Wordpress has had a history of serious security vulnerabilities that gave it a bad rap for folks that have been following the industry for a long time. I think automattic has done a great job overall in improving Wordpress and you don'

I can’t imagine anything more “pure negative” than a business culture with stack racking and firing people who aren’t “keepers”. Netflix’s success is from being first to market, pure and simple, and has nothing to do with a toxic management

Again I don't get it. If a site wants to they can serve ads inline right now, without making client side requests to ad servers and ublock can't do anything about it. And first party cookies don't do any good for tracking so

You could already use random URLs to serve ads and track, not sure how a bundle changes anything

if they can't afford to pay benefits and a decent wage to their drivers then they're just an unsustainable business! glad they "disrupted" transit and made it harder to build good public transit by giving tax-shy politic

Also, lock picking often damages the lock and is a lot slower than people are giving credit here. This gets you in and out in short order

It seems like the risk on this one is pretty high, assuming the SpiKey software is available. Say you have a job where you need to be let in and out of a locked area by someone who is trusted with a key. The only thing you need now is a sma

The only thing good about los gatos is that you might see Woz riding around on a segway. That place sucks!

in the US natural gas stoves are very common. There is some risk when frying on high heat that you could start an oil fire... Never used induction but gas offers very fine control of heat with a nice stove, especially compared to electric w

I think it might have been worth abandoning unix for a different paradigm. BeOS is one way that could have gone.. Even better I wish that plan9 had been taken as the basis of an OS with the backing of a big firm like Apple and serious commi

There's a plausible story that is told here about spontaneous interactions producing new and interesting ideas, but what I don't know is if there is any actual evidence to believe this is the case. As contrasted to having regular

I don't think there's any real evidence that remote work is any worse (or better) for productivity than in person work.

the 12" macbook is my favorite laptop of all time. Mine is the 2016 version and it's starting to feel dated and I'm hoping that they rerelease this on the new silicon first. I'll be smashing the buy button the day it&#x2

what does it mean to "pay for" the continued care of the old. Unless we have such a population implosion that we can no longer produce food or run our factories, then we don't need to "pay for" anything. We can si

A "runtime" is not a virtual machine anymore than the standard c library is a virtual machine... it's clear what virtual machine means in this context: an abstraction layer between machine code and program code that translate

Even at a fancypants place like where I work, where they can definitely afford to replace your machine early and often, we have 36 month lifespans for our laptops. I'd expect "universal" amd64+aarch64 binaries to be available

docker on mac does indeed suck! but that's because you gotta run linux to run docker. Docker for dev on a linux box? Great stuff!

undoubtedly, that’s capitalism! but they may also introduce some price cuts. These would probaby increase units sold, so they could better take advantage of their increased margin.

your viewpoint might change when you're working on a large project with lots of developers and your system goes down in production because of a type mismatch the compiler could have easily let you know about long before you deployed (i
