This is not true. There is a big difference between a capacitive and active stylus. You must have your screen support an active sounds stylus.

I haven't really used the Apple podcasts website before but apparently I can find it there.

I could not figure out how to subscribe to software unscripted with a regular podcast application. I don't see an RSS feed anywhere.

Are there any plans to expand the narrow platform support?

In what ways?
You used to not be able to get a security clearance if you were a homosexual because you could be blackmailed. That's stricture has been dropped and that specific thing is no longer an issue mostly.

On many Android apps I can long press an icon and get a tooltip.
Re:An ex-FBer's take on the tech apocalypse on Thursday November 26, 2020 @09:38AM (#25220350)
I have not completed the video but an initial thought is, this seems to be another take on what the heck happened in 1971.

As far as I understand it gab does use open protocols.

A quick Google search shows that iMessage does have the prerequisite 100 million active users.

One of my favorite features of plan9 is how it handles the bin directory.

For one, you can have sub-directories inside the bin directory. This lends to a nice hierarchy of commands and encourages writing small single purpose commands instead of large monolith commands. An example of this is the `ip/ping` command.

Another feature uses the union file system which prevents me from having to mess with $PATH locating commands.

ts seems to fit the Unix philosophy of do one thing and do one thing well quite nicely. It works pretty well for writing to logs.
Have you tried the import expression as opposed to the import statement?

E.G. const foo = await import('foo.js');

When trying to convey the length of time for a second how does one account for Doppler shift?

I think that it would be good for this to have questions about HTTP as well, such as status codes, caching, and content negotiation.

Some shells handle this quoting better than others.
This one is mobile friendly as well.
I would point out this as the standard without GitHub extensions: https://commonmark.org

I only bring up the prototype to determine if I would classify the interviewee as a senior JavaScript developer or not.

> almost all European languages belong to one family – Indo-European – and of all of them, English is the only one that doesn’t assign genders that way.

Persian is Indo-European and does not assign genders that way either.

If I pay a photographer for services, the photographer owns the copyright unless we agree otherwise in a contract. If there is no agreement, the creator owns the work.
Re:Minimal Responsive Grid System on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @12:36PM (#16978699)
Any CSS framework can be included as namespaced mixins in LESS.
I do like the medium.com approach of the usernames as /@username similar to the apache user dirs /~username
The username is malware. Github does not namespace user profiles, so the link to the account would be https://github.com/malware . There is no Github user with the name "about". If you go to https://github.com/about it is not a profile page, but a page describing github itself. I assume that github may want to make a page describing malware.
Re:Opaque Types in Flow and TypeScript on Saturday December 16, 2017 @06:23PM (#15942869)
I have come across a need for this in typescript and have used similar approaches as the author. Maybe this is a bad outlook of mine, but I am tending more and more to trusting my tooling over some of my fellow developers.
Is there a recommended place I can search for this?

No, it clearly states that it is by Kickstarter in the copy.
