Also, if you can use some other technology and then only pour 2000$ worth of your time into it, but have to spend 100$ more to host it, you're still winning. It's easy to shut something down and stop "losing" money, much

Producing art with a computer does not go against what has been previously done? You can't even recognize "genius", which this is. It directly challenges the definition of "art", which is pretty wonderful.

What I find more saddening is the trend to view any behaviour that could potentially be exploited as a vulnerability, regardless of how useful it could be, which just leads to locked-down user-hostile systems where nothing is possible with

I sell an application built around VoIP. I dislike running my own servers, so just lately I moved them to AWS. At first, I used instances that were not very performant, causing some problems. I quickly moved to more powerful instances and s

This. People (especially drunks) don't like confrontation. Just make them feel uncomfortable and they'll want to get away from you, not the other way around. Shining a flashlight on them is freaking hilarious.

I'd expect the interviewer to explain the rules beforehand, probably even show the game quickly. That way everyone starts off with the same amount of knowledge about the game and then it's all about programming.

If you go with the notion of "I don't need to prove myself, I'm good enough - look at what I've made", then this is exactly how it should be. Otherwise you're still proving yourself and providing 2 weeks of you

How does that matter in any way? This was a series of fuck-ups. Facebook wouldn't pay $1M to anyone, ever, since it would encourage this kind of behaviour. It was the "zero-dollar bug that lead to the million-dollar fuck-up"

I wouldn't do that (I'd be scared to death about what would happen, even without reading this article). But I also don't find it an unreasonable move. Just make it clear - you dump data, we're going to sue you. Right now

I'd agree, but technically speaking, the bug is not fixed if credentials don't get reissued. Someone might already have access to them. Also, you can't just expect that "oh, just delete your data pls" will work,

I agree. If there's no clear rule "all data stays in our network", dumping data is not an unreasonable move. I don't care whether some experts in their offices mull about what's alright to do in a pentest or when fi

Instead of flashing an LED, the socks could warm up. That way, if the socks start getting warm and you're still awake, you can react to that, but if you're asleep, your feetsies will be nice and warm. But this would be hard as a D

Narrow AI, yes. If it simulates a human action and adapts to the environment to a small degree (e.g can recognize a screw bolt and pick it up even if it is in a different location every time), it's a narrow AI.

Swedbank also requires two-factor authentication. You can bypasss this by calling them - they only ask for 1 thing to authenticate you. Two-factor authentication is rather useless if you can just bypass it like that.

1200-1300 is about the rating where players stop making blunders to such a grand scale. Also, at that rating, blunders start to get punished much more heavily. Before 1200, it really is all about learning to stop blundering. At GM level tho

Or sell yourself to the manager. "This is what I did (proof that you're valuable) - if you assign me to this new thing (and pay me more, since it's harder), I'm going to create 2x the value that I'm creating right n

I'd like to see you lead a whole nation to believe your batshit crazy ideas. It takes a little bit of genius to do that.

I've had a problem with sleep for about 2 years. My mind is always racing and "doing work" even during the night and I end up being conscious (but "asleep") for a good part of the night. I've kind of trained my

It was 65k from both of his games combined though. You have to also consider that his games have been featured on the app store multiple times - and he's not even making that much. It's a risky path, but it can pay off if you work

I think it's good to have the car not roll perfectly straight, but a little bit to one side. If it rolls too straight, it's going to bump from one side to the other and lose much more energy.

I believe so as well. They've switched focus and are going in the right direction now. A few years ago I actually advised everyone to not use Microsoft's products. Every single product was subpar (Windows, Windows Phone, their lap

Definitely worth a listen/watch. Just goes to show how seriously Microsoft is taking the quality of their products.

They just have to claim it's test data. If they didn't, this could blow up really bad - the regular user would be convinced that the bank messed up. In this scenario, it can be played off as a "test to improve security"

Exact same experience. Development is easy and frustration-free. The team listens to the community AND delivers. The platform is not just for playing around anymore, it has matured really well. See the case studies[1] - I, for example, love

The problem is that localStorage never gets cleared on its own. So you could have a situation where a hint persists from the last user using the computer (or last session in general), effectively sabotaging the current user's answer(s)

The longest I've been awake is 40h I think. I started hearing and seeing things at the 39th hour and that's when I decided to go to sleep. I've got no clue how people stay awake for more than 48h; just last week I fell asleep

I know YouTubers who couldn't live without Patreon. It's their only source of income. To make a living from YT you have to have a pretty huge number of viewers. Fortunately, their viewers are hard-core fans and ~0.5% - 1.0% of the

I do play. No, I don't think chess skills translate into anything - the only "real" skill I've learned is how to practice efficiently. It's a fun game and I play it for what it is.
