Ha, yes you are exactly right, had three in there.

It's a bit mind-blowing to me how big browser apps have become the last few years. Firefox 80 takes up 210.8MB and Chrome _689.8MB_ on my MacBook.

I was in an Uber rideshare once with a blind person. Had no idea they were blind until the driver pulled over and got out (which initially confused me) to help them to their house.

Damn, this is a buzzkill for me. I just built a new computer a month ago and was hoping to get a Hackintosh setup working but didn't do much research into it beforehand. Why will Nvidia GPUs never work? Because they won't publish

Oh wow, this actually helped me fix it. I had to downgrade to 1Password4 for Windows (no mention my license only works with that version), and after that I was able to enter my old license key. By hidden I meant the downloads page is only l

Yep, super annoying for me as well. I paid $60 which I feel is quite a lot for a password manager. When I built my new computer the other weekend I found everything on 1Password's site was subscription-walled, I finally found a downloa

Since the article is login-walled I can only generally comment. The hard part of competing against Google is they have seemingly infinite discretionary money and computing power to throw at a problem. Normal businesses have to be profitable

I hate to laugh when people's hard work is being destroyed, but this is some impressive trolling by the attacker: > An interesting theory as to why the attacker used the term "meow" is because cats like to drop (or knock)

Now I'm confused, are you saying Amazon uses Hack internally which compiles to PHP? The Hack website doesn't have much info and I'm not familiar with it. There's clearly an Amazon Github repo for an an AWS SDK written in

I think Apple is pushing for the same thing that helped NodeJS get really popular: using the same language across your entire stack. In a perfect world Apple can have their devs use Swift to build an iOS/macOS app or help out with serv

If anything it will force analytics SDK makers to make their code leaner. I find it hard to believe that analytics SDKs need to be so bloated. And I think the goal is to get users creating accounts with Apple Sign-In rather than Facebook. I

While we are on the topic of file formats, I stumbled across a cool project the other day that aims to make parsing well-known binary formats much easier: http://kaitai.io/ In high school I was obsessed with the game Starcr

I tried Zoom's breakout rooms (~8 people per) for a virtual birthday party and it didn't work well. The audio delay made it really hard to have a free-flowing conversation which then made others feel bad when trying to step in. IM

It's been several years since I've used Java, but from what I remember most devs rarely catch unchecked exceptions (like out of bounds access) in their code.

I have friends who are police that post videos of their gun training to social media. One exercise involves speeding up to an area in their cruiser and quickly coming to a stop. Then they exit the vehicle and use their door as cover while s

I'm really hoping Swift breaks out of the app ecosystem soon and becomes mainstream on Linux, it's a joy to write and has a great compiler team behind it. Still missing some big features but I think they will be solved in Swift6.

What I find weird about the article is that they spend so much time talking about the performance of the new design, yet fail to include any hard numbers comparing the old vs new implementations. They do throw out a few numbers like how the

Genuinely curious here, which apps have you kept and use daily? The number of monetized apps that don't talk to Google/FB (or other install trackers) is likely in a very small minority.

FWIW Cisco Umbrella is blocking/reporting your site as a security threat.

Just want to say thanks for being so transparent with your answers in this thread, really appreciated. As a fly on the wall to most of this -- I don't have a business myself, yet ;) -- I'm learning a lot so far.

My friends who own or help run local small businesses have told me it happened to them, so I believe my friends. Of course, it's not explicit extortion like "pay us $500 a month or else", so there's no hard evidence for

I can't tell if this is satire or not. Just because a language is open source does not mean it's a perfect democracy.

Personally I really struggle with the syntax and notation of upper-level math courses, I need a big cheat sheet of all the terms. It's like programming where we use i, j, k for loop variables instead of something more descriptive. My b

The language itself is amazing IMO but agreed the update hell has been annoying so far.

I think you are being borderline pedantic here. ARC _is_ GC in the classic sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_s... I agree with you that most people tend to associate GC with something mo

And this one doesn't even link to the Medium article, it's some other site that "sources" from it and doesn't even show the author's name. What's the point of write.as?

Then don't use Go, you aren't their target audience in that case. And I don't mean this in a harsh way, just that Google is clearly opinionated in how they are building Go.

While you do have a point, there's a very simple way to collapse comment threads that you don't care about. And instead of commenting on an existing thread about the design (sparing those who have already muted that), you chose to

Because who knows what kind of private company information might possibly be leaked otherwise in commit messages. From a legal point of view, it's a lot easier to start with a clean slate.

FWIW, in this case it might be better to use `site:reddit.com` for more accurate results. I tried your example and it narrowed down 264k results -> 12k results, although I'm not sure how much stock should be put into that figure bec
