Requiring HTTPS for services on the private network seems rather extreme. How do you even do HTTPS on a private network not attached to some publicly-resolvable external domain without installing the root certificate on all devices?

I don't understand the "I have a macOS laptop, and I use Arch Linux on a different computer" claim. If anything that's an even better time to use Nix, because it means I only need to know one package manager instead of t

On the contrary, I find it super helpful to set up my workstation. I don’t use any other package manager on macOS these days, everything is Nix, fully declarative with a small script that basically does `nix-env --install` (but with the fla

I don’t know about Erlang but typically language-specific packages are handled with a tool that converts from the language-specific package management system into Nix, and that tool will do whatever validity checking you normally expect fro

No, the quote block is correct. It was quoting a HN comment (which includes the typo).

That file is new in Unicode 13. Also I think it might be based on Apple's behavior. I just tested every single emoji codepoint listed there, and it's almost entirely consistent with Apple's default rendering. And the very few

No this is still terrible. The bare minimum here must be 'If you cancel, all of your private presentations will be deleted.' with a tick box that says 'I understand - delete my private data'. I should not have to go do a

Presumably a certificate issue there too, just one that hasn’t been (publicly) diagnosed yet.

My recollection is for the textual characters that got repurposed as emoji, it’s implementation-defined as to whether the character defaults to text or emoji but that most renderers opt for emoji (which I believe is copying Apple’s decision

I'm honestly surprised at Firefox's behavior here. I thought all of the browsers years ago identified homoglyph attacks and deployed defenses. For example, in Safari, this domain does render as https://www.xn--80ak6aa92

FWIW shellcheck can help flag cases where you used a bashism in a file with the #!/bin/sh shebang.

That's just for the login shell. It still ships with /bin/bash, and /bin/sh still by default invokes bash (in sh compatibility mode). However there is a systemwide flag you can set to make /bin/sh run dash

The problem with delayed ACKs is that requires controlling the server. If you control the client, you can’t remotely turn off delayed ACKs, so instead you have to disable Nagle’s algorithm.

Did Apple demand that people pay the out-of-warranty repair cost price on HomePods bricked by this update? Because I feel like that would have been a PR disaster that would have been newsworthy. But all I can find right now is a reference r

Isn’t that for suggesting songs based on search results, or triggering songs with Siri on your phone? That’s not the same thing as using third-party music providers on HomePod.

I’d really like to see a future where HomePod Minis with the U1 enable my phone to precisely track its own location as I move throughout the house, with automations as I go from room to room, or with songs following me between rooms, or let

I’ve never even heard of a HomePod bricking itself, nor does it sound plausible that Apple would charge to fix a device they bricked themselves, especially at $1 less than the price of a new device. I feel like you’re omitting something her

This sounds reasonable, but personally I prefer the PhantomData as it makes it immediately obvious to the reader that this is a zero-sized type.

n is any arbitrary number? Oh. Also I just realized I was reading this previously as x and s being fixed values and saying “if x % s is 0, (n * s) has n values”. Hence the confusion.

Yes I saw, but they still need definitions. I shouldn’t have to read the paper to know what the comment is trying to explain.
629.
by lilyball 6y ago
The code comment uses variables ‘n’ and ‘s’ without defining them. From context I gather ‘s’ is the upper bound, but what’s ‘n’? And when it says (n * s) numbers contains n values, I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean either.

That’s the exact opposite. That’s eagerly loading all defined functions. autoloading means the function isn’t loaded until it’s used.
