Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity

ID verification using a picture taken of the ID is practically worthless. It is trivial to fake.

Which is how fast?

And what is the memory bandwidth on these APUs?

you’d definitely be able to do it cheaper with PC hardware.

You can get a GPU with 192GB VRAM for less than a Mac? Sign me up please.

Why even bother with things like strings for a salt? I would expect it to just take a byte array. Just create some random bytes and provide that.

they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

That way you get an app that’s crap on every platform.

Oh, I get to choose health insurance too. Only it’s not linked to my employer. And they all have to offer the same coverage. And they can’t refuse you for the basic health insurance.

The OP mentions he uses Comcast, which is an American ISP. I myself live in ‘socialist’ Europe and I can choose from 13 different ISP on fiber alone. Surely OP who lives in ‘free-market’ USA must have an unimaginable number of options.

Why not switch to a non-shit ISP?

Learning to program has little to do with learning a language. You need to learn how to think and solve problems in a certain way. You need to learn a bunch of theory that gives you a solid foundation to build upon.

Learning a new language, especially one as simple as C, is trivial. You pick whatever language best suits the problem you’re trying to solve.

If you’re looking to expand your programming skills I’d recommend picking up a language that is very different from what you are used to. Something that makes you think differently. For example: I think every programmer could benefit from playing around with a functional language like Haskell.

I can imagine wanting to learn a newer, more modern language than python.

I use Safari which has this feature built in.

Yeah, I usually hover around 300-400 open tabs. I clean them up once in a while but it just builds up again.

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

Good code is self-explanatory. You should only comment your code if it does something unexpectedly complicated.

The code shows what is being done. The comments should explain the why.

What does coffee have to do with anything?

Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.

The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?

You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.

Or car to carpet

Or fun to funeral

That’s Java, not Javascript. Java is to javascript as ham is to hamster.
