The source doesn't matter, only the content. If the hash of the file matches the hash you've already approved for jquery-3.3, then the file is (unless someone's found a collision in the hashing algorithm that hasn't been

This would be really neat, and not that hard to build from what I know about building extensions. Basically just store a hash of file, whenever external files are loaded see if their hash exists in your list, if not block it from loading un

My partner and I are 'mystery shoppers' for restaurants. We have our bill covered plus a bit extra on top (but have to fill out hefty, detailed questionnaires afterwards). One of the things there's always a whole section on i

Old men drinking pints of lager in Spoons early in the morning is a national problem. It's basically treated as cheap daycare for elder relatives by some families - drop dad off with £20 first thing in the morning and pick him up at cl

I'm familiar with Spoons, the main problem is that they have TV's visible from anywhere you're sitting (at least in the ones near me) that are incredibly distracting.

One thing that's becoming near-impossible is finding places to drink (as in pubs or bars) without piped music. This contributes significantly to noise. It's done of course so that we shout ourselves hoarse trying to have a convers

I do. You do an online tutorial, and together with bits of code from Stack Overflow you can tie together APIs, including payment processing APIs relatively easily into what you want. You don't read the documentation, you just google ti

I find this kind of error the most unsettling, it implies the people writing the authentication system don't trust the underlying ORM/database sanitisation layer (if there even is one!) enough, so to 'play it safe' they

Laziness implies you know the right thing to do but don't do it due to the extra effort. I'd put this more likely down to incompetence.

As someone living in London this is absolutely not the case for me. Mutli-mode transport is very easy in the era of Citymapper, I find myself on buses quite often; areas further from tube stations tend to have better bus services to compens

Office on Mac is garbage - I had someone told me that it remains single-threaded on Mac which would explain this. I find my Pixel (v1) surprisingly fast given its age and have no plans to replace it currently, although the share menu slowne

God yes, I will miss Inbox hard. I have started trying out Spark, and it's sort of ok but there's really nothing out there with such a tight focus as Inbox. Gmail on the web is just awful, and perhaps that was one of Inbox's

Yes, and I imagine the text of many Madrigals is extremely compressible, especially if you include all the 'fa la la's verbatim.

Specifically English Protestantism, in this case. Some things were allowed to be polyphonic, such as Psalm settings, and Byrd made a point of setting Psalms that alluded to the struggles faced by Catholics at that time. Some referenced the

A bit off-topic, but it makes me think of how words and their setting has changed over history. In English music at least, words and how they were set was a big deal during the various switches between Catholicism and Protestantism in the

This is one of the less appreciated clauses of the GDPR: That companies are required to disclose data breaches within a reasonable time-frame, and users have the right to know about any exposure of their data.

That reminds me of the group that closed a valve on an oil pipeline[1]. The aim was to bring the case to trial, so that they could claim that they were acting legally, as the alternative (letting the pipeline continue to operate) was a dire

It kind of sucks if you draw something nice, but it can't tell what it is, so that's that.

Are you joking? Bitcoin is a terrible medium for exchange of small quantities of money. A few places around where I live set up bitcoin payment machines a few years ago. They all gave up. Transaction processing times reached over 30 minutes

The best cook books out there right now as far as I'm concerned are Meera Sodha's. Veg-centric (one book is entirely vegetarian) Indian cooking that's well-explained and mostly very easy to do at home (and totally delicious).

Amazon Drawer of old Android devices is the best alternative name. This is a fantastic resource, I wish I'd had it when I first dived (dove?) into AWS. Maybe these shouldn't actually be names, but it would be nice to have nice des

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give ex

Default-insecure is bad design almost anywhere I can think of (and Django Storages is changing their default in the next version - they realised it's probably not best as it is).
