KeepassXC has an xkcd-style[0] generator where the password will just be e.g. "correct horse battery staple". I usually use these for mobile apps, although I don't try to actually remember them, so not sure how easy it is. [0

There is some "eco-friendly" spray that can incite the bees to clean themselves. It is not as effective as other methods against Varroa. You probably want the adult bees to clean the pupae as well somehow, the biggest problem is w

Twitch has in general dropped the ball by not trying to make streams more interactive. I think we should be past the stage where we are using just "dumb" clients.

I think in this case the argument actually applies. There is no action on the user's part that signifies bad intent. Maybe if they downloaded too many of the files, but otherwise I wouldn't expect the accusation to stick.

Not sure what you are even exactly complaining about. Is it the UI? I agree that most podcast players just lack features. They're built for "dummies": you can subscribe and click play, that's mostly it. I'm a power-

They are caching a chunk of the web and routing traffic from google.com to their cache. Since traffic never leaves google.com, it is now in a way the web itself. This is achieved thanks to AMP.

I went to a warranty provider of a well-known tech company, was turned down, then sent an e-mail to the "global warranty support" or whatever. Some Russian basically told me to go fuck myself. It was kind of funny (the response fi

Maybe it won't be an issue. However, it does go against regular advice of being explicit over magical. Depending on call order is something that immediately pops out as fishy. As always, programming is about trade-offs and the React te

Thanks. If I post a video of my game on Reddit, am I marketing to children? There are a lot of children there, but it isn't a childrens' website. Does it matter if my game is strategy-/turn-based or animated with cute graphic

What even qualifies as "marketing to children"? Can I not set up a tabloid with a lollipop on it?

Is it illegal to market toys to kids? A kid can walk into a store and buy as much candy as they want. The problem is that usually they don't have a credit card in their hands.

I absolutely love programming and I enjoy my job, but after spending 1/3 of my day on work, I am really not in the mood to do even more work. As for 2018, I wrote a backup script. It works really well.

Of course there isn't much benefit to using React/Angular/Whatever (and other tools in those ecosystems) if your site is mostly a static thing and maybe only needs some interactive content here and there. If you have a statef

There is no way for you to verify whether the caller's phone number is actually the real source. Anyone can impersonate anyone. It's like the source address in an IP packet. You can put whatever you want in there. This is mostly a

Maybe an option would be to have a setting to automatically hide "flame wars" if the user does not wish to see those? We already have the manual "hide", but this would hide some posts automatically. I do agree that this

For me it's gradual. 0 -> 15 minutes, I'm in what I'd call "conscious reading" mode. 15 -> 45 minutes, I start to see the world in front of me, but I'm still consciously reading. After 45 minutes, I compl

I wouldn't say mind-numbingly slow, but it does struggle sometimes. The Android app is a bit poor as well in my opinion - gets the job done, but I've seen better ones by competitors. Despite those issues, I have fully switched ove
