It’s not exactly a back door. It’s a fake radio cell, mimicking your network provider and acting like a man in the middle. In that sense, it’s like a stingray. The differences are 1. The Stingray eavesdrops, but avoids interfering with user

Is it possible to prove security properties about a web application?

I don’t think I’ve insinuated any threats. WCAG are guidelines. It’s a great idea to follow them if you want your content to be consumed, but as you say most jurisdictions would only mandate accessibility for certain actors, not for everyon

I don’t know, I got 140 upvotes on a nitpick so I think others agree with me it’s hard to read.

Like this, by word of mouth. That’s how Apple has done UI design since they stopped printing paper manuals. - ctrl-shift-. to show hidden files on macOS - pull down to see search box (iOS 18) - swipe from top right corner for flashlight bu

Yes, it’s a great workaround but website owners should not make me do that.

To the author: please use a darker font. Preferably black. I’m only in my 40’s, I don’t require glasses (yet) and I have to actively squint to read your site on mobile. Safari, iPhone. I’m pretty sure you’re under the permitted contrast lev

Namespacing is great; look at how Notepad++ was hacked. They were sharing a non-namespaced deployment with other applications, IIRC.

I’m thinking even simple containers have automatic restarts. I wouldn’t deploy to prod using ”docker start” but I wouldn’t look askance at someone using “docker compose” for that purpose.

I think his argument is that the functionality is unnecessary. You don’t need dynamic service scaling because your single-instance service has such high capacity to begin with. I guess it’s all about knowing when to re-engineer the solution

I mean, you’re not wrong about the facts, but it’s also pretty trivial to migrate the data from SQLite into a separate Postgres server later, if it turns out you do need those features after all. But most of the time, you don’t.

How does Texas law affect the possibility of distilling in a Saudi compound? What’s the jurisdiction there?

It’s extremely common and nothing to worry about. As a brass instrument player, I sometimes come across someone whose instruments always deteriorate at 300% of the rate of others. Laquer peels, silver plating blackens, etc.

Definitely been a long standing issue on many laptops with exposed metal parts. Late 90’s, if I used my brother’s Compaq while putting my feet up on the radiator, the metal speaker grills would give me mild shocks.

It repeats a few points too many times for a professional writer to not catch it. I don’t mind that they let an LLM write the text, but they should at least have edited it.

If you are not willing to migrate out of GitHub, what you can do is to avoid using Copilot on your private repository.

That was already decided in an old case about Betamax recorders, quoted on the front page of the linked article.

I recall hating the PC Gamer web site back in the late 90’s. It was sluggish on modem because of the banner ads and the heavy use of GIF decorations on their pages. Nothing is new under the sun. Well, they used to have some great articles…

If you're trusting a 5-year-old with a computer (connected to the internet, no less) and then letting them use it unsupervised, then you would already be putting a lot of trust in sites implementing age controls correctly (or at all).

Do you think the mechanisms required by this law, as described in the linked article, constitute ”good parental control”?

Its not solid. It’s overly long and repetitive.

Everyone who’s still running Intel hardware, especially on Windows. I recently swapped out my work PC (a beefy workstation laptop) for an M4 Pro and it’s an amazing upgrade.

It was not set on fire, it was ”invested” in dead Russian soldiers.

Surely you’re not seriously saying that you believe AI agents, in their current state of the art, meet whatever criteria you have for being ”alive”? That’s kind of how you’re coming across. I don’t really know how to respond to that, becaus

One of us is an advanced autocomplete engine. The other is a human, capable of making judgements on what is conscious and what is not. Your philosophizing about solipsism is a phase for a junior college student, not of a software engineer.

The human mistake here is to interpret any statement by the LLM or agent as if it had any actual meaning to that LLM (or agent). Any time they apologize, or insult someone, or say they don’t want to be shut down, that’s only reflecting wha

The Department of War under Trump has proven itself to not be interested in defending you, the American people. All they’ve done so far is aggression against foreign supposed adversaries.
