English is still evolving though. For example it’s not too uncommon to we “through” spelt as “thru”. How long these changes will take to become popular enough to make it into a dictionary is anyone’s guess, but i believe we are slowly making our way there.

Is it the Multipeer Connectivity you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of it before. It does seem like something that could be used to track users.

i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

Their stance on default privacy and sticking a finger to law enforcement is leagues above both Microsoft and Google/Android. So far at least.

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

I’m always amused by Eminem’s line in “Without Me”. “Little kids feeling rebellious, Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis”.

Any parents here with gen z kids who can chip in? 😄

It’s annoying you font have an easy way to confirm your data is deleted or not. But I’m not sure why you would expect the GDPR to cover you as a non-EU citizen? Hopefully soon you’ll be counted among us, but until then there isn’t much a GDPR officer could help you with.

That doesn’t sound like a TOTP vs passkey situation though. It sounds like the program just releases the passkey when you give it the fingerprint. There wouldn’t be anything stopping the program from generating a OTP and passing that along when you identify with the fingerprint.

I think a big issue is how difficult it can seem to be to get easy access to TOTP codes, like in your example digging up your phone. But that’s more of a browser/operating system failure for not implementing a way to generate those codes like they can already store usernames and passwords.

Bloody hell, I knew they were around, but not that they had rolled out that much already.

Yeah this is the second time I came across this post, still equally confused what the Oxford comma has to do with it.

Edit: Oh it says coma, not comma!

My dogs love peanut butter!

But that was the entire point from the first reply. If you don’t trust external hosts, there is nothing for you.

What? If you’re talking about an already leaked list of passwords in a CSV it doesn’t matter?

Kinda yes, but really no. If they assume there is always a comma, but if you add it after you’ve generated whatever password you’ve chosen you’re still making it harder for them. You haven’t compromised on the length, and now they need to figure out where in the rest of your random password the comma goes.

A friend of mine showed me their nothing phone, one with the glyph lights in the back. It wouldn’t have been an expensive version, but even so the back plate felt very plasticy. Is that still the case with them?

I know Discord has it’s flaws, but why would that discredit them from organising a union? Would you referred if they had used Teams or an email chain?

For an ELI5 explanation, this is what happens when you lower the bit rate: https://youtu.be/QEzhxP-pdos

No matter the resolution you have of the video, if the amount of information per frame is so low that it has to lump different coloured pixels together, it will look like crap.

Why play games if you’re not interested in them? Or don’t have the energy to play. Not so easy to “chill” if you’ll be kicked out your house next week. Lost your job? Bah, just chill and game.

What an absolutely brain dead thing to say.

No one is saying those who can’t access or reqd English wikipedia is inferior. The issue here is when what is on a non-english wikipedia article is misleading or flat out harmful (like the article says about growing crops), because of juvenile attempts at letting machine translations getting it very wrong. So what Greenland did was shut down its poorly translated and maintained wiki site instead of letting it fester with misinformation. And this issue compounding when LLMs scrape Wikipedia as a source to learn new languages.
