Enough people have voiced their opinion on this tool but I just tried it.
The results were underwhelming. It fails to find obvious links between sites, makes completely incorrect correlations while claiming 100% matches, and has no way of figuring out if it's the same person. The "useful" features seem to be username generator based on your original input, e.g. you input "john doe" and it suggests usernames like "jdoe", "johndoe", etc.
To be clear to everyone: Electron and React Native are not alike. Electron is a big web browser. React Native work completely differently: It neither renders, computes, or runs the same. React Native uses the Hermes engine, puppeteering native components.
localStorage and cookies are the same in terms of GDPR. It encompasses all local storage mechanisms such as IndexedDB, cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, etc.
(source: I read the directive way back when it came out, and also skimmed large sectoins of GDPR)
A story from one of my startups: A student reached out to us regarding a security vulnerability on the website, demanding money for it. He refused to say what it was or provide evidence at first, so we couldn't assess it. He said he'd disclose it to others if we didn't.
I definitely felt blackmailed. I am not a lawyer but it felt illegal. Maybe someone can chime in to say if it is?
What you experienced may be a baseline change when using noise cancellation. It happens with all noise cancelling headphones after long use (for me). I am NOT an authoritative source on it but what I heard was that the brain makes a baseline for the background / silence and when that noise is removed (active noise cancelled) then the brain recalibrates which may cause the same symptom as tinnitus as the brain tries to cancel it out but supposedly without the permanent damage. I consider it "possible" but I haven't seen hard science on it.
VPN clients traditionally virtualizes your network interface entirely. Everything acts as if your are actually physically present because it's virtualized nicely. It's great because it "just works".
These "non-VPN" solution seem to use a client on your machine that change any DNS lookup through the OS layer by hooking into gethostaddr() and returning the same IP for all domains if they are in the list of hosts that should be virtualized. Then only the traffic to domains that are needed is virtualized, anything else is untouched. YouTube and Netflix won't get piped over your company network, as an example.
Disclaimer: I don't really know that this is how it works but this is how other providers do it.
Yes, but does GDPR require the delivery format to be practical? Over time, if not happening already, you could probably see companies trying to introduce randomness / changing the format every so often for the sake of blocking this.
Ok, so some feedback: I'm sad to report I stopped testing already. For my particular job I tend to debug and work with large files, especially JSON. A lot of debugging apps and looking through large crash logs, then looking at application states. This is probably not typical, but it's crucial to me.
The transition is made hard because of the odd default key mappings (they hotkey editor is very difficult to use. I went back and forward and couldn't understand why my mappings weren't working only to find that it was due to having to use the hotkey editor in a specific way). I really think a good keymapping is the first hurdle people have to overcome, so shipping it with an hotkey extension for Sublime, VSCode, etc. would be a big win off the line.
The autocomplete and jump to definition seemed to work well. I had a hard time figuring out if "Find references" were working. It kept telling me to go to some obscure tab or place somewhere but since it's all symbols, I don't know where to actually go. VSCode is easy by comparison - a "peek" window shows up prioritized references.
However, Nova is a no-go for me because it simply stalls when opening a >2 MB JSON files. Forget about trying to search-replace - it's simply too slow. In defense of Nova, Sublime also can't deal with it.
My impression going away from Nova is: It's like Xcode and VSCode had a baby. Perhaps with time it'll improve in performance and be fine tuned to a point where I can use it daily - but given it's primarily paid (not "free with nag screen" like sublime), I can't review it any time soon again.
Agreed. Their reviews are usually to the point, objective statements with tasteful opinions. This article was unlike others and his opinions were in the way of actually hearing about how it was. I am not even in the market for one yet I do not feel informed after that review.
To straight up answer your question: Yes, I have friends who really like the iPad so much and wants to do development on it. Will it practically work? I really don't know. Until I see Xcode and/or Docker on iOS/iPadOS I am not very hopeful.
Yeah it bothers me too sometimes. You can use the mouse to drag it to a new location and it'll remember it. It will also snap to alignment points so it's easy to revert the location again.
A few tips for Spotlight that made me stop using apps like Quicksilver and Alfred:
1. Typing something and pressing CMD+B will open a browser and do a Google search for that
2. Typing math works now
3. You can change your Spotlight preferences to not include files you don't wanna search on, essentially always showing apps (if you just want it do be an app launcher)
Alfred does a lot more than this, but for me these were the key automation features I needed to stop using it.
Yes, I have. "Microsoft React Native" aka React Native for Windows is not that great for the public yet. There are basic layout bugs that need to be addressed before it's good enough that I'd recommend it. But if you are feeling experimental, you would eventually get good iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS support all in 1 app.
Both. The headlines link to websites filled with fake articles that relink to shopping sites or directly to those websites despite being unrelated to the ad.
Yes, steam is responsible for refunding. In EU there is protections like this so you are allowed 14 days (if I recall correctly) to return an item bought online because you had no way to review it "in person". If you consider this law sans Internet it still makes 100% sense. It applies to phone-ordering from TV shopping channels, or mail-ordering as well. It keeps merchants honest for at least 14 days of products use, forcing them not to (re)sell items that will quickly disappoint. It overall makes it much easier to be a consumer which should be in everyone's interest.
> apple can't argue that users having alternative means to install apps is insecure, as they allow to that on the mac
I don't agree with this evaluation. They can argue it, as all macs are shipped with only access to the app store. You need to specifically opt out.
macOS does have security issues, perhaps moreso than iOS, and that's an argument they could make: Allowing Epic to run a store would compromise the phones of kids and open them up to tracking, aggressive adware, etc. I think it's a fair argument, even if I think 30% is a steep price to pay for what they provide.
Was Opera's "Turbo" mode not a similar feature? A feature launched in the early mobile/late dail-up days. Albeit the proxy CDN was provided by Opera. It would take proxy JPEGs, compress them more, serve them from an edge node. It don't think it was marketed as a privacy feature but mostly bandwidth/speed. But in theory if you trust Opera, you'd get more privacy?
