I used to work in marketing as a dev and this shit never made sense to me. I didn't investigate like TFA but I am 0% surprised by the finding. Incentives are all misaligned.

They take pictures of you sleeping.

I can't wait for this shit to become so pervasive that I only read paper books.

It's messed up when some random spyware Chinese camera is safer to use than anything made in the US.

Yup. Haven't used Word in decades.

I've been using it for years, too. I have it on my bookmarks bar, but this will certainly be better, I'd think.

It depends on how much separation you need. If you want different bookmarks, history, or settings per, then I believe you need profiles to make that happen.

IMHO, the top way to get better is to code a lot in a space you're unfamiliar with. And make it a substantial project, not just some little toy thing. If you want to learn mobile dev, choose an app you want to clone, and start working on it. It will be slow and painstaking going, but you'll learn a ton.

When you're stuck, don't AI. Use standard search because you'll learn more that way.

And understand that people who are skilled in the art have been learning for years. Don't let that dissuade you. Just take it one step at a time and someday you'll have been learning for years, too. ✋🖐️🖖🤘

Apparently if they get flagged as underage when they aren't.

Yet another example of how requiring ID is a shit idea.

FFS. How are these ideas remotely patentable in the first place? Software patents are pure dogshit.

I couldn't get Netflix to play at high resolution on my old Roku because of some DRM crap. And I was a legit customer! Once again, piracy would have provided a superior experience.

I have a Kobo and it does OK. Nothing special.

 

Neat article about avoiding a memcpy in a circular buffer.

 

I've never run a big system like this, but like the lead character in the story, I always figured exponential backoff would be enough. Turns out there's more.

 

This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

 

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you write a C program? How does your code transform from lines of text into a fully functional binary executable? If you’ve been curious about the intricacies of the C program compilation process, you’ve come to the right place.
