    The most recent draft of the Midway Rising Specific Plan ( https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/2025-09/dsd_app... ) says Les Girls stays; the development doesn't go north …

    Agreed - Plenty of hitters have experience with it as well, since it's been around the minors for even longer than this season. I saw it in practice a few times this year during sp…

    I agree entirely. It's especially frustrating since the DeviceActivity framework comes close, but doesn't provide enough detail for users to allow apps to track this info. The best…

    Hey - if you're interested in prototyping with real data, we've built a platform for stuff like this -- Fulcra Context ( https://www.fulcradynamics.com/ ). We have an iOS app that …

    Cool! There are also folks on Bandcamp who have floppy releases as a thing. Here's one: https://powerlunch.bandcamp.com/merch

    As the article notes, DEC's OSes largely dodged the bullet by having good workarounds and in-kernel implementations for the missing instructions. Open-source VAX OSes weren't so lu…

    "This is Visa's OCE, or Operations Center East, the biggest, newest, and most advanced of its U.S. data centers. It is a data-security heaven--and Visa's acknowledgment that hacker…

    It's certainly easy to use, as long as the server remains up. But do I still have full control over the code that I upload to you, or does it count as "user-generated content" in h…

    Also, your terms of service ( http://www.getinpulse.com/terms/ ) states that you claim rights over information I upload to sites run by Allerta. That must include code I upload to …

    Your python script uploads my code to your server and sends me back a binary in return. What happens when that server goes down? Getting people up and writing code on devices quick…

    This is a very hacker-unfriendly device. I wouldn't buy one. The SDK's compilation tool doesn't invoke a compiler; it uploads your code to a service running off of http://174.129.2…

    What's the actual hardware inside? Do you expose (quasi-)standard ARM JTAG?

    Comment #1843931

    it's both. it's a hardware device with an rj-11 (normal modular phone) jack and a basic line simulator that lets you make calls using SIP. there's also a (pretty cheap) service tha…

    You're right that it should just fail gracefully, and that people shouldn't use the data for anything long-lived. I'm not so sure the latter won't happen often enough for compatibi…

    To expand on the first part: with something up front saying "this key is signed using system FOO", you'll be able to support multiple systems in the future. This means that you'll …

    I can tell you're pushing for terseness in the signed text (every character does count), but I'd definitely consider explicitly describing the cryptosystem and version you're using…

    You can empirically determine exactly what's in an opaque set of anything (NSArray's various public access methods) and exactly what part of the area of a view is covered by a subv…

    "The UIView hierarchy itself is undocumented. The ordering of the contents is undefined, may change at any future date, and can not be relied upon." This is exactly what I said abo…

    You're wrong. You don't have to use a single method or class that is undocumented to add or remove stuff to the camera control's UI. Here is a link to the documentation of the clas…
