Android's permission system conflates the Bluetooth scanning permission with the "Fine location" permission, because in theory any app that can enumerate nearby Bluetooth devices (including things like nearby Bluetooth Low En

Interesting, I didn't know that! I suppose I could edit my post accordingly, maybe a better example would be "the pharmacy won't let me get a refill until the date written on my prescription: Wednesday, August 12th 2026"

Dealing with dates becomes much simpler conceptually when you realize that you are actually dealing with two different ideas masquerading as one: dates, and the actual instants in time which they name. Instants in time can only be unambiguo

Docker has made this much much easier than it used to be, and the ease of publishing images has led to many SaaS companies providing "dockerized" versions of their services. I write a lot of Terraform to manage internal infrastruc

Not to mention indirectly subsidised by ignoring the externalities imposed on the health of ourselves and our environment.

Fossil fuel being heavily subsidised kind of undermines both of your points.

Sometimes you're using git in a context where you don't control the filenames, or where a potential attacker could influence or fully control them, at which point edge cases like this can easily turn into exploits. I also chafe wh

I doubt you need an LLM for that, a diffusion model or perhaps even a deep CNN could probably do a passable job. You could train it by taking consecutive triplets of images [A, B, C] and providing [A, C] as inputs with B as the expected out

My equally uninformed guess is that the presence of six empty boxes communicates that the code entered must be exactly six digits long in a way that a generic text input doesn't. It clearly delineates the digits which makes it easy to

So I don't have to spend 10-15 minutes saving all my open files (including the scratchpad ones I haven't named) and then later reopening all my applications, recreating all of my tmux windows and panes, setting up my vim splits an

Not that it detracts from your point, but PowerShell defined Linux-like aliases for PowerShell commands, not the old CMD.exe binaries. So ls would actually match the behavior and accept the flags for Get-ChildItem, not dir.

I'm pretty sure that if you need ubiquitous surveillance to ensure that your citizens don't commit crimes, you don't have a high-trust society, by definition.

Ah yeah, I guess I assumed by the use of the term "contructor" that GP meant a language like Python or Java, and in some cases it can difficult to prevent misuse by making an unsafe constructor private and only providing a public

Given that the compiler can't enforce that users only enter valid data at compile time, the next best thing is enforcing that when they do enter invalid data, the program won't produce an `Email` object from it, and thus all `Emai

You can directly pass JSON to Terraform by putting it in a `.tfvars.json` file [1], as far as I can tell this has been supported since v0.5.0 which released in May 2015. Terraform doesn't have a built-in deep merge function, but it wil

The -a models are typically released in the spring, the Pixel 9a was only just released in April of this year, so I wouldn't expect to see a Pixel 10a until March or April of 2026.
