I guess Apple would be in a unique position here to use their experience from mobile to make a better integrated webcam in their computers as well, without most of those limitations.

Just wait until you try the front facing camera on a MacBook (in my case, the Air from 2019). It's so horrible compared to any recent iDevice from the last years. I don't understand why they don't improve them to match the mobile quality at least.

I particularly like Jim Meskinens stuff as an impressionist because you get the audio as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rPKeUXjEvE

In addition to the arguments outlined above, it protects against some attack vectors. If the service gets hacked and the password leaked or they discover the password in some other way, they still don't have the 2FA token and so can't login.

The problem is more the state of the rebased commits. If it is a dirty history, bisect will break for a myriad of random reasons (broken tests, incomplete features etc.). So if you don't squash, and want to run bisect, you _have_ to ensure that all commits are clean and working. Easier said that done.

I wonder how the extreme wealth distribution today will affect this. Although looking at statistics [1] it seems it was even worse in 1922 (no numbers for 1918).

I’ve been using iwantmyname for many, many years and have been super satisfied with them.

Tap and hold works, two fingers does nothing though.

That does not work for me on iOS 13.3.

My favorite pet peeve is trying to edit URLs in the address bar in Safari. Just trying to get the cursor to the end of the address field a an error prone chore. Often the text is select and there’s no way to unselect it. Then of course it doesn’t help when you want to remove some components of the URL that Safari helpfully autocompletes back to the URL you jus visited.

In my experience, that’s not a solution. I always use Netflix in English, but frequently encounter US content with only regional subtitles and no English track.

Why not both?

Which means AMP actually has very little to do with "performance".

Page rank would make them care. Can't understand why Google didn't just down rank heavy pages...

In this case, you could argue that the "users" is almost equivalent to the people (of EU), because of how widespread the usage of Facebook is. What we see here is that the people is starting to decide that some things that Facebook are doing are not acceptable anymore.

An analogy is not a comparison. I think an analogy here was made to reinforce the point made, not to in any way claim that Facebook somehow deals with indentured servitude.

Maybe something to add to the website or FAQ? I searched the page for a long time for anything that would indicate it was a general tool, and since I didn't find anything I assumed it had some game-specific features or wording in the product that would make it a bad fit for any other type of development.

Codecks looks gorgeous. Have anyone tried it for anything else than game development? Is it a good fit for other projects?

I assume they would just all have free Premium accounts if they're working at Google.

Unity's new Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) aims to take advantage of multi-threading by default. It's done transparently as far as it is possible, with the help of a new burst comipiler system, their new job system and the Entity Component System (ECS).

I'm pretty sure that e.g. on such a big ship we saw in the video above there are plenty of "misfirings" on a lower level of abstraction: pipes need to be replaced, computers or electronics not working correctly, out of date life saving equipment that needs to be replaced etc.

In the end, I feel it's quite comparable to software running on layers of layers of abstraction being maintained by the respective experts in their fields (testing, CPU designers, driver implementers, OS maintainers, etc.).

It probably doesn't solve the problems completely, but I’ve found the Shortcat app indispensable when navigating macOS by keyboard. It uses the underlying accessibility features to create link hints like the Vim plug-ins for browsers do.

1. My point still stands, using if-statements is not common in Erlang exactly for the reason you mention.

2. In Erlang it usually only make sense to care about errors which you can actually handle in a sensible way. Everything else you usually "let crash" and let the supervisor tree deal with recovering. Defensive programming is another anti-pattern in Erlang in my opinion.

4. Not sure what you mean with "not great". With Erlang, if you have a completely parallelizable problem you should see close to linear scalability. If it drops of after that it's either because the problem is not parallelizable enough or because of your architecture.

Yeah, I'm not arguing Erlang over Java either. I'm just pointing out that blanket statements like this are usually because of architecture or design rather than shortcomings of the language itself.

There's also the almost never used software that people complain about being forced to use.

That's why I decided to trust a commercial password manager (in this case, 1Password). Rather than trudging some unknown third party developer on each mobile platform, I'd rather trust a more official provider on all platforms (which also gives me the increased usability and larger feature set).

Since I absolutely need a cross platform password manager, especially on mobile, I felt this to be the most logical solution.

What about having a disabled account (the option where you can continue to use Messenger)? With a disabled account you can't log-in to check the settings because Facebook will automatically enable the account again.

I mean, they must have _some_ way of running code before performing an upgrade, no? So they could check for these processes, store some state on the phone, and after the upgrade display a notice about what happened. This would all be on-device so it's not even a privacy issue.

The platform has also changed. Now it is ad-infested and algorithmically crushed in the pursuit of profit to something which actually discourages these interactions.

I think it should become a Windows/Microsoft issue, to be honest. A good example is the recent Zoom vulnerability, the software made it possible to perform certain exploits on the user and operating system, so Apple stepped in and disabled the exploit. In this case, I think Microsoft should do the same in order to protect their users. My guess would be that the install base of Steam on Windows is as least on par with Zoom on macOS, if not many times larger.

In the end, Microsoft will get bad reputation for having an insecure OS (not to even mention Valve here, and in the long run it will hurt them as same as it did Adobe with their Flash stubbornness).

The UI is a hot mess though. Every time I try out their Mercurial site (it's actually a separate site, not just a feature of the main site) I always somehow end up on the Git part of the site and there's no obvious way back.
