Can you please share a link to the programming set you mentioned, I can't find it?

What if users were able to disable FaceID by configuring blinking x times or by having their eyes closed for a certain time period? Maybe requiring FaceID + a different PIN after recognizing that locking over the lock.

Congratulations, glad you're using Ghost. You should give away some "Code Keyboard" to your readers to commemorate the 10th anniversary. Keep it up

ramgp | 12 years ago | on: Poll: What level of math is programming roughly analogous to?

Obviously it depends.

Creating a software solution (program or app, whichever is it called these days) goes beyond programming/coding it, and it often depends on the problem you're trying to solve aka the problem domain or simply domain. That's why creating an mobile app to track a list of things to do on a person's day requires a different process for creating it than creating a solution for an self flying aircraft, weapon, banking, or medical system.

So, I don't think programming in general is bound to any math level. Some systems may require some specific math in order to create an adequate solution for them.
