While this is a male/female issue, I want to point out that men can wear skirts too, and women can wear trousers as well. It's not the 40s any more. The tweet mentioned gender nowhere.

Thanks for pushing the state of the art on this. Personally I'm not a fan of git signatures either because they seem to pair something supposed to be permanent (a commit) to something supposed to be ephemeral (a signing key). (Distribu

I get the arguments why lowercasing is better, and it's certainly more beautiful than making everything caps, but the transition from the old system to everything being lower case headers leads to a lot of bugs. https://gi

Yeah and in fact even for HTTP/1.1 only the start of requests/responses are plain text, as the content is transmitted in its raw, binary, form. If it's textual content, or none at all, it's definitely all text, but if it

USB charging, yes, but USB-C is not used for that long. We might have USB-D in the future. I doubt that it's the end of technological development.

With your numbers, that'd be 4% relative to the entire market, which is definitely something that Apple and the other phone manufacturers can deal with.

That's good but usually a new standard is phased in for one or two models to gain experience with it and then increasing numbers of phones use it. If you require all phones to use it from day one, you lose that. You'd at least nee

For cars, changes like these are phased in multiple steps. For each car model, companies mass producing cars have to obtain a permit for the model. Then, they are allowed to sell those cars. At which point the individual owners get their ca

Yeah, it might be a non competitive investment for private investors because of the high risk compared to the low return or because the benefits are only seen years down the line, so results in a low annualized rate (you need to do it via n

That's an issue of the implementation, not of the concept of hardware 2fA. With SSH keys, you don't need them around to enroll them, as they use public key cryptography. I can point someone else to github.com/est31.keys and t

So we end up with crypto bribing the people with the guns. Turns out they are powerful after all. Who could have guessed. But governments won't ever give away the power to print money to private hands. They aren't that bribeable

The way Rust solves this inconsistency issue is by having a bunch of builtin style lints, that 95% of Rust code follows. The key word here is builtin, as in, they existed since 1.0 and are enabled in the compiler by default. You still have

The model Microsoft is following here is called the "open core" model, where the core part of a product is open source, and then some extensions to it are proprietary. It's the same model that Chrome itself, that VSCodium is

If you overdo that, you end up with more abstraction than is helpful, which will hurt your ability to refactor as well. When I was younger, I've done a lot of abstractions because doing abstractions was cool. Now as I'm older and

In theory you can, but reception is notoriously bad in german trains. They know about it though and are constantly looking for improvements, e.g. the change a few years ago to allow for free wifi, or developments of glass technology. Links
