I can go into Settings -> Maps -> Location -> Never, and then when I use Apple Maps it says "Location Services is off" and can't figure out where I am. Is that different than what you are talking about?

Was it these guys[0]?

Does this support multiple time zones simultaneously? We have clients that are in different time zones, and (for example) they all want weekly summary emails every Monday morning at 6am, but in their own timezone. So California users get theirs at 6am US/Pacific, New York users get theirs at 6am US/Eastern, and we want to be able to handle this without having to worry about updating crontabs the night of a daylight savings change.

For this reason, we are using fcron[0] instead of regular cron, which allows you to specify the timezone at the start of each crontab line. If this tool supports that sort of scenario, it might be worth switching.

iOS has this too (Share button -> Add to Home Screen) but I don’t know if it’s as easy as Android.

To answer your specific question about finding the email addresses you have created via HideMyEmail:

- open Settings - tap your username/name at the top of Settings - tap iCloud - tap Hide My Email - you can look for any emails or matches you want

Steam exists on macOS, but honestly it feels like a second class citizen to me. Lots of the games that used to work fine no longer work because they are 32-bit and are no longer supported on current macOS releases, which only support 64-bit binaries. We can argue back and forth all day about whether this is Apple’s fault or the developers’ fault, but a key giveaway to me is that Portal and Portal 2, which are (arguably at least) flagship games for Valve, have not have 64-but releases. I get that it’s not as simple as a recompile & release, but to my mind it’s a bit of a giveaway that macOS doesn’t seem to have enough gaming market share to force a re-release on 64-bit for all these games.

My mother was prescribed a glass of Guinness a day by her Ob/Gyn when she was pregnant with me in the 70s for the same reason.

Apple computers come with macOS pre-installed, so technically you don’t have to install anything. It’s not possible, as far as I know, to purchase a Mac without macOS already installed.

They ceased their free service in 2014 and were acquired by Oracle in 2016[0]. Since then I have used DuckDNS[1] instead and it has worked well for me.

You can probably do an in-kind transfer (see [0] and the 4th FAQ at [1]) to another brokerage with no capital gains hit because you’re not actually selling the asset.

Not the GP, but I think the point is that he can’t get LTE at all in the desert 10+ miles outside of Ely, NV, because there are no cell towers within range. He doesn’t get 5G speeds there, but he does get LTE speeds on the 5G bands because the range is so much better. Full disclosure: I am a 5G doubter, so this is interesting to me, and I am by no means a 5G expert, so I could be totally wrong about this.

The most effective presentation style I have ever seen used literally hundreds (if not thousands) of slides, but in a way I had never encountered before. I’ve heard it described as the Lawrence Lessig presentation style, but my introduction to it was a presentation about “Identity 2.0” by Dick Hardt, and his is still the best I’ve seen. It absolutely blew me away, both as a presentation style and a mechanism for conveying information/message (ideally they’re the same thing, but I have sat through some presentations that are entertaining but devoid of content).

Dick Hardt’s presentation is at https://youtube.com/watch?v=RrpajcAgR1E&t=6s - the content has aged a little (though less than I expected before I just rewatched it) but if you’ve never seen it, I encourage you to watch it; it’s not that long, it will feel even shorter than it is because it’s so engaging, and it certainly illustrated to me how important communication skills are and improved my own presentation style.

I resemble that remark!

(apologies to all; too good to pass up)

I can purchase audio files in 24-bit 192KHz with no DRM from his website. Although it's not a physical item like a CD, I can in practical terms do whatever I want with such a file once I've bought it, including burning it to a compact disc (or even Blu-Ray audio). In what sense is that worse than a purchase of a 16-bit 44.1 KHz CD?

You may know this already, but holding your finger on the keyboard space bar turns the entire keyboard into a trackpad you can use to slide your finger around and position the caret where you want a lot more easily. Not very discoverable, I agree.

It’s worth pointing out that if you are not the one initiating the call, then this is a legitimate attack vector, and not just via SMS text message or email two factor but also any type of OTP. The attack goes like this: (1) given that the whole point of two-factor auth is to prevent access to your account in the event that your primary authentication tokens (usually a username and password) are compromised, let’s assume for this attack that a bad actor already knows your username and password. (2) the attacker calls you up and says “this is <your bank>”, then (3) the attacker logs into your account with the username and password they already know (4) this either triggers an email or text message with the second factor, or if you use a hardware token or an app then the code is available there. Either way, the attacker requests you to read back the code over the phone (5) the attacker uses this secondary code to gain access to your account, and can then take any action including changing your password and 2nd factor setup. I think this is the reason security teams set up these messages to say things like “NEVER share this code!” and the like.

10Gbps was already an option on the Intel Mac Minis. My guess is that Apple envisioned a use case for it to be a file server or similar.

The advantage of having it in a comment vs in a commit message is that the source is immediately available to another developer browsing the code. Otherwise they will have to use git blame (or equivalent) to see why you did it that way.

Disclosure: I own and use Apple hardware both for personal and business use. I am less than perfectly happy with both their mobile and general computing platforms (especially the latter, macOS, which crashes with alarming irregularity for me).

The parent comment raises a point which I frequently see in HN threads: Apple, despite deficiencies, solves concrete privacy problems for regular, non-tech users, often in ways the users haven’t thought of ahead of time. I often see comments such as these upvoted; yet they have no responses, neither in the form of rebuttals nor supporting confirmations. What gives here? Is there some silent majority which prefers not to weigh in on these matters, or is this merely observation bias oh my part?

Edit: syntax

It doesn't show up in my Alexa app (iOS), and I am running the latest version (I have auto-update enabled). I only see Recognized Voices, Guest Connect, Voice Purchasing and Workouts. I see online references to this setting as long ago as November 2020[1], so it's concerning that it's still missing for me.

Edit: I just realized that all my Echo devices are 2nd generation, which apparently don't support Sidewalk[2]. I wonder if the menu item only shows up if you have devices that support it?

On macOS, I have scrollbars always show. The setting is in System Preferences -> General -> Show scroll bars -> "Always".

On iOS, I definitely prefer no scrollbars, but I don't think there's a way to always display them.

This happened yesterday morning also, DNS queries to .ws domains would result in NXDOMAIN. It also seemed intermittent - some clients would resolve names, some would not.

Edit: See also this thread on CloudFlare: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/certain-broadband-provide.... It appears the TLD DNS servers for .ws are having issues.

Edit 2: this is being tracked here: https://www.opensrsstatus.com/

The 1st Amendment only limits what Congress can do, it doesn’t say anything about what public or private companies have to do with respect to freedom of speech: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

IANAL, but I guess if Congress makes a law forcing Twitter or Facebook to abridge US citizens’ freedom of speech, then Congress would be violating the 1st amendment. Is that what you meant?

I used your exact wording and it did exactly what you said: created an alarm named "Timer" set for 3PM. I also did it with Siri's language set to "English (United Kingdom)" and "English (Ireland)" and it still did the same thing, so this idiosyncrasy appears to be independent of which language Siri is set to (at least within the set of varieties of English it supports).

I have been somewhat conflicted/despairing about Taiwan’s response (only 77 cases and 1 death as of right now, 2020-Mar-17, despite reslly cloze ties with China and an almost equally early onset) since I read this: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762689 a couple of weeks ago. Paragraph 2 is especially instructive. I have historically been dead against the type of cross referencing and identification this article discusses, but their capability for pulling multiple disparate sources together to allow tracing, categorization and enforced tracking of all individuals is massively impressive. We really need to either figure out a way to execute on these capabilities without revoking privacy, or else accept that some granting of privacy (whether to Google or another entity) will be inevitable.

To put this in perspective, especially since it’s difficult for humans to intuitively appreciate exponential growth, and assuming the conservative 6 days doubling rate, and starting with today’s US death count of 61 (2020-MAR-15):

- on 8 Apr US will be just under 1000 deaths. Scary, but that’s almost a month away - on 2 May, deaths will be ~15,000 - on 20 May, deaths will be ~125,000 - on 7 June, deaths will be ~1,000,000 - on 1 July, deaths will be ~16,000,000 - on 19 July, deaths will be ~128,000,000 - by end of 2020, deaths would be over 17,000 trillion if the US population was infinite and mitigating factors such as herd immunity didn’t kick in, but you get the general idea

This is all presuming the existing political/societal response and herd immunity not kicking in (which it won’t in the US until around the 200MM mark). Social distancing will lessen this massively, which is why it’s so important.

Looks like the author already addressed this - the README now has instructions on configuring /etc/sudoers to run the script without requiring the user’s password. See https://github.com/bradleymackey/turbo-boost-disable/issues/... although https://github.com/bradleymackey/turbo-boost-disable/issues/... points out another security hole with that approach.

What about 20300302, 20400402, etc?

Your conclusion is correct, but the reason I take issue is that that’s not the thesis of OP. OP’s original subject/headline suggests that, or questions why, Rust is generally slow vs PHP, and uses a regex example as the “proof”. A person who didn’t read the Reddit comments, or who is less versed in critical thinking, may accept the example as a valid proof of the thesis, instead of simply noting the fact that Rust may not be as good at regex as it is at other things. If the Reddit subject was “Rust is worse than PHP at regex”, nobody would bat an eyelid and the resulting conversational threads would have a different tenor (and your conclusion would and should be the same).

Having a full combination of first + family name doesn't really help for identification purposes, though: "John Smith" may not be quite as unidentifiable/ambiguous as "Mohammed, son of Mohammed, grandson of Mohammed", but it's not too far off it either.

In general, websites don't depend on these names for identification; if a site refused to sign me up because I shared a name with another "Smith, John" then I would rightly be irritated. So why do (many) sites insist on collection first and last names separately, as opposed to just a "full name" field that would be used to address me on the site or via email? Is it purely a data collection / advertising / monetization thing?
