I would prefer 3.5mm over Bluetooth, but keep in mind most people get their music off their phones and (almost?) no modern phones have headphone jacks. Dongles are a thing, but meh. Additionally, modern Bluetooth devices have very little fr

If you can get the exact same result for less cost (time and money), why not? Things like enjoyment don't factor in since they can't be directly converted into money.

Netflix is paying for the infrastructure because for every byte that Netflix "pushes" there is a "pull" side who is paying for their residential internet access. What is the consumer paying the ISP for if the ISP is char

That's assuming that hiring a person is the exact inverse of firing someone, which is often not the case. Firing someone has more negative effect than hiring's positive effect when e.g people move, leave previous jobs (possibly),

I assume they are talking about E2E-encryption, since that would prevent them from spying on their users even if they wanted to (assuming the client doesn't leak the key). That said, E2E-encryption doesn't come without drawbacks,

If it were encrypted with a private key the device would only have a public key and you wouldn't be able to encrypt your own version of the software.

Unless I did something wrong with my setup the elixir LS is kind of lackluster compared to a full IDE. It doesn't have any automatic refactoring (even variable renaming) nor does it provide automatic detection of syntax errors. It&#x27

This is what I assumed considering it had the right answer but the explanations were garbled. Presumably it reproduced the answer, and then some weird patchwork of the various explanations in its training set.

I don't get region restricted apps. Sometimes it might make sense, but 99% of the time it's just unnecessary and achieves nothing except annoy travelers. Is there some incentive for app developers to region restrict their apps?

Yeah, I find the signature example kind of unimpressive because it can just pick up the meaning of the code from the function name and variables, which an experienced human can do just as easily. If it could get "validates a signature

I don't know about Mandarin, but Korean counting words are very different from English collective nouns. English: one animal, one person, one book Korean: han mari, han myeong, han gweon. Where 'han' is one, and the other thr

Some make direct sense like the tree/forest, others you have to deep dive into their history for them to make sense (if at all). For example, the character for people (民) comes from the image of a person being pierced through the eye,

Indeed. I read the book in hopes of getting a good intro to TDD after only picking it up by osmosis (which, as proven by the discussions here, is not a good way to learn TDD) and it definitely goes against the maximalist interpretation as d

If your goal is to avoid coupling tests to implementation then TDD seems like the most obvious strategy. You write the test before the implementation, so it is much harder to end up with the coupling than other strategies.

In some cases there might be local laws involved. If you buy a Samsung (or LG, but they don't make phones anymore) in Korea it will come with call recording available.

As someone with an inbox-zero obsession, I don't pretend to have any logical justification for it, I just really don't like seeing those unread markers. Same for any app that shows any kind of "look here" marker. For my

I do think there is some signal based on how well the developer can utilise existing structures without getting stuck in "all you have is a hammer". That said the tradeoff is mostly time-based so if it is a take home without const

Doesn't that still call into question the quality of GPT-3? Surely such a large model should be able to extrapolate to "which is better: a or b?" from "is a better than b?" when only provided with the latter.
