At the time, the phrase I remember most was “A coalition of the willing,” in reference to countries who found either agreement or benefit in going along with the US plan: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the

I’m not sure that argument holds up against a system like this. Who says the context has to be one-sided? It can still be authoritative. If anything, this highlights the apparent need for such an engine if it can appropriately source such s

Without any context, Apple’s Dictionary lookup serves up the definition of “cromulent” from both OED and New OED entries. It was apparently added in 2017 according to a Reddit thread, and in 2018 according to this list: https://p

So the answer is yes, both are true. On the one hand, a plist can only contain strings, floats etc. On the other hand, an app can use plist files to store whatever it likes, just as a text file doesn’t limit you to plain text if you want to

Just wanted to chime in that you can, in fact, convert old ASCII plist files to modern JSON and XML and then convert them back: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46929480 shows how to use plutil in one direction, and you can

You're using the transition that everyone wanted to point a rosy picture. Everyone wanted Intel chips and Wintel compatibility. PPC was too slow, too hot. Fact is, until they can get nVidia GTX compatibility or quality, there will be a

The page you're citing contradicts that statement -- they will not be 100% off x86, but instead will offer 100% of their products with the option of buying an Apple ARM chip: > This transition will also establish a common architectu

There's a difference. If your FIDO2 key has biometrics (such as touch ID) then it's still a FIDO2 key. It means if it gets compromised (lost or stolen, for example) then you need both the device and the biometrics to gain access.

Biometrics are simply the equivalent of tapping a FIDO2 button. They don’t increase security as much as they are a signal to authorize that prevents less dedicated users from opening the device. The device, not the biometrics, provides the

If you can get used to some oddities, Xcode works well enough for any C++ code you write yourself, or have enough control over to make sure you follow the conventions it expects. But if you need CMake support within your IDE, CLion's w

Neither password is secure once it leaks, though. That’s the problem when people pick a secure password but then use it everywhere. This is why password managers are mandatory for secure passwords. iOS has the right approach: they suggest r

True. And folks here still set up Android boxes for international packages, sports streaming, watching TV shows immediately after they air, etc. But it's a lot less frequent. I can't imagine as many people would use BitTorrent to

Spotify has a free tier. Netflix and Disney+ are far cheaper than their cable equivalents, and while they don't have free trials, they can be shared with enough people as to be effectively free at scale. Cheaper than a coffee per user

Also on a modern Apple device, you can use the Secure Enclave AES Engine to perform encryption and decryption. You can also use the Public Key Accelerator (PKA) for RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) signing and encryption algorithms

I don't know what language you're using on Lambda that requires x86 compilation, but if you search the web for "cross-compiling" you'll find relevant results. For example, here's someone using Graviton ARM to c

That said, according to that StackOverflow page, the error only appears in DevTools. That's not as bad as it sounded at first. I was worried it would be an IE-style alert on page load, for example, or a visible bar across the top of th

It’s a long PDF, and gets very technical in parts. If you’re short on time, an overview is on page 16, section 1.4 “Structure of the thesis”. For implementation advice and recommendations, skim section 7 and look for section headings and it

The reason this isn't a concern is because Bazel tries very hard to not let any system libraries or configurations interfere with the build, at all, ever. So it should rarely matter what platform you're running a build on, the goa

Sounds like Chrome, minus the build-on-the-customer's-machine part. Or like Homebrew, sort of. Also sounds like a malware dropper. That said, it makes sense. I would decouple the build-on-the-customer's machine part from the rest,

So can distributed systems? All you need is a queue in the right place or some other kind of data store? It’s relatively easy to decouple data models from processing, you just have to consider failure scenarios? I mean, the distributed non-
