IIRC there was a migration period when apple and google "divorced" on iOS, and the standalone google apps were in the making. Cannot pinpoint the year by memory.

I think the problem is guidelines and principles are just that, guides. You cannot turn off your critical thinking just because you read somewhere that you should do things a certain way. The problem, of course, is that your critical thinki

You're right, I stand corrected. The technique is still simple, the way they get the data is not so transparent to the user.

Talk about blowing something simple out of proportion. All these people have one friend in common with this person, maybe they know each other as well? Being a psychiatrist or whatever has nothing to do with it. EDIT: I stand corrected. Not

It is, until you find yourself on the extremist side of someone's book.

An argument against that I have seen in other threads and I find particularly interesting is that by providing an option to pay to block ads, you'd be greatly diminishing the strength of the ad network since the people that would see a

Timing is an interesting component. Time certainly helps to separate fact from fiction, and important facts from not-so important facts. However, I don't think it prevents bias, either from the authors own ideology or the status-quo at

The question is, what less misleading alternative is there? Social media?

Maybe the price is still too high, especially if you only watch a couple of shows/movies.

Yeap, bringing Apple Music to this discussion is disingenuous. The article is pretty light on details, but it seems Apple is simply asking Spotify to follow the rules all developers have to follow.

Write a lot of it, and keep a critical eye. Try to find the issues that tend to come back to bite you and avoid them in the future. Dealing with the consequences of bad code is a very good teacher :D EDIT: Also take notice when other people

Well, if you just want to be anonymous, no. That ip/machine is associated to your person through whatever method you used to pay Digital Ocean.

Under the hood, yes. You set a TXT record with the challenge token and the certs are issued when LE's servers are able to verify it (a few minutes at most for it to propagate, generally). However, people already made hooks that take ca

For those not running apache, or afraid of messing with their front end settings. I found the DNS verification system for Let's Encrypt to be a breeze, especially when your DNS provider has an API of some sort (CloudFlare, Route53, etc

Well, the issue is that popups were a nuisance, while being able to watch all those publishers content is not. I totally understand the concerns, but making users choose something out of ideology is much harder than simply providing a bette

The question is, do we want to be like the rest of the animals, survival of the fittest and all that jazz. Or do we want to hold ourselves to a higher standard? I don't condemn people who accept the first option as the absolute truth,

I agree, like I said it depends on the position. But still, if the other 10% of the time is designing the system, it can wreck the project if you do a bad job at it. And no amount of futzing with NPM is going to save you, no matter how good

I agree, I'm simply arguing the fundamentals must be somewhat present in your head in order for your research to be productive. Shifting to CS, how do you even know a specific algorithm/data structure might help with your problem

A plumber, sure. What about the guys who design your water heater? Should they just google the thermodynamics as they go as well? My point being, it depends on the role, and the expectations you have for the future of a candidate in your co

The comparison with guns doesn't really hold up. Guns are not a fundamental piece or even really necessary, when living in a modern society. A SIM card on the other hand, is pretty darn convenient for the general population.

I think that's precisely because they are always shortened automatically on twitter's side.

This way of thinking feels a bit toxic. I don't do my job with the objective of not being laid off. A business relationship such as employment works as long as it works for both parties. Pretty much like other relationships, when it st

Bleh, involving brand names or trademarks or whatever on a library that doesn't even seem to be commercial is a pretty dick move to begin with. And his protest is against npm, who allowed someone to appropriate his work. The users are

Can you expand? I cannot imagine what you do with your phone in order not to have sensitive info on it. At the very least your approximate location and people you talk to is definitely in there.

Does anyone have any more insight/interesting reads about the electron being a black hole thing? Somehow the idea that electricity may come from when something is being "sucked out" of our universe is appealing. I'm just

Rear-end collisions are the responsibility of the person behind. If they're keeping the correct distance, there's plenty of time to stop without collisions. Usually the lights are also a good distance after the radar so you have p

There is a theory that a thing so smooth as 120hz falls in the "very real but not quite real" case, or the Uncanny Valley. Whereas 24fps tells our brain we're clearly watching a movie and so it's ok. Just like those high

I have been following the story. From the article: > f.lux has been ready to ship for iOS devices for four years, but we can't put our app in the app store without Apple's help.
