Is there an article or blog post somewhere about what Facebook's deployment process is like? It must be a massive operation.

But... how on earth did that escape QA? I mean surely even whoever was developing IE8's developer tools would have had accidentally forgotten a console.log() or two during development, surely?

I don't get it. Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this in any way novel? You can get a cheapish acoustic levitation kit from Tindie[1], and inductive power transmission is hardly a rare technology these days, so where's

Off topic, but I have never understood Wikipedia's intense drive to rid itself of anything interesting or unusual or esoteric. It's text in a database, you're not running out of space, nor are you diminishing the quality of o

I did not know that, and it's a sad sign of the times that at no point when reading what you wrote did I think anything more than "huh, figures".

There's a big difference between what Apple is using to perform FaceID scans and the APIs it exposes to developers. Apple has historically been very cautious about the access it gives to developers, especially where matters of privacy

Apple's support forums aren't a place where Apple provides their users with support, they're where Apple users seek support from other Apple users, mostly unhelpful and often inaccurate support. In fact, 99% of the time the o

Given the vast distances involved, I've always thought first contact would be much closer to this short story by @qntm: https://qntm.org/retrospective It's a fantastic read, set aside a few minutes to go through i

Smartphones are already more powerful than the desktop computers of, say, a few years ago and are already capable of comfortably running a browser and an office suite without any performance problems. So it isn't a question of computin

Sure, and we'll never need more than 640k of RAM, either.

Not just that, but the Liberals presented Turnbull as some sort of masterful IT expert on the extremely flimsy pretext that he made a shitload of money flipping an ISP two decades ago. He has a slightly better grasp on some areas of technol

Hello HN, I find it easier to learn through practice and repetition so I made this little game to help me with resistor colour codes. At the moment it picks a random E12 resistor value, but at some stage I'm hoping to have time to upda

Turning off "ask to join networks" also stops your phone from connecting to open networks automatically. It will still autoconnect to networks that you have previously connected to, though, unless you explicitly tell it to forget

Is it more or less annoying than having to dismiss the list of available wifi networks? This change might be inconvenient for you personally, but I suspect there's no way in hell Apple would have made this change if they didn't ha

I'm sorry but you absolutely did. You were asked whether you "accept that [turning off mobile data, wifi, and bluetooth and only re-enabling them when you explicitly need them] is a ridiculously small minority use case", to w

You don't accept it on what possible grounds? Do you really think the majority of iOS users, or even a sizeable minority, use their phones in the way you do?

So why not just actually turn your wifi off? They didn't remove your ability to do so, just changed the way you do it.

Personally, I vastly prefer the iOS ecosystem precisely because apps are silo'd and sandboxed. I have never had to worry about whether I can store data securely on my phone, never had to worry whether any particular app I've insta
