This looks neat, I’ve been wondering what’s the best way to remember things buried behind many chats and apps and it might just be the solution to it

Yaml is the language nobody needed. All we wanted was a better JSON format that supports comments and doesn’t crash with an extra comma as the end of a list, eg: [1,2,3,]

How does a self signed cert protect you from MITm if the iPhone will accept any signed certificate thereafter? There’s no cert pinning AFAIK in imaps.

Can you expand on that subject? What are the traits of warm blooded species that lead to higher cancer rates?

No they killed the project a while ago. The goal was to identify if you were watching a video based on the audio.

I assume that the feature was not worth privacy implications and potential fallout.

It is, it was then used regularly across project as a sign that touching this code is very dangerous and should not be done except by the experts of that codebase.

Fun nostalgia to see it out there :)

Note that I doubt anybody ever got fired for modifying these parts of the code. In particular, automatic refactors would have modified these (safely); and it’s a scary warning about negative consequences of messing up.

Cars rarely spontaneously burst in flame and causing a chemical fire taking that takes hours to put out. I am all for safe e-bikes, and these bootleg batteries are dangerous to the population and to the way the population sees this alternative transportation mode.

Looks like another scam.

In the end, who decides who to give money to? You might vote but money has to be distributed to real people, not faceless addresses.

This reads like another rug pull.

That’s correct :)

The binlogs are applied first, then the deletes are emitted.

There’s also support for read after write consistency within a single cluster by adding a canary to the memcache key warning to read from the master replica after the write succeeds, that’s a really cool feature for a multi region eventually consistent system

I don’t think this generalization carries your point.

Do you live in Europe? Are you aware of the numerous opinions on this matter in Europe?

If you did, your comment would have more nuance.

And then you won’t have maps, Gmail, …

On iOS you can have the above without giving them your location 24/7

I'm going to assume you are not trolling and hope this will change your mind, but I am not sure what proof you expect will convince you. It's worth asking yourself before reading these what is the level of proof you require to be convinced, and then see if these are fulfilling your expectations.

I have not read this one in depth but maybe it will help change your mind on some misconceptions: https://skepticalscience.com/

I'm happy to link similar studies from across the world if you speak other languages.

I know for every link I send you, you will find an equal number of links from climate change deniers. Put please put in perspective the number of people on one side of this issue and the other: the overwhelming majority of scientists agree.

And even if they are wrong, is it really that bad to try to burn less oil and make the air less polluted and our planet more hospitable?

That's a very eloquent way to put it, I agree to it all :)
