I'm trying to go in this direction with an API I'm building at the moment in PHP: https://github.com/smolblog/smolblog-core/tree/feature/api-b... It uses a combination of definition-in-code (al

Isn't that the goal, though? The best arguments I've heard for casual ad-blocking is that you can't trust the code running through ad networks. If we take the ad networks out of the equation (first-party analytics and ads), I

What kind of car clock is easily adjustable? Serious question.

Best guess: either (1) it maps to internal values that macOS uses, or (2) they wanted to build in the potential to have more granular values later.

There’s further discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095438 Essentially: the phoning home is checking hashes of developer certificates to make sure they aren’t revoked.

I agree for the most part; the exception would be if I were running the small machine as a server. I know this is outside of most use cases, but if I were buying a machine to have on all the time (Plex, email, whatever), I'd want to at

The problem I’m starting to see is that the continued use of phrases like this (master/slave, blacklist/whitelist) can be a constant reminder to some that they “don’t belong here.” Obviously, in this context, they aren’t meant to

I don’t know; I clicked hoping for some step-by-step instructions on giving myself a more horse-like body. 0/10, article did not deliver.

Same here. High interest on savings and free ATM usage on checking.

Was hoping for free, but honestly? If I’m serious about having good data, I’ll pay the $9/month to not be dependent on Google.

This. When I lost my job in 2013, I considered making an attempt at a freelance/contract career. That stopped when I got a rejection letter (not an increase in price, a full-stop rejection) from my preferred open market insurance provi

From their calls for part-time/contract devs, I think it's largely a Rails stack.

Welp, that means we won’t be able to blame Activision for any stupid decisions from here on out... I do wish Bungie the best here. I also suspect that the next installment will be more of a “$x/month for everything” instead of the “$x

Both. I prefer using Bootstrap because I know the shortcuts, but if I need to duck down into some @media(max-width) I can. I also have a much better idea of the concept (it’s not just a lack of a fixed width; it’s changing font and element

I have a similar mindset: I had no idea how to approach Responsive Web Design. I learned Bootstrap. I now understand Responsive Web Design along with Grid Systems.

Tumblr's been on the App Store for ages. I think the recent de-listing was about child exploitation, not general porn.

Regardless of how one feels about the policy itself (for the record, I do side with you for the most part), the way they are implementing it leaves much to be desired: First, they're deploying a machine-learning algorithm that simply d

> There's no FaceID (yet, maybe it's coming) on laptops, so we don't need the ML chip. With Apple's focus on on-device ML, I would guess this will be the first part of the A-series trifecta (CPU, GPU, Neural) to be in

After seeing Jim Cramer mention on camera the idea of putting out a false Apple rumor (example given in 2006 was "The iPhone is being delayed"), I'm less inclined to write off conspiracies in this regard. Don't know that

You're welcome! I'm a sucker for a good meandering, low-stakes mystery.

You don't even need to make your own community. The $5/month is for hosting; if you host your blog yourself (they recommend WordPress), then it's free. And given the broad sentiment expressed in these comments, they could do

Why not both? Apple's market strategy was already primed towards a privacy-focused stance, since their profit center is selling physical devices. Thus, when privacy becomes a Big Deal in the world, Tim doesn't have to push hard to
