Edit: sorry, misunderstood.

If only you'd put as much effort into reading as you put into your condescending tone, then, just maybe, you'd notice the part where I mentioned we wanted to "pass by", and not "sit for hours just to take a picture".

Those 400-500 people were just staying there, with many blocking the street – you know, the thing people walk on?

I was in Rome with my wife for less than two days for other reasons, and we decided we'd pass by Trevi Fountain. Let me tell you, that place was packed.

Maybe 400-500 people packed just to say they were there, or maybe wait in hopes of getting a clear shot. All of this just to brag in social media.

I think the problem would be better if people didn't brag on social media about every single place they go to.

You're absolutely right, it seems I've made a typo inadvertently. It's true that less people become addicted than not.

Well, I tend to see it like opioids, for example. Some people can just use their prescribed dosage and in the end they have no addiction whatsoever. Many more, even though they use their prescribed dosage, start an addiction which can lead to their lives getting ruined.

I think the same happens with social media. There are people who are more prone to addiction than others. People close to me have claimed to have felt much better after deleting/deactivating their social media accounts.

Personally it's been more than 10 years without Facebook, and I never had an Instagram, so there's not much I can say about the topic from my own experience.

I'm guessing a single hash could be problematic for detections based on the domain for example. But this could be circumvented by sending hashed parts of the URL.

For example they could hash the domain, path and query separately.

Yes, I did. It's a bit lengthy but most definitely the best process I've been part of. You will find lots of posts from other people regarding their interview process. That helped me a lot during the process.

Personally my best interview experience has been with Automattic. Having a text based interview on Slack where I could take the time to collect my thoughts, removed my anxiety almost completely.

I was totally expecting /my_shiny_metal_ass to have some kind of easter egg.

A few months ago, I contacted Microsoft support regarding an old Hotmail account of mine. I couldn't get access due to my own fault in the end, as I had set it up as a kid and 10 years later I could barely remember any details. However, the conversation with the support agent was by far the best. It felt natural, without the "copy/paste" ready-to-use responses they usually have.

I see no "notch and no chin" device in that picture. If anything, S10's "chin" looks smaller than iPhone X's "no chin".

I meant Arabic.

AFAIK they (in Arabic) also have dual pronouns which refers to exactly two people; they use another pronoun for 3+ people.

So it seems V lang has finally been open sourced (not sure when exactly but it seems 4 days ago). In any case great news. Looking forward to playing around with the language later this week.

Firefox app on my Android phone was updated yesterday to 67.0.3, and the release notes mention the security fix.

My biggest issue with navigating Go codebases is that sometimes it's cumbersome to find where a specific type/function is defined, when there are multiple files under the same directory.

I agree with you. Of course, an iPhone can surf the web, make calls, take pictures, run the calculator, etc. However, lack of means to install apps without the App Store (besides sideloading), can render any phone pretty much useless.

Android has problems of its own though. Yes, you could install apps easily without access to the Play Store. But most Android apps rely upon Google's Play Services one way or another, so those apps wouldn't work properly, if at all.

I think that the issue is not whether remote work sucks, or working in an office is superior, but it's more about hiring the right people. This gets a lot harder when hiring for remote work, which is why many remote companies require previous remote experience.

Could it be that it's a case of multiple APK? Perhaps different CPU architecture? In any case I would check the value of versionCode first (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest...).

I guess they did...

Up until Swift 4, compilation took longer than with Objective-C according to my experience. Not sure how much Swift 5 has changed things.

I agree with you, in that it's an essential skill for our job. However, from my experience at least, I've found that going head first into the source code of something you don't really understand how it works, is not the best course of action.

For example, I would make sure to read about B+ trees first, before reading the implementation of indexes in SQLite or PostgreSQL.

I like the Go language for all of its efficiency and easy concurrency, but part of me can't help but think that they were dying to make some new syntax just for the sake of it.

Great job! This is the first time I'm able to find a nice color pattern so easily. The sample images are very helpful.

Yep. That has been my experience with Django as well.

In iOS, you can't even have tools like Termux because an app is not allowed to execute unsigned binaries. Like, I get how this can be a security measure, but why not give control to people who want to take the risk.

Not surprised. Back in 2016 there was a bug in Facebook beta where you could bruteforce the verification code when performing a "forgot password" request. There was no rate limiting...

A friend of mine used to have a Facebook page with about 180k fans back in 2008 or 2009. He was so greedy, he found some "javascript code to increase fans" and ended up giving admin rights to the page to some "hackers".

Then Facebook started requiring a password to make changes to page administrators, but they never returned the page to him.

When you put it that way it almost doesn't make sense, but if you change "1 million" to 0.075 percent of the population, it starts to.

What a world we live in
