I use BitWarden on iOS and it is pretty much same as the default iOS auto fill (which is iCloud?). It uses the system auto fill service and the detecting of password fields to show the auto fill option and filling the password is done by that service, not BitWarden. You can actually use two active auto fill services (say BitWarden and iCloud, I did when I was testing the waters), you will get a prompt to choose which one you want to use.

Sublime is slow though. Both loading and editing. For a native editor I would expect it to be fast and snappy (like Notepad++ on Windows or Textmate on Mac). But the speed and responsiveness is similar to VSCode. The Windows version of sublime is faster and snappier though.

Because sex is intimate and personal. Today getting involuntarily filmed kissing is more harmful than involuntarily filmed playing golf, and kissing is socially acceptable in most western cultures.

Irrespective of one’s moral views, whether one consented (to the act, or filming the act or publicly sharing the video) is a serious concern.

This situation (interviewing for someone else) is not uncommon in the IT/Software contracting field. Even more common is someone sitting across the room from the interviewee and giving answers. Sometimes through headphones hidden under hair. And I am taking about pre covid times where even if the interview was remote the job was more likely than not in office.

What does the manager do when this happens? I have been there. The answer is simple, I did exactly what I would do if the exact candidate I interviewed showed up but fell short of expectations (say used google extensively, or the questions were theoretical and they were good talkers - happens with QA and Project Manager jobs). If they are borderline, give them a task, see if they are able to complete it. A Manager should do it anyway, interviews are hard. Most companies have probation periods for this reason.

Why does it happen/what’s in it for the candidate/contracting firm? For the candidate a few weeks or months of experience that they can add to their resume. Do it in 3 or 4 places and suddenly you are a mid level developer. Hopefully they also learn a bit of programming in the meantime. For the contracting firm any money is money. Sketchy IT contracting forms routinely do this and worse.

Does this work on BigSur? I have used it for years but have not been able to make it work after I upgraded to BigSur.

They apparently do but only within a users computer (or account, I don't remember). I would be pretty uncomfortable they comparing my files checksum to a master list of sorts

In this case, these are very complementary and can even be considered the same thing. the core Android auto idea is to give a driving interface with limited features, less distractions, large legible texts etc. It is by default displayed in the car displays but there can be cars which do not support this. For those situations Google had a solution to display the same interface on the phone. This was especially useful for people to get used to this technology before upgrading their car. Google probably decided that there are enough bee cars and enough after market units with this technology that they don't have to support this anymore. I think it is too early considering there are a lot of older cars on the road and there is a acute shortage of new cars.

This sounds awfully similar to 'why can't they eat cake'.

So taxes are subscription to living in a city/country? Kind of, but you can opt out of subscriptions.

The are critical pieces of the modern world yes. But not a utility. One cannot live without a utility and utilities generally have a monopoly in most places. If my power or water company bans me for some reason I am toast. I have to endure undue hardship to get something that provides may be 10% of the utility (own well, water pump, generator...). Internet itself (the pipes) on the other hand are probably a utility. I prefer the natural gas like solution though for internet. Someone owns the infrastructure and it is heavily regulated. Multiple other companies resell it, provide addon services etc. But search, email etc are like cars in the US. Essential, but also a business operating in a competitive space.

And, in my experience, a lot of noise. Way more than a regular fan for the same perceived amount of air flow.

I will try this when I get to my mac but such apps in the past have caused significant CPU load for me.

> Even substantially expanded rail will never solve the problem of "I want to get from point A to point B, as quickly as possible, whenever I'm ready to leave" in a fundamentally different way.

But a substantially improved autonomous car driving experience - with cars communicating with each other (actively or passively) to avoid congestion, avoiding parking needs by being on the move always and increasing "bandwidth" by driving close to there other cars and still being safe - may look like railroads on all our roads. Bringing both these worlds closer to each other.

Thanks for this. I was watching it yesterday and thought 'there is no way everyone was ok with bicycles' when he said that. It is not human nature. I also think a healthy dose of skepticism is good as long as we fall back to scientific data.

I hear this argument a lot from Indians, that Gandhi was loyal to the British and he helped install a pro British government. I don't know what the proposed better alternative is. The British was ruling the country for the better part of 4 centuries by then, and changing it to something else would take years of effort. Combine this with different princely states not wanting to be part of independent India, the economic realities, and the looming threat from China - you have a recipe for a failed state. I would have preferred India not colonized at all, but there was no better alternative than this for India to become independent from the British.

Armed uprisings were few and far in-between in India. Subash Chandra Bose was the only one that came any close to having a successful army but even if he was more successful than he really was, it wouldn't last long with him aligning with the Axis in WW2.

> Gandhi whether you like it or not was a British citizen. Except the British never saw it this way. One can argue that if Britain identified all colonial citizens as their own, the Gandhian movement in India would not have gained a lot of traction at all. One of their first demands was equal treatment.

The public whiteboard is very interesting. It is a nice way to showcase collaborating capabilities. It would have been a great messy canvas except for that one user or bot determined to erase everything someone else draws :-)

> Luckily they could refer me to a local shop nearby which was open at that time

Not telling that is the case but happens all the time in India. The local shop and this guy have a profit sharing deal :-)

Not OP. But similar situation. My name is of the form <given nane> <father's given name> (a bit more complicated than that, see my other comment). So if my father's given name is Jack, my name may be Michael Jack. In my native setting I am always referred to as Mr Michael. Very rarely Mr Michael Jack. Never Mr Jack, because that is how my father would be referred to as. So in a western setting I am almost always called Mr Jack and in my mind it is my dad, not me.

I did not know that this was common in Pakistan. I am from south India and my name (and almost all names in this part of the country) are of the form. <GivenName> <Father's Given Name>. This gets less common as one moves towards the north of the country, where <Given Name> <Family Name> is more common. So I had assumed the Pakistan would be same given its proximity to and shared culture with North India. (actually the name is <initial> <given nane> where the initial is the first letter of the father/mother's name. When expanded to satisfy the north - esp for passports or in a western system, it becomes <first>-<Father's first> or <fathers first> - <first>. the reason it is that way in the south was related to the self respect movement aimed at eliminating caste among others. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_name#Tamil_Nadu)

Tight margins and Apple don't belong in the same sentence

I like how 10 years back or today the answer to such pishing issues (then specifically tragetted to IE, now Chrome) is 'use Firefox'.

Interesting you say that. When I grew up I was always told that four legged furniture was more stable than three legged ones. Three legged stools/tables were common (but not chairs I think) when I grew up and I was always cautioned against toppling. It could be because three legged furniture created a virtual triangle shape (Even if the top of the furniture itself was not a triangle, circular ones were very common) and when one puts weight on the side of the base of the triangle, like siting on the edge, the furniture is more likely to topple than a similar action on a four legged stool.

The skull case NUC also comes with a non skull case in the package, for those that don't want a skull PC.

Off topic but do you have recommendations for cheap rootable phones? (LG or otherwise)
