Great job! I wonder if playing this kind of game could be used in an interview setting.
comment
But there are some websites such as https://www.gosection8.com that will let you search section 8 housing. I'm curious where they get their data from. Do you know? Perhaps these sites…
comment
Note that I didn't say they weren't helpful. I was just being put off by the initial "open" state. I don't have an issue with having an icon I can click on to "chat with …
comment
First of all, the website looks good and the illustrations (final product) are nice, but a couple of things put me off a bit: First, the chatbot at the bottom right. I know it's common to many we…

Is there a public database of section 8 rentals/properties?

Indeed, I did forget SSNHL. Sorry that you were victim of that. At one week after onset you were still in the treatment window, but unfortunately it doesn't always work (and obviously, the sooner…

I don't know what the industry actually does, but what it should probably do is use bcrypt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt …

Protect your hearing before it's too late. We often think that the worse that will happen is that you'll lose a bit of hearing and be hard of hearing when you get older. If that's all y…

(I think I made a similar comment to a similar submission a while back) I suggest this type of interview: Both the interviewer and interviewee get a problem to solve and they work together to solve …

> Oh the number of apps that EVERY TIME are ran try to talk to FB... Even my phone banking apps. I understand that from a game or a selfie app. They are 'silly' by nature. But why the F..…

Please see my reply in sibling comment. It addresses this.
comment
What you are describing is quite orthogonal to brands: it is simply fraud, ie selling something with specs that you know are bogus. I've seen it called "false advertising" too. That is …
comment
> So, how will this help with things like fake SD cards? Those are usually sold unbranded. How can an unbranded SD card be fake? Fake with respect to what? A brand brings this value: expectations. …
comment
You are right. I wonder how long it'll take for the production/sales to reach "steady state", ie when the pre-order bubble has been absorbed.

It is already a mass market car. Model 3 is the best selling car in California for the second half of 2018. By best selling, I don't mean in the EV category, I mean above Civic, Accord, Camry, Co…

That's very cool! It looks like that API doesn't exist on macOS, though... :-(
comment
If I had all places where memory is allocated under my "jurisdiction", I think this would be a very applicable solution. Unfortunately when calling APIs to process images, some opaque code t…
comment
> Such processes rarely are memory-bound, and from what you write (it would use CoreFilters that support GPU acceleration "when available"), yours aren’t either. So why would you want to …
comment
I wrote a parallel image processing tool (in Swift) that essentially uses Grand Central Dispatch on macOS to process all files in a directory. I hit the problem that GCD would happily let me enqueue t…
comment
I like this idea. I wonder how latency impacts the "live chatting" experience. Email protocols have specific impediments on egress and ingress: on one end to ensure that a sender isn't …
comment
> As a parent you should be able to share to a private FB, a private IG, a private YT account. That's fine, because you presumably have control over who sees those photos (hopefully people you…
comment
Oh I think I understand the parent better now: he is the author of app X, and someone releases X' which is X with bogus libs/ads/etc with the Enterprise Cert. The user of X' report…
comment
That was my understanding, hence my question. I don't understand how such app can affect another app (which is what the parent was complaining about I think). Also I'm confused as to why my …
comment
Are you building an app X that crashes because of a library installed by app Y? I imagine that installing via Enterprise Certs doesn't remove the sandboxing around Y... Can you please elaborate o…
comment
I didn't see any rule that said that anyone the "trusted circle recommends" ends up being in such trust circle, so I don't see how they could be in a position to exponentially mult…

The first entry FreeRTOS shows MIT as license, but says it's distributed as GPL in the description. I don't know where they got the GPL part from: it's not mentioned anywhere at https:…

Can he not create a new account for his company, not the developers, and be the one to publish the app? It's not like he has a history to preserve (ratings, reviews, etc). I imagine he has a cont…
