To make a long story short, we had a developer who recently stopped working for us. He helped created an app for iPhone in Xcode that downloads its data from a Google Firebase (Firestore) database he set up on our account. Today we got this quite scary email (as seen on the attached screen shot below). Unfortunately we're in between developers and don't have any Firebase developers at the moment (and the previous developer was fired and remains unresponsive to us). I'm only a UX-Designer and I honestly don't understand a word from this email. Anyone that knows Firebase that can help me understanding this email? Does this mean our database is publicly available on the surface web (so for example search engines can crawl/index it)? What do I do about this?

I'm developing an iOS app that displays store locations on a map using Apple Maps (MapKit). I've limit the number of icons that can be displayed on the map to 100, but there's still huge performance issues and the app is very laggy even on modern iPhone models. What's the best practice when displaying a large number of icons on a map, should the icons be in PNG format with a small resolution (~10kb) or should the icons be vector (SVG) for best performance? Should I use the MapKit framework for iOS 17 or the UIKit approach?

Got several large text files that often I want to compare the differences off. Many browser "apps" stop half way through cause it takes too long or they just highlight complete tosh that's wrong, nor do I know about their data policy and what they do with the data I submit. Is there some offline version or one that can handle at least 20k characters? Best example is the Gits version control where it highlights the difference from the previous compared file.

Is there a way to display the GPU (graphics card) workload usage as a percentage for Apple Silicon M-series Mac with Swift & Xcode? CPU monitoring works. GPU monitoring seems impossible. I only get the workload for the current app, but total GPU workload for the whole system is impossible to figure out for me. Any ideas how to do this?

Budget: Under $2000 United States My dad made the mistake of buying a dell computer that has horrid cooling and I can hear the fans ramping up full; he has only had this desktop for 3-4 years; it has a Xeon chip and Quadro graphics card with 64 gigs of ram and 2 m.2 nvme drives. He uses the computer for emails, thunderbird, web browsing, watching Netflix, communication through Microsoft teams, chrome and Microsoft edge open with lots of tabs, one note, etc. He uses visual studio, eclipse, powershell, copilot, esri ArcGIS pro; (spatial data, advanced mapping analytics, 2d 3d and 4d visualizations) IntelliJ idea; JavaScript, typescript, kotlin, react, vue, angular, node.js) He also programs in bash and C sharp He has all of these things open at once on a 4k monitor@60hz He was thinking of an i9-13900 with a score of 48,088 on cpubenchmark.net (passmark) and wants the next pc to be around 50,000 (but it can be lower as long as it can run everything he uses) I was hoping he would build his next computer but he is thinking of buying a dell alienware laptop :(. I told him it wouldn’t have as good cooling as building a desktop. So what parts (cpu) amd or intel would be good for his workload, also what gpu (he doesn’t game) but I was thinking like a cheap Radeon card; an all amd build with smart access memory (or intel build) would be good for his workload? Basically intel or amd with 64 gigs of ram a decent motherboard and would fit in a mAtx/mini itx like this one https://a.co/d/i01WITR And if he did buy a laptop what brand/model would be good for his work? (Please link a couple options)

This is mostly out of curiosity Let's say that I write some functionality in C++ and it works in Windows 11 just fine. 1. Does it mean that it will work in just about any machine as long as it's Windows 11? 2. Would it work on any Windows version? Like Windows 10 3. What if I developed it in Ubuntu 22, would it work in future and past Ubuntu versions? 4. Would it work on different Linux distros? I have seen a handful of different compilers for C++ , hence the question Tagging @wasab as I have seen him mention this language

Hi! I want to buy a new laptop that can last for the next 3-5 years. I need the laptop mostly for programming and for sometimes I would like to be able to play some older games(not the newest AAA games). Overall I want a laptop that has a quite good battery time and also has the performance to run heavy duty tasks too. My old laptop was a HP Pavilion 15 series and had a lot of battery issues, I had 2 battery changes in the last 3 years since I bought the machine and it only operated about 1.5-2 hours on battery when used for working. My budget for the new machine is about a ~1000 EUR. Can you please help me out with suggestion? I am not that familiar with the current trends/capabilities of laptops. Thank you in advance!

Budget (including currency): 2500 EUR Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Study - reading, writing reports, coding and programming. Playing Valorant and other AAA Games like Baldur's gate, Elden ring, cyberpunk, Hogwarts legacy etc. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc.): I have made a pcpartpicker list, pls check it out - https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/RMC328 - Basically I need more than 200 fps in valorant and for coding I need to run Julia and simulation programs like Matlab, python etc. Hi, I just made this build at pcpartpicker after skimming through the forum and watching some YouTube videos and since I am starting my studies this year, I require upgrade from my laptop to a pc with which I can study, code and game at the same time. Hopefully this is quite good, and it fits my budget, let me know if any suggestions or upgrades are required for this build.

I am studying game design at university with a touch of software engineering, and need a new laptop for schoolwork. I have found two good sales in my country and initially wanted to go for the cheaper one (The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i, with a core I3). However, it only has an I31115G4 as CPU, which only has two cores. The system otherwise has decent reviews, with 8 gb of RAM (upgradeable), 512gb SSD, good build and a mediocre screen. The more expensive laptop is around 160 USD more on sale (The ThinkPad X13 Gen 2), but uses an AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600U processor which, according to AMD https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-5600u sports 6 cores and more cache. In addition, this system has 16 gb RAM, the same amount of storage and a much better screen. While reviews for this computer are more mixed, this is due to its higher price point. However, I can get it for 50% off and the overall quality of the laptop should be at least as good as the other one. Crucially, this system does not come with an operating system pre installed, so I would have to find a cheap windows 10/11 key myself. While the first laptop can also be had with an I5, the discount on the second means that it makes more sense to buy that one if an I3 doesn't fit my needs. I am going to be doing some web development, light 3d modelling, basic Java programming, programming in Unity using C#, and perhaps some database stuff as well. So here is my dilemma: I have been considering buying a desktop for gaming use and homework at home, so I don't necessarily need the fastest system or the best screen. However, I will need to program and do some homework at university, so long compile times would definitely hinder my studies. On the other hand, the money saved could be used on a desktop at home. While I can afford either system without too much issue, I am not so rich that I can just throw money away unnecessarily. So TLDR: Are two cores in a modern laptop enough for comfortable programming?

Hey guys, I could really use some help choosing a suitable laptop for my bachelors program. From next year I’ll be starting my undergraduate program for computer science and Engineering and I want to buy a new laptop to take me through (at least) my bachelor of 3 years. I want it to have optimal specs for CS related tasks with graphical capabilities for rendering and editing videos. I also want to be able to do light to medium load AI/ML stuff on it. Does anyone here have any suggestions/tips for some things I should be specifically looking for in the laptop I am going to buy? Are there any suitable models / brands that come to mind which have proven to be reliable and a good choice for my purposes? Just some things to keep in mind: - My budget is about €2500 - I live in the Netherlands so I should be able to buy it ( cuz I heard some models are continent specific or something? ) Thank you in advance

Hi all! I am part of a student-organisation trying to organise a cultural family event for ~200 people. We would like to involve the children by organising quizzes tournament via phone or tablet. As we are student-run, we are quite limited in terms of budgeting. My initial idea was to use Kahoot, but due to the amount of participants, its not possible to use the basic subscription. I am looking at other applications, but I am yet to find a solid-solution. I was hoping that I can find some solutions/ideas in this forum. Description of a perfect scenario: 7 Booths in total Each booth has a quiz Participant's result can be traced and monitored Leaderboard is monitored by the organisers I'm also a computer science student, so I'm open to programmable solutions as well. I have experience with C++, C# and Python. (Very little experience with web-development ) Any ideas or guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks! Arief.

Hi there, I am currently coming up to the half way point of my university degree, I am studying cyber security and currently completing the Cisco networking as part of it. To help with my study when not at home I got an Ipad pro and got a keyboard case from Amazon. But as I go further I am finding I need a desktop environment for some of the programs we are using as they don't work on iOS or Android. So I am looking for some advice on what sort of laptop I should get. I am ideally looking at less than £1000(roughly $1200). The biggest thing for me is being able to use it for the next 5-6 years before I have to even think about upgrading again. Thanks.

My current main monitor is 27" 1080p https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/monitors/gaming/66a3gccbus it's better than my other 2 which I use as my side and vertical monitors. My side monitors are one of the budget AOC monitors and I was looking to replace my main with 1440p or higher for gaming and coding (my main job). I have a laptop that is 2880 x 1800 OLED and my god even though its 14" I prefer it for coding just because of how readable everything is. I may need glasses but I honestly prefer the OLED clean look especially when consuming media. The main reason I am asking for help is because I really don't just myself to research and buy a monitor I will not regret (also a bit afraid of buying an OLED for my desktop because I use my computer probably more than 12 hours a day every day). My budget is probably around $800 but cheaper is preferred. If my dream monitor really is a dream for that price I am still open to see what all my options are. In advance thanks for you help if you decide to comment Also I might want to replace my vertical with a flat monitor because currently it is a curved TN panel 1080p. -- Edit I say OLED but I believe IPS also is pretty clear if I'm not mistaken (I literally have only ever seen TN and VA panels ) -- Edit 2 Just saw the QLED Alienware https://www.amazon.com/Alienware-AW3423DW-34-18-inch-3440x1440-Curvature/dp/B09VQ48X5Q and honestly I would be down for an ultrawide (I always blow up my budget lol) -- Edit 3 The Odyssey OLED G8 looks insane

Hello everyone, I am a Python programmer for quite a while and although Python makes development easier and faster in a lot of ways, there is an area that always seemed that was kept behind even though it was widely used by the Python community, and that thing I’m talking about is Pythons native Object Oriented System. While Java or C# or even C++ has an Object Oriented system that support attribute type enforcement, interfaces and abstract classes, Python can somewhat provide those things, but without any enforcement at all. That always seemed to me a shameful thing, because Python in many ways is a very powerful language, but that also makes it prone to errors. For instance, I’ve had many bugs in Python when I was trying to assign a value to the wrong attribute because I simply misspelled it’s name by one character (e.g. namee instead of name). Another issue that seemed problematic to me is that there are a lot of repetitive tasks we do when creating classes that could be automated as well, from constructors, type enforcement, lazy attributes to the creation of getters/setters (While I’m aware of the @property decorator, I always preferred get/set methods). Granted, Python 3.7 introduced the @dataclass classes, they are very simplistic — No type enforcement, default values assignement is basic at best (You cannot call a method to assign their default values), let alone speak about lazy attributes, or final attributes. For that reason, I’ve decided to create a new Object Oriented System for Python — Kisa. Kisa supposed to bring many improvements over Pythons native Object Oriented System and that includes: Auto generated getters/setters Auto generated constructors Default attributes — Can be initialized from instance method Lazy attributes Attribute type support Abstract classes Interfaces Enforcement of inheritance Static attributes Static methods Attribute modifiers — Add hooks to attribute/method call before the call, around the call or after it was called Allow attributes to be None or not Make attributes final Decide if attributes are required by the constructor or not Many more I believe Kisa can and will make development in Python faster to write, maintain, better organized, and safer. A very basic example of a Kisa class: import kisa class Person(metaclass=kisa.Class): firstname = kisa.Info(type=str, required=True, final=True) lastname = kisa.Info(type="str", required=True, final=True) age = kisa.Info(type=int, required=True) friends = kisa.Info(type=list, default=lambda: []) def fullname(self): return f"{self.firstname()} {self.lastname()}" def birthday(self): # Getter new_age = self.age() + 1 # Setter self.age(new_age) # # raises Exception: "firstname" is Missing in instance creation for class Person # noam = Person() noam = Person(firstname="Noam", lastname="Nisanov", age=22) # raises Exception: Tried to modify a final attribute "firstname" # noam.firstname("Generic") # raises Exception: "age" must be of type: <class 'int'> # noam.age("bla bla") print(f"First name: {noam.firstname()}") # prints "First name: Noam" print(f"Last name: {noam.lastname()}") # prints "Last name: Nisanov" print(f"Full name: {noam.fullname()}") # prints "Full name: Noam Nisanov" print(f"Current age: {noam.age()}") # prints "Current age: 22" print(f"Birthday!") # prints "Birthday!" noam.birthday() print(f"New age: {noam.age()}") # prints "New age: 23" For more information, please take a look at the project GitHub https://github.com/nmnsnv/kisa Thanks Noam Nisanov (noam.nisanov@gmail.com)

Hello, I am having trouble reading man pages for certain commands, it seems intimidating for newer users. I was wondering if you have any tips or tricks on how to read man pages effectively. I'm a new user on Arch Linux. I already know how to search man pages using (man -k), but I was wondering how do you read and understand the commands effectively. (ex: chmod or fdisk) Thank you.

I'm curious if there is an updated set of resources to learning/advancing in Clojure since the last time that I looked for such a thing. I've been using the mid-2010s resources on it mostly (i.e. Clojure for the Brave and True and the like). Anyone have a more refreshed list on the latest and greatest in Clojure resources?
