Not to derail, but rather share: I have worked on a healthcare solution which did just that, every medical record had a guid, and by itself it didn't carry a direct relation to a patient; it was done via an additional table. This was d

That is an interesting point - a photo by itself is personally identifiable information[1] - so you should blur/distort/remove that particular face - or, to stay on the safe side - all faces, just like google maps does to be GDPR

Okay, this approach is really cool, but... just hear me out: what if... you don't store personally identifiable data in the event store? What if you only store references/ids that point to services which can resolve those ids to d

What is an educated person? How do you measure education? Why do you think universities should have a monopoly of higher education?

Ask the people arrested and jailed for posession of cannabis. I mean, both you and the parent comment are right: we, the people, shall resist; but we, the people, must also do our best to prevent such legislation come to pass.

The only way to transmit credentials, I believe, unfortunately, is via out-of-band communication, e.g. sms/IM/phone/face-to-face. Not exactly convenient, but if you need the message to stay secure from human adversary, it is

Email. Self-hosted. When email is sent, you check mx records of recipient, and if it is gmail, replace contents with unique link (with one-time username/password) to your self-hosted http(s) server, on which your actual message resides

Well, it's not that you're not right, but rather that you're going on a tangent and to extremes. It's also hard to be happy if you have a drug problem (alcoholism for example) or live in a place where making a living is

"Upward" and "downward" are concepts existing in your head. I don't have a million bucks, but i've written a book. Nobody is successful by all and every definition of success. What I, personally, wish for my ch

What if simple success would do? I think that delivering an high quality end result within budget and scheduke is much, much more important than being übercompetent 10x developer who only works alone.

We're all impostors, so what? I sometimes feel that this basic insecurity in IT really creates strife and abrasiveness between people instead of mutual respect. I find it better to embrace your own imperfections and in this way find yo

As the name (*mycin) (and purpose!) suggests, that's not an antibiotic, but rather antimycotic (anti-fungal) substance: antibiotics target microorganisms (i.e. bacteria), while antimycotics target fungi, a completely different _kingdom

Oh how many fun things have been skipped! For example, errors in message header are a nibble. There is compression of sorts, and labels referenced by an offset. There is an unique notation of emails in the SOA records; and some domains and

It seems that there has been a networking issue, rather than software issue. So blaming code(rs) here is like blaming manufacturers of TV that doesn't work for you because you have no electricity.

A lot of processing is done "on the road", starting from ganglia in the retina itself; so a direct comparison with 4k 60fps video is grossly incorrect.

You know what's funny? That it already is as you describe - due to environmental reasons. Better food. Better rearing. Better access to developmental aids. And all this without any needless expensive gene editing.

Just a tiny nitpick. It's per se, latin for "by itself", not per say. Just like should have is not should of.

The problem i would see with centralization of routing is not reliability, but rather susceptibility to censorship; as the old saying goes "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" - while one could argue that

Sure, earning money is nice, but consider this: you are just throwing 30-50% of your income away. When increase of 100% means 200% more effort, because you're throwing away 50%, you really start considering if the effort's worth i

You could use something like jq for parsing JSON. And while I agree with you regarding some of your points, they could be easily refuted by pointing fingers at other things: yes, string escaping can give a grown man nightmares, but hey, it&

Bash is not bad at all; it's unrestrained and arcane at times, agreed, but it does have the nature of a true programming language, just like powershell does. Now .bat scripts, that's truly inelegant and unsafe.

Just to play the devils' advocate, I do think that the attitude of "never use AV products" could work in corporate environment, provided the administrators are competent and draconian enough to counter-weight the absolute inc
