When people say Apple products are secure, we’re not saying they’ll stand up to the world’s top hackers, we’re saying when we visit grandpa we won’t find that he’s installed a toolbar in his browser that’s vacuuming up his bank password eve

Nah, this isn’t a matter of people wanting the site to be good but not knowing what to do. They know that they’re making the experience worse, and they don’t care because it makes them slightly more money. We’re well past the point where pe

Well that take sure goes from 0 to 60 real fast. Can you really be sure that only people with good phones and connections have money to spend? Just to poke some obvious holes: what about old rich people who have a distaste for modern phones

Yeah, and the problem is that if you try to start a bootstrapped company to compete with Glassdoor without ever taking funding, you’ll be outspent on marketing by the companies that did take funding and you’ll go under. There’s a reason so

My guess is that most extension takeovers happen because the developer was making no money from the extension, not a lot of money at their dayjob, maintaining the extension was sucking up all their free time and maybe they also got an unexp

But there’s a reason people advise against security by obscurity: the obscurity can go away at any time and once it does it’s unrecoverable. So sure, maybe pat yourself on the back today that on top of your other measures, no one outside yo

I’m not about to do this myself, but I can totally see why someone would. With the way some movies just fall off of streaming services and even rental services and just become unfindable, I’m glad there are people out there keeping independ

Huh? IPv6 does have backwards-compatible-ish notation for writing IPv4 addresses. To take your example: 1.2.3.4 would be ::ffff:1.2.3.4, the 96-bit prefix indicated by ::ffff: is where all of the IPv4 addresses live in the larger IPv6 space

Allegedly this advice (making the Youtube face) actually works, prevails in A/B tests, and at this point is basically required in order to get enough viewers to sustain a channel. Veritasium did a video on it a while back, and the guys
