While readlink is the correct way to just read the link, I often just use `file ...` since it will also show the symbolic link destination (on GNU at least).

Yes there are definitely some weird syntax quirks, but it all depends on your perspective. Coming from something like Java, C# or Typescript, the syntax indeed feels strange, but from other languages with similar idioms (like Python), it&#x

All of this may be true, but Stripe's intention with building this is obvious: It's marketing; it's an advertisement showing how much volume Stripe handles during a busy shopping period. A big hint that it's an ad is tha

No, it is still using Safari WebView, but Apple may be forced to change that policy in the near future if we're lucky.

Hopefully Apple's policy ends soon.

Doesn't kill Firefox for me, but my machine is beastly. Windows 11, i9 12900K + RTX 3080Ti, seeing 35% overall CPU, Firefox using 1.2% of that, Task Manager indicating 15-20% of the GPU. Maybe they fixed it, though. Actually Firefox wo

Agreed, we don't need "show all level of details" when that's not tenable. I'd just prefer Google Maps to be a bit more "dense" when deciding what zoom level to show details at. This is particularly a prob

I don't particularly like the elision of street names myself, but is GPS on modern phones really often wrong? Perhaps it's more an issue in rural areas or super tightly packed areas like SF or New York? In LA, GPS is kind of crazi

Note though that I can attest the modem in the 6 Pro wasn't super great, and the design of the 6 Pro with it's curved glass definitely contributed to those drops taking out the screen/back.

Opposite of my experience, I daily drove a Pixel 6 Pro from launch until 8 Pro launched and have been using 8 Pro since. I upgraded because I can, my Pixel 6 Pro is working just fine, I've added it to my growing device catalog for test

That's not the goal. Consider: you have bills with serial numbers known to have been stolen during a bank heist, and you want to exchange those bills with ones that are not known to have been stolen during a bank heist so that the feds

Connectors which have consistently shifting pressure applied, especially from side to side, are going to fail faster regardless of the design. It just so happens that the side that's most likely to be in this state is the side connecte

To be fair, I haven't seen a USB C power port available in public once so far myself, and while it would be nifty for them to become the norm over USB-A, I really think it's a bad idea to subject users to unknown USB charging port

VGA connectors were incredibly irritating to deal with, especially since so many of them were equipped with smooth screwing bolts with very little area to spin them with your fingers. I for one don't miss this.

Oh, I missed that GP said "of your answer" instead "of my question", as in: "What is the third word of this sentence?" For prompts like that, I have found no LLM to be very reliable, though GPT 4 is doing m

This isn't the same thing. This is a commanded recital of a lack of capability, not that its confidence in it's answer is low. For a type of question the GPT _could_ answer, most of the time it _will_ answer, regardless of accurac

This sort of test has been my go-to trip up for LLMs, and 3.5 fails quite often. 4 has been as bad as 3.5 in the past but recently has been doing better.

These are fantastic points, all of which I have personally experienced as an Android user with many iPhone family members. Apple adopting RCS won't solve #1, and is unlikely to solve #2, but solving #3 is a great start, and if the Appl

Yes, it does, as long as everyone is using RCS via Google Messages.

What would that look like? Do you mean having Messenger be the default SMS app for your phone, and having it able to receive RCS? If so, these restrictions in Android would stop it: https://source.android.com/docs/core&

This does not reduce the overall cost, it just shifts it to the clearinghouse. Who pays the clearinghouse so that they can cover their own exorbitant SMS costs?

Google Messages, which is fast becoming the default Android messaging app across Android OEMs uses RCS when both participants support it and falls back to SMS when that is not the case. RCS is an open standard that any carrier/OS/

It's also considered by many to be an antipattern to add a type that is otherwise inferred. For a trivial example, let x: number = 6; You should instead allow the compiler to infer where it can and do let x = 6; Inference doesn't

Yep, it's easy to spot folks who have never configured Cloudflare's WAF when they suggest Cloudflare is blocking their browser of choice instead of the website itself.

Modern compilers still have to follow the rules of the language.
