Ummm… You know, domain names have use cases other than hosting websites. It’s just a mapping from ASCII strings to IP addresses.

Better tech, not really. Otherwise it’s accurate.

Don’t talk to the police.

And that includes the FBI.

Ummm… the fact that changing a single pixel will let the baddies evade detection?

New comment by layoutIfNeeded in "Cheap material converts heat to electricity"

You can’t. The second law of thermodynamics prohibits it.

“It is impossible to devise a cyclically operating device, the sole effect of which is to absorb energy in the form of heat from a single thermal reservoir and to deliver an equivalent amount of work.”

That’s thermodynamically impossible.

Nitpick: you can’t convert heat to electricity. You need a heat differential.

Could you provide a few examples from your workflow that requires you to open Xcode?

You only need clang and codesign to build an app.

New comment by layoutIfNeeded in "New in Git: switch and restore"

layoutIfNeeded — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 13:52:42 +0000

Exactly. The way I see it is that “checkout” has two arguments:

- the commit you want to checkout, which defaults to HEAD

- the files you want to checkout, which defaults to everything

Simple as.

No thanks, I will keep using checkout.
