You act like there's a choice -- customers get apps through the app store, so that's where developers have to be if they want to eat.

But this seems like a developer tool -- what developer doesn't have Python and Curl installed...

Not OP, but SSHFS is really nice. You can stand it up in basically one command, and tear it down similarly when you're done -- no need to worry about setting anything up on the server side as long as you have SSH access.

Yet another ridiculously ahistorical "This is the one / primary reason Rome fell" paper. Ugh.

It ran pretty well in Chrome Beta on my phone (~30fps?) for 10 seconds until the browser crashed.

Ironically, I had to sit through an ad (on my phone without an ad blocker) to read this article.

I do that too, but it still autoplayed. I think it's an HTML5 video.

There's a very good book by the same name about Smallpox eradication and the debate over destroying remaining stocks of the virus. I highly recommend it.

I like apples. Oranges look weird.

Yeah, if you check the repo it's running the code in a specialized docker container with no network access.

Would it be pronounced Check-ia/ʧɛkiə or more like Sheck-ia/ʃɛkiə? The second is much easier for me to pronounce, personally, though if they removed the ending dipthong in favor of just ə they both roll off the tongue.

Is there a Rust->C compiler? (I'm on phone or would check myself). That seems like it would provide the best of both worlds, no?

Most people, therefore, have a basically neutral effect on homelessness. I'd argue this guy had a completely negative effect.

This guy is still a jerk. The whole article is written as a gross sympathy piece for him. He worked for a year on homelessness and didn't solve it? Very smart, passionate (I.e., don't care about homelessness only because they got caught saying something horrible) have spent decades on it. This guy seriously thought he could solve the whole issue and make everything go away in a year? Really?

Also, I love how the author non-chalantly mentions that homeless people with mental illnesses would be banned from his planned camps. That's absolutely ridiculous, horrible, and blatantly illegal.

the description sounds like they're running a server farm, not doing the processing on the phone.

Why? It has all the features a blog needs. Who cares what it's called?

It's not the worst idea but at the same time it feels almost like data extortion. Like Crassus showing up outside a burning building, "Hey you can get your data back for way above market rate!"

It would help if there was a more clear pricing structure.

...and? Would the company not do the equivalent to them?

...there were pre-existing LOTR movies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(1978_...

Bob ends up with 4.4 billion dogecoins.

That was a joke...

You're not obligated to do anything. But people are also free to think you're an asshole for not respecting an incredibly basic request.

Not using someone's preferred name / gender pronouns is plain and simple being an asshole. Nobody really gives a shit about your opinions on being trans or whatever -- we've literally heard every argument you could possibly make many, many times. Just don't be an asshole so my day isn't ruined and I can pretend your outdated views don't exist.

Facebook only goes after profiles that are flagged by users. Nobody cares enough to flag your dog, but there are plenty of homophobic / transphobic assholes who flag LGBT people.

Exactly. If you can't think of a canned answer for that question, there is approximately 0 chance you can navigate the workplace politics of a large defense contractor.

Also, on a more technical level 4chan's ads aren't served from a well known ad host like Google, so they wouldn't be blocked by a typical blacklist without filtering URLs containing ad -- which some adblockers do, causing [all kinds of problems] [0].

A marvellous operation of a lamp, which if any man shall hold, he ceaseth not to fart until he shall leave it.

Take the blood of a Snail, dry it up in a linen cloth, and make of it a wick, and lighten it in a lamp, give it to any man thou wilt, and say lighten this, he shall not cease to fart, until he let it depart, and it is a marvellous thing.

blegh.

Did they finally realize that targeting low-end devices with a web stack was totally ridiculous?
