   I'd love to see an approach that uses both FaceID and TouchID. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a future feature Apple will tout.

   There's definitely something to what you're saying, but I think in relation to the article/discussion, it's more about young people than it is about specifically people on the spectrum. My impression is that as program

   To some extent the 'culture' just moves on to different fields and/or subfields. For example, my experience has been that the cryptocurrency/blockchain 'culture' reached its zenith at a point later than the mor

   Anecdotally, very few people I know get the newest phone. In fact, most of them tend to get second-hand phones that are at least a generation or two behind. That said, these are generally on the middle- to lower-middle-class individuals. I&

   I think nobody getting a high-end phone can argue in any way that they're environmentally conscious, at least in that area of their life.

   Ugh. Bad commercial. Apple deviating from their dystopian earnestness rarely works out. Federighi sort of pulls it off, and I suppose the old "I'm a mac" commercials managed.

    Would you say that cheaper one is a bad option (series 3?)? I'm not too likely to get one any time soon, but the cheaper they get, the more I'm considering it.

    I imagine it's possible to buy a used Apple Watch and replace the 'solo loop', or did I misunderstand the presentation?

    Say what you will about the Apple spaceship campus, that was a pretty photogenic appearance it made.

    Handtrack.js, at least after playing around with both for a bit, seems to be significantly better too.

    I can't speak for OP, but my issue with react-router is that for just a single project I had to significantly change things as they kept doing things in completely new ways. Once I gave up and used page.js (or some other non-react-spec

    I love Bukowski but reading his work as 'seeing through' things doesn't strike me as a good approach. His 'seeing through' involved a lot of fucked up stuff, among them what seems like a rather unhealthy relationshi

    You might be right, but I'd be careful recommending any shared hosting that you aren't currently using! I 'upgraded' to using VPS', mostly Digital Ocean and Hetzner a few years ago. But before that I relied on sha

    The recommendation engine is bizarre too. I have had minimal interaction with the app, and follow a handful of people. Once I've read their updates, I get 'recommended' posts that are mostly pro-Trump stuff with the occasiona

    If you (like me) can't wait for the official release, use asdf to install the master branch. I've been using Elixir 1.11 for a while now and haven't run into any issues!

    in my late teens and early twenties my wrists started hurting so bad that I could barely use a computer. While over time things improved to the point where I only have pain after doing pixel-style photoshop work with a mouse, it made me pa

    Whether it's 'hydras' or something similar, the single thing that got me into properly using Emacs was this feature in Spacemacs. For almost any situation, I can either pull up the spacebar 'global' menu, or a conte

    My background is pentecostal/evangelical, and I was also a true believer well into my twenties. I mostly left on good terms with God; not being able to believe in his existence just made it difficult to be in a relationship. The expert

    While I agree with the other commenter that camping was always a cheap option, I think you're right on the money about GPS/weather/phones and young people. I think the problem is a result of a combination of tech as well as c
