Ever heard of sandboxing? App Clips? Or are you concerned that the app is not compatible with the Android 9-based custom ROM you are rocking?

I absolutely agree, but timestampz as a column type is of little help here, because no actual timezone info is being persisted, ever. > I think best practice is to have PostgreSQL run in UTC and always store a time zone, that way you&#x2

the server timezone is absolutely relevant, it comes into play when a timestamp value is being read from a timestampz column.

I'm baffled by the insistence that "users" (backend services, really) should avoid timestamp in favor of timestampz. I literally DO NOT understand, how is this good advice. My backend service exists in some abstraction of a L

This was my impression after moving to macOS after years of using Windows and Gnome as well. The "document-oriented" window management and the fact that you can Cmd+X selected text, but not selected files is deeply bizarre.

It's me, I'm the person who's been waiting for this watch. I want a nice-looking, curved-screen watch that feels snappy and fluid and has a non-terrible UI (so not Samsung or FitBit), has decent Wear OS update policy (so not

That's hardly a point of view and more of a knee-jerk reaction. From whataboutism to half-hearted attempts to cast the article as antisemitic to the cynical "so what?" as if the conduct described by the NYT is not so clearly

Seems incredibly like an intentionally style-less, script-less version of HTML: a tree structure of blocks, tables, lists etc with simple actions like "show", "hide" and "submit form".

>You have a lot of USB-A QC chargers, and you just take a usb A -> C cable Why would you assume it would work? Just because the connectors fit together? Both my computer monitor and my TV have two HDMI input ports. Should I fault the

OMG, have you tried to charge it from a sane 5V charger?

Any 5/10 Gbps from Amazon/AliExpress will work for 4k@60Hz.

TIL the phrase "magical smoke" :) Never were much into electrical engineering, to my own chagrin.

Also, no certification for anything with QuickCharge, Anker PowerIQ and whatever Mediatek's one is called. Only pure USB PD chargers can get certified. Anker for example makes only a handful of such chargers, and none in the brand new

Well, that's something barrel plugs had going for them way before data connectors caught up :)

That's quite insane, thanks Tim Apple.

True! I literally own two identical-looking (to the most minute details of the plug itself) barrel plug chargers (one for the vacuum, the other for the elliptical trainer). One is 18V, the other is 9V, both 500mA At least I'm not afrai

There's a lot of doom and gloom here; let's see if it really got that bad. >You need a PD charger and not a QC charger... Impossible, all USB-C QC chargers are also USB PD chargers. >into the correct usb port to charge the l

*apparently active Thunderbolt 3 cables are an exception and won't work. But it's better not to rely on Thunderbolt 3 cables to be valid USB 3 cables. Of course, it's better now with Thunderbolt 4 where every Thunderbolt 4 ca

But where's the USB trident? They already had USB4 cable logos denoting either 20Gbps or 40Gbps (still on the USB-IF website). This is in fact a rebranding, and the first USB logos since the very beginning of the standard that don&#x27

It's in fact incredibly simple. Every USB-C cable that is not USB 2.0 (meaning 5gpbs and up) will be able to drive 4K@60Hz.

Extremely beyond the point, but it's not about Lisp, it's about automatic memory management, and to lesser extent lambdas and pattern matching. There's nothing magical about Lisp that makes it super fit for compiler developme
