I agree with the sentiment that mistakes get made, which is exactly why puberty blockers are an ideal treatment option at that age: to give kids time to figure themselves out and m…

So this is an MDM-specific issue, then? The headline here on HN seems to imply it's an OS-wide issue that would affect all Big Sur users.

If that person is underage, yup. But also, are there social media apps where you have to opt in to notifications? At least with native apps, I've only ever seen opt-out behavior, w…

With recipes, I suspect it depends on how the recipe is written. Usually they're quite prose-heavy, and require a lot of linguistic parsing before you start to get the meaning out …

I think that's definitely true for a lot of people. But there also seems to be a more active sort of intense denialism, fueled by a need to score political points at all costs, tha…

But even without DRM, if you go with the default settings and don't download your music locally, you lose access to it if they decide to remove it from their catalog. Same goes for…

No doctor should be writing that email in the first place; it would be an example of such a flagrantly negligent treatment of PHI that cryptographic signatures and reputability are…

Why it's suggested and why it's better are separate questions. It's suggested because the author has a vested interest in 1Password. As for why it's better than the browser's passw…

Absolutely, yeah, you’re supposed to! People don’t, though, hence the (still small) fire risk.

Worth noting that the mix is also typically not the final stage of production, or at least of the signal flow. At minimum, there’s almost always some sort of dynamic processing, su…

> the tax form should be upheld as the gold standard Should, yeah. > Was this issue due to paper tax forms doing a calculation one way, but the IRS's implementation doing it anothe…

What I read back when the bans were lifted around here was that cell phone use correlated with people opening the car door and rummaging around, which created a static electricity …

People are downvoting without explaining, so I'll take a shot. First, yes, we calculate our own income tax, but the IRS also calculates it separately, and if the two disagree, they…

Same. And it's much more descriptive than "a flock of owls" (the author's preference), given that owls don't flock.

I’m an American who was in high school in the late ‘90s, and I can’t recall ever having seen such a map before this discussion (though obviously they exist). Perhaps it was changed…

They’re not dual identifiers; one is an argument label and the other is the parameter name. Maybe it’s because I come from an ObjC background, but this is one of my favorite aspect…

JS works that way with plain for loops, but not for-in or for-of. The following fails on the last line, for example: for (const i in [1,2,3,4]) { alert(i); } alert("i is now " + i)…

In every language I’ve used with a for-in construct (or equivalent), the iterated variable is scoped to the loop. That seems to be implied by the syntax, too; it’s equivalent to “f…

TFA mentions in-app purchases as a differentiating factor, and personally I suspect that's what's really driving this. Streaming a video doesn't expose a way to make purchases that…

How would it be a disservice, exactly? "We help families have children" covers that case. (Well, it covers the surrogacy case -- this company's services presumably wouldn't be need…

I'll add to the chorus of other AMAB trans folks here and say thank you for being so receptive to this suggestion (and thank you to odomojuli for bringing it up so eloquently). My …

Speaking for myself, I definitely had some instances of the former. But I was relieved to learn years later than "Cow Tools" was an instance of the latter.

Surely you could fetch the favicon asynchronously and update the address bar or tabs or wherever you display it only after the other assets are loaded? It’s not like the DOM has el…
