There used to be a saying among web developers that you can either use a framework or end up building a framework.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting. Having already pissed off the advertisers, Apple felt threatened enough to turn around and alienate its power users. Couldn't have been an easy decision...

I usually just disable password auth and update regularly, when I have an SSH server open to the internet. Short of an 0day in the SSH service, I expect brute forcing the private key(s) to take longer than I have years to live.

This data is only thru dealerships, I believe. Anecdotally: I know no one who takes public transit in NYC anymore. They either bicycle, bought a car, left the city, or stay home. Generally: Many people have fled the city to suburbs where, p

Same problem in Manhattan. An electric car would be great for quick trips to nearby mountains for snowboarding/hiking, but finding _any_ parking spot near home can be a nightmare, let alone having to find one near one of the few chargi

As someone who holds but doesn't use a Technician Class license, I completely agree. As someone commented below, sending encrypted data over HAM frequencies is not allowed (IANAL), which also rules out a lot of interesting projects and

Apple makes apps, and the last thing anyone wants is to have knockoff apps claiming to be made by Apple (e.g. a knockoff apple music app for Android).

IANAL but I believe it is necessary to "defend" your trademark or risk losing it. That being the case, I can see why Apple would want to make at least a pro-forma challenge to an app with a similar-looking logo. EDIT: Apple makes

Interesting. How are they managing the continued break-down of the garbage that's still buried a few (dozen?) feet below? The article doesn't convince me that this dump is totally reformed, just that life has developed on top. Thi

Perhaps by having drivers commit to a single platform, an hour at a time. At the end of the hour-long "shift" the driver then picks which platform to work for in the next hour, or chooses to go home.

Maintaining XCode, running iCloud app-facing services, building/maintaining SDKs, etc... Apple has to pay for these somehow. They can either get the money by charging more for each iPhone or they can get the money from the real end-use

Seconded. I think one of Hackernews’ biggest value-adds versus say Oreilly is the eagerness with which the commenters on this site will rip apart bad ideas/articles.

In the worst case: search becomes completely unusable because the top pages of every major set of search terms is taken up by nonsense blog-spam. That is absolutely not currently the case.

Do you have any experience/data to back that up? While, on its face, it seems like a good idea to discourage lying, presenting children with such a binary approach to deception might leave them underprepared for the "bullshit&quot

I wish this article went into more detail about the relative death rates. The fact that Sweden’s death rate “far outstripped that of other nordic” countries (all else being equal) would tend to indicate the Swedish strategy failed, no? Are

Interesting point. I'd be surprised if most universities were trying to build out apps for the current quarantine though. More likely they just email links to Zoom conferences or something to that effect, no?
