In realms of app and UI, A tapestry of code so fine, There lies a typo small, unseen Within the onboarding scene.

Yet let us not forget, my friend, The privacy we must defend, To clearly state, with policy, The text discarded, logs set free.

And so, amidst these digital features, I find delight in poetry's creatures, Conversion, art, in cyberspace, A wondrous blend of code and grace.

Re:Apple Music Removes Joy Division’s Ian Curtis on Friday April 07, 2023 @12:02AM (#35477909)
Apple Music has replaced the biography and music for Ian Curtis, lead singer of the highly influential band Joy Division, with a different artist also named Ian Curtis.

Previously the page had both artists mixed together, I opened a bug report about it (FB12066940), and they deleted the legend instead of separating it into two separate artist pages.

The “bearer” prefix indicates the token is a “bearer” type token, as defined in RFC6750. As opposed to, for example, a “mac” token type.

The bearer token can be a JWT, but can also be a different format of bearer token as long as it conforms to the requirements in the spec (ie, only certain characters are allowed).

A “bearer” token means whoever has the token has authorization to perform the action. (Section 1.2 of the RFC goes into more details.)

This is cool, I love that gitlab lets you purchase extra minutes adhoc without a tier change. Neither GitHub nor CircleCi let you do that

That’s what secure coding guidelines say to do. It’s called “input validation”. For example here’s Apple’s: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Se...

Especially important on methods called on launch, if a crash would cause a problem.

(Swift or other strongly typed language would help here.)

Wonder why he didn’t use the Core ML image analysis tools built in to Xcode?
Some startups have good work/life balance

Startups more likely to allow remote

Great experience if you want to start your own startup later (eg understand funding rounds, growth, people problems, etc without risking your own $)

You can use address verification and/or 3DS to reduce fraud chargebacks for online transactions. If you use 3DS then the bank will assume liability for fraud.

Technically they could. According to the docs, they destroy the email after delivery.

You can use the REST API if you don’t want to use the JavaScript SDK.

SwiftUI is protocol-based, not class-based

It’s a standard SSO flow with JWT token and a REST API. Any website or Android app can add it.

Can you host a sqlite file on GitHub instead of using flat files?
