As a use case other than the bottom type or "doesn't terminate", some pure languages use it to mean "this code path is impossible". I always liked the way Elm (and I assume many other pure functional languages) defi

I mean, let me limit a token's access to only a certain repository or subset of images or whatever the service is, rather than anything in my account. Separate accounts are a massive pain to manage by comparison.

Is this another GitHub thing with only user-scoped access tokens rather than project scoped? I really don't like that and I'm surprised people are seemingly fine with it.

Eh, it isn't just that though. I recently made a big push to try and get a relatively small change through (setting CSS Custom Properties), which is a big blocker for using a lot of web components (which is officially suggested as a wa

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, there is a danger here that you have to manually verify the origin of the page you are on, which makes you far more vulnerable to phishing attacks, which are common and can be very sophisticated (thi

I'm not sure I follow. Browser extensions aren't simulating keyboard strokes, so they absolutely would save you in that case.

KeePassXC has a thing where it asks you before it will give the browser the password the first time for a given URL. I don't know if you can force it to always prompt you, but that would seem a better solution—as others have pointed ou

No idea if 1Password does it, but KeePassXC has really good SSH support where it integrates with your SSH agent for storing private keys (and/or the relevant passphrase).

This is true, but my experience was they taught us barely anything (basically just the world wars), and what they did teach us was just memorising information about the past.

I think this is a very good way to frame it. I really dislike the "silver lining" narrative that seems to be common, because—as you say—it doesn't matter, the core thing is still indefensible. I'm British, and my educati

That was very much not my intent. I don't think my comment should be “us-vs-them” as I believe it holds regardless of your political position. The person I was responding to has claimed it was intended as an intentionality absurd “trol

I'm not sure “this person routinely trolls” implies that he is going to have particularly valuable insight either. Are you sure his 5G ideas aren't just trolling too? I can't see how what he suggests requires 5G really.

Scott Adams seems to be pretty divorced from reality, so I would take his ideas with a pinch of salt. (To clarify: He's also claimed that if Biden wins the election, Republicans will literally be hunted in the streets, and I think rega

I'm always suspicious of anyone who says "this is a fad" who treats the thing with disdain. If you don't understand what people like about the thing, it seems unlikely you will be able to identify if that desire is going

I mean, each time you distribute the software you are bound to the license terms for that version, so if you use the same license through time, you have to give that much history. Beyond that, it clearly becomes very murky, especially when

Yeah, I definitely don't mean to imply that the comparison to your current cards is a hard and fast rule, but more that it's a good thing to start thinking about if you never skip cards.

Yeah, my advice was squarely aimed at those who are struggling with the base game difficulty. Your advice is sound for those who get better for sure, the game will definitely punish you for being greedy and trying to keep your deck too clea

I have no idea if this will help you in particular (depends on how you play right now), but something counter-intuitive about deck-building in general that helped a friend of mine up his win-rate in StS a lot is that you need to consider th

I saw someone who was posting close-ups of nipples without specifying a gender to make the point that it isn't really that simple. Is a trans woman's nipple OK? What about a trans man? What if the trans man has large breasts? What

I think that's fundamentally misrepresenting what the article is saying. They are saying that the memes shared in these communities serve to reinforce and spread the ideology.

Hah, it depends on the video/podcast I'm watching/listening to for sure, but sometimes 2.5x/3x is very nice. I think I sort of built it up over time though, I remember not being able to do 2x previously because it seemed

I don't think it is that simple. When it comes to not playing the ads, I agree that is a problem. When it comes to the features, I think it is different. One of the features is background playback of audio from videos. On the desktop,

I think there is an argument for it being a hack in the sense that a secure system should try and limit internal abuse too.

Sure, that's true. It's not exactly uncommon to conflate a term with the most common/likely implementations known though, which is what I assumed happened here. It is true that universal healthcare could solve those problem
