Agree with this on many levels. Some people idolize movie directors but in the most simplistic view everyone else is doing the “real work”. Not everyone needs to do everything. And if someone’s amazing idea can get out of their head and ont

Apple Pay and Google Pay work with an existing card for normal (non-IAP) purchases. I don’t like rent seeking either but in this case it’s the standard CC payment flow. Nothing additional, just better security. What makes a normal CC better

Where is the best place a layman can dig into this statement “You do this by taking advantage of the fact that the superposition is a periodic function and the amplitude repeats.”? I’ve seen articles hinting at this in an obtuse way but I’d

You can. But then the only time it realizes that the code has been updated is when you update the script or touch it. It’s a minor annoyance but it adds up when making lots of changes. Periodically deleting the cache works too but also anno

I haven’t used strtok in a long time but my recollection is that it mutates the original string by placing a NULL value at the next delimiter so “hello world” would become “hello<0x00>world” if splitting on spaces. This lets you loop

I use WebRTC in non-browser applications primarily. For those systems you can use mDNS. I have been working on WebRTC a lot lately. If you have ideas on how you’d solve this issue I’d take a stab at implementing them. I’ve built a demo that

You knowing your subnet is not the issue. The other party needs to know it. WebRTC needs info about where to try to connect. It doesn’t specify the signaling method which is how you get that information and share it. If you’re already on th

Because in the beginning SMS support was important and the 140 character limit worked well with the SMS 160 character limit.

They’ve been doing this with a lot of products for a long time. “Today we announce iPhone … with iPhone you can do anything!” I think it is very strange.

I used to report broken tracks to Google when I had Google Music. I gave up. I’d get a form letter that said to reset my cookies, uninstall and reinstall the app, etc. every time. I’d write and explain the problem was with the same song, on

I love the idea of this. I’ve struggled to get a setup like this to work on MacOS though. Which X server is the “right” one to use? Which is the easiest? Is there some way to make it work seamlessly with built in tools? As an aside, instead

Take a look at TermKit - https://github.com/unconed/TermKit Long abandoned but I’d love something like this. Someone I know tried to revive it but Node has changed so much that they gave up. I would donate to an effort

I think you should add the steps (or some links) on how to start this image on a Mac. With that missing “glue” I would definitely try it. Right now I’m anticipating that after setting up cloud-init I’m on my own to figure out how to run it.

Wow, I tried this (or another similar project) a few years back and loved it. Nice work! Sorry it is still pending though. I don’t work on the SDKs unfortunately. On the auth side, the major change since then is that you can use the IoT cre
