When you want to run a local version of a service, you start it locally as normal and configure either local stubs of dependencies and dependents, or you can hook up the actual “production” services to your local service process. If doing t

Yes, but how is Mastercard encouraging me to spend more? In my day to day, it matters little which payment network I use since that’s abstracted away by the bank’s interface. What opportunity does Mastercard have to target me?

Maybe you should watch other creators then. IME better creators have higher respect for their audiences and create better, even entertaining sponsor segments. I have even been introduced to services I pay for now via these segments. Nebula,

This doesn’t make sense. If you’re going to generate a new key if the user doesn’t exist then you’re creating a new user anyway, so there’s no hidden information. Unless you mean that the system should return a bogus id instead of a status

I don’t think that’s an apt comparison. The smartphones of today allow us to do things unimaginable to people in the 80s. This startup doesn’t seem to be creating any new use for the technology in your phone, just changing the way you inter

The problem is the scale. WhatsApp groups of colleagues or friends have a very limited reach and exposure. People don’t suddenly wake up radicalized. They are introduced and brainwashed into it by other people via some communication medium.

It isn’t a bad thing. The repo is sarcastic in a good way, making fun of how we take incredible software for granted. It got me to pay for Sublime even though I haven’t used it in years. When I used it, though, it was the best thing since s

TUIs feel like the epitome of “they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”

The title, introduction, and length certainly are misleading. It’s incomplete even by it’s own promises, failing to touch many of the topics it lists in the beginning of chapters. It’s most advanced feature is compose, which is by all means

One comment regarding the video you shared. The tank shown implodes due to the atmospheric pressure, since they imploded it by creating a vacuum inside. The sub, on the other hand, would be under something like 350x the atmospheric pressure

It “exposes pretentious or false claims and ideas” made by Reddit and delivers receipts. That seems like the definition of debunking to me

I have no numbers to back me up, but my impression is that the majority of Reddit’s revenue comes from people browsing recently submitted posts, where they can inject ads. Old posts/comments with technical or insightful information are

r/usenet has a great FAQ about it[1]. In a nutshell, there are 3 things you need to use usenet. You need providers, indexers, and a software to download stuff. Providers are companies and servers where the data is actually stored, as o

You can ask ChatGPT which artists it’s able to emulate, and it’ll tell you. I asked for a few sample lyrics from its list and they were all as good as you’d expect.

The reality is that the line you draw is not the same as your advertisers’. As long as they remain the true customers of your service, not serving them will be bad for business.

I’m no expert, but last I heard Live Nation (TicketMaster’s parent company) owns the venues and the promoters. Essentially they make it near impossible to have a tour and play on large venues if you are not using their whole “stack” of serv

Apple isn’t the savior of privacy. Their privacy features will only go as far as they can market it, and only for as long as they can profit from it.

The “internal” app is essentially the same as the regular app. The difference is that it may receive beta features, there’s an easy “report bug” button and a side panel with diagnostics info, feature flags and other debugging tools.

I don’t think humanity has ever not been morally bankrupt. Politics has always been immoral. Industrialism has always been immoral. Slavery was commonplace. We used to have feudalism and nobility. Morals are only applicable to those who hav
