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 tried to walk back. Because you're de

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 code on my iPad, a point that largely agrees with what y

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 know what you mean by "the lack of any de

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 that you can comfortably code on an iPad Pro. That tur

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 effective technique (which you

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 to get it back, giving us zero hope of applying meaningful a

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 with that particular car. Thus, even if the Porsche isn&#

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 of 30 days, the devs would probably have adap

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 how to host it, what forum software you want to use, how tha

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 users creating and accessing a large volume of content.

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 original CSS spec lists only em

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 MongoDB. It would be interesting to do some bulk analysis o

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 all the stuff ChatGPT and GPT-4 can do with even minimal

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 due to increased network traffic and bandwidth usage)

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 for watching everything, but having a full desktop OS is just

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 botched the first couple scripting tasks I gave it, so it di

As someone who spent a lot of time playing with VB6 as a kid, Gambas is an amazing throwback. It feels like the VB6 I remember, even though my memories are vague and tinted with nostalgia. In other words, it's not a perfect recreation

As mentioned, the example you quoted is from a pure-AWK JSON parser. I don't dispute that AWK has issues, but AWK is one of those languages that magically coerces strings to numbers, so you can just write `"1" + 2 + "3.5
