Most online merchants redirect me to my bank's web page when I enter my Visa credit card number. In theory it should be possible to have a card number that by itself is useless and always requires an external confirmation?

Removing code paths that the programmer has explicitly laid out in the source code should be made a hard compile error unless the operation has been tagged with an attribute (anyone who wants to add the unsafe keyword to C? ). Another comme

Without AI, both writing and reading code are bottlenecks. How many times have you reviewed your old code and been appalled at the terrible quality? You personally created slop; it's no different from GenAI output except that a human h

Those ATtiny85 boards that plug directly into a USB port are great if you need 1 to 5 GPIOs and/or a HID interface. At 2 dollars apiece or so it's worth having a few around.

When my mom remarried, her new husband started to manipulate her and isolate her from other relatives, trying to turn everyone against each other. The last time I met her, I was basically talking to two copies of him. I've already deal

The author argues that writing code cannot be a bottleneck because work always fills up the allotted time. Developer teams should instead focus on doing less and writing better specifications. The error in the reasoning is that while you ca

That site itself violates at least "similarity", "proximity" and "common region" as everything is sorted in one alphabetical list.

We were on self-hosted Gitlab but after a merger were forced to Github. Navigation feels painful in comparison and basic features such as commit graph are now behind more expensive tiers.

Biometrics are "what you are", not "what you know" or "what you have". Voice fingeprinting is essentially useless because it is easily recorded and reproduced.

Is there an alternative to archive.(is|ph|whatever)? The Kremlin sympathizer admin is still blocking my country at both DNS and Cloudflare level.

We should also also embrace offline mode more. Disable all network connections until you make a conscious choice to go online. Heck, make a Windows 3.1-esque GUI for it and call it Trombone Winsock just for fun. If any program complains it

A very real use case I can see would be Palestine supporters defacing Israeli product labels here (don't shoot the messenger, please).

Nah. Our CEO just fires everyone who asks for a raise because they're a liability now. FWIW, this is in a country that supposedly has really strong unions and worker protections.

Depends on the degrees of separation between you and the draft author. I guess we both agree that both humor and sarcasm are difficult to convey on the internet and LLMs do not make the job any easier :-)

Wasn't the whole waterfall model originally a caricature to higlight all the issues one will inevitably encounter if they eliminate feedback loops and go with a strictly sequential development paradigm?

And when your or someone else's infra down to such a degree that you need SSH access, you do not want to depend on being able to touch that machine first. The same is true with custom AuthorizedKeysCommands that phone home.

While I absolutely despise what Israel is doing in Lebanon and Iran, it's hard to blame anyone but Hamas for the Gaza casualties. If you have no more free territory to fight on, you have lost. Give up.
