Reading up on sources that actively oppose your bias might be actively harmful if misinformation is widespread, though. If we define facts as indisputable evidence conveyed via trustworthy sources, then sure, go find more such facts that op

I was about to say I’ve seen it, but nope, I agree. Even putting it in context, like “1m43s” isn’t something I’d see often. “1 min. 43 sec.” is what I would expect.

True. But unlike a password, biometrics often also act as a second factor in that they authorize a particular device and can’t easily be done remotely. Even if my fingerprints were compromised, I’d probably continue using biometrics instead

Great. Now you’re reinventing JSDoc which is demoed here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript#_typ... What we’re talking about, though, is the reason the ES6 arrow syntax exists. And it’s not j

So we can run unmodified TypeScript code without needing to bundle inside Node.JS and other implementations of JavaScript such as JS Core. By allowing but ignoring types, you get the best of both worlds - optional type checking and runtime

Okay, but also at the same time we had XHTML with strict errors that would crash the webpage. As a result, nobody used it or wanted it in practical, messy, real world code. Since that backtrack, the Internet has always been about displaying

I’m a bit confused here. You can pick what colours to use? https://www.prepressure.com/library/file-formats/gif The gotcha is you’re limited to a small number of colours, unless you apply dithering to increase tha

Interesting. Just searched HN and it seems you’re right, it didn’t get much traction with developers, perhaps because it was billed as a facilitation toolkit and not about how to generate or validate better startup ideas, like Design Sprint

If you watched the keynote you’d be able to tie together mentions of BNPL and ML as features announced. I also thought that the demo showing cropping out content from an image was impressive - but it’s the type of “tent-pole” feature Apple

You need to know the product and if the product is software, you should be familiar with its quirks or can chat with developers at that level. You don’t have to know how code works to know something about how it works. Ideally, you should b

It’s true that in production, if it’s a security risk that IDs can be guessed, don’t make them predictable. But by that same logic you would have to stop using REST because it can let you guess an ID? This advice is classified as varies by

I’ve done that before too - but it’s always possible if you run tests often enough that you’ll get an ID collision that randomly fails a test and causes a developer some grief. Easier to not use random sources of data as a rule of thumb wit

Sure, but the M1 generally has a high-quality Apple screen (this laptop from HP advertises only “FHD” so - presumably 16:9 1080p and not Retina-quality 16:10…) and the Ryzen, though much less constrained than Intel still likely has a “boost
