I feel the same way about logicals. For those unfamiliar, the OS had a distributed hierarchical key-value store like etcd or zookeeper built in, years earlier than these technologies.

Some people use 2FA because the service they're accessing requires it. Some people use 2FA for work accounts because their employer requires it. Using 2FA doesn't necessarily indicate savvy on the part of the user.

BallisticNG has tried really hard to get the look and feel of the PSX Wiepout games, including an optional PSX shader that adds vertex wobble. https://neognosis.games/ballisticng/

Can you please give more detail about what model this was and how the upgrade worked? Did you give it an internet connection? Did it find open wifi on its own? Did it use a cellular antenna? I'm curious as an owner of a Vizio TV that I

What's interesting about that is that John Gruber uses footnotes extensively in his own blog posts (and has since approximately 2005), but chooses to implement them with HTML snippets rather than having created a dedicated Markdown syn

You're best off with something that isn't conductive to avoid shorting any of the pins. I'd stay away from paper clips. Toothpicks also work well.

This is a pretty standard policy at larger companies. Part of the reason is that even if everything in the emails is 100% legally fine, discovery is _expensive_ and gets more expensive the more emails exist. This explanation was given to me

The value proposition of a tax accountant is not usually crunching numbers. It's instead helping you find the optimal choices to make when filing, helping you model your situation in terms of tax code, and giving you advice about how t

I agree that collaborative text editing between multiple users simultaneously is hard. That doesn't mean that Git couldn't have a much better UI for this problem than it does. And while I agree that Git seems to have mostly won ov

Does the script element injected as a DOM node from an extension or a content script end up having a different CSP than a script element that loaded with the page or was injected by a script on the page?

Thank you, this is fantastic advice that just worked for me to be able to redownload an old app with a new signature without losing its data.

Awesome! I'll look out for these numbers. Do you need more data? If so, what's the best way for me to add to it? Would that be installing Nightly, setting fission.autostart to true, and enabling some telemetry?

This is fantastic work that will greatly improve the security of Firefox; big thanks to those who have worked on it. Is there data on what effect it will have on memory use? One of the primary reasons I use Firefox is that it uses significa

Think about it this way. Let’s say you’re a company with 500 engineers. Heroku is still a fantastic abstraction to provide to product teams, but the economics may make sense to have a 5-person team owning and maintaining that infrastructure

Plenty of Bluetooth adapters are designed for a specific headphone model and sit flush against the cup without additional wires. When they're attached, it's easy to forget that they're not built in. See https://the

In the US, wire transfers can incur fees for both sender and recipient. ACH is more often used by medium to large businesses transferring money from or to consumers, but the ergonomics are pretty bad for one-off person to person transfers,
