Scanning a qr code triggers a bluetooth bridge to continue. If a scammer or your mom scans it from someplace else, it won’t work. Good for antiphishing. Bad for oops, left phone at home.

I believe this was in the swift roadmap to have an opt-in borrow semantics for a block of code, if you want to do low level systems programming - just like rust. But I guess it didn't fit to migrate from current obj-c ecosystem so they

I was very happy when swift was introduced and it solved many classes of bugs that were very popular in Obj-C. It was very much a big help for external developers. Swift apps are not crashing randomly, you don't have nils running rampa

Those negative examples don't work for me on Safari, I can't drag the frame small enough to trigger the bad examples - it seems not to allow it. So tbh the content looks good for me in both bad and defensive cases

Yes, people often confuse inherent problem complexity (maybe domain complexity) with unneeded complexity introduced by code architecture. You can reduce the latter, but often you can't reduce the former. That's why it is best to k

For me Coq - the automated proof assistant was it. You can consider it a game where you try to prove something. And it is green and says okay when you are correct. If you just do it on paper you are never sure about if you are correct.

The site tbh looks awfully similar to github. Can this be like a reason for a lawsuit, if github had a bad day?

I tried "typeof" and "is" and results were not what I wanted. Is there indexing for language keywords?

People say everything (and everything should have user replaceable batteries). I would not like a pacemaker with an off switch you can trigger by accident or have it have user replaceable batteries - seems dangerous to your health

This could really use some better explaination with examples. I am a dev for 15 years and I have no idea what it does after a minute of looking at it

Is there an app store link anywhere?

Ah and you can consider saving calories like saving money. You can take out a loan on a cheat day, but you have to pay it in the end by eating less for next days.

Just count calories, I managed to lose 30kg just doing 2200 kcal per day. You don't have to exercise, just consider this a progress bar for the day (I used calorie counting apps on iPhone or Apple Watch). This is not medical advice, bu

Enable Do Not Track by default - isn’t this considered a fingerprinting source and obsolete?

nextdns.io seems to be similar and I recommend it

I recommend https://paw.cloud for just the Postman clone - it has native UI, not an Electron shell. For doing proxies, there is https://proxyman.io , which I think is also native (haven't used it a lot, not sure)

Consult your psychiatrist about adjusting SSRI or SNRI medication (enhance doses or switch medication). Therapy. Hang in there, it gets better.

This sounds like fueling anxiety in the kids that they are being watched. Doesn’t sound okay

Dependencies also are not migrated instantly or abandoned and they don't compile cleanly on new architecture. Especially closed source tracking libraries from all over.

So people are now angry that FB instead of using all the data collected to detect people using multiple accounts now is using only the data provided to them in their account linking? Is this bad? For prices/ads obviously, but in genera

At work you have the same IP. Your coworker may have googled what he was taking about. This is a much easier explaination than a constant mic monitoring for arbitrary phrases

Maybe stupid question, but can’t someone do an open source bash loop that will run a screenshot and ocr script every second and kill your business?

It seems like the author doesn’t understand how the OS manages memory. It is good to have a lot of memory used. You don’t get your money back for the RAM you save. The only worthwile metric is how fast stuff actually runs/noticable wai

Wouldn't it be a better idea to have some CTA for like future booking or booking voucher so the hosts can get money now for a future service? So you know if someone really likes a place and visits it every year can spare a few bucks if
