That's a hugely beneficial change! I too have avoided extensions because of the essentially complete trust required to accept that some code is good and will not be hijacked in the future. Now when will Firefox implement the same idea?

To beelzebub the devil...how many large scale hacks/data leaks/embarrassment from large companies are because of a misconfigured S3 bucket?

That is unbelievable. I am already furious when I am stuck sitting on the tarmac pre/post flight "do nothing". Cannot imagine how angry I would be if I was at work but not getting paid for it.

If you rotate your monitor, is that circumventing the DRM?

The original blue-green deployment strategy. I have done a similar thing as well.

From the safety of my armchair, it feels reasonable to go to a known landmark? It is a lot easier for search and rescue to find a crashed plane that a guy wandering on the ground. Additionally, the plane might contain salvageable food, wate

Even if you had been given 60 seconds warning, what kind of mitigation can you do for a magnitude 2,4,6? Is there anything to be done if you are walking on the street/in a car/in a N floor building? I do not live in an earthquake

That is still more movement for when I am hacking out a feature. When I am trying to figure out an idea, I am liberally creating new variables and adding imports without care. In other languages, I can freely comment in/out large swath

In a world where car ownership is limited, I can imagine that the car interiors would be changed drastically. Something like a subway car with hard plastic seats and easily sanitized surfaces.

The Moonlander is also missing F-keys? People can swear up and down how intuitive and natural layers are, but I do not care. If there is ever a decision to be made between more and fewer keys, I always want to default to more.

by db65edfc7996 5y ago
Sadly, no dedicated F-row. I would even settle for a subset of keys that aligned with the columns. I do not consider layers an adequate replacement. Happy to see they are moving away from their own software configuration. Not a fan of the s

It came out ~27 years ago. If you are actively reading a thread about old media, I think you have to expect that the audience will be dominated by fans who have already consumed the entire canon of the show.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean to self-insure? Does that just mean you have enough money on hand to cover the losses if it happens?

Say a tank survives for XXX years before corrosion demands the entire thing needs to be scrapped. Wouldn't that still be an economically attractive option for storing surplus solar energy during the day? Or is the daily upkeep of the i
