json doesn’t have ints, it has Numbers, which are ieee754 floats. if you want to precisely store the full range of a 64 bit int (anything larger than 2^53 -1) then string is indeed the correct type

Why would I need to remember an ip address if I have a hostname? I don’t know my ipv4 anywhere since it’s all dynamic.

Standards like those change just fine. Sure some stuff uses ascii still, but almost everything I encounter is unicode. Email has had so many things added on over the years that that’s not a fair comparison either. Other countries have plenty of kb layouts that are more popular locally than qwerty but came afterwards.

At some point ipv6 will be the default and we’ll just use compatibility layers to access ipv4 only things. We don’t need every device on board, just the ISPs

idk, I’m 6’6 and I despise having to drive full size pickups and SUVs. they’re made for short people to feel tall. A decent proportion I can’t even see street lights in lol.

The cars that have been good for me have been weird, like my s10 fits me better than any full size truck, outbacks and other cuv aren’t bad either, especially newer ones. I’ve heard there are sedans that are better fit for taller/bigger people, but I haven’t looked much there

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

Google messages. Here is the support article on the tradeoffs: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6188337

it’s ironic with all this that Google fi messages on Android still doesn’t support rcs without losing a bunch of other features

fwiw I’ve personally had cashiers refuse to accept them since they didn’t think they were real. not sure how common that is tho, especially now

I have a pair, and they’re really convenient. Occasionally they do make me feel sick if I wear them too long though

I’ve had a Samsung TV for a while. They started with putting little ads in the menu not to long after I bought it. Last November they removed the steam link app so I can’t stream games from pc. Just the other day they switched the default app on open from whatever was open before to the news playing over an ad to buy their cable alternative. The setting in the menu to change it back doesn’t work.

It’s worse than no support

all the root secrets are available in plain text the generator app at some point, they have to be. moving that to a single purpose device greatly reduces the risk of vulnerabilities in your phone leading to exfiltration via internet connection

mine works for my personal google account, work one is sso and doesn’t have it enabled. otherwise gh, aws, auh0 support it, I’m forgetting some others I use. beyond that you can generate 2fa codes too

as hard as the mormons push their religion, this is just wrong. you also have the choice of arches one or the now generally available plain black one, on top of all the special interest ones

idk, I have a car and a job that pays well enough that I don’t feel right for gas money and such, but I’ll still walk/public transit/bike when it’s not terribly inconvenient and I feel like a lot of my same generation coworkers feel the same way.

sure money might be part of it for some, but definitely not the driving force in my circles

you can run a bridge. I forget that friends are on discord sometimes bc it’s so seamless, and they can’t tell I’m not sending messages from discord either. I do have to use the discord app for voip tho

not on mobile, they generally use the native browser engine. at the very least it’s not electron on ios/android

A lot of languages have an asunc/await facade for tasks run on a background thread for result (c#, clj, py, etc), but it’s certainly not the default anywhere, and go most goroutines(?)/other csp implementations are probably going to be yielding for some io most of the time at the bottom anyway

ok rms

you’re starting to get stalkery

fwiw I’ve used it pretty extensively on screenshots of text I keep getting sent at work, so far I haven’t noticed any mistakes at all. may just be the type of images though
