Thank you for the full explanation! I could tell that there was a difference between the noun and adjective usage, and I now have a much better understanding of what it is.

It is, but I would say that on an axis of: Stupidity <——> Silliness …Dummheit leans slightly more towards silliness than pure stupidity does in English. I think Dummheit can be both an adjective and a noun, right? The latter, “eine Du

What was the touch technology used in those days? Is it capacitive, or something else? Is there a film over the glass screen?

There are plenty of examples of SF government being wasteful, but this does seem pretty reasonable to me. Most cities can afford to be less concerned with the “tamper proof” feature, and when you add that to the other requirements, it’s not

$2.5bn revenue last year. You've heard of streaks (which were a very early feature), and you've probably heard of Stories too, right? Video ads appear in between Stories video rolls.

Most people have only one spouse and many friends, and probably more people claiming to be friends if they hear there’s money in it.

I learned this about 8 years ago and have been doing it ever since. You also develop good muscle memory for the motion, so I can typically grab both laces and tie them without looking.

1) Caching: a cache is used in front of the API for things like product listings, it uses a pattern match like /api/products/*, and caches routes which match. Someone accidentally configures it to cache /api/*, and

Thank you for your service. I couldn’t place it!

Dang, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the work you do here. I've seen you engage with posters in this way so many times (though this reply is particularly loquacious!). I'm always struck by how unusual that level of e

This is a really funny and pithy description of both HN and reddit - and according to Google, you're the first person ever to say it.

> How does a virus spread primarily by aerosols/droplets travel 7 miles across a city of 10 million people? Presumably the same way it travels 25,000 miles across a planet of 7.5bn people - via the people.

Sure, but just listing those headlines without any details is quite reductive. That USPS employee had a full bag of over 800 pieces of mail, 3 of which were ballots [1] I haven’t been able to find a specific story about ballots in the trash

My understanding was that there is no need to involve Objective-C if you’re directly interfacing with C. That interop is direct/seamless, and works on Linux etc. even without Objective-C or Darwin [0]. But the C++ story is what you’ve

I believe the real answer is that they do keep it (at least sometimes) for chargebacks but not for regular refunds. I've seen the discrepancy in our own accounting, and as mentioned elsewhere, it's in the App Store terms. But Appl

It is true, and I don’t see anyone on that thread saying it’s not. I see a guy confused about whether it’s the consumer or developer that eats the fee - it’s the developer. This is exactly how it works: * Customer pays $10 * Apple owes deve

I can't quite believe my own arithmetic but... that would mean the page is larger than 30 minutes of video streamed using the new codec. Can that possibly be correct? Calculations here, someone please tell me I'm wrong: The capt

I already replied to your other comment but in the interest of correcting this misinformation, you can neither ship your bricked device to Sonos nor bring it into a Sonos store. https://twitter.com/sonossupport/status&#

They don’t accept the old speakers (let alone pay for shipping), they ask you to bring them to a non-affiliated recycling center. They are never reactivated.

About 10 years ago when I worked at Jagex, the creators of RuneScape, there was a sci-fi MMO project (basically sci-fi RuneScape) happening. I didn’t work on it, but a lot of people did, for 2-3 years. It was cancelled before release, I thi

You have to support thousands of different devices, most of which are significantly lower spec than iOS devices. Also, the OS is usually running more concurrent processes than iOS, reducing the resources available to your app even more. If

It's correct, which you can verify by looking at the the "Image Size" field, which is 4032x3024, i.e. 4:3 landscape - to achieve the portrait photo shown, this must be rotated.

That might be why it was posted. Someone mentioned the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. But is there a word (other than meme) for the concept of a mass media reference obliquely triggering a resurgence in interest in a non-current topic? You see

Are there any videos of the Two Trees tech, or does that not do it justice? How far out do you think consumer AR is realistically?

I think hiring short-term contractors for a quick scale up is the practice most at risk. Let’s take an even more constrained role like customer support - say a company wants to hire more support reps over a period of busy sales like Christm

Spotify used to not handle this well, but now it works perfectly. They also support special-case DJ playlists for EDM etc: you can listen to the full track if you play it individually, but cue points and fade duration are stored in the play
