I mistakenly gave you the impression that I was linking to the spec. I was in fact linking to the infomercial that had a summary of the privacy considerations. The actual spec can be found here: 1. Bluetooth: https://covid19-stat

Is your calculation correct? You only need to download the Diagnosis Keys. How would that be 48MB?

There is nothing wrong with being skeptical, I just think your objections are out of place. If you are really concerned then it's probably best not to use Android or iOS at all, who knows what data might be shared with the government w

Have you even read the spec before dumping your thoughts? They address the privacy concerns explicitly. A short summary: - Doesn't collect personally identifiable information or user location data - People who test positive are not ide

Exactly, this is an important narrative. I've read the spec and I'm really positive (hmm). This could be a game-changer for dealing with the pandemic in a systematic way.

Why do these articles always pretend to be so know-it-all? I really don't like the explicit statement that "Markdown got it wrong", leaving no room for debate. For everything that Gruber supposedly "got wrong", a lo

Ofcourse they are, I know a good bit of React and I can get a good understanding of any reasonably sized React project within a short amount of time _because_ it's a React project. People may still be people and do weird stuff, but tha

I cannot imagine a company dictating your Slack habits. If that happens, there is something else entirely at fault and Slack is not the problem. I see Slack receiving the same type of criticism agile work methods get, they all boil down to

Couldn't this be because doctors in hospitals only see patients who require hospitalization? That gives them a bias.

Side note: this translation by Google Translate is amazing. I am a native Dutch speaker and the translation is 100% correct. I had no idea Google Translate was this good.

Nobody is saying it doesn't make sense, but does it really need to be on the same bill?

Hosting a Jitsi instance myself. Very easy to set up and works flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Heat pumps have higher than 100% efficiency because they extract heat out of air / water. 100% is a very low efficiency for electric heating. Anything lower than 400% is considered below average.

Your statement is false. The Dutch railway system is of extremely high quality and is very punctional.

What does "deeply flawed" mean? Is there any proof Telegram has been severely compromized over the last years? It appers not, thus in my opinion it is impossible that Telegram's approach to crypto is "deeply flawed"

I like React Hooks, I like the simplicity. I dislike that it makes reading the code much more difficult. The code required to do a simple "componentDidMount()" is very abstract. It is difficult to reason about what a component doe

Am I the only one who doesn't notice a huge difference between 19.04 and 19.10? I wouldn't have noticed if these articles didn't explicitly mention the performance improvements to be honest.

I think VS Code and GitHub are mainly about branding and building a new reputation. Microsoft provides first-class development tools (VS Code and GitHub) to millions of developers every day now. Once this becomes the new normal to developer

Happy to read this here, somehow any topic related to Docker on here ends up with someone saying Docker brings nothing new to the table except for a propietary API and you could just as well use LCX or whatever. I can personally see from in

This is the only correct answer. So many times these questions are posed as a false dichotomy. The simple answer is: why not both? That being said, personally I thought for a long time that I didn't need to study CS and could teach mys

I get that Pop!_OS is nice, but Ubuntu 19.10 is super polished out of the box as well. Even though System76 is arguing it is much more than just a reskinned Ubuntu, my final verdict is that it is just a reskinned Ubuntu.

Besides some self-hosted applications, this is some stuff that is very useful to me: * Nextcloud - your own Dropbox! Amazing stuff. * VPN - simple Docker service that is super reliable and easy to set up (docker-ipsec-vpn-server) * Ghost -

Aren't you conflating "alone" and "lonely"? I think there's an important difference.

This comment is weird. What you're saying is exactly what Apple has been doing for 5 years straight. The iPhone has been getting thicker each year since 2014 (iPhone 6 was the tinnest iPhone ever), battery size has been increasing ever

Funny that this article doesn't talk about keeping warmth out. Whatever you can keep out you don't need to cool. So invest in: - Insulated glazing - Sunscreens in front of windows - Wall and roof isolation The nice thing about thi
