nope, you’re seeing correctly - it’s a very low-functionality site that’s primary role is to open the App Store app (only works from Safari, I believe). The full images are available in the appstore.

Sounds like it's straight out of a "falsehoods programmers believe about names" article. I was going to pose my opinion on the topic, then realised WP being WP, that horse has already been flogged by committee.

That's how I understand it. If you take for granted that the existing corpus already has multiparty agreement, and that any changes you make need the agreement of 28(?) countries - then you change as little as possible. Especially sin

I think that's unique to the mac UK layout? # is usually on shift-3, so to accommodate £ on the same, they moved # to alt-3. Yuck. For me - There's another layout named "ABC - Extended", which reverses the two - so £ is

They do have a shot on https://www.apple.com/mac/m1/ (the first non-logo image) which looks like it matches up (you'll need to rotate one by 180°). So it's not like they're hiding it or actively a

I suspect it's actually the other way around. On the wire, a v4 address is four bytes. uint_32 is the natural type for this. So when we start looking at cidr scopes, /24 means the first 24 bits of those 32. "The first 24

12 hours ago was what, 5am London, Midnight East Coast? Timing is everything. If a tree falls in the forest and 75% of the potential readership are fast asleep, does it make a sound? (Numbers are fictional - and possibly eurocentric - for t

I want to agree; corporations should not be the arbiter of what is and isn’t true. But they do want to promote content to us, because their entire business model depends on keeping us in a never-ending scrolling algorithmic stupor. So there

I think it's easy to underestimate how much difference (1) makes. Take the famous line "thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog" - and think how you'd parse that out programatically. You'd start at the start, reading

I think my brain was screaming that it was fake because rockets simply don’t do this. Absolutely mindbending to watch, I can totally understand if anyone’s gut reaction that if it looks unreal, it might just be unreal. (To be explicit; I d

Way back when, the WoW armory (web-based character, guild, etc lookup) used to use this. It was incredibly useful for third-party integration - who needs scraping when they serve you the data on a silver platter.

I didn't see it because I didn't really use my phone. It was used entirely to phone taxis, order pizza, and as a pager-of-sorts for the office to let me know when it was Overtime time. It didn't "click" until I had

I think Quora bubbles a little too hard. I got stuck in a gun-rights bubble. I had to just walk away entirely. So just FYI - if it seems really creepy, Quora might have just decided that's your thing, to the detriment of all else.

There's probably a lot more warning than the video makes it look like. For example, the cables flaking significant chunks of paint could be a clue that the cable's changing geometry. It seems fairly logical that it was being insp

That's my impression too. The previous post currently says 11 hours ago, so by my count that's midnight NYC, 5am London. I know Australia exists, but overall that just gives it most the night to slide down the page before the ma

I really can't wait to see what they'll do in the desktop space. For all the gushing reviews the M1 is receiving, it's worth remembering this is their entry-level machines. As it stands right now, I have an 18 month old 27&q

I don't actually find taxis as easy as most seem to. Here, that large sideways tub would usually be a pizza delivery. Taxis have a very specific roof adornment and that isn't it. I'd usually need some hint to mentally cont

I have to say my experience with posties in Ireland has surpassed my experience with postcodes. I feel like the most valid "post code" would just be the name of the postman they should ask if they're not sure. But I have to

The second part of that actually seems to be more valid than you'd expect. Most users I've seen who actually use voiceover et al have TTS at a frankly astonishing rate. Although I agree in general. Plenty of capatchas have faile

Sheepshaver runs on the Pi, so I don't see any fundamental problem. The Author genuinely seems more annoyed that the goal posts keep moving, rather than any of this actually being impossible. There's no fundamental blocker to emu

I was led to believe Rosetta (1) left us so quickly because a majority of the tech behind it was licensed from someone else (Transitive?). There's a high chance open sourcing it was never an option.

Yes - "hovering" in a fixed-wing is very much possible, and even desirable for STOL landings (very popular & competitive in the Alaskan bush scene). It's still very much an observer-effect illusion however. The observer

The Air is passively cooled, so the theory is it won't sustain higher workloads for as long as the Pro should be able to. From what we know right now - same processor, different thermal envelope.

It makes a huge difference for networked storage. For some rough equivalency (ignoring seek times, but also ignoring tcp overheads etc, total spherical cow territory) - An 8x cdrom narrowly beats 10meg ethernet. - 1x dvdrom narrowly beats 1
