As long as you’re not using an autopen, because that is definitely not you!

Yes! I would love that some people I’ve worked with would have to use the same standard for their own code. Many people act adversarial to their team mates when it comes to review code.

wtf am I reading? No no no. Undocumented apis callable from user space, that can break the OS, is a security flaw (in the OS). It’s why people laugh at windows.

As long as apple doesn’t do a ”Sinofsky”, and implement a touch optimised gui… on servers, I think we’re good.

This bug has happened on multiple, perhaps all, iphones I ever owned, I clearly remember at least 3 where I spent hours on trying to save (extract) photos from my iphone with different tools.

”Glad” to see it was an actual bug.

This bug has been there for years, probably a decade.

I got similar symptoms as mentioned, I suspected AFS+, but what do I know. It has happened on at least 3 iphones (pros), now when I think about it, I don’t remember any iphone I haven’t have troubles with. Having 5000+ images (non-raw) where 5-10% are corrupt is infuriating, but I just stupidly buy another iphone every year (the most expensive one).

Re-importing images 10-100 times could sometimes extract a few additional images, but the phone just disconnects after a while when running such scripts.

But why, when reqwest is enough for 99% of cases.

This is just a rediscover of schema-free apps that were very popular a decade ago. Now not so much.

+1000

Use whatever convention (per app/db/team), as long as it is consistent. Developers who use mixed singular and plural in the same db should be fired (into the sun).

No, ms didn’t offer ”azure” during ballmer’s reign. They offered ”Windows azure”. That speaks volumes.

CCC still have this crazy way of selling tickets, where you cannot know more than month in advance if you will be able to get a ticket, i.e. impossible to book hotel/flight that late.
