I will add to the hundreds of comments.. Whatever happened to the thin waist of the wasp, in interfaces.. So, we design a system, for showing and interacting with data over networks. When we start with this, the outset is defining say a cha

We had a tower of bable collapse, when we switched to web UI. We gained a million things and lost a million things. There was an era from around 1985 to early 2000s, where a large majority of applications had a (somewhat) consistent UI, ba

one national newspaper where I live is famous for viewing everything from the perspective of 'their office'/the city they are in. An great example of this was when they discussed something happening in a different city in s

how do you explain easter egg bunnies then??

anyway, the new political administration is bound to solve the problem with costly eggs any minute now, and the soaring egg prices were without a doubt caused by the previous administration :-)

this is what life is, at its finest. Not staying by a pool, but weaving and meandering this way. Though they say taste can't be argued.

There is one further problem with this entire sub-discussion: There are two mitigation strategies discussed: - A: guaranteed SQL-injection-proof (SQL injection impossible.) - B: Having non-obvious table-names and 'secure-defaults'

Your reasoning and motivation is reductio ad absurdum. It does not make sense to base your system security on hiding from the public that your 'Users' table is called 'Users'. If you are vulnerable to this attack, the gu

if it matches what happened in my country during the witch hunt era, people were often burned so other people could take their loot. That is, there was a strong alignment between who drove the accusations, and who stood to gain from the vic

My doctor/'s office was just forced to switch to app-instead-of-website for patient interation. Ironically, the old and this new software came from same megacorp I work for (different department, same story). The old web interface

I could have written this verbatim comment, but you saved me the effort. We have "2FA" which becomes 3+FA on the most random stuff at work. So whatever you have to do for the day will contain lots of sprinkled arbitrary 2FA games.

a lot of countries already have this, and without handing e.g. Elon Musk the keys to the kingdom. America for example has this: https://www.foia.gov/

As an old software-dev who has both started and 'finished' projects (stayed on to make them actually useful in production for non-trivial data flows), Amen. In today's world it is in some ways getting worse: You have older ap

I use a mix of sublime and vscode. I often pick sublime, because I want peace of mind. I trust it to not try to make me 'do something else'. It (mostly) doesn't pester me with things to update or that are out-of-date, it does

I live in denmark, and mirror your comment almost to the word. Especially the idea that programming it felt like doing magic.

They suggest the students should do this exercise in pairs. When doing so, the lucky partner is the one who doesn't have to sit in front of the radiation source.

I will reveal my ignorance: This idea of 'mining' for hydrogen, must mean applications where we can't use hydrogen sourced from splitting water molecules? So it must be cost-effective relative to splitting water molecules?

I'm not quite sure why he expressed himself in a way that is easily misunderstood. He probably shouldn't have used "protocol" as the word/concept he wanted to communicate. I think what he was trying to say, is tha

Another perspective is that it is a person who takes great care/is very thorough, to examine and re-evaluate his reasonings, and makes an effort to explain the logic in his reasoning, which can be helpful if you are trying to figure ou

The optimistic tone at the start of the article might just be a hallucinatory strawman set up. But as a probably old dog, I fail to see the allure of these technologies(*). When I read the copy trying to peddle them, to me it sounds quite l

It's probably impossible to counter-act the aggressive reactions here on the "NPC" term. But the way people interpret his phrase, and how I read it, seem very different? People seem to read it as him saying "colleagues a

The article mentions parliament may rival doctor Who. However, the Eleven-day Empire appears in Doctor Who. That organisation has set up their base in a time loop consisting of those days that this law excluded from the official calendar. T

it is a risky gamble IMHO. (some) needy/vain people use it to 'prove' to themselves 'I am so close to person X that we understand each other so well that when I say the opposite they still understand me'. IE it&#x27
