IP bans are equivalent to residential door locks. They’re only deterring the most trivial attacks. In school I needed to scrape a few hundred thousand pages of a proteomics database website. For some reason you had to view each entry one at

I agree. 90% of DSLR shots don’t need to push the limits of physics. 100 vs 1600 ISO doesn’t matter if you have indistinguishable noise reduction. F/1.8 gives a nice bokeh, but if you only have two depth planes (a foreground subject an

There are bespoke tools for scanning documents with your phone and exporting to PDF. The quality is MUCH better this way, as it automatically crops, aligns, and dewarps the image, plus applies filters to adjust the colours. You would have a

Does anyone know why this will cost "over USD$3 Billion to restore"? The entire aircraft costs approximately $300 million, so I would have expected a number less than or equal to that. Even the B-2 Spirit bomber, most likely the m

My security policy is based on the most common data breaches, where an adversary obtains a big list of email/passwords and just tries them on a handful of sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc), throwing out the records that don't work. S

This is one of my favourite features of XCode. If you "// MARK:" lines, they'll show up in the minimap. Eg. https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*j38oOm3Pt5AMnDI3HQ6TGQ.pn... Screenshot stole

There’s only so many single-word .io, .app, and .ai domains left, and the trend to “tumblr”ize words has fallen out of fashion.

I’d rather have a nice bright (in the dark) camera with a wide field of view that’s only 480p.

Risk = probability * loss So even though the probability is very very low, the loss (consequence) is extremely high (say an order of magnitude) which makes this a high risk.

Wow, that’s some bad UX. Especially when it can’t as easily be done on mobile.

I think the point was that AngularJS is V1. Version 2 and beyond is just called “Angular”.

Thanks for the info! I’ve used 33mail in the past but had no idea I could use it with my domain. And at $1/month that’s pretty good value.

That’s not entirely true. For example, ML is used in radiology to find problems that are too subtle for the human eye to detect.

How is that not relevant? If you’re looking to spend a minimal amount of money for a phone that will last a while, Android is arguably poor value since you’ll be replacing it sooner. See the Boots Theory of Socioeconomics: https:/&#x2

Something I always tell my students: current is pulled, not pushed. According to Ohm’s law, I = V/R. The resistance of your skin is constant (well mostly — you can of course get it wet to decrease resistance), so the only way to increa

My rapid antigen tests come with positive and negative control samples. I think that would be easiest: just “swab” with the positive control and it will always show as positive.

In my case (Samsung), only HDMI supports 0x60 to switch input. DisplayPort had DDC support for many things but strangely switching inputs does not work.
