My claim is, that the market is encouraging segregation less than society. Jobs force people to work together. If nobody forces them, they often just don't work together, and stay in their bubble.

In my experience its really hard to find something that connects people of different age groups in a meaningful way, that doesn't involve a workplace-like setting. Older and younger people often just don't compromise enough from a

If the obscurity it is only an additional layer on top of a secure system, it is called "defense in depth". It's a simple probability calculation. If some automated scanning tools can't find your service, a lot of attack

Is it also possible to read the e-marker on non-Apple devices? Linux or windows? This would be so useful...

It's also the API design of many IaaS/SaaS providers. It's often extremely hard to limit tokens to the right scope, if even possible. Most access tokens should not allow deleting backups. Or if they do, those backups should s

My email server is permanently flagged as spam in SNDS. No way to unblock it. I've tried everything. Its not sending any marketing or automated emails. Microsoft just wants you to use O365 and happily blocks a lot of smaller email send

It doesn't work. I have the laptop next to my screen and an external keyboard. The cat always chooses the cold external keyboard instead of the warm laptop, because that's the center of my attention.
