iOS has supported ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), I think since day one, but at least for a long while. You can convert FLACs to ALAC without any loss in quality obviously, but …

Hashes cannot be undone, so... this is just a tool to tell you how long a string of hex characters is and show you a list of hash functions with that length?

If you wish to undertand and to be understood, I agree that vocabulary is very important. I assume from the class of errors you made (understand instead of understood; know instead…

I think the bit about imitating a foreign accent in order to sound more like a native in your target language is one of the better pieces of advice in this post; at least, doing so…

Wow, that's extremely impolite.

Assuming Apple is only using cookies for technical purposes, like providing a way to log in or use a shopping cart, then there is no need to use a banner. Google needs the banner b…

Honestly, it looks like HN does right now, albeit with a different color scheme.

In the keynote today, they did explicitly mention new fitness features like calorie tracking with what they’re calling “Oculus Move”. There’s a link to an article about it at the e…

You can probably read the article via the outline version: https://outline.com/https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-c...

The article you linked is littered with misinformation. I would not recommend that anyone read it. It asserts "facts", like the false statement that wearing a mask lowers blood oxy…

The second argument is a Rectangle, which means you'd be repeating 'Rectangle' twice in one line with the second style.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is due to FOSTA/SESTA legislation

At least for wide screen ratios, there’s 1366x768 and 1440x900

Stuff like this is the reason I don’t connect smart TVs to the internet. If I need web content on the TV, I can connect my laptop with HDMI. The TV should be no more than a display…

I only first heard about this company earlier this year, and was pretty excited because they were the only way to buy DRM-free lossless, CD-quality music at a reasonable price (wit…

I donated a week or so ago. The Internet Archive has come in handy many times for me, not just for the Wayback Machine but also things like their live music archives. They're an in…

Julian is the person she is collaborating with. If you follow the link after that sentence there is a link to his blog.

Who's to say Signal will protect you any better against targeted remote-code-execution attacks from well-funded cyber mercenaries like NSO?

This piece isn't about Americans or their reactions to this horrible situation.

What is your goal in bringing up these unrelated massacres? Neither one is the same as the Tiananmen massacre, as in neither of those two cases was the government killing its own p…

Youtube used to do that, until at some point they added the “bell” feature and converted all subscriptions to subscriptions-without-a-bell which means only some videos get put in y…
