I'm sure that fraudesters have attempted that trick and that they have a procedure to authenticate it.

I used to write a lot of apps for Mac. Including free and open source software. Now I have to pay $$$ and jump through hoops just to keep on doing it. It is amazingly arrogant for them to expect me to pay for doing them a free service. You

Apps are required to be notarised. You can turn the requirement off, but that doesn't negate its existence. I hope you and your mother are happy living without open source software. No good deed goes unpunished.

What is your source that margarine is more unhealthy than red meat? And what do you mean by "healthy" anyway?

Maybe so but your bank is not going to send money to someone unless they have proof that you are the one sending the order. I doubt you can just mail a letter to your bank and ask them to send money out of your account.

Forget snow leopard, Apple can't even keep compatibility for the version they released 1 year ago. When Apple announces a new OS update at WWDC you have approximately 4 months to install a beta on an external drive and fix any incompat

For me the last straw was notarization. I am not going to beg for permission to release software for Apple's platform. Considering the dire state of the Mac software scene Apple should be the ones on their hands and knees begging devel

Ads denying climate change should not be accepted by Facebook. That's a perfect example of untruthful advertising.

It's not just a school of hygiene and tropical medicine. It's their name. Just like MIT doesn't only offer degrees in technology.

But it's considered good practice in Haskell to keep IO out of the main logic of the program and basically use it as little as possible. Haskell is certainly not an IO-focused language like Go and Rust. The IO monad is almost more of a

There are plenty of good ORMs for Postgres if that's what floats your boat, but the advantage of Postgres is you can always drop down to SQL.

I find this incomprehensible. It's a disease. What does it matter if it is bacteria, eukaryote or virus? Medicine involves killing things that interfere with us and hopefully eradicating them completely. The whole "mosquito extinc

Install jupyter notebook and play around with numpy/scipy. Neural networks are not really for outright beginners, and tensorflow is doubly not.

For the same reason you wouldn't expect young children to lift heavy weights. Adults have much stronger muscles than children, including bladder muscles.

Having no visible toolbar / address bar is actually a pretty neat idea. When you think about it, it's not necessary for advanced users - it need only be shown when the user wants to interact with it.

How is that measured? I would think it would be rather hard to measure an activity that is illegal and clandestine. Also 'trafficking' is a term that needs a precise definition as it means different things to different people.

Access to doctors is something that every person needs be they rich or poor and something that must be accessible at a reasonable price. Being a doctor is a privilege granted by society on the understanding that society sets the rules of ho

Of course it's different. Being a programmer is just a job, whereas being a doctor is a privilege granted by society.

They were following Boeing's advice! Boeing said if MCAS misbehaves then pull the cutout. They did that but then they couldn't move the manual trim wheel because of the forces on the stabilizer. So they reenabled the electric trim

Yeah there are still many flaws in typescript's null checking, even in quite pedestrian code. The ! operator isn't evil, far from it, it exists so that the compiler can be more aggressive at checking nulls knowing that programmers

The well has been poisoned. If most ads were politely advertising local businesses, nobody would object. But the essence of advertising is to seek attention, and the inevitable result of that is ads that are obnoxious and discourteous. Even

If it's illegal to mute ads automatically, is it therefore illegal to mute them manually? How can automating a human function be illegal? Computers don't have legal capacity they simply do what humans tell them to. All computer ac

You were paying extra for the build quality. Not too many manufacturers mill their laptops out of a block of aluminium. Now the build quality sucks but the price increased.

Why is it necessary to replace all fossil fuels? You can keep gas turbine power plants around. I support nuclear power but it's very very expensive, even in meteorologically inactive places such as UK. Maybe India and China can make

It makes sense as a way of taxing a secondary residence, but for a primary residence it makes no sense. What if you are old, or disabled, or unemployed? Are you forced to sell your house to pay this tax?

The TV tropes article on value dissonance makes an interesting point on this: "That the age of consent is 16 or less in most of Europe but 18 in some US states gives rise to some dissonance when discussions arise about the attractivene
