Apple adds a lot of value via the App Store for initial app purchase/download. I agree they add very minimal value for recurring subscriptions, and their fee should be dialled back to be inline with what card processors charge (because

Maybe context should be taken into account? I have no problems with people calling themselves doctors (whether fake or real) unless they are doing so in order to gain a certain advantage (trust, credibility, etc). I only have a problem when

Job hopping every few months as a contractor doesn't seem to be an issue. At least it isn't for me - recruiters and clients reach out to me despite that and nobody ever questioned it. > I am at a standstill on how to build up m

TLDR: this site converts your 24 words into an URL encrypted with a questionable key derived from a pattern and a color (from a dozen choices or so). This doesn't actually solve the problem of storing the resulting URL, and the added e

Doesn’t solve the issue of device fingerprinting. There are a lot of data points that can be used to create a near-unique fingerprint of a device.

iOS doesn’t provide a system-wide unique ID however there is still more than enough data (WiFi network names, device name, device type, IP address, etc) that Shitbook can uniquely fingerprint a device and identify a user.

I'm not sure they have playlists. They probably spend more time tweaking their system than actually listening to music on it, negating the need for a playlist.

I'm not sure what's worse. From my limited observation of flat-earthers on YouTube, they at least seem to be willing to do measurements but then either misinterpret the results (due to lack of knowledge) or knowingly twist them to

Where are you seeing this? Here in London I still get way more as a contractor then I would be full-time, like 50% more.

In most cases you can use the car port and just make a custom cable that bridges the two data pins together which tells the phone to use high current charging. The car’s port’s overcurrent protection will kick in if it’s an issue but I’ve g

iOS devices will outright not charge if there’s just 5V on the port. Even the lowest charging current requires some sort of resistor arrangement. Fortunately it seems like bridging the two data lines (essentially a 0 ohm resistor) is wh

Another problem with Bluetooth is that most devices cater to the lowest common denominator which means even though there are ways to make it better, most devices stick to older protocols to make sure it works with old, outdated garbage.

A lot of businesses have custom ways of working that can't be modelled in off-the-shelf ERP software - they need something custom to either bridge the gap or completely replace their current ERP for example. It's all custom, there

Meh. Wouldn’t recommend Shitpress. This niche itself doesn’t pay too well because prices are pushed down by so-called “developers” from third-world countries (they are bad, but clients don’t know any better and still end up going with them)

LinkedIn is how I got started. Recruiters are always hungry for fresh meat so it’s an easy way to get your first gigs and build relationships with clients directly. A blog might be good but honestly a lot of clients don’t know what they wan

Disable voicemail. This should frankly be the default anyway - voicemail is a relic of the past. Nowadays we have SMS or email for those who want to leave a message. Alternatively create your own voicemail (using Twilio or Asterisk or simil

I disagree with some of them being unused. This page lists some units like “rack unit” (length) and “jiffies” (time). They are domain-specific but not unused by any means - physical servers are measured in these rack units (1U, 2U, etc) and

Good. A lot of meme accounts are just spam, reposting the same crap over and over again with no attribution or credit to the original author. I also can’t feel bad for the people that lost their main source of income from this. If your main

Similar to Pinterest, they pollute search results with pages that ask you to login or signup before you can view the content, despite offering the content to search engines without the login requirement. I wish search engines would crack do

My advice - stop seeing yourself as a developer / software engineer and become a consultant. Start with contracting - you’ll still be doing software but instead of being employed you’re now running your own company offering solutions

Vagrant is using VirtualBox under the hood, and presumably the default VB config is to let the VM use two-way audio, so it preemptively opens both the output and mic channel in case the VM needs it.

You connect to other carriers directly. Some of them will connect you to other carriers, and so on. So for example if you’re a small operation you will just connect to one carrier like Twilio or Nexmo and it’s up to them to connect you to e

Just caller ID, and even then it seems like it’s between service providers only - you have to trust your carrier to validate signatures and reject bad/missing ones.
