Well, it would require JS, but you could turn it into a button to show/hide an HTML tooltip or additional displays of the time. That iOS supports a mouse (in accessibility settings) or an Xbox controller but doesn’t properly support an

Theoretically, you could have a dump of staging data that your prod script could read and use. What’s key here is recognizing that staging and prod don’t have to talk to each other or be trusted, as such. Instead, what’s trusted is the depl

The real question might be if having it in one place makes monitoring and revocation easier than distributed trusted systems? Also, traditional passwords/secrets don’t expire, and if they do expire, how would you maintain trust in a di

It's very likely we'll hit a point where the connector (Type-C) doesn't change, but the cable standards do. Just like how USB Type-A has been very stable, or HDMI, DisplayPort and mini-DP. That said, I don't see USB Micr

Used to be there were competitive Manitoba plans but Bell bought MTS and those disappeared (now you maybe save $15/month vs the half price it used to be). It’s just a matter of time before one of the big three buys SaskTel, either Bell

A follow up, if ES6 JS doesn’t come easy to you — pick a language you like best and look for its equivalents to Set, Map, .filter (or select) and .map (or collect). Bonus tip, look for .find or .first, to short circuit looping and stop at t

It was popular briefly on HN back in 2015, so it had a late start compared to Mongo which was maybe 2012? And the commercialization of memcached was perhaps noticed most by PHP devs, as memcached is common enough with Wordpress and Drupal,

Exactly. Also, things keep getting reinvented, often with something beneficial added but usually also something worse than what we used to have. So the perspective of past knowledge can often help you understand some aspect of the new stuff

You’re not kidding about the email. It’s email or manual polling, no webhooks. Strange. Well, I can suddenly imagine a lot of CI servers will be running SMTP. ;-) > After uploading your app, the notarization process typically takes less

You could potentially outsource the signing to a CI service that has the requisite Apple hardware though.

At least once a year, something I buy from a US retailer for shipping to Ontario, Canada ends up in Ontario, CA if it transits from a Pacific time zone. It’s rather frustrating to have that extra delay, and I’m sure the shipping depots that

As other posts pointed out, I believe it moved from the compiler to Windows SDK, because it was not considered compiler-specific any longer. Not sure if that addresses all of the complaint. I’d be first in line to say that the mess Microsof

I’d suggest this is the opposite, this is Microsoft changing their ways for the better. It’s really hard to open source legacy code, this new code should be the restart of open source releases going forward, and who knows, maybe they’ll upl

Apple does do device discovery, but it then lets the app show the device names, in fact it’s a requirement to play audio over Bluetooth and a key usability feature of wireless headphones. If your music app doesn’t tell you which device is c

You misunderstand, it’s not for playing back audio as such, it’s for detecting when the headphones connect as well as (maybe?) enabling easy set up of speakers with Spotify Connect. Similarly Dropcam had a setup mode via Bluetooth, Google H

It's arguable that they might, actually, add this in the future, but ... it would probably show up as part of how you can use TypeScript to type-check your JavaScript code such as when it infers types from JSDoc.
