It’s been easy since the 2000s. This makes it easier to be safer than the built in SSH agent + Keychain but pure usability was a solved problem around by the turn of the century.

There's a lot of variety in the quality of writing from that period. At the time, a lot of “analysts” were doing lazy number-go-up stories rather than the harder work of actually looking at business fundamentals—I remember so many stor

This isn’t a serious response. Even if you had the clout to do that, you’d then own having to deal with the underlying pressure which lead them to require that in the first place. It’s rare that this is someone waking up in the morning and

There’s an entire academic field studying ways in which it’s not that simple. Housing, employment, and transportation are somewhat famously areas where markets need help due to information and power disparities.

VP8 was never competitive with H.264 – like WebP the apparent savings was due to lowering detail by double-encoding. Since people care about battery life / fan noise it only made sense if you were running a huge operation with the infr

SMS is terrible because it’s always been terrible, and carriers didn’t care. You can blame Apple for not making iMessage open but it’s just absurd to claim that SMS was ever good to an audience of people who’ve used it. RCS isn’t perfect bu

The way I’ve seen this on a few older systems was that they always keep the previous configuration around so it can switch back. The logic is something like this: 1. At startup, load the last known good config. 2. When signaled, load the ne

Goto can be used safely but that’s really just arguing that “harmful” should instead be something like “risky”. If you have robust flow analysis and testing, you can certainly find advantages but it’s kind of like seeing someone doing mount
