evanriley··on Apple Successfully Implements OpenID Connect with Sign in with Apple
But it is to spec. [0]

"Since September 2019 all spec violations have been addressed by Apple, as recorded in the next section. The section thereafter - "Peculiarities" lists specific implementation choices by Apple that differ from what most implementations provide, but are not spec violations per se."

evanriley··on Facebook to Add Its Name to Instagram, WhatsApp
Yea, this comment from Zuckerburg seems strange to me or maybe I completely misread how people are currently viewing Facebook as a company?

Generally speaking, it seems like the majority of the people are talk to only have bad things to say about Facebook (the product), and positive things to say about Facebook's (the company) other products such as Instagram and WhatsApp. Seems like they would want to keep these brands are separated as possible.

evanriley··on Sanders to propose canceling entire $1.6T in US student loan debt
Let me preface this by saying I 100% don't see this happening anytime soon...but.

Would you prefer we just keep going at this pace and hurting future students because in the past people had to pay? Sounds like a pretty shitty future.

evanriley··on Apple is now a privacy-as-a-service company
> The important part here is that you have to offer the same subscriptions at the same price between your web version and your in-app version.

That can't be true, SoundCloud offers differing prices between their Go+ on their website and app store. $9.99 and $12.99. They even tell you if you sign-up through their website instead of the app store you get a "discount".

evanriley··on Czech Republic proposes the highest digital tax rate in Europe
Surely there is a balance between overly taxing and letting them get away without paying them?
evanriley··on Beyond Meat S-1
There obviously won't be an indefinite bull market, but why are you so confident it will happen next year?
evanriley··on Front End Development Topics to Learn in 2019
> Edit: and for the record, xcode is a 13.8GB install

Not to take anything away from your post, but you're comparing a complete IDE & Simulator with dependencies for building a website.

evanriley··on Robinhood Will Retool Checking Product Following Scrutiny
As well as Fidelity's checking account, Cash Management Account, is FDIC insured.

This definitely feels like a case of Robinhood ignoring some advice.

Or you just turn off the newly added toggle switch?
evanriley··on How the World's Most Difficult Bouldering Problems Get Made (2015)
I was lucky enough to have and Outdoor Education class & a great teacher in High School that got me into climbing, which turned into a love for Bouldering.

Its one of the things I try to get all of my friends into who want to do something more active in their life or just something fun. Too me its the perfect balance of physical exertion and problem solving. The community is also (for the most part) great to be apart.

If anyone has any questions about the sport I would love to answer them.

evanriley··on Kroger acquires Home Chef for $200M
I'm always surprised there aren't more kits like what you would find in Blue Apron/Plated/Home Chef/etc in grocery stores.

I would buy A LOT more, and probably even overpay because of convenience if I could walk into my local Harris Teeter/Krogers/Food Lion and just pick up a 3 meal/2 person box with most of what I need.

evanriley··on Amazon.com Announces Fourth Quarter Sales Up 38% to $60.5B
"Machine learning is the focal point for a new NFL initiative called NextGen Stats, which is replacing the NFL’s existing player-tracking system. Powered by cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS), NextGen Stats will track all basic stats like touchdowns, interceptions, yards rushing, passing yards, tackles and fumbles, but it will also manufacture a new collection of stats such as real-time location, speed, and acceleration data. The data is analyzed on AWS and used to contextualize movement on the field and displayed as a new experience for fans to see on NFL Media properties, game broadcasts, third-party digital platforms, and in-venue displays. These new stats will also be available to players and coaches."

evanriley··on 2017 Was Bad for Facebook. 2018 Will Be Worse
Instagram used to be my go-to social media, and the millions of images of peoples dinners didn't annoy me, but I find myself using it less and less because of the non-chronological feed. I still don't understand how it can possibly be better than a chronological one.

If anything I wish they would give an option in the settings to make it chronological

evanriley··on iPhone X
I believe they said it was also used with their CoreML library and ARKit.
evanriley··on How Not to Die of Botulism (2013)
I assume this was posted because of the Otto Warmbier situation? [1]

evanriley··on Judge orders Uber not to use technology taken from Waymo
Is this enforceable? Or is it more of a "If you get caught using it in the future more legal ramifications?"
evanriley··on Courage
Thunderbolt isn't Apple proprietary either. Thats designed by intel, and Thunderbolt 3 even works with USB-C
evanriley··on AMD Zen Microarchitecture: Dual Schedulers, Micro-Op Cache and Memory Hierarchy
It's not copying the Intel Inside log, although I'll agree they look _similar_ its most likely based off of the Ensō[0], which is part of _Zen_ Buddhism.

evanriley··on Apple cloud services outage
The only Apple thing that I know was on AWS was the beats1 radio thing when it launched, not sure if it still is.
evanriley··on Org as a Word Processor
Sounds good, thanks!
evanriley··on Org as a Word Processor
In general how do you feel about spacemacs in the long term? I've been looking to learn emacs and spacemacs looks like a great starting point, but after awhile would you look to creating an emacs config specifically for you, or does spacemacs leave enough freedom to do what you want after you've gotten used to everything?
evanriley··on ES6 is beautiful
I guess were in luck then. Apple recently released the Safari Technology Preview version of Safari.[0]. And if you open the ES6 support page in the post you replied to it shows support for 98% of the features.

Supposedly the STP version is getting updated every 2 weeks, so lets hope that that also transitions to the non-developer version of Safari.

evanriley··on State of Clojure 2015: Survey Results
Do you have any books/resources that you recommend to learn Clojure?
evanriley··on Google Paid Apple $1B to Keep Search Bar on iPhone
I thought Siri only used Bing because Google doesn't allow services like Siri to use google.com?
evanriley··on Anywhere but Medium
So I shouldn't post to Medium because other people, who to you are essentially just assholes, post there?

Assholes use blogspot, or tumblr, or WordPress, or really anywhere on the internet. So my only option would be to host my own or go through some fairly unknown blog hosting service to avoid being included with the assholes of the service?

I've only used Medium once, so I'm not really here to defend my use of it, but from my use it was incredibly easy to type up and piece and have it look decent.

Is there anywhere that you recommend someone writes what they want to write without being included with assholes? Otherwise, They're just going to go with the easiest solution, which happens to be Medium.

evanriley··on Atlassian's success reminds what a crappy place Australia is for tech business
Yup, I live RIGHT outside of City borders of Durham, NC, where Google Fiber is coming, Frontier is putting up Fiber, and AT&T is putting up fiber. My max available speed? 24mbps DSL for $50 a month. Even though TWC says they are in my area, when they drive to my house they say they can't do anything for me, and I doubt Google, Frontier, or AT&T are going to be able to do anything for me.

evanriley··on NASA official warns private sector: We’re moving on from low-Earth orbit
I'm sure if someone wanted to destroy the earth, there are far more manageable ways to do that.
evanriley··on Scripting in Swift
Considering I've seen this said multiple times in Swift post on HN, I have to ask, why do you keep asking? From what I can remember they said It would be there by Fall...its clearly not fall yet, so why the impatience?
evanriley··on Free, three-month trial of Apple Music now available
Well, contrary to the other comments in this thread. So far I've been enjoying it for about the hour I've had it on my phone. I enjoy the UI more than Spotify/Rdio (Although I only used Rdio for about a week.) It has artist I enjoy from Pharrell and Eminem to DJ Okawari and Major Lazer (although I guess they aren't as obscure anymore.) So far listening to Zane Lowe on their Radio channel has been entertaining. Do I think I'll leave my playlist from Spotify to come to Apple Music? Possibly, I have 3 months to figure that out, and currently I can't say I'm disappointed in the service?

Although I will say I'm hoping apple does more with the whole Music Connect and actually following artist that Spotify and other services currently don't, I'm going to hear about the new album regardless of whether or not I follow them on your service, update me with interviews they do, or if a concert is in my area, rather than just updating me whenever their album eventually hits your servers.
