Is there an easy way to set up wide protect for an entire area code properly? The last time I tried it, it just kept freezing my phone and timing out instead of finishing all the lists.

I’m just grateful this decision didn’t come out 4 months ago. It would’ve gone the way of 2020, somehow.

I love this as a post-processor for log-files. We actually have something like this at work. Unfortunately, it's applied to log-files by default. It's terrible: it breaks grep, and I haven't been able to figure a way aroun

Not just vaccines, but basically all your data, including billing and disease history. Perfect for both scamming and extortion. Keep in mind that you actually want your medical provider to have that data, so they can treat you with respec

Probably, but is that a conspiracy theory so much as an insurance policy? Being able to competently complete that sort of nightmare investigation is probably why the investigator was re-hired annually. A packet capture of the config files w

If you’re going to handle errors like Go: > Go and Rust provide two alternate approaches to error handling. Both treat errors as values, but Go uses multiple return values to return error states, while Rust uses a Result monad. Then they

It’s encouraged by the US postal system, as spam mail is one of the most reliable income sources (which is necessary given how Republicans are trying to kill the public postal system). This has led to the postal system taking legal action a

Going back to the example I was thinking of, it's pretty easy to identify that climate-denying research is funded largely by right-wing organizations seeking to manipulate the public to produce a particular outcome, instead of seeking

> what's the proposal there? That's what Google was afraid of: the alternative is to decide that the cost of the model isn't worth the effort (externalities < benefit) and to abandon it. Which might be the correct deci

It doesn’t work that way. That’s how it should work, but that’s not how it does work. It only proxies your request, hiding your IP, not hiding the fact that the email was opened at all. https://blog.filippo.io/how-the-new-g

Good on them for actually tracking this feature request for over a decade and not just closing it after three weeks for “lack of interest.” Looking at you, every random GitHub project ever.
