I'm not saying it's realistic, but one could theoretically replace the sensor with a fake one that always returned the same data. That would allow the user to re-setup face ID and let unknowingly let any intruder in.

I visited China with someone who was from China but had been living in the US. It was a hot day and at one point I wanted cold water (which turns out is a very western thing and hard to get elsewhere) and the only option was a vending machi

You don't have to have already had an abortion yourself for this to be a critical issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the exact version of xcode installed" but you can compile most applications with any recent version. Of course when new SDKs are released you need to update the Xcode version but it's not a

I feel like they usually prioritize simplicity and readability instead of tricks, syntactic sugar, and one-liners. For example there's no ternary operator. Instead you'll have to write out a few lines of if/else. There's

Wow I'm actually pretty blown away! I use Go on a daily basis and have never seen it used anywhere or had any clue it was in the language. If you had asked me a few minutes ago if Go had goto I would have said "definitely not and

Really? I can't think of why I would want to use a goto in Python, and if I did it would definitely make it not "Pythonic". Python is 30 years old, is there any popular language created in the last 30 years that has goto? (An

I'd have to add coloring strings and language keywords to the list of exceptions before trying this. Strings are (imo) an obvious necessity, but I can't tell you how many times I've stopped myself from naming a variable a res

I use the K120 and when I bought first bought it a few years ago it was $12. I just bought another one and found it combined with a mouse (listed as "MK120" but really the same keyboard) for $15.

In this case they are actually "consuming" more wind. A normal sail "consumes" wind by taking moving wind and reducing its speed to 0. This "consumes" wind by taking moving wind and sending it back the other di

The people-mover has to expend more energy to push you because you're applying a stronger drag force, so energy is conserved.

UC salaries are public[0] and it looks like he made $219k in 2019, which is pretty decent for a professor but yeah $10k would still definitely be a significant setback. [0] https://ucannualwage.ucop.edu/wage/

Design mistakes maybe, but syntax errors are just not representative of any real debugging experience IMO.

Can confirm everything you said is true and that at Google you'll likely never see your interviewers once you start working there but at Apple you'll be working with your interviewers on a daily basis. It has upsides and downsides

I had a similarly bad Google experience that I've talked about before[0] but will copy here: I was asked to do a task that eventually boiled down to a topological sort, and I thought the question consisted of recognizing that the answe

Yep, I feel like anyone realizes when they first start playing around with NNs in a jupyter notebook that you get faster training on the CPU until you level up to bigger networks.

Yes it's legal but the people I've talked to don't do it. There's a stigma of renting over buying so the rent/home value ratio is way off compared to the US. Renting out the homes wouldn't really net much profi

That line matches for me if I add it to the grid, though it breaks other lines. Are you sure you're going the right direction? It should be going from the bottom left to the right (in the order of the the regex text).

I agreed that "B" does match. However, the puzzle needs to match the full line and not just a substring so "ZZZZZZ" or "B " don't.

by ladberg 6y ago
That's not the case... .(C|HH)* matches with single character followed by any number of C's or HH's. So " " or "B" would work but in the puzzle the full line has to match so those aren't possible

Huh yeah that could be right... I'll have to think about it more.
