That’s not really accurate any longer.
Mostly depends on how you layout your tables & files. If you shard the databases then multiple machines can act as writers for their shard. You can also split read requests from write requests and have read only machines scale up/down as much as you’d like. You can use multiple files in a query (there is a limit there).
So for example you can split the user table based on the first letter of the username and then depending on the rest of the database either a database file per user or per customer (organization). Of course more of everything is manual but it’s not as hard as you’d expect if you build for it.
You don't need to hide it so deeply, it can be added to your control panel add the control 'vehicle motion cues' and you can add a button which allows you to change it between on/auto/off.
I highly recommend people look through apple's accessibility features every major release they seem to quietly release some real gems.
They hid a whole app for sleep/chill/productivity/wellbeing sounds in there as well!
> Until siri can reliably handle "Navigate to <business that is a decade old>", offline and using pre-downloaded maps
Yeah, that's unfortunate considering you can have it do nearly all of that (download maps, navigate to business all while offline), except asking siri to do it for you.
> I once had a car that hid the backup cam behind a legal disclaimer every time you turned it on.
My car pops up a dialog telling me (in a paragraph+) to pay attention while in semi-autopilot which I have to click "ok" on to get back to the map. It's very ironic, and extremely dangerous.
Those are the only two options to finding quality candidates?
Try talking more about the meta of coding itself. Get into the developers head by _talking_ to them and understanding how they would approach and attack different problems. You can show them code and ask them what they would do differently / how they would go about implementing X-Y-Z. Just because you can write foobar doesn't mean you understand how to apply algorithms or w/e specific problems [your] team has. It's _far_ better to understand how they would solve a problem over their syntax anyway.
Do they brick less? I bought a pair for my husband and after a year they were bricked, apple support basically told him to buy a new one. I will never waste my money on the max line ever again.
I use it all of the time! I actually love it but I use it for grayscale mode, nothing actually critical. And yeah it triggers randomly but I am never upset to be without color.
No they are talking about the new camera button on the same side as the power/siri button. Which is semi-ironic considering the volume buttons still work fine as camera buttons they just don’t also handle zoom (you can slide your finger on the button to adjust zoom). I honestly am more annoyed at the button than enjoy it, yet another button I accidentally press when I nearly drop my phone and now have the camera app open.
> despite an insignificant fraction of customers using such a feature?
Isn't that the exact same argument against Lockdown mode? The point isn't that the number of users is small it's that it can significantly help that small set of users, something that Apple clearly does care about.
? I use firefox all of the time and I don’t believe I have been marked as a “bot”? I rarely hit website captchas/browser checks. Do you have anything to read that says otherwise?
> It's also a page that's never visited by humans.
Never is a strong word. I have definitely visited robots.txt of various websites for a variety of random reasons.
- remembering the format
- seeing what they might have tried to "hide"
- using it like a site's directory
- testing if the website is working if their main dashboard/index is offline
The string “null” or actually null? I have recently seen a huge amount of bot traffic which has actually no UA and just outright block it. It’s almost entirely (microsoft cloud) Azure script attacks.
I do not consider auto-upgrading people to pay more for something they probably aren’t already using “transparent”. Most especially if they didn’t mention in the email that there is a way to keep the existing price.
> either because they never bothered, or because their state wanted to charge extra for it
Or because their state barely managed to rolled it out at all and since they already have a passport card it makes no huge difference now. Not arguing just annoyed at my state.

If you need sqlite over the network you can look at https://turso.tech/ it’s a almost drop in replacement for sqlite (https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/blob/main/COMPAT.md)
