Also there's no ceiling to the debt that can accrue from integrating a certain software with a product, and when that debt stalls for a while then it'll just become accepted as part of the process. Whereas a blender has a debt cei

I've noticed companies that recruit on LinkedIn marking roles as remote, then at the very bottom of the long job description it mentions that it is in fact not remote. I could see someone making it through the initial calls without it

It's tough to imagine slugging culture becoming prominent enough that it could be a reliable and timely mode of transport, and HOV lanes aren't always available to provide an incentive to drivers.

Also "OpenID Connect" sounds like some sort of branded product rather than a technical standard.

I think they were deliberately pointing out the absurdity by comparing it to other far more dangerous things we just waive off if you have a license.

I'm also curious if Number Theory folks acknowledge and/or have conventional language to describe "same-ness" between 2 or more of these goofy prime number phenomena. (I guess what I'm describing is just a reduction

I imagine Firefox would die instantly if it moved to a restrictive license. It would be too easy to simply switch to a popular fork, and Firefox's userbase are the type that would be compelled to follow through with it. Even ignoring F

I actually interpreted the phrasing of "most dramatic rise in unemployment the U.S. had ever seen" exactly to mean "it was even worse than the great depression in some ways". It seems too peculiar of a thing to say other

If they are the only user or developer, sure. Otherwise they are the least qualified to say it's better -- like how I'd be the least qualified to declare myself winner of a handsome contest.

It's easy to find primes of a given bit length, and it's easy to multiply them together. It's hard to un-multiply a given number (public key) into its unique prime factors (private key).

The author does a poor job explaining anything about URI or URN, and says very little about URL beyond naming the components of a hypothetical URL on their website. It is frankly confusing why they published this at all (other than to achie

What would be the problem? I imagine it'd be straightforward but I'm naive about this stuff.

When I was looking into it I was discussing with someone how Sony's refusal to meet the market led to Vegas being the top 5 most pirated software. I learned that Sony sold it to Magix during a big selloff, who apparently thrived by sim

Likewise, was looking for something with a workflow similar to Sony Vegas and came across Kdenlive. I mostly just needed to perform some simple cuts and fades with multiple audio and video tracks, and was very impressed by its capabilities

I imagined it being sort of tongue in cheek, like saying "who wants to know?". _That's all we know_ minimizes alarm to laymen while communicating that the page contains no other interesting information.

It's hilarious they likely spent thousands of hours work-shopping and testing a whole bunch of names and ultimately went with Numbrino .

"Two" is a magic number that conflates the concept with implementation. Two-factor authentication is not useful because of 2, it's useful because of >1. "Multi-factor" lets us generalize to 0 factors (anonymous),

For Microsoft it's another case of them going out of their way to exercise every possible inch of lee-way permitted by the specifications. No one in their right mind should expect a userinfo endpoint to only be accessible at an entirel

This seems pretty nice if you spend 100% of your computer time in a shell. For typical usage, swapping out F keys with a modifier seems like a downgrade unless you're short on space, and macros seems sorta like a workaround to address

To be fair, they never claimed `alias docker=podman` was the only necessary migration step. Merely that podman CLI supports the same commands/opts as docker CLI, in which case `alias docker=podman` is a way to opaquely use podman with
