It's hard to keep up security. You get tired, lonely, bored, exhausted. Everyone screws up at some point, you hope that those you're hiding from don't notice. It's similar to torture training in the US Military: they tea

Just wanted to say thank you for making this point. Far too many people on this site (and in tech in general) fall into this category: https://xkcd.com/2501/ People being targeted by the NSO Group are generally very

I grew up even further north and we biked all year round without a problem. Just dress appropriately (base layers are your friend).

It gets to 0F in NYC for... maybe 4-5 days a year, tops (most years never). Same with Boston and Chicago. If it gets that cold it's big news (yes, I've lived or spent time in all three). You're talking about like, one week in

It was used for tumbling, to the tune of $450m by the North Koreans. It's not a theoretical situation.

Log in and look at the notice at the top. All free services go away in November (the day after Thanksgiving weekend none-the-less, so have fun there). Upgrade your Postgres and Redis or you're screwed.

Cool, but no Safari support?

Heroku support answered my support ticket within a few hours (so good on them) with a canned response that pointed me to the article I had already referenced to them (not so good) and some hand waving "we're working on it." H

Today I went to restore a backup from three weeks ago on a new test instance and I saw it broke. I was getting some utterly weird messages about the pgcrypto extension not being available anymore (problem since I use UUIDs as my ids). After

That's how it is in most of the US as well. Fill in the bubbles, throw it through the scanner.

Pretty bad idea to have it on a system that costs a variable amount of money and seconds to minutes of time to run every transaction as well.

All of which can be done without a blockchain, without the massive environmental damage and mostly on a free Postgres instance running on a Raspberry Pi in the corner of your bedroom. All of these are absolutely fine, they are dumb to have

Columbia's not bad. But it's 2 hours from KC or St Louis, which is a haul for an Apple Store. The airport's not bad actually, but you always are connecting through DFW or ORD, so the layover is just a thing. Flying into STL i

It's probably the build-chain that comes with Xcode that requires the installation. You can probably do it yourself, but it'll be a bigger hassle.

I'm not sure if this is satire? No, a jetpack is not an alternative for a tsunami. You'd have to: 1.) already be outside with it fueled and being worn. Tsunamis come quick if you're close enough to get seriously injured. If

Battery degradation would limit expectations. "Oh shit, I got one of those old batteries that will only get me 150 miles when I was hoping for 200 to get to my mother-in-law's for Thanksgiving" isn't going to work.

It's a disease we have a vaccine for (stockpiled even), have studied extensively for decades, causes low to no long term issues and isn't debilitating. Pretty awful as bioweapon choice.

To be honest: most women care way less than you think. Personality trumps hair 95% of the time. A good barber can make you look good even with thinning hair, fine someone you like, stick with them, and tip well.

The difference is that if you're putting more than $250k into a bank account the bank pulls you aside and discusses proper financial planning and investment. Or you're smart enough to know already what you're getting into. Th
