Enough people have voiced their opinion on this tool but I just tried it. The results were underwhelming. It fails to find obvious links between sites, makes completely incorrect correlations while claiming 100% matches, and has no way of f

Depends on why OP doesn't like Electron. To be clear to everyone: Electron and React Native are not alike. Electron is a big web browser. React Native work completely differently: It neither renders, computes, or runs the same. React N

What you experienced may be a baseline change when using noise cancellation. It happens with all noise cancelling headphones after long use (for me). I am NOT an authoritative source on it but what I heard was that the brain makes a baselin

VPN clients traditionally virtualizes your network interface entirely. Everything acts as if your are actually physically present because it's virtualized nicely. It's great because it "just works". These "non-VPN&q

Yes, but does GDPR require the delivery format to be practical? Over time, if not happening already, you could probably see companies trying to introduce randomness / changing the format every so often for the sake of blocking this.

Ok, so some feedback: I'm sad to report I stopped testing already. For my particular job I tend to debug and work with large files, especially JSON. A lot of debugging apps and looking through large crash logs, then looking at applicat

Agreed. Their reviews are usually to the point, objective statements with tasteful opinions. This article was unlike others and his opinions were in the way of actually hearing about how it was. I am not even in the market for one yet I do

To straight up answer your question: Yes, I have friends who really like the iPad so much and wants to do development on it. Will it practically work? I really don't know. Until I see Xcode and/or Docker on iOS/iPadOS I am n

I will be giving it a go for the next few days to see if it'll work for React Native development.

Yeah it bothers me too sometimes. You can use the mouse to drag it to a new location and it'll remember it. It will also snap to alignment points so it's easy to revert the location again.

A few tips for Spotlight that made me stop using apps like Quicksilver and Alfred: 1. Typing something and pressing CMD+B will open a browser and do a Google search for that 2. Typing math works now 3. You can change your Spotlight preferen

Yes, I have. "Microsoft React Native" aka React Native for Windows is not that great for the public yet. There are basic layout bugs that need to be addressed before it's good enough that I'd recommend it. But if you are

Both. The headlines link to websites filled with fake articles that relink to shopping sites or directly to those websites despite being unrelated to the ad.

Yes, steam is responsible for refunding. In EU there is protections like this so you are allowed 14 days (if I recall correctly) to return an item bought online because you had no way to review it "in person". If you consider this

In any native text field, try a few CTRL-hotkeys you'd type in Terminal: CTRL + K (delete to end of line) CTRL + D (delete in place aka delete key (not backspace)) CTRL + A (go to start of line) CTRL + E (go to end of line)

Was Opera's "Turbo" mode not a similar feature? A feature launched in the early mobile/late dail-up days. Albeit the proxy CDN was provided by Opera. It would take proxy JPEGs, compress them more, serve them from an edge

Neurons have weight and bias. Weight is multiplied, bias is added. Really that simple. Here are examples of equivalent notations that may make it more familiar: y = 2⋅x + b or y = a⋅x + b - x would be the input to the neuron, often

All the videos of painting elephants I've seen include a handler that very clearly is holding their tusk or ear. I'd absolutely love this to be true but it quite honestly seems like puppeteering?

It will probably happen, but will take a while. My bet is that this is what Apple is working on. They will launch a version of Apple Card that is free of MasterCard. So far it's been a really long-haul play where Apple has spent a lot

It used to be true that during a Facebook Connect session the user was asked if they wanted to share their email or not. I faintly remember you could even choose a proxy fb e-mail aka "fake email". Did they remove that feature?

I strongly disagree. We should prefer to not divide the world if we can. The sentiment "If they can be bad, so can I" is not the recipe for a world I want to build. I believe the world would regress if we kept acting like that.

You are not crazy. There is a bug in the last 2 minor releases of Safari where you can type in or paste a link and it'll just end up reloading the same page. You can do this several times. It drives me mad, quite honestly. But it is in

Generally, no. But there are ways for an app to stay active in the background. Some are grounds for App Store suspension. Music playing apps may stay somewhat active in the background. However, I don't know if the clipboard API will
