   This is what my priorities would be: 1. Make sure you have a good debugger set up for any existing code. This is to answer the question of exactly how a function behaves, what are the meaning of parameters, etc. You know you're going t

   Here is a very succinct version: Shut The Fuck Up Friday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTurSi0LhJs (fair warning, this will autoplay the word 'Fuck' in the first 10 seconds)

   That's a good point, it might be more productive to focus on U2F type solutions since they protect against this attack and others, where this is only a bandaid with a convenience cost.

   There should really be a browser-managed 'tainted' flag on any tab opened from an email that prevents password input. Or if not prevents, at least a scary warning click through like an unsigned certificate creates, which at least

   Even though the title is wack I just want to thank the original poster for inadvertently causing me to learn how to interpret SEC Form 4.

   I'm thinking about supply side and demand side differently right now. The supply side business outcomes are going to be based on the customer profile, the financial strength, and some localized effects of the pandemic situation. I&#x27

   I think we're going to see three basic categories: 1. Essential+Unaffected: demand will be steady because there is no other choice, i.e. food, communication, ecommerce. 2. Horribly Affected: maybe even illegal to open right now, and wh

    The USB flavors and so many others have a little plastic tongue on the female side which I think is the source of the alignment sensitivity and fragility issues. Lightning, headphone jacks, and RJ45 have a purely concave port which I much p

    I've been meaning to set up some kind of basic crawl & archive system forever. Ideally I'd like to output something replayable and analyzable like a WARC or HAR, but also spit out a PDF, which I think chrome headless should be

    Thanks, that's interesting -- I'll have to buy one of their bulbs to compare to my other LED bulbs. Looks like the lowest cost might be the 100W COB LED ... It would need a bunch of supporting equipment but it might be possible to

    In terms of morality the government directly controls one third of the economy I want to live in a world where they legislate wisely and enforce laws effectively in a clear and transparent way. In terms of reality I can only observe and des

    I think he said that he views it as a moral issue and he doesn't believe he should be compelled by the government to directly provide a public service, or something to that effect. And although I have to take him at face value, my init

    I think it is driven by likes and bookmarks, if you browse your likes and bookmarks you might see the source of certain recommendations, and unliking and unmarking should control it. (I don't actually know, but this is how I believe it

    hmm not a bad idea, I've never done it, I always assemble inside the case. And then after the loud beeping sound, check around to find which connectors I've missed.

    Yeah I used a computer for years with no case, to turn it on all you have to do is briefly short 2 pins on the front panel connector. Although once inside a case it can be pretty awkward to access.

    I agree, looking at devices around the sub-$300 price point that were lab tested, PA-II has good performance and seems to be readily available.

    Anyone want to review this table and suggest a currently commercially available option in the $300 and lower price range? I may have time this afternoon but if anyone does go thorough it I'm interested to know.

    I think the marketing differentiation works best when it is driven by factors that are hard to measure and control, but that are perceived as high value, like flavour and style. When buying bottled water, the water is free, you're buyi

    I've thought about the "worker shortages" that are a common theme in tech, I think a big part of the issue is that American's income has been flat-ish for the last 20 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

    As the old saying goes, you don't create a HideTaiwan() function, you create a HideCountry() function and require Taiwan to be provided as a parameter.

    Another issue is compliance. If a doctor could say: eat 2000 calories a day and break a sweat for 30 minutes, and expect people to do it, the general population would look totally different.

    I endorse that warning, I try to never pronounce i.e. 0x10 as "ten", just "hex one zero". After I wasted an hour hunting down somewhere I misused a number having the wrong base, it just isn't worth it.
