The author doesn't really justify why he needed to port the python script to rust in the first place. Pulling down some JSON, doing a bit of transformation and sending alerts seems like a perfect candidate for a high level language, I

Regardless of what side you are on, the interesting part is the fact that companies like CA and their subsidiaries are increasingly being used by political organisations to persuade. It's not new, but with Facebook etc and the masses o

I found the article was far longer than it needed to be and took a long time to explain what actually was going on, and seemed to take a circuitous route to its conclusion. Saying that thought I did find it very interesting, and worrying. W

This is cool. Could you add an option to either add tagging, or separate the tagged items into folders? e.g. "programming/", "docker/" etc, I often find myself digging through my Pocket archive trying to find t

I use a password manager, have done over the past 6 or so years, but definitely had poor password habits before that. There are probably a number of websites I used between 2000-2010 that I no longer access, so that's somewhat worrying

I visited the US last year for a conference (from the UK) Border Guard was very angry at me for some reason, very cold, didn't smile. Quite curt with his responses. Which was strange because he was laughing and joking with the couple b

Even outside of education, I don't think the iPad is useful for anything other than consumption. I've seen some creative types using drawing applications on it, which is cool I guess, but for the most part I don't see it repl

One of the reasons might be due to price, physical books are exempt from VAT in the UK, whereas ebooks are not, so ebooks tend to be either the same price as their paper counterparts, or more expensive. I read mostly on my kindle out of con

A helpful list, but some (e.g. Bitly) haven't posted an article for more than 2 years. Could be useful for archived content though I guess.

Two questions spring to mind that are not immediately obvious from the website - how do they get access to your messages in different accounts? Are they using some API? Or do they ask you for your username/password for each service and

Tower of Babylon was superb, I read it with the other short stories (can't remember the name of the collection) a month or so ago. Wasn't so sure about the rest of them though, I felt the Babylon story kind of eclipsed all of them

How is that any better though? The receipt checking probably takes just as long as scanning the items through the till. Unless they just take a cursory glance and just say "well whatever you're probably trustworthy"

Too many fakes and risk of merchants tipping you off to the police I guess. If you become known as the guy who keeps giving dud coins, you're probably going to raise some suspicions. Probably easier to disperse the coins and hopefully

My concern with relying on things like these for testing is they're not supported by AWS, so behaviours can easily diverge without you realising. I think we've got a lot of mileage in the past out of just mocking request/resp

I wonder if there is study into biases around cultural interests too, e.g. if a male applies for a leadership position and lists "dance" as his primary hobby or interest, whether implicit cultural biases or assumptions play a role
