I'm not sure the fact that a web view component exists means it gets priority. Facebook, Twitter etc have no choice but to use what iOS provides. It's not like they'd stop publishing iOS apps I'd apple decided to never u

The title here says 2019 but the linked page says 2014. This confused me for a bit.

"greatest hits", a collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison. Should be available on many platforms, I listened to it on audible. Mostly sci-fi, some great, some good. Most are read by the author himself, who has a peculiar st

I think the point is that it's not someone else's blogging service. If CF or GH die, you can port this to some other platform or your own server without losing anything, compared to e.g. blogger.

The DMA fines are not supposed to be punitive damages, they're a tool to correct behavior, like the GDPR. If Apple & co don't comply there are higher amounts that can be imposed, but the idea is that the companies will comply

Related to what the article mentions, about playing cards, I tried to get my kids into doing basic arithmetic by playing "scopa"[0] with them. Turns out, the one who didn't like math didn't like the game either, and the

I love libraries and I credit the library of my home town for being who I am. I don't remember much that the actual people in the library did for me, beyond letting me take books at a time than was allowed. But still, they did let me d

I've played slither quite a bit, and I find it very stressful, it's hard to survive and very frustrating when you die, but I do think it's a brilliant little game.

UML as a methodology seems to have disappeared, but bits of it (e.g. sequence diagrams) seem to have been absorbed by the profession at large.

yeah I think the "this is immediately useful for me" part of mIRC scripting was a key driver in pushing kids to learn programming, and it seems lost in modern times. But, perhaps, we're just not young anymore.

How do you have it write tests before the code? It seems writing a prompt for the LLM to generate the tests would take the same time as writing the tests themselves. Unless you're thinking of repetitive code I can't imagine the p

I'm not sure, I remember going truffle hunting (a grand-uncle owned truffle dogs) and spending a whole morning not finding anything. Luckily, I never had to go mine-hunting.

wunderkind is a loanword, it's one of those cases of a German word being used but being odd in English since it's so similar. Like kindergarten which is often speller as "garden". https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

But dogs are trained to sniff truffles and definitely stick to it for long, and the process (sniff around, signal to handler, get reward, repeat) seems the same.

Exactly, but the EU could have limited glysophate use, instead of blanket banning GMOs while still allowing imports of soy beans etc grown with it. (Noticeable: partial bans on glysophate have happened later).

Coincidentally read a comment yesterday on the lines of "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords does seem like a decent basis for a system of government at this point". Absolute masterpiece.

Given Trump's persona would you expect him to be hush hush about capitulations to him? I would expect him to post "Tim Apple came to kiss my ass great guy I will allow him to make great computers in America!"
