I'm not sure I agree with that. There's a lot of different values provided by 2FA which this preserves: - secrets are not static, unlike passwords, reducing risks from logging/monitoring code or certain types of keyloggers (e

I'm a little confused by the conventions of this article (this isn't my field), but I think Table 4 on page 2226 and Figure 4 on page 2228 (and the surrounding text) are in fact looking at the total competence of the group before

I think the API promise is that even if there are known discrepancies pre-1970, the standard database already might not be including that, and so people with pre-1970 timestamps already should have been using backzone.

Yes, and the tz database handles this. (In fact the most immediate trigger for the 2021b release is that Samoa decided to get rid of daylight savings, but obviously did not retroactively change any times in the past... which points to an ob

By "the current progressist ideology," are you referring to the ideology of, as the saying goes, "Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic" people? Or is this an ideology held by farmers in India or chemica

"Democrats" is a broad term. That's possibly true of "centrist" / "moderate" DINOs, but if you look at, say, folks who set up the CHOP in Seattle (who might not proudly call themselves Democrats, but

Not that I disagree with this advice, but what are you supposed to do if you're the victim of a crime (e.g., like the comment at the top of the thread, another driver crashed into your car)? Is the answer that the best thing to do is t

There are two things that can be tested here, not one: whether the upstream service conforms to the contract / API promise, and whether your code behaves correctly with respect to what the API promises. So that gives you a number of op

What does a laptop with a bunch of random data on its disk and a lot of evidence of use (grime, worn keys, etc.) let you deny that the same laptop with a generic Linux boot partition followed by random data does not let you deny?

It's the first Google result for 'joe bourne github twitter'. He's not trying to keep it a secret, and I don't know why we should keep it secret for him. Is he supposed to be embarrassed about it?

Would you prefer an OS that lets Microsoft spy on you, or an OS that lets the entire world spy on you? Obviously the correct answer is "neither," but if you're deciding between Windows 7 or 11, that isn't an option you s

It's called "perlasm." First Google hit finds it, if you happen to want to see it again :) (Though it's not header files, so I wonder if 'wbl was thinking of something else.)

I mostly agree with you, but I think the strongest argument in favor of using them anyway is that you might add state/actions/third-party resources to your website at some point, and adding those headers now is harmless and a wa

Does the argument meaningfully change if you replace the word "salary" with "compensation"? If not, please stop pretending that you made an interesting point.
