  • Use this shortcut from Ricky Mondello, the lead for Apple’s password development team.

    I get the feeling they wanted to do a Passwords app for some time but needed to get, probably executive-level, buy-in to get it done.

    Apple will get bad PR about this: they are “Sherlocking” password managers. 1Password will write a blog post about how this is actually good for them because now password management is mainstream; 3rd party password managers will decide to focus more on the enterprise market; Microsoft will come out with a competing password manager that re-uses the name of a previous product and is bundled with Edge, etc. How it always goes.

  • Imagine the bed is a clock. The 12 o’clock position is at the head — I don’t think anything else makes sense. That makes it unambiguous.

    The positions are 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock.

  • Did you mean White Castle?

  • This report is from 2016. It’s mainly of historical interest.

  • Ad-based apps on your phone.

    It’s been done already, you say? Not like this: the front-facing camera is used to detect eye gaze. A counter on the screen starts at 30 seconds and only counts down while you are looking at the screen. If you look away, the counter, and the ad, pauses. The app doesn’t continue until you’ve watched the entire ad.

  • All Mac laptops do. And my work Windows PC looks like it has one but the company was too cheap to pay for it, so all it has is a spot that looks like a fingerprint sensor.

  • There’s a great community called The Lyrics Game - !thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca - where people post AI art of song lyrics and others try to guess the song.

    This would have worked great! I bet it would have been guessed quickly as “Fireflies” is frequently guessed (but to my knowledge hasn’t been one of the songs yet).

  • Another senior dev here, one of those weirdos who likes light mode. Sometimes. VS Code’s light mode is blinding to me, and I never use it. But Nova’s is beautiful and I prefer it. It depends how well the app renders fonts and colors. The oversaturated colors used in most apps are a big problem.

  • The ?? operator?

  • Good joke, Dad! Here, have a brownie.

  • It’s nice that this is compatible with Redis clients, and even Redis cluster operations. But I wish they would take this opportunity to make scaling more ergonomic. The Redis cluster mode is a pain to use because certain commands don’t work on a cluster (and developers don’t seem to realize this, leading to implementation issues).

  • That is some unusual hair. He looks like a delighted DJ. Rapper’s Delight?

  • This doesn’t sound like a serious problem for a company like Google. They can afford to solve it by brute force — just put a Wi-Fi hotspot in every single room.

  • On Earth it’s just not needed. In nearby space it could make sense — distance to the Moon is 369 Mm. Distance to the Sun 149 Gm. But people aren’t good at visualizing the difference between kilo-, mega-, and giga-. It isn’t obvious from those numbers just how much further away the Sun is.

  • Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull?
