I think of them more as by properties: Mercury hasn't even an atmosphere, it's too close to the sun; Venus is a hot earth so it sits closer than us; then comes its sister planet Earth; Mars is cool by comparison and sits further a

Deciding the color of the bike shed is easier than making important decisions about the building it sits next to. It's a well-known phenomenon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality

Reading back, yeah I can see the alternative interpretation of what I wrote, that's fair > Perhaps you meant "correct code", and not necessarily "old" or "stable" code. That sounds like a circular state

I mean, you don't have to update if you think that's the most likely vector (I don't disagree, at least for managers that have no online components, not even an update check). I'd recommend reading the changelogs though

The person above you is right. I've never had it happen to anyone I know so the risk seems exceptionally low (also because of the undo option), but technically you can indeed just fill in any IBAN and get that person to pay for your pr

PrivacyGuides (mentioned in a sibling comment) usually has some strange logic for what makes something a good option but it's broadly useful to get some options and ideas My answer is to more generally look for what's been around,

That wasn't the claim. The claim is that stable code (that isn't changed except to fix bugs) has fewer bugs than code someone newly wrote and we haven't had as much time to run into or otherwise uncover flaws. I never meant

Isn't this a fundamental issue with all popular password managers? Your setup where each decrypt requires a physical action is superior of course (even if an attacker is still likely to get 2-3 of the most important secrets before you

I loosely monitor new password managers that appear with surprising regularity on F-Droid. Most have security issues that can be trivially found. It's conceptually simple software (running strings through a function before writing it t

Having access to your own device doesn't break anything, they just don't want to be put in the same category as other FOSS Android distributions and play by Google's book so that apps will at least allow one open OS to work

FYI this comment was dead, not flagged. I wonder if you're hellbanned or if it was a keyword trigger

I'd rather give the bank account number to people that need to send money there. Why bother with email address?

I scrolled through all current comments and there's literally nobody who didn't enjoy it, at least not literally (some comments 'warn' that it's fiction, implying that they don't want to read that, not that the

This whole subthread (where I never meant safe as "unable to cause any sort of harm to any organism under any circumstance") feels moot. In general though, there's a reason virtually all countries heavily restrict access to w

Kid's toys beg to differ. The question is whether it's effective at safe electricity levels. I was just pointing out that safety is an aspect you'll need to certify before anyone's gonna buy it off of you. And whether yo

I didn't mean it as an absolutism; safety is never an absolutism. Driving a car is considered safe, too

Feel free to recreate and calibrate and guarantee safe shock levels to offer it cheaper if that fits your morals

fwiw I find `*` a lot easier in regular use than all of `-d 1 .`. It doesn't automatically expand to dotfiles but for regular typing, this advice looks like something you'd do if you're a robot or making an alias

That's not how I read the statement "It's impressive for the service to have such growth at that scale" that this was a reply to. They do seem to think the growth is impressive, not the absolute quantity, about which I a

I don't think my employer pays for our use of Github. Edit: but, then, perhaps that's why my view is tainted. Point taken!

That sounds unusual for a free platform (not a limited trial but an actual free tier). Isn't it usually the case that only some small percentage can be convinced to pay?

I always add some jitter but never actually had a problem where it would have been relevant. Recently I added it to a project where others also see it (not just a hobby thingy but something at work) and I was wondering if it would look sill

How is it impressive if we all know it's autogenerated? There's no more people there than there were before. Heck, at ~2x growth that's possibly a decrease in real humans there since bots generate loads of them per person

Input fields are dynamic elements. Textareas can be resized. Pages can be scrolled. Why implement everything anew in custom code if it can be implemented once per browser engine in native code, native UI, and expected/homogenous UX?

Exactly. Why reïmplement features in JS just because you can? Waste of effort and usually a worse user experience! Wait, that wasn't what you meant?
