   You can include encrypted secrets and deploy the key out-of-band (eg just copy the private key with scp). This is much more secure than env variables which are prone to leakage. Our open source solution for this (cross-platform, cross-langu

   I randomly come across a link to this every ten years or so. It is put together splendidly well. I must admit however that I’m a tad disappointed that the list of factors contributing to the critical endangerment of this wonderful specimen

   https has put the kibosh on a lot of this type of stuff, unless you’re willing to set up a local CA and trust the root cert on ~every device that will use your network.

   Here’s a map of abandoned oil wells; they’re referred to as “orphaned wells” in the official nomenclature and there’s a state-maintained registry so they should be easy to find. They’re all over the state. Probably can’t walk far without tr

   That was my own motivation and this should work for you out of the box. (just that the default/sample config file is for three finger swipe, not two.)

   Yes; no nuclear proponent asks for that process to change for nuclear but only for the same to be applied to other sources. I just listened to an NPR program about methane leaks in Louisiana from fly-by-night operators that drill, make a pr

    I am in the same boat but experience this on mobile, too. They just slow everything down by the same factor.

    On the other hand, nuclear is only “expensive” because we make power plants pay for ~all externalities and put aside huge amounts of money in advance to cover the (projected, though sometimes not comprehensive) cost of clean up and decommis

    Good question. There is no technical barrier since it is possible to generate a mouse down event separate from a mouse up event however currently events are generated after the gesture is complete (meaning mouse location has been lost). I

    Hahaha I never thought of it like that! But to admit it myself and to my own detriment, having seen people so accustomed to their phones try to “pinch and zoom” in real life makes me think that no number of additional gestures will make up

    There’s a great article on XFG here [0] but it observed that a failed XFG check downgrades to a regular CFG check instead of a denial.. meaning it adds zero extra protection? Perhaps this behavior has changed since the preview they tested,

    Thanks for looking. There is no such fundamental limitation and the code was written to support these and other gestures in the future. However I don’t use those other gestures myself and had no motivation to write in support for them. (Th

    You’re not the only one to express this sentiment; a lot of people grappling with the discontinuities in the X11 to Wayland migration (and the gnome 2 to gnome 3 to gnome 4) have been saying the same thing. And that’s just for cases where t

    Yup. libxo is much more free-form, while anything going through a serialize-deserialize process is going to necessarily have to be more regular.

    Serde can kind of do this for rust projects, but you're usually constrained to outputs that are "identical but for the syntax/format" (i.e. same field names though perhaps with different naming conventions). I've

    Really cool tech behind this demo! I wish I could see the realtime php error/warning log (configured to log everything, of course); it would be interesting to see how perfect this simulator is, especially with the SQLite db rewrite. It

    It’s a problem when the x16 slot is the bottom-most and the orientation is such that the clicky thing you must depress is on the bottom side of the DP connector when plugged in, and your case has a ledge after the PCI slots so you cannot

    A bigger problem is that it breaks text rendering. Transforms turn off pixel snapping in the hinting engine so you’ll get blurry text or lines. (At least if you applied it as a css transform you would. Maybe if you did it natively in svg yo

    Dr Roy on HN. This will be interesting. - - - First thing I did on my Ubuntu install was remove the Firefox snap, add the Mozilla ppa, and install Firefox from there via apt. If Mozilla maintains its own ppa and they do all the hard working
