Is java.lang.String still UTF-16? Is there any plan to fix that? Once Windows and Java take care of it, I can't think of any other major UTF-16 uses left. Are there any that I've forgotten about? Edit: Still looks like UTF-16, acc

Me too! Microsoft has done a really great job of managing the acquisition without ruining GitHub. GitHub already had a great understanding of their audience and a pulse on the community prior to being bought, so I'm really glad that th

They look more similar when handwritten (in print, not cursive) than they do in Verdana or Liberation Sans (the two fonts used on HN on my devices).

It's perfectly valid to call that a compiler.

The standard stack is unnecessarily complex and very difficult to security-audit. By not having any third-party dependencies, you don't need to trust thousands of individual developers to not have their NPM accounts compromised or to p

It looks nice for graphics-heavy documents, but the quality of the typographical output doesn't come close to LaTeX with microtype. I do wish that LaTeX had something similar to CSS, however. The separation of markup and styling makes

elementary OS has one, which is well-enforced in their first-party and many third-party apps: https://elementary.io/docs/human-interface-guidelines Of course, as soon as you go outside that, you run into the fragmentat

While installing Arch can be a challenge for a lot of different use-cases, bootstrapping everything from the level described in the article is a little harder.

I would imagine that they have far less email volume to train any kind of spam-classifying AI on, as well as a smaller amount of (human) resources to spend on advanced spam classification. Google has a huge leg up in this particular aspect.

Yep, this is an iOS 13 feature. Prior to this, hard-pressing the space bar was the correct solution (although it still works on devices with 3D Touch, and long-touch works on newer models).

It's somewhat common in the custom Android ROM community, where there are different levels of "brick".

I think the issue here is that Instagram has a different idea of the importance of a phone number than you do. They consider a phone number to be more personal information than your full name. Your phone number is also trivially tied to you

This has been my experience as well (with some relatively large Hangouts Meet meetings in a big G Suite org). Compared with old-fashioned Hangouts, Meet is pretty reliable.

I haven't been able to find a way to change my video background on the Linux client either. The image recognition software must be difficult to reliably implement for their lower-value platforms (as in, it would cost them too much to g

The "DO NOT use or mix with other household chemicals, such as..." part should probably go on the front and a little bigger. I can't imagine that everyone would read the whole thing.

I’m surprised they weren’t told about it at all in advance. Is that standard for Apple nowadays?

It’s at least a nice option—I don’t own a single device that can play 4k video (and have it look any better than 1440p), but at least it’s available for people who have new televisions. YouTube downscales automatically for logical bandwidth

I get your point, but I don’t think Inter is similar enough to Circular to be a replacement for it. Inter is more of a San Francisco replacement in my book (which is how I use it on one of my websites—SF for Apple devices and Inter as a fal

At least they're smart enough to make /wordpress/wp-admin return an nginx 403 (meaning that it only works from specific IP addresses or while logged in from another page). I agree that /blog seems more professional than

Is that pseudo-graphical Links output just raw X or something? Is it a wrapper around a terminal emulator? I also find the "unprecedented visual experience" part on the homepage to be humorous.

Given that it's more a program for producing art in that style (as opposed to engineering new trains), they almost certainly won't? Especially since it's open source.

You can pass a USB device (including a camera) to a VM. Then you can make sure that Zoom always has focus within the VM to protect yourself from the attention tracking functionality.

But if the average password length is 12 characters, does the maximum password length make any difference for the average user? More characters would certainly be better for those users who generate super long passwords, but for the service

I imagine that this limitation is fairly common, although it probably wouldn't cost them any more to move to truncating at 512 characters or something like that. There has to be a limitation at some point to prevent denial of service a
