As the parent comment has explained, all USPS is doing -- at least from their perspective -- is to use some third-party analytics tools, without intentionally or specifically linking to Facebook or Snapchat. Or put it this way -- is there a

My first thought when reading this wasn't even about privacy concerns, but that the battery drain is partially explained by GPS being on all the time, especially on such a small device with a small battery.

Well, from what I can see ChatGPT can already write much better bash scripts than I do, so...

I know basic bash and can read most bash scripts, but never spent much time on it to become an expert. However I found ChatGPT to be extremely valuable -- given the description of a task, it can create very high quality scripts with best pr

WSL still has a ton of issues, slow IO and CPU usage, just to name two of them. Search "WSL vmmem" and you'll see what I mean. It is nowhere near ready for serious use if you are spending 90% of time doing development in a Li

I assume it does not come with a touch screen or pen support? Then it is really an apple to orange comparison.

It answers the question, which is "it's none of your business". And equating installing Windows on Mac to microwaving phones is ridiculous. (Bear in mind Apple developed Bootcamp, not third-party developers.) You understand t

I can only tell you the Bootcamp and Hackintosh community is (was) much bigger than you think. Or let me say this -- if there are 1000 Bootcamp users -- likely < 0.01% of the Mac user base -- Apple would never bother to create Bootcamp,

Unfortunately Firefox is often treated as a forgotten child. I say this as a mostly Firefox user on every platform. When the Firefox experience sucks too much, I switch to Chrome or Samsung Internet. (Well, Firefox itself has a number of op

People install Linux on Mac, Windows on Mac (Bootcamp) or Mac OS on PCs (Hackintosh) all the time. Because it's their machine. They decide what to do with it.

My guess is that indeed the usage is low and people didn't bother to update stats or put more efforts into it. But the real reasons, in my opinion -- On the desktop, PWAs are simply less relevant. People are mostly online, and there is

Do these tweaked versions have 100% parity with the real environments? My experience is that you would often run into hard limitations, making it difficult to use for serious development.

I think it is beneficial to some people, but not a lot. My guess is that most Python users (from beginners to advanced users, including many professional data scientists) have never heard of GIL or thought of doing any parallelization in Py

First of all, I think there is a problem with your design if you have 50 or 200 cases. Most of the code I have seen -- in any language -- have no more than 10 cases, rarely 20. Maybe that is the issue to look at first. Then, this "limi

To be fair, generics was an after-thought because Go was originally a "small" language used internally at Google, and they needed to ship the language in a working state. Generics was too complicated to handle for the first versio

If you add an enum entry but forget to update the slice, BOOM And that's exactly the kind of thing people are discussing here.

added that every switch/if should handle this exhaustively. For any project with more than a few dozens of files, it is basically impossible to remember all the downstream code that uses the enum -- you have to track it down, or better

Exactly. Laying people off isn't necessarily a bad thing by itself if it "needs" to happen, but (at least in the US) what follows is loss of health insurance and income money needed for mortgage. Millionaires don't have

It's not even necessarily about employers. I was pushing to open source an internal project I worked on. Turns out other coauthors are not interested in spending any time on it (reviewing code, make adjustments, go through approval etc

Thank you for your valuable input. This is one of the most convincing "evidence" I have seen so far regarding the "exclusion" during hiring. I wonder why we don't see such cases written out by people often in these

I understand your sentiment. In theory there is no difference between a plumber or construction worker vs a CEO when it comes to DEI. However, in the real world, a female CEO or President is much more likely to inspire girls to work towards

I don't think you got the point. The experience of using a VM is not good, that's exactly why people are doing dual boot. They know what they are doing.

Based on the highly questionable PS/Xbox accounts sold on eBay, I think that's just what scalpers could do as part of their everyday job.
