The only factually incorrect claims here have come from you. You claimed that the iPad lacks "any developer tools". That's factually incorrect, as you've admitted and repeatedly tr…

This comment is bizarrely antagonistic for no reason and I would appreciate if you'd knock it off. I literally admitted I was incorrect in thinking that I could comfortably write c…

My use case didn't require an IDE. My main intent was to remote into my batteryless laptop, so in principle the iPad didn't need much functionality of its own. That said, I don't k…

I don't know, when I impulse bought my iPad Pro a few years ago to supplement my laptop that stopped charging, I did about 15 minutes of research and found a lot of people claiming…

Yeah, it's basically just a conspiracy theorist's screed, poorly disguised as some kind of "COINTELPRO training manual". This part tells you the person's mindset: > A second highly…

I find that even more bizarre tbh. Thst seems like the perfect place to document the Scanner class.

Unfortunately, enterprises are intensely risk averse. I worked at a place where we could only generate proper certs by manually submitting a ticket to IT and waiting probably days …

I found the source and the stat sorta accounts for that in a different way, because it reports any at-fault accident in the driver's history, regardless of whether or not it was wi…

I hate that this article doesn't link to the original report. I found it here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/traffic-crashes-cost-am...

They should team up with the Financial Modeling World Cup and do a hybrid EVE/Excel esports event. (Reference for those who are unfamiliar: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/08/e…

I'm pretty sure just giving app developers more time to prepare for price increases would've been enough. If they'd given Apollo and RIF 6 months notice of the new pricing instead …

Reddit also offloads the complexity of forum management from moderators and removes the friction of registration. If you want to create a traditional forum, you have to figure out …

Your comments disappeared because the sub went private. Reddit won't show any comments from private subs you aren't allowed to view, even comments that you made.

Quoting Wikipedia because I'm lazy: > The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess. It is named after its …

Why do they have to be for-profit corporations in the first place? Wikipedia, Internet Archive, and Archive of our Own are nonprofits that are capable of handing a large numbers of…

The post doesn't say "There were three units". That's a quote you made up. The post says "the original CSS specification included 3 relative units". That is factually true. The ori…

Communications of the ACM is pretty good and does come as an actual magazine in the mail.

I wonder if there's been any observable correlation between JSON support in the major SQL databases and the decreased (or increased?) adoption of NoSQL document databases like Mong…

Tangentially, I think this explains the conspiracy theory that ad companies are spying on everyone's phones and serving ads based on what we talk about in real life. Think about al…

And yet there's still zero remotely plausible evidence for it. Nobody has caught continuous audio feeds being transmitted from smart devices to the cloud (which would be noticeable…

Yeah, I plugged a NUC into my TV, installed Pop OS on it, and got a Pepper Jobs USB gyro-remote to control it, and it instantly upgraded my living room. I previously used my PS4 fo…

The quoted section says "both the former employee and the tipster", so "the tipster" here clearly refers to the non-employee who would presumably not have signed any NDA with Apple…

I pay for it because I can afford it, but honestly I haven't been super impressed. GPT-4 is definitely better at some tasks and moderately less prone to hallucination, but it botch…

It uses Racket as a teaching language, but the concepts should be generally applicable. The preface explains the goals and ideas behind the book: https://htdp.org/2023-3-6/Book/par…
