Spotify once had a very similar issue which actually allowed hijacking of other accounts. https://engineering.atspotify.com/2013/06/creative-usernames...

Numbers are really personal. At 60kg I found it really easy to get strong enough to deadlift even 120kg, cited as between intermediate and advanced on that table, despite in no way being an even intermediate lifter. More like novice at best

I would take a different approach than many other problems here. - Healing damaged relationships in your life. - Addressing unresolved internal traumas and fully integrating them. - Replacing addictive and avoidant behaviours and taking car

As someone (probably like many here) who graduated from a university which taught computer vision and peripheral neuroscience courses, with such titles as "Computational Neuroscience of Vision", I always felt that trying to unders

It's a classic fear vs freedom dichotomy. We are both being a little intellectually dishonest, and should perhaps frame the question a little differently. To answer your question: > would you like to live in a world where someone co

It's the realities of enforcement that concern me. If you say (as it appears you are implying though I may be wrong!) "we don't really need anonymity online, so we should enforce verifiable identity in all online and public i

I urge you to consider the downsides of celebrating the compulsion of a platform to reveal otherwise anonymous information: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/uk-online-safety-bill-...

The inability to monitor all illegal activity is a trade-off we accept as a society to maintain the right to anonymity. You'd rather we sign that right away for some supposed guarantee of safety? A guarantee made by the synthesis of yo

There are a lot of illegal things you can do without being found out, and victims have no recourse then either. Should everyone be under surveillance 100% of the time just in case?

by cnity 3y ago
This position is a slippery slope to a world where true anonymity is made illegal. Your confusion is more subtle and arguably more dangerous: that anonymity can make certain illegal actions easier does not mean that anonymity should not exi

Same with scroll acceleration. Someone honestly sat down and thought the mousewheel should work like this on Macos: 1. Turning the wheel one notch should scroll the page 1-5 pixels. 2. Turning the wheel two notches should scroll the page 10

My point is on the uncultured lowly employees who don't understand the costs of running a business: indeed, if they only knew who the most expensive employee was (by a long margin).

Ah, rules for thee but not for me. Does the CEO receive digital warnings every time they extract bonuses from the company account?

Someone should start an "illegal" printing company for printers that are so good people are willing to buy them on the black market.

I looked it up and apparently this is left unspecified[0]. So I suppose I take that back! Also yeah, I use LSPs and I myself don't have a strong grasp of the use of dynamically linked libraries. I don't mean it as a put-down of we

What I've heard (and what basically makes sense to me) is that falling back to the network layer as an abstraction is borne of web programmers trying their hand at building native applications (they do not know what dynamic linking is)

I agree. I am working on a video game and decided to use no dependencies (at all!). It has been such a joy to code.

The question of whether "the edge" takes off will come down to whether or not the culture at large will swallow the illusion at its heart. You cannot remove the concept of a region any more than you can remove the concept of &quot

This sounds delicious. I bet it combines well with sweetness too. I've found that when I do stovetop popcorn I can get sugar to caramelise around the popcorn to produce a crunchy shell. This with a little chicken hint inside would go d

Passwords tend not to be brute forced one character at a time, but by combinations of common password lists and rainbow tables. The base unit is not character in these cases but entries in the tables. Therefore, a password like "Establ

I think this is a fair criticism, however it's clear that there is a market for "polished, dev-x first, react focused cloud platforms". Just look at next.js and Remix, both of which solve problems which are already solved by

Oh, you mean "promoting over hiring" as in "encouraging over-hiring", and not "promoting employees into positions that would otherwise be new hires"?
