The part of this story I find most interesting are all the people in the reddit threads and old hn threads who call for some test of the validity of her religious claims or that she in some way prove the sincerity of her beliefs. Can you im

That's a nice comprehensive approach. I'm actually pretty happy with my setup from a data loss prevention perspective. It is just that, as I approach 2 decades of saving digital photos, I question the utility of it. My parents hav

I've been looking into authoring blu rays. Seems to be several promising apps but I haven't tried any yet.

I used to seriously stress out worrying about the huge amount of family photos I have saved in cloud storage and what it would mean to lose them. I've got a local backup as well of course. Even that has to be upgraded every so often to

This page is great and anyone who buys a microphone should really have a look at it first. Especially anyone who buys a side address mic[0]. There are so many people on YT who buy one and then position it incorrectly and speak into the wron

As an engineering leader, I tend to agree that giving Product Managers too much power causes lots of problems. A big one is retaining good engineers. My experience of bad PMs is that they live in the Y side of the XY problem space[0] and be

I grew up and lived in 3 cities in the US for most of my life. Having a car was a must in all of them. For the last 10 years I have lived in 2 european cities and not needed a car. I love not owning a car. This is made possible by lots of

From what I can see, everything you listed applies to most long lived programming languages. I can certainly say the same things about javascript and python. Your last paragraph really highlights it. Why take this approach? When I need to u

Maybe I'm missing something, but it has always seemed to be that people who complain about shell scripts do not approach shell scripting the way they approach any other programming language. By this I mean that they seem to actively re

If this is a subject that interests you, I highly recommend the book Where Wizards Stay Up Late[0]. This blog post really just scratches the surface. And if reading about network protocols is your kind of thing, I definitely suggest reading

No, that wouldn't be enough. Our employees can only access the Google Workspace from managed devices and everyone is required to use 2fa. If your account is flagged for a suspicious login, we call you. Unlocking your account only allow

As a business user of Google Workspace, it is a very different situation. Any one of our Super Admins (we have 3) can quickly unlock an account of any employee that has been locked out. We can also adjust the sensitivity of the auto lockout

These days, Google search makes me feel old and confused. The default now seems to be to ignore any search term it deems irrelevant. Whatever process is used to drop words from the query almost always drops the most important and significan

People without a Google account can indeed book. Might want to double check that you are testing the Booking page link and not the link to manage your own booking page.

For what you say to be true, it relies on everyone tipping the same amount all the time. The problem is that people do not tip this way. Tipping in the USA has been studied for 25+ years and the results are clear: The amount a given waiter

That's nonsense. If that were true, not tipping in an American restaurant would give the owner the right to take me to small claims court to recover the missing tip. Do you really think simply stating that "everyone knows" wo

Simply put, there is no defense of tipping that stands up to rigorous scrutiny. If you think any of the following points are incorrect, please look for a study that reflects this. I'm willing to bet you won't find any. Studies sho

A big challenge in translating "The Bible" is that it is an anthology collected over 100s or 1000s of years in many different and divergent forms. Thus there is no authoritative original version. All available versions were compil

ReactOS helped me in a pinch recently when I needed to run a Windows only app to configure an IoT device. As I don't own any Windows system, it's very nice to have an option other than buying or borrowing a copy of Windows.
