iOS has supported ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), I think since day one, but at least for a long while. You can convert FLACs to ALAC without any loss in quality obviously, but the coding tends to be a bit more efficient for FLAC.

Hashes cannot be undone, so... this is just a tool to tell you how long a string of hex characters is and show you a list of hash functions with that length?

If you wish to undertand and to be understood, I agree that vocabulary is very important.

I assume from the class of errors you made (understand instead of understood; know instead of knowing) that your native language doesn’t have verb tense like Chinese. But it doesn’t matter if these small grammatical errors are made, because native speakers can still understand sentences with flawed grammar. However, if you are missing vocabulary you will have a hard time understanding what other people are saying, and when you speak you end up spending a lot of time trying to describe words you don’t know in terms of words you do know.

I think the bit about imitating a foreign accent in order to sound more like a native in your target language is one of the better pieces of advice in this post; at least, doing so has worked pretty well for me in the languages I’ve tried to study so far.

It’s not always a benefit to quickly pick up the phonology, though. When native speakers hear a foreigner speaking with such a non-foreign accent, they tend to assume that I know the language a lot better than I really do, and I find myself asking people to slow down and repeat quite often...

Wow, that's extremely impolite.

Assuming Apple is only using cookies for technical purposes, like providing a way to log in or use a shopping cart, then there is no need to use a banner. Google needs the banner because they are using cookies for advertising and tracking purposes, and you can probably guess why there's no way to decline

Honestly, it looks like HN does right now, albeit with a different color scheme.

The article you linked is littered with misinformation. I would not recommend that anyone read it.

It asserts "facts", like the false statement that wearing a mask lowers blood oxygen concentration by 20%, using citations of Facebook videos and conspiracy theory "news" websites as sources.

It’s definitely about vowel sounds, because we don’t say “a hour” or “a herb”.

Congress has not made any law prohibiting the exercise of religion.

I'm not very familiar with Rust, but I don't understand why you wouldn't just use a reference-to-HeavyThing as the function argument, so that the object isn't moved and then dropped in the `get_size` function?

The second argument is a Rectangle, which means you'd be repeating 'Rectangle' twice in one line with the second style.
