A lot of years ago, while living in Beijing, I once bought ticket to a morning (9:30 or so) show in a theatre. Then came that day, it rained unexpectedly, so I ended up getting there 10min late. When I get into the theatre, I found out that

I'm not sure it works that way. _In general_ before the recent announcement you are supposed to sign the debug build (what you feed into adb to install) with your debug key that's different from the release nor upload key, and the

I tried to use fish on some of my debian servers that i only rarely update packages/kernel, so I don't have to carry my bashrc there, but found their completion for apt is pretty naive. for example after updated kernel i would wan

I would recommend https://cactus.chat/ , which is based on matrix. it has guest support (so people does not need a matrix account to comment), but if you use your own matrix account, you are essentially joining a matrix room

Yea I saw your other reply later and agree on most of it. But I'd say there's a balance between simplicity of the API and more specific cases. For example they can make an optional api to io.Reader to provide size info, and maybe

The request body on the client do a lot of other things than reading the body once (an io.Reader can only be read once). There's Content-Length, and there's also the need to read it multiple times in case a redirect happens (so th

Garmin's hardware, including the hardware of their smartwatches, are very tempting. They are designed to be easy to use even with gloves, have good battery life, and on some high end they have solar and/or 40-meter scuba diving ra

I'm not sure what UX you are talking about, the majority of the websites supporting u2f/passkey have UX to manage your u2f keys/passkeys. (the only exception I can think of is early Twitter when it first implemented u2f, and

A few years ago we added `GOAMD64=v3` [1] to how we build our go binary into docker images, as all our production servers have support to that and that can give us some free performance boost. Then it turned out Rosetta does not support tha

Compare to European cities San Jose definitely is bad on bike infrastructure. But if you compare to neighbor cities like Santa Clara (low bar, I know), it's pretty ok. Sam Liccardo at least actually cares about cycling around the city,
