Apparently the basic requirement is that the device should not have a driver already claiming the interface. More info here: https://web.dev/build-for-webusb/

I put puppeteer into a serverless function and it worked well enough for low tens of thousands of PDFs a day. It's not fast, nor efficient, but it was reliable and surprisingly cheap. It was a definite improvement over the existing sol

You just need to be prepared to out crazy whatever you encounter. My plan, if it ever went sideways, was to pin the throttle and take my hands off the wheel. Fortunately it never came to that.

> you explained the 1000 ft view of how Flash works I second that. I find the better someone knows a subject, the harder it is for them to provide this perspective, making it all the more impressive.

I think it depends a lot on how it is used. In the case of sabre, that is somebody's job. They use that interface everyday so the user needs to be able to use the interface efficiently and is willing to learn the shortcuts. A sign up f

I find a lot of typos in documentation and I never create a PR lest people think I am one of those people. They really do make things worse for everyone.

It reminds me of a story I just heard about the allegedly haunted plane parts from the crash of EA 401. Obviously not the most probable explanation, but I found the story interesting. https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2020&#x2F

They do seem to have a policy of asymmetric warfare, for example turning a blind eye to the export of fentanyl. It's not exactly far fetched. See the book "Unrestricted Warfare" by 2 PLA colonels. https://en.wikipe

I've wondered about this, too. The simple and unhelpful answer is because banks/CC companies are conservative and consider them high risk. So why is that? I've been able to find two factors: 1) associated (correctly or not) w

I was also wondering about the /configure endpoint. There was no mention of access control.

I use mailinator, but their domains are blocked by many services. Fortunately, they don't check if the provided domain resolves to one of the blocked domains... So I created an MX record on a domain I own that points to a mailinator do

I'm always amazed when I see the various embedded contexts I find windows out in the wild. Usually when they are glitching out and displaying a start menu or something. I guess they are operating at a scale where the licensing hell isn

I bought a laptop case off Amazon with the brand name "unik" on it. I think it is supposed to read "unique" but I always see "eunuch".

I have PDFs set to open with firejail. Adds about a second to launch times, acceptable IMO.

There is no valid card to retry. From TFA: > DoorDash “experienced a payment processing issue” that let some users “check out without an authorized form of payment for a short period of time.”

Does anyone know the current state of WebThings? I dabbled back before Mozilla dropped it and it seemed cool, but with some rough edges. I wonder if it survived the transition to a community run project.

I also love that quote, but I believe it is "There, but for the grace of god, go I". One of the best things that ever happened to me was becoming a member of a group that I was previously prejudiced against.

I swear 99% of them are prototype pollution or regex DOS that don't apply to how I'm using the dependency.

Maybe adware that pops a message that doesn't generate any revenue once after 15 seconds would be more accurate. But I suppose that depends on if a single non-commercial message counts as an ad.

Yours is a bad example. I on-boarded at a remote-first company (they were remote pre-COVID) a year ago and my experience was nothing like yours. I was warmly welcomed and immediately partnered with a senior person. People were extremely hel

I worked as a projectionist in an old theatre in my teens that used 35mm film and the analog sound stripe. This was early 2000s and was very dated for the time. Projectionist used to be a trade, but by this point they gave the job to kids w

If you are entering this into the browser console, you can use $$() as shorthand for document.querySelectorAll(), with chromium-based browsers at least. As a bonus, it returns an array so you can map/filter.

Some fairly glaring typos: - 4th paragraph, "4,876 privacy policy" should be "4,876 page privacy policy". - 6th paragraph, "form of" should be "firm or". I emailed them so hopefully they fix it. I ten
