   Sounds like a variant of the "nothing to hide" argument which, IMO, isn't particularly logical.

   I think this post was made because of this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66310280 From the article: >Last year a cargo ship carrying 4,000 luxury cars caught fire and sank off the Azores. Lithium-ion batt

   Thank you for your amazing software and for continuing to push the boundaries of test automation. Most interesting thing I've read all week.

   Absolutely. Independent bodies don't solve the other myriad issues with attestation, but they don't add the ones that corporate interests do either.

   A great story and true BSOD material!

   A good and measured article marred only by a silly, clickbait title. Unless there is a plan to allow attesters that are independent bodies then this is absolutely a threat to the open internet, or what's left of it. The biggest dead ca

   >there's thousands of non-profits that'll do it for free, or for a few bucks a year, and where an actual human will be reachable. Doubt. But open to examples. However I suspect they'll all be subject to ifs and buts and pa

   This immediately stuck out to me as a flaw. I don't have a problem with, e.g. small content creators selling hats with their logo on, but that site wouldn't be condoned by IFZ. But a site showing adverts for those hats would be ok

    I was banned from the school computer suites several times for (ab)using net send. Good times.

    How frequently do you consider taking psychedelics at work? I suspect I know the answer, and that you can see why that line of reasoning is a bit dishonest

    Yes, 2/3FA with a hardware key and push for login and access to anything security critical, and 2FA via push for everything else.

    We use six for anything related to an external system or third party (with multi factor where available), and these are password managed behind the same four word pass, plus multifactor. I'm assuming they stuck with four to make them m

    The company I work for currently gave me my password, comprised of four space-separated words, on my first day. It has no expiry and can only be changed at request or if compromised. My only gripe with this approach is that my specific pas

    Please for the love of Cthulu remove that awful auto scroll from your homepage. It's practically unusable in a mobile webview. Great article though!

    I didn't realise "not wanting to travel for over an hour each day, unpaid" and "not wanting to go back to the confinement of a tiny home" were forms of selfishness. If only there were some sort of middle ground, eh?

    This comes from the same person who said >This policy has created a lot of extra work, headaches, and overhead for more senior programers that have to support it. By my best estimate, less than 2% of our code is written by non-programmer

    Wow so he was 74 when he wrote that answer, and this comment that he followed up with: > I try to write what seems real. By now, I have no cause to fear how I will be judged, which makes it much easier for me.

    It's not just this but also the fact that there are many more layers of abstraction now than there were even 10 years ago, never mind 20/30/40 years ago, and the real world incentive to understand the entire stack of those ab

    Agreed. I regularly have to do a little "disable for site" dance with uBO and Privacy Badger to even get certain websites to load. It's kind of convenient in that it gives me an inflection point where I can choose not to use

    While this is true, my hope is always that these kind of posts will spark meaningful discussion or be relevant to the current tech meta / zeitgeist. This thread is 50% "this software is garbage" and 5p% "why was this pos

    This is surely an inconsistency with Python, not with array indexing at large.
