Didn’t their CEO say that Teams is not a competitor.

Looks like he said it in May 2020. So i wonder what happened since then.

it wasn't clear from OP. i suppose having a permission modal like Photos or Contacts will do.

I copy my password from my password manager and paste it into a different app. I can copy notes from OneNote and paste it into my email and there are many other use cases i can think of. With iOS 14 Apple is letting the user know that some app is accessing your clipboard.

> people learn stuff even faster

I agree with the faster part but these snippets Google shows often times lacks context and other miscellaneous information along with deep links to many other great articles.

This is pretty much what Apple did with Sign in with Apple. You can sign up with a private relay email and Apple will forward any communications from that company to your real personal email account. If you get annoying emails, you can simply dispose the private relay email and boom they can't communicate with you anymore.

This is probably what happened. As a hiring manager i want to tell the candidates whenever we reject them but sometimes recruiting drops the ball and never reaches out with rejection email or call (our team usually calls them).

This happened to one of my referrals so i know this firsthand.

I like this approach but I'm not entirely sold on it. In her example, the `category-validations` is branched off from `category-db` and there will be two separate PRs. If you start receiving reviews for `category-db` PR and you make those changes then you'll have to rebase it onto the `category-validations` and resolve any conflicts. This will be many times harder if a different developer works on `category-validations` branch.

That being said, I can't think of any elegant ways to solve this.

isn't this what Costco, Walmart are doing? I thought this is pretty common in the retail world - i.e to cut out the middle man and price it just below the name brand so people buy the store brand because it's cheaper.

> In my own opinion this merger is a good thing. Sprint holds huge amounts of spectrum but has absolutely failed to create a competitive network with it. It was a misallocation of a precious natural resource.

as far as I see the same Sprint CEO is continuing as the CEO of the merged company so I don't think things will improve. If he failed to create a competitive network then how are things to improve all of a sudden?

if this were to happen I'm sure Macy's lawyers are smart enough to have a non-hire clause for these employees for a year or so.

The other day I saw a video of a spotted Malabar civet walking through urban streets of Kerala, India. It is an endangered species https://twitter.com/DGrieshnak/status/1243077554224787457?s=...

they can't see what happens inside FacebookSDK's code. even if they could see it, good luck convincing the PMs and directors to avoid implementing Facebook login.

Somewhat tangential but with method swizzling Facebook SDK can figure out the location of your device if the host app has location permission. You don't need the Facebook app installed, as long as the host app has location permission (say you give location permission to reddit app which has FacebookSDK), Facebook can piggy back on that to get your location.

PS: Replace redidt with any app that uses Facebook login. IDK if reddit uses FacebookSDK.

I don't work for Facebook but here's my thinking:

not everyone is making a software engineer salary at Facebook.

personally, i never had a proper work from home setup so i would spend it on an ergonomic chair, keyboard, mouse, noise cancelling headphone, dual monitor etc.

wouldn't they just reuse their software on their new models? There's no way they are going to rewrite their software from scratch.

I don't think that's apples to apples comparison.

As a pizza delivery driver, your pizza shop is your base and you only go out when there's an order that needs to be delivered. My friend used to work at Pizza Hut and he was getting reimbursed for gas (per mile but it was slightly more than his gas mileage so i suppose it covers for wear and tear?).

As far as i know, you're not getting reimbursed for delivering DoorDash and the pickup location could be on the other side of the town.

I use this and for the most part it works just fine. The other day I ran into a problem where it got into this loop and I ended up making Chrome as my default browser just to get around this issue.

The issue is when you've an app that needs Google authentication and it opens the browser. To be more specific, I was trying to log in on Postman using the web authentication option. It opened my default browser (Firefox) just fine but it opened my other container (Work) which is not associated with my Google login. When i asked it to re-open the page in the other container (Personal), it lost all the redirect information and wouldn't let me continue back to Postman. I swear I had this same issue with another app but can't recall its name.

I suppose i could workaround this issue by having my personal container handle all the postman links but it seems like too many steps to get one thing.

So much this. The other day i was trying to look up documentation for Swift’s KVO and i couldn’t find one. I know there’s a KVO API that accepts a closure but i just couldn’t find where it is. smh.

Apple used to link sample code with pretty much all the big APIs but they no longer do that. If you want to see how an API is used or see the best practices you’re better off checking stackoverflow.

one of my friends used to work for Agoda as a software engineer who said similar things about his company using dark patterns to fake urgency. This is very common in the travel industry and i've seen many companies employing similar tactics.

why are they exempting Apple's iMessage then?

Have you compared Google maps' results to those of Yelp's in Brooklyn? Did they show you anything that Google Maps didn't show?

Last time i checked Yelp was not available outside USA (checked while I was in India/Japan ~two years ago) while Google maps tons of data in those locations.

I wonder why ODing is not a problem in rest of the world. If I were to guess it's to save money and not becuase they were concerned about some random dude ODing.

> including being entirely user-supported with no investors or ads

What are your plans when user-supported revenue is not enough to keep the servers running?

you're not allowed to do that. You've to use Apple's in-app purchase otherwise Apple will reject your app.

I never understood the logic of putting a webcam at the bottom of the screen. why are these laptop manufacturers doing it ? is it just to shave off couple of inches from the top bezel ?

the skeptic in me thinks these man made diamonds they make are made so that it won't last forever. I bet in 5yrs these diamonds would somehow fade or even break so they can keep selling natural long lasting diamonds.

The current GOI is not going to ban Ramdev's products.

you're aware that Nepal has rejected many of their products ? The current government of India is in bed with Ramdev so there won't be any bans. it's very easy to give "organic flavors" and I can't believe educated people would fall for their traps.
