I have a 1m Thunderbolt 4 cable, 2m are also pretty common at this point. Not exactly cheap for a cable that length, and the thunderbolt devices are also expensive. When I was building out my desktop setup the rule of thumb basically becam

Not saying it's the be all end all of connectors but it's also used on all their mac accessories at this point. I have a single lightning cable at my desk that charges keyboard, trackpad, airpods and phone. Only thing it doesn&#

FWIW oath-toolkit is available via homebrew on mac: brew install oath-toolkit Copy the key to your clipboard and then: oathtool -b --totp $(pbpaste) | pbcopy This keeps keys out of your history and copies the token into the clipboard.

It's badly executed on purpose. Businesses are incentivized to have you click "accept all" so the strategy seems to be mostly just fatiguing users into doing that. I'm not going to go set cookie preferences on every sin

If the client/reader can easily decode it then a motivated cheater/attacker can easily decode it. Something like homomorphic encryption or a trusted enclave on the client could work here but unless there's money involved that

I have the Samsung one and it's complete shit. Misidentifies everything and has no clue what's in there or how much of it.

The issue with this approach seems to be that hiring is fundamentally broken - hiring managers haven't really found a process with a high correlation of "good interview performance" = "good worker". I've perso

Absolutely. People are going to do what they want to do. When you ban something that's the end of your regulation on it. So it goes underground and becomes less safe for everybody that's involved with it. When you legalize it yo

Probably more to do with trying to promote Disney+ to juice growth numbers there, coupled with COVID still keeping a lid on theatrical box office revenue. I wouldn't take it as a commentary on Disney's perceived quality of the mo

The US is insanely litigious and most large companies are very aware of the cost of unlawful termination litigation. That means to actually fire somebody you need cause, and that means having an airtight paper trail which takes time to gen

The "identifier" is often something that's computed later or returned from the API. Think about something like an ec2 instance - the identifier is the instance ID that's returned from AWS. You can have many instances t

by devonbleak 5y ago
This doesn't make sense to me. You need to know the logical identifier in order to explicitly link the code with the resource. Otherwise if I change the code for that resource how does TF know what it needs to change if none of the e

WAY more reliable than count which would do screwy things like rename a bunch of stuff and delete the last item if you removed an item from the middle of a list. Complex architectures and reusable module encapsulation require a bit more com

Yeah the "follow the money" line from the FBI felt like a red herring. Yes you can follow the money through the addresses but it's not like they include routing numbers to tell you which bank manager to go convince to cooper

Money laundering is also illegal and it's still prolific. Buying weed is also illegal and it's still prolific. Banning things like this just turns them into another laundering opportunity - where there's money to be made ther

You're talking a rounding error on the number of people that don't carry cash simply because it's not convenient to obtain and deal with it.

by devonbleak 5y ago
I'd argue that's a small part of the reason. Like a rounding error vs the inconvenience factor of dealing with stuff like coins, having to go to a physical location during restrictive hours/days to obtain more than a trivial

If everybody's only there once every week or two you're looking at something like 10-20% attendance on any given day. Some teams or individuals might coordinate being on-site the same day but so far our experience is that you basi

Yeah I had this thought after posting my previous comment. I have cable and DSL now in the suburbs of Los Angeles because the cable is so flakey - switching to Starlink may be a good alternative to the maxed out 75Mbps DSL line as a backup

They were dabbling a bit with Project Loon and Google Fiber. A Starlink partnership gives them more reach with less capital. Not sure I would see enough value from shaving a few ms off an already long round trip to space and back to really

I'm pretty sure you just described the value prop for CloudFoundry. Seriously though you're talking about another abstraction layer on top of whatever cloud provider(s) you're using. And the issue with such abstraction layer

It's not conflicting. New evidence changes science-based understanding and decisions. This is at the core of how science works. It's impossible to know everything about everything immediately so you make the best decisions you

I think it's safe to assume if you're missing anything from the base of Maslow's hierarchy then those things are probably included in what you immediately need, let alone what you want.

Not with that attitude it's not. It's not that they can't afford it - it's that they're unwilling to actually leverage the wealth of their country to do it. I seriously don't understand the thinking that resou

Yeah JSON/YAML is (mostly) great for data that needs to be parseable by machines and humans but trying to make a language out of it is horrible. Raw HCL2/Terraform is marginally better IMO with being able to pass around more compl

My biggest annoyance lately is having to go set my cookie preferences on every. single. site. If only there was some sort of browser standard that I could set in the preferences there and sites would just obey it....

It's just a 51% attack with extra steps. PoW requires that you do the work. Making a big long fake chain with higher difficulty than the existing chain requires expending even more resources than the existing network. Not to mention

Bitcoin supply is fixed. In-game currency gets created with a database query. And they're not giving everybody billions. They're forgoing some fraction of $.07B that represents the revenue they would have otherwise captured. My
