Backwards compatibility over security, reminds me of a certain, popular OS. They could enforce it for all applications signed after a certain date and/or mark the unsafe method as deprecated. This would still not prevent downgrade atta

The trick is to have two kitchens. One for actual use (maybe even by staff) the other for representative purposes or for light use once per month ;-) This tongue-in-cheek comment is inspired by relatives who actually have two kitchens: One

I accidentally just reasoned about kettle for another comment, but removed that part again. First, TIL: Since in the US the mains voltage is 120V, kettle there have less power (or would trip the circuit protection/burn out old sockets)

At first your competing with manufacturers who save the pennies and invest in marketing/branding over reliability. And those will do anything to outcompete you (including metagaming like legal actions and smear campaigns). Because if y

When mongodb (or some similar object-like storage engine) was pretty new I played around with it by writing some HTTP API using PHP. I was frustrated about how I would mostly write code to check if the user was allowed to r/w an object

The vGPU feature can be unlocked for several Nvidia GPUs: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock I did not yet try it myself (maybe it doesn't even work anymore?), and it might not be an option for businesses.

To me this still sounds a lot like "everyone buys private helicopters before affordable flying taxis are a thing". An autonomous robot suitable for generic (or even a few select) tasks is rather complicated and/or requires no

I agree with you, GP is wrong about the "generally". We did use the isValid variant (and the odd factory once in a blue moon) at $former_job, no exceptions but a lot of other very nice things about C++ (as they became available).

How so? And under all circumstances, or only for some cases? We already have mail delivery systems, which scale pretty well AND can be augmented by bots and other technological advances. I have a hard time seeing how your claim holds beside

Yes, IIRC some aerospace companies also use simulink. It's popular with safety critical stuff. > Maybe designing models is better than writing low level code for control algorithms? If you need both the code and the model, then gene

I feel a bit bad about giving such negative feedback, but I have to chime in with the crowd: Sandy Bridge is out-dated, but it's not "very old". A dual socket 2687W system (16C/32T, 3.1GHz base, 3.8GHz turbo, octa channe

That's exactly the right solution to the issue. As it stands, any client can talk to the modem and mess up connectivity. And as it turns out, simple switches with VLAN capability aren't expensive either. The magic of VLANs then al

I like the idea, but upon pondering, I think it could be made better by imitating other dark patterns: 1. Ask for a username, only offer "OK" 2. Upon OK: Wait 2-3s while showing an ajax spinner, then add another box to the DOM, as

I simplified my other post for better readability and just realized I made a stupid mistake doing so; I replaced a public per-user salt that's to be queried during login with "normalize(username)". In the given variant it wou

No, not really. I'll give you an example that's not really secure, but should illustrate one possible method: 1. You produce an "authentication hash" X = hash(normalize(your_username) + your_password) and send X to t

Anecdata: Just a few days ago I was entering a road after checking really carefully for absence of traffic (I had a heavy trailer attached and knew I needed some more time). Visibility on the left was excellent, but on the right not so much

I believe you're wrong about your belief. As a kid I already noticed that, when looking at a watch, there is a chance that the first second takes too long. And my vision always stays sharp during movement, no blurry tails around anythi

Honestly, it depends. Essentially every German has a bank account backed debit card (not a CC!), except may the most poor (though I think there is a legal requirement for banks to offer basic accounts + debit cards for everyone). For me it&

The reverse proxy is a nice idea. Any reason not to offer a "get a TCP port redirected to you" in a similar fashion? E.g. I run a VPN server for my mobile clients (wireguard), which sometimes only have IPv4 connectivity (e.g. offi

IIRC that wasn't always the case. Maybe GP simply didn't use Windows since a long time. But you're right, and I wanted to drop the same hint. As much as I dislike the OS, I have to admit they made some improvements.

Another alternative is to install an SSH client and setup an automatic connection with your server (using a password-less key). Just forward RDP and don't let the user open a shell. I think that's possible via ForceCommand in the

Depends on the make. For my 2013 Volvo I can adjust some of the driving assistant configs (e.g. disable blind spot information) and switch the light to left-hand traffic. This won't explode the car, but might be enough control for some

These numbers puzzled me as well. As others said, that's several kW of amp power needed there. And 126dB is really a lot of sound pressure. In a forest, absent of room gain... My not-so-tiny speakers would require close to 10kW to reac
