Pythonista is a full(-ish) offline Python IDE and has been on the App Store for years.

There’s no reason to believe they won’t have an online copy of the 2020 snapshot too. Isn’t that kind of the point? For future generations to be able to use it?

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing for most repos. Unfortunately.

Then why have the option to delete public repos at all? Public tweets? If we had the means, should the web as a whole be append-only?

There’s a big difference between “public” and “stored in a glacier forever”.

Is there a way to opt out of this? I’m not sure I want my code to be stored forever in a glacier with no way of deleting it.

All problems are small with perspective!

There’s only about 10 million people in Sweden and we’ve produced Saab, Ericsson, Volvo, IKEA, H&M, Spotify, Skype, MySQL to name a few.

I don’t think it’s that uncommon.

It’s pretty clear that the author isn’t using the technical definition of big O but rather is using it in a descriptive way. It’s not ambiguous in any way so what’s the harm?

I’m getting an Internal Server Error at the Tor site, I guess this means it’s more popular than they expected?

... Meetup is also adding a new $2 fee every time a person RSVPs for a meetup. Every. Single. Time.

I'm generally in favour of paid products but $2 per RSVP is just... insane.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried that before, without success, but someone else reading this might have better luck.

For what it’s worth this happens both with a 15” and a 13” MBP from different years.

I haven’t thought of it this way before but I think you’re right. External monitor support does break randomly and hardware support through dongles is extremely flakey.

A small excerpt from my personal list of woes:

- Using a USB-c <-> DVI cable gives the monitor a purple hue. An HDMI cable does not. Also, this isn’t an issue in bootcamp.

- Can’t use the serial debugger of a Particle Photon because it can’t use the dongle’s USB-A interface directly.

- Sometimes the Touch Bar goes completely unresponsive for ~10s. Sometimes, after a reboot or after waking from sleep, it just doesn’t start at all.

- At one point the speakers started blasting white noise at the loudest volume for no apparent reason. Closed the lid, opened it, same thing. Rebooted the machine and never encountered that problem again.

- If a certain kind of network error occurs when setting up Time Machine then System Preferences will hang completely for ~5 minutes.

In many ways the experience is what I would expect if I could run Linux on this machine: Hardware kind of works with lots of random bugs.

This might be true, however, I’m of the opinion that the prize should go to people that are making hard choices to de-escalate actual armed conflicts.

Sure but the military... works.

By that logic, you can’t program interrupts with C because “int” is a reserved word.

Holidays are precisely the best time to spend quality time with your kids, too.

While you’re at it, why not sue for emotional distress? Or lost income for the time reading this instead of billing clients?

I’m all for GoDaddy being held responsible but advocating this kind of copyright abuse is as ridiculous as it is scary. Are we going to start suing CDN’s for setting custom HTTP headers now?

No. With 10^12 possible account numbers and a hash rate of ~10^10 H/s using off the shelf hardware [1] it would only take 100*(10^12/10^10) = 10000 seconds to deanonymise the token.

That’s not how this works. The actual books/movies/cartoons that Batman appears in will eventually be public domain — you’ll be legally allowed to copy, edit and distribute these without restrictions. However, “Batman” (the idea, the concept) is still protected by trademark laws making it illegal to produce new (non-derivative) Batman books/movies/cartoons without the trademark holder’s consent.

Nothing to do with ratio but I’ve found that the quality of the comments often reflect the quality of the code.

Persistent access via an authentication token is a hell of a lot more reliable than relying on the user not navigating from/refreshing a specific page where XSS is present.

So is programming. Should clients be able to just take your code without paying for it?

Also, people make a big stink when authentication cookies aren’t marked as HTTPONLY. Storing tokens in localstorage (even sessionstorage) is just as bad but for some reason more accepted.

This sounds an awful lot like JWT.

The cure to racism isn’t isolation.

Racism is pretty common across the world. Sure, we could just decide to not talk to anyone that posts racist thoughts, but would the world really be better off?

It does apply to all EU users and they risk fines if they don’t comply.

I do like the article but it sounds like they’re in over their heads, this whole (very risky) project could have been avoided if they just brought in someone that knew what they were doing.

Clocks are important – don’t lock down your VPC so much that NTP stops working.

Automatically generating database indexes on application startup is probably a bad idea.

Database management is important and hard – and we’d rather not be doing it ourselves.

This is true of any database infrastructure with redundancy/scalability requirements.

What they did was take a technical problem and solve it by buying an off the shelf solution. Which is fine, of course, but I’m a bit surprised by the reaction here on HN.

If you’re in the EU you can refer to the GDPR and request all the data they have on you.

This reads like a person with Stockholm syndrome, captured by the crypto hype train. The entire point of money/currency is to have a standard unit of transferable debt!
