I don't get it. When would u need a backup ssh key other than if a user lost access? Most VMs have console access for this purpose.

There's a lot missing from here but a pretty nice site. - Java applets - metacrawlers - IE conditional stylesheets As a side note, I've never understood "tag clouds". They're definitely not "dark ages" bec

Pretty neat. I didn't know that the app store now allows stuff like this. I thought they had banned programming interfaces.

I'm no expert here but it seems like porting a duck-typed languages like python to webassembly is hard feat. Arbitrary evaluation of source code at runtime, seems to me, exactly like the type of thing webassembly wants prevent. This li

It's because American companies weed out American biases (sex, gender, race) in management. When it comes to foreign-born employees with their own biases HR is silent because there are no rules. I think that a better job needs to done

Not your not wrong. The statistics show that the mortality rate is low unless your 65+. It's much higher than the flu, but less than say SARS was back in 2005. However, this isn't the real problem. Unlike most illnesses this one h

I like the way the ancient greeks did it. Every year we write a name of the person that we want removed from public office. The person with the most votes gets banished for 10 years.

Love it. I hate it when I'm presented with a "sign in with Google". I feel pressured to have a Gmail account or a Facebook account (which I honestly don't want). I get the fact that login is broken across the web and th

Back when js frameworks became a thing, modals were a shiny ball that everyone wanted to put into their app (because they came with the framework). Designers that worked with these modals became poisoned to the fact that this is how a UI sh

What's interesting to me after reading a bunch of the threads here is that consumers are constantly re-evaluating your product. Mac became popular, not because of hackers, but because it was a great platform for doing graphic design an

I'd say that unlike a 'normal' war between countries this was a civil war. This was a brother vs. brother, father vs. son battle. Over 600,000 people died in what was pretty gruesome conditions (lead bullets, the first gattli

Commercial logging doesn't protect the environment and it's likely even worse than digging up coal and burning it. In the end some politician somewhere is running for re-election and I'm sure this is great press. However, it&

It's the perennial thorn in the side of big tech companies. If you want to do business in China, you have to abide by the rules (as you would in any country). However, in China this means that you have to engage in political censorship

I think having potentially foreign-owned interests coming into the US to buy up land for commercial logging in order to feed non-coal burning plants is not a net positive.
