord sent to a designated trusted process; preventing other processes from being able to react to it and mimic an auth dialog. Am I missing something?
