It seems appropriate to regurgitate the one about the bear and the hikers.... Two friends are in the woods, having a picnic. They spot a bear running at them. One friend gets up and starts running away from the bear. The other friend ope

There is ForgeRock and WSO2 which we have used in the past. Perhaps they have moved on but would not recommend vs Keycloak.

I've never checked out your product, but we use Keycloak extensively and I can say it is a great Auth solution and I've used several and even built some (poorly). The only real downside of Keycloak IMO is the documentation. Becaus

That's just marketing 101, as used for centuries. A dark pattern would be luring them in further with something like "the one thing you need to do to fix your conversion rates", but with a link leading to a list of 10 things,

Nice. I chose the TTGO Display for my project to measure levels in my water tanks. It's a great board, though the ADC is rubbish. Unfortunately prices are on the move now (presume the chip shortage) and they now cost 2x what they were

Resumes have been on the verge of death for decades now, yet they are still with us. Yes, once you get in the door and get an interview the resume is worthless. Except it's not. The interviewer may need to run you past someone else. Wi

We have friends who are into their car rallying. They drive in a group of 4 or 5 families half way across the country towing their rally cars and entourage, let alone the actual racing part. It's a huge gas guzzling event. Yes, they pr

True. But I can't really think of any app that has the use case where it refreshes images in place. Possibly an app that did that sort of thing would be some kind of gallery or other very image-centric app. And if that were the case, t

A carbon tax would be more popular at if it was redistributed to the citizenry. Carbon tax is different from other taxes as the primary purpose is not to raise money for govt, it's to reduce carbon producing activity. So take all the p

Chill, it didn't come across as arrogant at all to me. I had the same question. If there is an equivalent way to achieve the effect digitally, for many people that is good information and they can do that, and don't need to go to

I give my key to my wife, who is tolerant enough to act as my gatekeeper and only gives it to me once a week. Pretty lame but it seems to work.

Yes, it takes special fortitude to fight off the demands of your precious new mega-customer, be they a Cisco or whoever. Sometimes they'll really screw your product up if you let them. (Though sometimes also they'll give you those

Something like this would feel like a small first step, maybe the other way around though. I'd like to put a timeout on any blogspam web sites I come across, and not have them show up in my search results again for one year. By that ti

You seem to be all about straw man situations affecting other people - I'm (perhaps selfishly) only interested in the quality of my own search results, and how much better they could be if I could give feedback to the search engine. If

I would guess that, apart from the immense effort of building it, delivering personalised search results like this would be enormously expensive in storage for the search engine. Much more than sorting people into a few cohorts/buckets

This is not really whataboutism, with two sides. And in any case, I don't care. I know what I feel is good content and it's stuff like this, and I want more of it, and less blogspam. So yes, my assumption is that my judgement is m

That's interesting, but it lost me at " all you have to do is choose which sites to search".

It's not about who else marked this as high quality. I want my signal to count (disproportionally).

Now I want to mark this site (in Google, say) with a "high quality" measure. Then I want my search results to prefer this page, and other pages marked high for quality by people who [some algorithm] to this page. Then Google would

There are so many beautiful UI hints with this. 1) The shape of the microphone positively urges the user to lean forward and talk into it. Compare to a modern smartphone where it's not at all obvious where the microphone is. 2) The gia
