The question when governments are enforcing backdoors is, how can they be sure hackers won't abuse these new backdoors too? This is going to do a lot more harm than good. It's reassuring to know that these are the sorts of people running our society.

Yes, it's pretty stupid. I don't know why anyone would subscribe to a newsletter before even knowing what it's about, they should do it once you've read the entire article.

What? That sounds really stupid. Could you provide a source?

Even if Instagram does that, they can still modify the app to take pictures properly. That's definitely not a limitation with Android. The only problem I can see with this is people modifying the picture header to become the edited photo instead of a legitimate one (either with a rooted phone or a modified request on pc). There's not really any way for Instagram to properly verify this.

That would be great. You could also recommend extensions to be installed if a website uses a certain framework. For example, the react Dev tools extension can be used to view the source of react apps in a more intuitive way compared to the rendered html file.

If they whitelisted only social media rather than blacklisting websites, I highly doubt a VPN or proxy would work unless it was provided by Google, Facebook or Tiktok.

Maybe you're thinking about electromagnetic radiation. I highly doubt the RPI would produce gamma rays, but I can assure you that it produces radio waves. I guess it depends what kind of radiation you're measuring.

MPV or IINA are good for streaming YouTube videos too.

Someone make this a browser extension!

It already would be, they have to transfer the data between hospitals somehow. The only difference is that you will have access to it, not just the doctors.

The security depends entirely on the implementation though. I'm guessing that's why your concerned about it.

Yup. Just build a nuclear reactor in your back garden and it's easy passive income!

Wow. I can't delete comments in hacker news. That's so stupid. Anyway, I was getting downvoted for a stupid opinion FYI.

Because it's cheaper and it's clearly working. I doubt someone doing this as a full time job would be as good at these monotonous tasks than 10 times as many people who are doing it for a few minutes per day.

How is this any better than a to-do list app? It seems way more complicated and it's not GitHub's intended use case.

Maybe set time limits then. Also have an alternative thing to do on your phone if you can't do anything else (like Duolingo or respond to important emails).

Yeah. Tbh, I haven't seen any news that would be significant for hackers in particular, the posts are mainly for software Devs.

It never left. The iPhone is the new iPod, it just has more features that make it more than just a music player and more importantly has the option for a SIM (although it isn't necessary).

I get what you mean though. I think the iPhone SE has taken its place in terms of affordability.

It's a good thing I've moved away from YouTube for technical content. I often find answers much faster on stackoverflow/stackexchange/Reddit

Thank you!

I hope there is a way for Firefox forks to spoof cloudflare to make them think it is the original Firefox browser. It would be useful in case Cloudflare don't do anything to resolve this issue.

Do you mind letting me know the name of this extension?

It doesn't even need to be developer edition. That is more geared towards extension development rather than web page development.

I don't understand the hype around Flutter for desktop. It's possible to make a cross platform app, but it only looks good for Android and iOS. I haven't used react native, but I imagine it would be better for cross platform apps because you could create a separate UI for mobile and web, but keep the same backend logic for both.

Unrelated, but that is a hilarious username.

This article was made by Android authority. Does anyone not think this would obviously have some bias?

Btw. I was asking this in case deletionpedia hadn't managed to copy all of the articles.

Do you think an admin, with some programming knowledge, could write a program to scrape all of the deleted pages on Wikipedia and store them in some public archive for people to view?

I'm sure it goes against their terms of service, but it would be really great for getting rid of censorship.

Even better, Apple could port MacOS to the M1 iPad. Maybe they could have both iOS and Mac OS merged together and allow people to switch between tablet and desktop mode (like what they have done with Samsung devices). They could sell an external keyboard + trackpad for the desktop mode.

Yes, I completely agree. One thing I'll add as an example; I used programming as a way to learn about mathematical concepts too. I made a program to render an image of the Mandelbrot set, which helped me learn both some new things in JavaScript (what I was using) and mathematics (complex numbers and limits). You'll probably be able to find a similar sort of project for your son.

I'd definitely recommend freecodecamp for learning whatever language you'd like to get him started with. After watching one of their tutorial videos, your son could have a look at other videos for the particular language if there's something in particular he'd like to do.

Python is great for beginners, it's usually the first language taught in schools.

Web development is also really easy and rewarding, which makes it a particularly good route to get someone started in programming. Just remember to guide him through JavaScript libraries after learning html, CSS and JavaScript. When I first started learning web dev, I didn't know about frameworks like react and angular which caused me to waste a lot of time rewriting things which could have been made as react components. It was a lot more difficult to maintain the website I already made at that point.

Like you said replying to someone else's comment, game development is good for getting into programming. Although, make sure he is aware of the other routes, as game development isn't always the best career path even though it might sound fun at first.

Finally, let him make choices. You shouldn't have to decide everything for him, it's a good skill as a programmer to be able to look things up yourself. Maybe ask your son to find out what he would prefer to do, although if you already have some experience, of course let him know if there's anything that could help him get started in programming quicker.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
