Well, the current US administration is all against the environmental protection, so I expect the article advice might change in the nearest hears.

Well, unless it's the app that makes the call. But AFAIK both Android and iOS disabled all call apps except for their own. Previously they allowed as long as the keypad looked "distinctively different from the default call app&quo

Interesting, didn't know about farmers. Skydivers are the same, most accidents happen to experienced ones. But it's understandable, as adrenaline wears out with experience. Pilots typically are trained against that complacency, pl

Yep, that would work. I just noted that current GitHub green checkmark doesn't really guarantee anything for the DirectFile repo.

Yep, and how my instructor said, what's worse is that the sky can let you enjoy being careless 100 times and then punish.

But how do you verify? Let's say you see a green checkmark on GitHub that confirms the commit was really made by GitHub user @totally_legit_government_absolutely_not_hacker. Unless you already have their public GPG key in your private

Yes, although it's not always ideal too. E.g. for personal business you're required to conduct all transactions through a dedicated business bank account. But it's easily avoidable by using a different account, and there are

Kinda. Since it's Public Domain, there's little to no use in signing the code, because they explicitly forfeited any rights to it. Public Domain means you can legally take their code, riddle it with malware, and distribute, claimi

I haven't seen any evidence on "government already has info". It might get all the info if they send a taxpayer into audit. But there's no indication it really knows without audits.

In other words, think of Copyright. A Copyright holder can apply any license they like, and change the licenses for new versions whenever they like. Public Domain is explicit forfeiting the Copyright, which means authors cannot enforce any

My eyeballs bleed, and I'm pretty comfortable with Java for many years. I see the most of it stems from reactive-style programming (reactor.core.publisher.Mono). Maybe they just tried to fit into one screen? Anyway I'd ask to simp

Yes, but there's no universal law that Life must persist. It's totally possible that Life just dies. Like due to increased solar heat or a random comet. Dinosaurs (and other saurs) wandered Earth for hundreds of millions of years,

Yea, although true timescales are at least 10x shorter. In 500m years Earth oceans will boil out completely, talk about global warming. Humans will die way sooner, though.

Literal enemies don't need an invitation. Ukraine was able to smuggle several literal trucks loaded with weapons, deep into literal enemy territory, and put them near airbases where cruise missiles were launched from.

With a proper IDE you don't type much even in Java/.Net, it's all autocomplete anyway. "Too verbose" complaints are mostly from Notepad lovers, and those who never needed to read somebody else's code.

Today there's no way to disable it, I searched through my Firefox Mobile settings. So I'd say it's for very "power" users. And why enable it by default, why not disable by default? Also, sibling comments say iOS is

Let it show "Use WebRTC?". If users don't understand, they click whatever. If the website really needs it to operate, it will explain why before requesting, just like apps do now. Always aim for a little more knowledgeable us

Just buzzing someone's home by flying low (no speakers) is already pretty strong violation, can be criminal (harassing, stalking) per FAA. It's not new, been there since planes became popular.

by deepsun 1y ago
Yes, FAA is federal, so the municipal councils would figure that out. My point is that there's a working democratic process for solving problems like that, besides internet frustration. E.g. buzzing someone's home on an airplane i

Discuss it with your city/county council. If it annoys enough people, you might introduce regulations, aka making agreement with the drone operators.

Noise abatement restrictions are very real near airports. It's solved through normal democratic process, I mean discuss with your city/country council, introduce regulations. Not by shooting an aircraft.

The article dogmatically assumes that you need to do it at all. No explanation of why. "If you don't have to write, don't write."

My experience also shown that Python, being considered "simple", is actually harder for students to learn. Things I took as obvious are not for first time coders: Ok, so spaces and indentation matter. How many spaces exactly there

I believe the current US of A administration considers them friendly. All dictatorships except China are "friendly" now.

The more a format restricts, the more useful it is. E.g. if a format allows pretty much anything and it's up to parsers to accept or reject it, we may as well say "any text file" (or even "any data file") -- it woul

Yup, imagine if HTML was JSON-like, not XML-like.

PHP (at least old versions I worked with) treats "65537" and 65537 similarly.

by deepsun 1y ago
Some parsers, like PHP, may treat 65537 and "65537" the same. Room for vulnerability.

As a SWE working in Information Security team now, I'm confident that InfoSec team should belong to Accounting department, just by the nature of our tasks. And it makes sense. Btw, compliance auditors are required to be CPAs.
