The sensors are usually pretty close to the camera, so the chances of taping over it are relatively high.

Again, did you actually read the comments?

Is SQL an API contract using JSON? I hardly think so.

Java does not distinguish between null and non-existence within an API contract. Neither does Python. JS is the weird one here for having two different identifiers.

Why are you so hellbent on proving something universal that doesn’t apply for the case specified above? Seriously, you’re the “well, ackshually” meme in person. You are unable or unwilling to distinguish between abstract and concrete. And that makes you pretty bad engineers.

Did you read the comments above?

You can’t just ignore context and proclaim some universal truth, which just happens to be your opinion.

Nope.

If there’s a clear definition that there can be something, implicit and explicit omission are equivalent. And that’s exactly the case we’re talking about here.

I had lengthy discussions about that because two companies conventions collided.

We talked literally hours about the benefits of build numbers, branch specific identifiers and so on.

I find it really weird that something as simple as the basic functionality of nextcloud seemingly can’t be implemented in a stable and lightweight manner.

Nextcloud always seems one update away from self destruction and it prepares for that by hoarding all the resources it can get. It never feels fast or responsive. I just want a way to share files between my machines.

There are other solutions, I know, but they’re all terrible in their own way.

The German feddit (and reddit) space has bursts of memes. A while ago it was stupid puns using sturgeons or eels. Currently it’s pizza.

These intense meme storms (Stahlmemegewitter) last for a few days and then blow over.

That’s exactly not the thing, because nobody broke the contract, they simply interpret it differently in details.

Having a null reference is perfectly valid json, as long as it’s not explicitly prohibited. Null just says “nothing in here” and that’s exactly what an omission also communicates.

The difference is just whether you treat implicit and explicit non-existence differently. And neither interpretation is wrong per contract.

It can, but especially during serialization Java sometimes adds null references to null values.

That’s usually a mistake by the API designer and/or Java dev, but happens pretty often.

I disagree with the implication and outrage about it.

It seems like ragebait, just like “gen Z doesn’t want to work” crap.

Well, I ditched my old phone because the battery is practically dead.

And my point is not, that I don’t have a mitigation at hand, but it’s stupid that I even need that mitigation. Essentially, the security providers offloaded their incompetence and/or unwillingness to pay insurances onto all of their users.

But I regularly throw a few handfuls of assorted pills and drive around the continent for a full weekend.

I literally can’t use that car!!!

True. And I don’t even know, what to do about it. I can’t really be expected to always keep and maintain two phones, ideally at different places.

Of course it is. It’s a job that doesn’t really exists, but gets advertised.

That’s not how this works, though.

These “jobs” are just a way to acquire talent. A larger company can almost always need a few more “good workers”. So if a really good candidate comes along, they’ll snatch that person, if the candidate is just okayish, they tell them someone else got the job.

No.

Interoperability is only required, if you have a significant market share. Apple does not have this in the EU. iMessage specifically doesn’t fall under this regulation, since hardly anyone uses it.

And since Apple plans to publish an SDK for their intelligence anyway, you can’t really regulate them for being too closed.

So either that’s a purely political retaliation, or their “super privacy friendly” services aren’t as privacy friendly as they claim.

I have to say, I’m so confused, how so many stupid people can make it to the top, and how well the companies often work despite them.

We had something like this too. The header had our company’s logo as just a rectangular white picture. It looked like someone just copy/pasted the first result on Google images.

Maybe you were just at a bad school? Quadratic equations are mandatory in Germany even for the lowest level of graduation.

Until my Abitur (12th grade) I learned about equations, stochastics, integrals and derivatives, vector stuff, etc.

That’s software development for you. Why is that weird value there? Because some guy, at some point, had checked for that and somehow it’s still relevant.

I know of a system that churns through literally millions of transactions representing millions of Euros every day, and their interface has load bearing typos (because Germans in the 90s were really bad at the Englishs).
