That's a good recipe for getting a black eye. The mother-to-be tends to be pretty much confined to her immediate affairs, but the partner… (I'm sure everyone is different, but I've been there as the father-to-be, and I would

Take any group of a hundred tech people (devs, analysts, architects, etc.), and 95 of them will do everything with their stock Android or IOS smartphone. Maybe 3 will consciously limit their use of that device, and the remaining 2 reluctant

Don't worry, that feature will inevitably be phased out because only a small percentage of people use it. Every new secure government identification/authentication/verification thing will try to 'just' use Android&#

Similarly, I used a wired vibrator (more power) to get the bubbles out of body casting alginate. It makes sense. Specific professional tools to vibrate viscous fluids to get bubbles out of it exist (like those odd looking concrete vibrators

Using umlauts to signal that a vowel is pronounced separately is common in a number of languages (like Dutch).

This is a misconception which keeps getting repeated. It's easy to use an em-dash on any modern Linux desktop as well (and in a lot of other places).

Not at all, I ordered at the LiSaDuPu Store ( https://www.aliexpress.com/store/912251155 ). I had a 60 mm outline of a water lily leaf ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeblatt ) made, and the die seem

Even quality can be fine on AliExpress for all sorts of parts and even custom work. Small screws in a specific size, wood routing bits, drill bits, magnets, crafting stuff… I had a cutting die for leather made there in a shape specified by

Huh. I did not expect that to happen. Well spotted.

Not much of an issue. Did this get more annoying in the newest versions?

Having knowledge of the exploit itself does not seem to factor in to determining the complexity of the exploit. Rather, it appears to document the complexity of executing it against any given target, given that the exploit is known to the a

Is it? We've been using it self-hosted for years, together with GitLab. It meets all the needs of a small company, and is very pleasant to work with for devs too (i.e., basic Markdown just works, so you can post anything from code to l

The linked CVE has something that strikes me as odd. It marks this exploit's 'Attack Complexity' as 'High', meaning: > A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a succ

And of course, because the inner JWT is already signed, why bother signing the outer one? Just validate the inner one! I'm feeling sorry for those poor abused JWTs in this vulnerability.

That seems naive — this was pushed by several Dutch ministers over the past decades. It would have been made law here in any case. Law and order, tuff-on-crime political parties (PVV, VVD, CDA¹) just love the idea of control over citizen&#x

Totally. An Austrian fellow (who was indeed a grandfather) we rented a cottage from did this and told us about when I asked about what he was going to do with the hundreds of apples falling from his ancient apple tree. Apparently it's

The 125 g package tends to be exclusive for more expensive brands though, or special stuff like salted butter. 250 g is the basic European packaging unit of butter, with the occasional 500 g for margarine.

Not at all — just the US cups will do. Modern UK recipes tend to use tablespoons and teaspoons, but not cups.

So by your logic those would be properly called Italian Spanish and French Spanish?

On a Pixel from 6 upwards? Absolutely. GrapheneOS is what Android should be in terms of privacy and security. Its major drawback is only being available on Pixels, but if that is what you have… I bought my Pixel 6 specifically to run Graphe

Good point. At this point I would not be averse to mandating baroque fashion for everyone involved with the EU in that quarter. Also, the yearly trek to Strasbourg shall be made by horse drawn coach (that'll put an end to that wasteful

This one is a stylised black square 'G' rotate 45° on a white circle in a red field. Definitely off-colour dev humour for internal use; but that has its place.

It's an academic paper, so if written correctly it does not make that assumption (about the domain-specific abbreviation at least). Instead, the abbreviation will be written out in full at the first use, and it is: > Slightly more c

Emoji were in widespread use in Japan on the mobile phones of the generation before the smartphone. That is a corpus of many years of human communication which falls within the goals of Unicode to unlock. Those emoji may have been invented

Because language is use. Billions of people use emoji in their every day textual communications. Unicode exists to encode all textual communication.

It's probably academia catching up with historical documents digitised to Unicode. For CJKV any character can get added if it is found on an old scroll or something.
