Apple removed support for kernel extensions, and instead added a bunch of APIs that allow to do network filtering etc in user space. Unfortunately, some of their networking code just bypasses those network filter extensions (probably becaus

getaddrinfo() is not a legacy API, it's a standard cross platform API for doing DNS lookups.

I think the goal of Swift on the server, or embedded Swift, is mainly to offer Mac and iOS developers a way to write everything in the same language. Right now, my Mac app depends on a few simple web services that are written in a different

Please re-read my comment carefully. I never claimed undergoing an MRI with metallic implants was safe, in fact I stated the opposite: "A force will act on them, and this force can cause complications" The only thing I strongly di

It really depends on whether the capacity is fixed or not. If capacity is fixed and demand is unlimited (eg. because you just can't get more EUV light sources this year) then you should probably run as close to 100% utilisation as poss

I think following through on the crazy thumbnail is the most defining part of the MrBeast brand. Lots of Yt videos have crazy thumbnails; only MrBeast follows through!

Espresso machines are made from copper, brass, and chrome. The chrome plating typically comes off quickly from the filter handles, exposing the bare brass to the coffee. All that stuff ends up in your coffee (where else should it go?). This

MRIs don't accelerate objects instantaneously. If you look at the experimental setup, you'll see that they placed objects inside a pipe that allows them to accelerate with very low friction. Implants inside the body cannot acceler

Here's a different take: Criminals and fraudsters will abuse pretty much every technology they can get their hands on. As a consequence, every service operator needs to do their part to prevent fraud and abuse. If you offer a service a

I really don't get how bomb threats can be considered "speech". Like, there is no benefit to society from allowing people to make bomb threats.

I disagree with that rule. I get that people spell liter, gram, meter in lower case, but units based on names of historic persons like Volt, Ampere, Coulomb, Pascal and Kelvin deserve to be capitalized.

Did they fix autofocus in the X100 line? I had an X100T, and the multi-point autofocus somehow focussed on the wrong thing 50% of the time.

A high end camera is probably one of the least wasteful electronics products. They last at least a decade. Just a few weeks ago, I sold my Nikon D70. So even entry level DSLRs stay useful for 20 years. There are few products with such a lon

Here's my experience from the last ~12 years as a full time solo developer: 1. I use Github issues to track features and bugs that I am working on. It's useful because sometimes I come back to a feature months (or even years) late

I'm not sure how health insurance works in the US. In Europe, health insurance and social security is just a percentage of your wage. So for the employer it doesn't matter how many hours you are employed, taxes and health insuranc

For cashiers, hiring two part time employees is preferrable to one full time employee, because you can have their shifts overlap to cover peak hours. It's the reason why cashier jobs are almost all part time. They don't hire full

This is quite a one-sided take. What makes Telegram unique is: 1) They have access to almost all the content 2) They try to use arguments about jurisdiction to avoid helping law enforcement with lawful requests All the other messaging platf

Allergies seem to come and go. My partner developed allergies against many local fruits in her early twenties, to the point where she could barely eat any fresh fruits without her lips and throat swelling up; but most of them subsided in he

why can't online universities have TAs like real universities? Pay for a course, have someone who completed some more advanced course grade your work or provide one-on-one feedback!

Yeah, I feel that a lot of EU projects work that way. I've participated in a bunch of EU projects in the academic space. Most of them were catastrophic failures if you just looked at the direct outcomes (few of the lofty goals were act

Most low-level infections probably go unnoticed, and won't show up in the study at all. Some days the kids are just a bit off, and taking their temperature shows slightly elevated temperature (37.2°C in ear). I'm pretty sure they

7 min mile is one kilometer in 4:20. You need to be pretty fit to run that fast, especially over longer distances.

What I am trying to say is that there is no strict difference between "user interests" and "corporate interests". Companies in general don't want reliable data for the fun of it; they want it in order to provide ser

I think you are stuck in an "us vs. them" mindset. It's not all consumers vs corporations. Consumers actually want to use services offered by companies, and willingly accept what you consider drawbacks. We want accurate traff
