Thank you for this. Can you explain why it’s a red flag to you? Are you distinguishing between a local API versus one accessible via the internet? Problem diagnosis is a great point, thank you.

This is a neat idea, thank you!

These are great suggestions, thank you. I would love to have some "advanced" settings in our customer portal where customers can request a static IPv4. And I would love for us to provide IPv6 as well.

Is it worth considering whether increased/extended unemployment benefits are a factor in the employee shortage? The article mentions employees on "furlough" who are "biding their time". I'm not from the UK, but

The most effective response I have personally found to "I have nothing to hide" is: It's not about you. It's about people who do have things to hide. Journalists and their sources, whistleblowers, dissidents, lawyers and

It's worth mentioning that ads can also be delivered without tracking and oodles of Javascript. Sell ad placements that are images, even GIFs.

The movie Her [0] is a great exploration of this. Not sure it will make you feel less sad, though. [0] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798709/

If you want more ISP competition where you live, I suggest getting active in your town government. A while ago, I called up the town hall of the suburb where I grew up, and asked for a copy of their contract with Comcast. It technically doe

I was also really confused by this comment until I re-read it later. At first I thought OP meant “we wrote out container runtime in Brainfuck,” but what I think they meant was “we first deployed Brainfuck support in order to test our new ru

I think you’re right but that doesn’t mean the questioner is naive or inexperienced. It’s a legitimate question with lots of potential interesting answers.

I'm curious, are there any apps out there that you don't have to host yourself that you do consider to be end-to-end encrypted?

Worth looking up John Mack. He was a psychologist and Harvard professor who researched stories of alien abductions and tried to make sense of them from a psychological point of view. To the best of my understanding (do your own research), h

Not sure where your source comes from, but the term came into popular use in the year 1947. It was most likely first used after Kenneth Arnold's famous report where he described a "saucer-like" shape. That story blew up, and

I take the meaning to be "unidentified to the general public, perhaps identified or speculated about in classified reports that have not yet been shared with Congress".

I hear what you're saying and I appreciate your answer to the question I asked. But I still can't see it that way. I worked in PHP5 for many years. The "survivability" thing didn't make anything cheaper, quicker, or

These "stop making fun of PHP" articles are all the same. They are full of strawman arguments like "PHP is not actually slow!". Nobody is complaining about it being slow. What about the fact that using an undefined varia

As a concrete example, not too long ago I saw an engineer spend a few days trying to use a React plugin for some UI thing. Another engineer eventually took it over and implemented the same UI thing from scratch, in about 50 lines of CSS and

Came here to mention HTDP. Here's an anecdote. I have two friends who decided to take advantage of some COVID downtime to learn to code. I suggested they start by doing some HTDP, and they did. Now one is doing a bootcamp and the other

It’s hard for me to relate, because I just don’t see “edit; reload” as being that important. I think the difference is I write tests. I usually code everything while writing/running tests. Then it always works the first time I run it,

So the entire argument is that PHP is single threaded and each request starts with no state? Am I missing anything else? I’m trying so hard not to rant here, so I just wanted to confirm that those are the only positives he outlines about th

I think this is a wonderful idea, but you’re right that maybe it could be rephrased. How about a concise, straight-to-the-point bug report followed by this at the end: > Thanks so much for this great project! I hope you don’t think I’m c

People tend to feel attacked when you argue that they do, in fact, have something to hide. Even when you come from the perspective that everyone has something to hide, mostly small things. I've had the best success with the argument I

That’s the best part. Remind them that it’s not about you . It’s about whistleblowers and journalists who need to protect their sources, and lawyers who need to communicate with their clients. That tends to bring the ego down a peg ;) But

If you want to convince your friends they should support encryption, here's how I like to get past the "nothing to hide" argument. Imagine we're sitting at a bar, chatting. None of us have anything to hide. Then the gove
