That was the remnants of windows phone. The people app would automatically sync all of their social accounts for a person.

As Microsoft moved more of those apps out of the inbox image and to the store, the functionality slowly stopped working.

The sunset of windows phone ended the rest of those features.

I wish we could disagree about policies. Instead we literally have elected leaders screaming that the one party is controlling the weather to destroy another party.

How do you engage and have any kind of civil discourse with that?

Ok, so my Pixel 1, 3, 5, and 7 have had no problems.

Data shows 100% reliability then?

No, nowhere is the article stating that only one viewpoint is allowed.

For example, if there were several scientists that were debating more precise ways of calculating the circumference of Earth, the discourse would improve if flat Earth information was excluded.

The article states 6% believe they do more good than harm. I'm not sure where you came up with your headline or why you're reverting to name calling.

> The thing about emoji is that they're highly contextual.

Same with the flying money emoji. It's on the list as confusing, but it lists "gaining money, losing money, and transferring money" as 85% of meanings. Context clears up which one of those it is

It clearly means "money is flying" but it leaves the direction of flight to context.

Many engineering interviews include literal "solve this problem on leetcode" sections.

Much like Kleenex or xerox, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark

TFA mentions that charging during travel would allow trucks to carry fewer batteries, would would reduce weight and increase range, efficiency, and cargo capacity.

You cannot achieve that by charging your semi at home.

Similarly, I replied to someone suggesting they pay for a service and I received multiple replies suggesting I kill myself.

This wasn't on some random Marxist community, this was on one of the big tech communities.

Average is probably a poor way of analyzing this. In my experience there's a bimodal distribution of tenure that correspond to your job hoppers and your long-term employees.

I believe you're going to see the lower average at places that have larger signing bonuses or other compensation that skews that way.

Stock should just be the liquid. You're not going to get good flavor or texture out of the veg that's simmered for hours.

Make the stock, strain it, put in a freezer bag and freeze flat. Keeps a long time and takes little space.

Then when you want to make soup, thaw the stock, add veg and cook until the right texture.

I think it'd be closer to a Hackintosh.

I wouldn't call someone reciting a French-English dictionary a French speaker that understands the language.

Other way around. If a kid understood the concepts of multiplation, they could train themselves on the next logical steps like exponents.

The consequences of this in the terms of AI would mean they build on a series of concepts and would quickly dwarf us in intelligence.

Windows has Phone Link to do this with Android. It's only been around for ~6 years or so

Everything about iOS

Apple has excluded all other browsers on iOS, requires you to buy more apple hardware to produce software for iOS, and has all of their rules around IAP and not allowing you to even link to an alternate store in many cases.

If iOS had a 90% market share in the US, I bet they'd have a lot more legal troubles

Part of the context here is that UWP (universal windows platform), is a target to write-once and run on any windows platform situation.

This made much more sense when Microsoft had multiple platforms running windows with just different sets of apis activated.

At it's peak, this was: PC, phone, hololens, Xbox.

SMS apis may only work on phone, spatial APIs may only work on hololens, printing may work on several, but not all targets. There are ways for developers to check which APIs are supported at runtime, but you can still call these APIs since they are part of the UWP surface.

I find Duolingo to work best when I go against its desired way and do it my own.

If it asks me to translate a sentence with the multiple choice options, I translate it first before looking at the options. I listen before reading.

Most importantly, ignore streaks, ladders, and most of the gamification. My learning was hindered just doing a quick lesson to keep a streak, or by doing lighting rounds to gain xp.

I wouldn't learn the lessons if I was just trying to further the gamification. But taking my time, doing them when I'm in a good space to learn has been my best result

Their phrasing is specific to align themselves with the current supreme Court review of deference.

They'll likely delay until that decision has come down and they hope they can just claim the laws were unconstitutional in the first place.

It serves the authors content ad-free. You can choose to subscribe to authors that do not place ads or sponsored content in their videos.

When I dropped cable I started subscribing to dozens of channels and now have a pretty solid subscription list.

Many creators I follow have dabbled in different forms of monetization, and I've preferred to stick with the ones that offer patterns or other methods of supporting them.

I don't think it's fair to criticize googles product offering for the content creators choices

> Well we all better stop flying and driving if we’re set out to reduce human suffering.

No, we're better off regulating safety, setting increasingly strict pollution and mileage standards, and continuing to update laws to eliminate behaviors such as DUI or texting to continue to have those freedoms while limiting externalities.

I really don't want to give meta any of my business.

I feel so old. What is it that I'm missing out in iMessage that is so important?

Honest question, I've been texting since t9 and have never owned an Apple device.

Bun has solved this, unless you have developers on Windows.

MSFT is up 55% YTD at all-time highs. That 1% drop at the announcement is the initial reaction which will probably disappear come Monday.

You bury bad news on Friday afternoon.

Until you are providing software to the US government, in which case it is their requirement.

Or at least that was my experience while working on sovereign cloud stuff in big tech.

It is confusing, but recently it's pretty straightforward

.Net framework is the OG .Net and is windows specific. That stopped at v5 (I think)

.Net Core is the cross-platform reboot that was mostly a subset of framework, but not a proper subset.

If you wanted to write a library that worked across everything, you would target .Net standard, which wasn't a framework itself, but the intersection of APIs that existed everywhere.

Today, framework is discontinued, which makes standard kinda moot, and they dropped the "Core" branding. So as of .Net 6, that's pretty much all you'd write for new code.

If you have legacy code, then yeah you're back in that quagmire

The major problem was the retroactive aspect and the very short amount of notice.

Part of choosing your engine is selecting the appropriate licensing costs for your games business model. After spending 2+ years working on your product, the business model completely changes, without the ability to opt out. It also affected already released games, and wasn't even a rev share, it would cost money just for downloads.

This also occured 4 years after Unity publically stated that developers should be able to stay on the version of terms of service they already agreed to.

If a company wants to have that business model, go for it - but don't bait and switch, don't go against your word, or else you've torched all trust between you and your customers
