The security researcher in the article was concerned about accidently confirming the prompt on his watch. I don't think its a matter of being "smart enough". Human error can easily creep in when dismissing 10's or 100&#x

I've had good luck with https://www.rockauto.com/ though I haven't bought anything big through them. The website is fun and nostalgic to me.

"What they mean by IO bound is actually that their system doesn’t use enough work to saturate a single core when written in Rust: if that’s the case, of course write a single threaded system." Many of the applications I write are

I like https://www.borgbackup.org/ and you can get a relatively cheap storage plan on rsync.net just for Borg ( https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html ) Retrieving backups is a little manual. Perhaps s

It's a single axis version of a system my group at NASA developed: https://roundupreads.jsc.nasa.gov/pages.ashx/787/New%20weara... The internal application was to improve mobility in space suits. We had a par

Most hardware engineering is done ahead of time without a full production style environment. This is because the cost of iterating is much too high. You can't build a bridge every time you want to try a new cable or bolt. It forces des

On the list of features: "Dedicated Audio Processing DSP and sub-system". The hardware might be there to do some good audio processing, but how it integrates with the OS is something I'm not experienced with.

I did not know this about connection limits. The multi-domain assets really bug me when I'm enabling domains one by one in NoScript. Here is an example of domains used on Amazon's website: amazon.com www.amazon.com amazon-

I second this. Hobby focused content might seem amateur but it has some advantages in my mind. Context: My biggest gripe with traditional education is lack of context for why a principle is important or useful. Not a problem when you are fo

I switched from Bose to Sony and haven't looked back. The capacitive controls on the headphones are crap but I never really use them so it's not a big issue for me. Rock solid for music and getting work done.

With what is at stake I'm ok being "difficult". At the end of the day the person running the desk just ensures that you have the minimum required for treatment. In the US, at least in larger cities, one of the signatures is o
