Allowing third party payment systems does not mean they have to be less strict in the rest of their app vetting process.

But this is from a non-Apple app. You’re already on a page outside of Apples control.

Why are they using any language at all? Why not just let the app maker open the payment screen directly?

But vscode doesn’t just let you edit files on the remote, it runs everything on the remote: extensions, terminal commands, etc. If you’re working on a web project, it forwards ports so you can still visit localhost in your browser, even tho

Where is the Remote SSH extension code? I always thought that was closed source? Edit: The reason I think it is closed source is because a StackOverflow answer says so[1]. I’d be very interested in seeing the code if you could link to its r

I agree it's ironic, however they seem to use an inert version of the share button. The default share button by Facebook contacts Facebook when you view the page, doesn't matter whether you click the button or not. The one used by

There are two kinds of programmers: Those who think of strings as text, and those who think of strings as a sequence of bytes. The second group doesn’t care about the special case where a byte is all zeroes.

But what options are there? You pretty much must choose between Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

But really, who thought mixins was a good idea? It's the only place in the wild I've seen somebody bind $this when calling closures.

Ah, yes, like when people put in extraordinary amounts of effort to avoid sending a millibit (mb) of data over the wire.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. PHP has been faster than Python for a long time, but numpy is not written in Python, it's written in C. Just like PHP, coincidentally :)

Also, confusion seems to be something of a design goal for brainfuck?

I mean, in this case the developer really went out of their way to write bad code. TBH it kind of looks like they wanted to introduce an RCE vulnerability, since variable variable assignment is well-known even to novice PHP developers (who

The fact they're using `eval()` to execute variable assignment... They could've just used the WTF-feature in PHP with double dollar signs. $$var = $itm; would've been equivalent to their eval statement, but with less code and

I'm no mathematician, but I think that if you know something about the probability distribution before searching, then you can be more efficient than blindly using binary search. And if you assume Ballmer is out to get you (i.e. the di

I’m at the other end of things: I often have to parse column-aligned data. Sounds easy, except that values can contain spaces, are padded with spaces, are sometimes misaligned and sometimes overflow their column. Maybe you and I can make a

I thought such notices wouldn’t appear as long as the AirTag owner’s iPhone was also near the AirTag? Maybe their battery died though.

The more I work with git, the more I wish there was a rebase (including squash/fixup) which kept the original commits, but hides them. I’m not sure how that would work in practice, but there is value in keeping all change history, and

I've added a few passkeys to 1Password. It works pretty well on github.com, and sometimes on google.com. But apparently, passkeys.io bypasses 1Password and asks the OS for passkeys? So passkeys.io doesn't actually work for me, unl

I don’t think they’ll lower the price for Apple Vision Pro, but if they can get good performance out of cheaper components they might release an Apple Vision Air I guess. Not happening anytime soon though.

I don't think this is a problem with Digital Ocean. Some googling makes me think this is a configuration issue with Shiny Server: https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/issues/326

I can't be the only one who dreams of a radically different successor to Linux when I read stuff like this. Like, why do I need to care about file descriptors? Why is everything a file, except its not because it can be a socket, or a p

This reminds me of the Pirate Bay. They were so sure they could get away with doing what they were doing, because the law didn’t specifically prohibit it. In the end though, it turned out that the judges had common sense and could distingui
