This isn't strictly true. Plenty of iOS apps use e.g. Stripe for payment processing, including the last company I worked for. The App Store billing/subscriptions requirement is only for apps providing strictly digital goods/s

It is hypothesized that Burial made a little guest appearance at a James Blake boiler room set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8idi7PcsbU It definitely looks like him, but who knows.

Not OP but one thing I've started sticking to that has helped me a lot is paying attention to my sleep cycles when planning alarms. Sometimes you get enough sleep but wake up feeling shocking, while other times you'll wake up afte

So do you really believe any single person is so "brilliant" (or whatever adjective you want to use) to have truly created or earned billions of dollars through their own brilliance alone? Do you think Jeff Bezos is 1,310,000x mor

On the flip-side, social media has also been exploited by those same corrupt businessmen and politicians. For example, in Cambodia, Hun Sen uses Facebook as his main media platform while forcibly closing independent press. At times his page

O-1 visas are an incredible pain to apply for, and you need to prove at extension requests how you've "remained extraordinary" during the time you've actually been working. As far as I'm aware, no graduate would be

My bad, it was in the 9to5mac article where "[Update: Applies for all devs]" is in the title. Updated my OP.

This does apply to everybody. The article has been updated. edit: Wasn't this article that was updated, my bad. It's the 9to5mac article that says "[Update: Applies for all devs]" in the title.

Everything you said is true, but for collecting vinyl seems superior to me because disc rot is basically unavoidable, whereas well cared for records can last over a hundred years (maybe more?)

For me it's vinyl for the albums I _really love_, and digital/streaming for anything else. I understand buying digital ultimately supports the artists more, but as a library/collection, digital files just can't compare t

So what _is_ Paul's suggestion for addressing the insane amount of wealth inequality in 2020? Nothing better shows how rigged the game is than the S&P500 about to hit another all-time high while we're in a recession, with unem

The first part is great advice but unfortunately not always easy for those in small apartments where that space is precious. One thing that has worked for me is to instead try to detach my work space from being purely work, and give myself

early-init.el is loaded before the package system is initialized (which also lets you disable the package system before it can possibly be loaded -- useful for people like me who use straight.el instead), while the normal init.el happens af

Why live in FiDi if you're here for recreation though? It seems like a pretty dead area outside of office hours? Thought I admit I haven't spent much time there.

I built the API for a side project in Elixir/Phoenix a couple years ago making use of Phoenix WebSockets, and it was truly mindblowing how much you could get done with such a little amount of code.

This is awesome -- I grew up playing Quake 1 and really fell in love with it more as we as a community learned to exploit the movement physics. Still my favourite FPS and still arguably the one with the steepest learning curve. I didn'
