Definitely don't want to store types as columns in a DB, especially because of the inevitable thing that qualifies as two different types. In this situation, I'd usually take the first one (nullable cols) without much consideratio

Idk about the internal affairs, I just really don't like Python for web backend kind of things. It's taking them way too long to sort out parallelism and packaging, while NodeJS got both right from the start and gracefully upgrade

Aside from iTunes getting gimped, I don't feel like the Mac is neglected at all. Was annoyed about the 2016-2019 MBPs though.

Yeah, going from Intel to M1 was a huge improvement, but not in every way. So now they're closing all the other gaps, and it's getting even better.

Mostly, I trust the card that supports my software with the least issues.

There's nothing annoying about Nvidia cards though, unless of course you're using Linux.

Probably called that because it's smaller than the transaction of buying the game

What's the front door, WebUSB or something else like TLS 1.2?

localhost-only access is a reasonable compromise

In this case, it's probably because the alternatives are good enough, even if it's just that Firefox users open Chrome in specific instances where they want to connect to special hardware.

by hot_gril 2y ago
In a cross-platform way, kinda yeah. Especially on the Mac side where OS updates always break everything.
12.
by hot_gril 2y ago
At least I'm a little relieved that Firefox and Safari don't support that either.

It's supposedly doable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43361159 Maybe hasn't been done, but I agree with some of the other comments around here that if this were truly important, someone would've done i

If you even know what an ESP32 is, you can get a browser extension to use WebUSB. Very few users need this feature built-in, let alone enabled by default.

"The need funding from it somewhere" is the concerning part. Don't let desperate people run your browser. They already got caught injecting their own referral codes into links then just said "oh sorry."

by hot_gril 2y ago
Even a lot of reasonably tech-savvy people might not know the difference between the WebUSB consent popup and the security key popup.

by hot_gril 2y ago
Google should've asked me first, cause just seeing the name WebUSB, I said "wtf why is this even a thing, absolutely no."

Even before you hit big scale, there's a lot of boring work that great engineers won't want to do. And what really makes someone a great engineer is the ability to transform a hard problem to something regular engineers can handle

Save it for myself how, ditch half the work day to go to the gym? I'm going to work 9-5 either way.
21.
by hot_gril 2y ago
It's only a regular 9-5. Family is #1 priority, but that doesn't mean I don't take pride in my work. What I get in return is the ability to work remotely in my hometown while the manager wants the rest of the team coming into

I haven't heard of this, was mainly thinking about how Rome Total War (the original at least) misrepresented most factions and units in it, especially the Egyptians. There wasn't even an enjoyable reason for it.

Still more accurate most of the time than a lot of historical video games at least. I got a trippy one that was supposed to be about Da Vinci painting the Last Supper, but the people were moving, so I thought it was supposed to be the actua

If precedent is what decides core American tenants... Every immigrant group in history has learned English over time, or at least their children have. Even if the majority of the country were ESL, English would still be the most commonly un

Maybe there's a way to send messages/files over the covid19 protocol.

Canada also has an English vs French problem that cannot be resolved at this point.
28.
by hot_gril 2y ago
Nope, English only. I don't want my family's Persian or Arabic to be official either.

by hot_gril 2y ago
The country can accept immigrants without bending for them. And getting official docs in 10 languages makes people more wary of immigration.

Honestly yeah, AirDrop is part of Apple's lock-in.
