What I find particularly interesting is that it’s an ad they’re serving directly from their own infrastructure - ublock isn’t blocking it as an ad.

Nearest convenience store is 200m Chain supermarket is 200m Bus stop is 150m Library is 50m Park is 500m Train station is 800m

NYC makes everything easy

I honestly think that difference in opinion speaks highly of Banks as an author - the books speak to us differently and he wrote diverse enough stories that they capture each person separately.

Big disagree on the best - Use of Weapons, Surface Detail and Consider Phlebas are the favorites of my partner and me.

Not that the 3 listed are bad just that I like my 3 more :)

Ayn Rand here ain’t black

Ok.

Say the N word then.

Go yell it at people.

Do it.

Go on.

Is it a home you own or rental? Apartment?

If it’s a single family home you should seriously consider the pricey upgrades to insulation. It could cut hundreds off your bill.

But it could also be a better investment to get solar panels in that case.

If someone has the email account password your security is already fucked. If they don’t then there’s no way to pop your oauth unless the client is shit. If the client is shit you shouldn’t give it your credentials.

SSO is not a security vuln.

Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.

Even though I don’t use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.

CMV: all Linux files should be case insensitive, displayed as lowercase and mandatory snake_case.

Tldr: it’s 1.3mm thinner and has worse software experience than the Pixel. The author would rather buy the pixel.

Some apps let you do that. Sync, for example, let’s you block instances (users included) on the client side.

It’s a dangerous command - I’d rather not run it by accidentally hitting the f key a second time.

If it’s not using GCM then it must be long polling, unless signal servers are set up to use a 3rd form of push (APNS for iOS, GCM for Android)

Hi! Professional android dev here who has done some work on migrating an app to foldable:

Apps don’t guess. If they’re using XML they make specific layouts for a given width of screen.

If they’re using compose it’s even easier: the entire UI library is built for adaptive layouts. The main issue is a lot of apps are not in compose UI (or not entirely) - and material 3 has excellent components but it’s even less widely used.

Tldr: tech debt

A potential cause of the wonkiness is explicitly setting resizeableActivity="false" in the app manifest.

Pixel 7 comes in right at 200 on swappa and has 8gb ram. Pixel 7 pro has 12gb and is around $50 more.

That $300 he’s quoting you is mostly the price of the glasses my man

See if he’ll do the Rx for $75ish

Glasses are the high margin item here.

Same

If you want devs to make apps without any monetization you’re limiting the number of devs that will develop for your platform.

Free only means you only allow passion projects that people work on as a side project or only the developers rich enough to have retired already.

Nobody who is struggling to get by can spend all their time developing a free app that has 0 monetization.

So they monetize on Google Play.

If you care about breaking Google’s control of Android you should cheer on another paid marketplace, especially one out of the clutches of Amazon.
