Yes — I wonder if Let's Encrypt sets this up by default.

One minor beef with the Let's Encrypt process as showcased here: it lists redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS as a 'secure' option. While it's better than leaving the traffic as HTTP, it's obviously not ideal from a s

On the printer point, I once bought a 3rd-party cartridge for a Dell laser printer that not only didn't work but actually broke the printer (it stopped recognising all cartridges in that slot). The first question they asked on the phon

Ironically, you're absolutely right. Cops, bodyguards and civilians defending themselves generally only need guns because their adversaries have guns. Just take them out of everyone's hands. I know this works, if you can make it h

My suspicion is that someone who's smart, engaged and motivated enough to have figured out a way to be able to say they're a Swift contributor by fixing typos is probably in the top 10% of candidates anyway.

I have to say I'm surprised — I thought better of V8 than this. Arguably it's usually going to be preferable to know you're getting the same kind of random numbers across platforms anyway, so a BYO Mersenne Twister is a decen

Corbyn: so "unelectable", he got elected Labour leader. If you don't like the idea of electing Corbyn, don't vote for him, but don't let his "unelectability" put you off.

I was with you all the way up to your example, and then I didn't know what mutatis mutandis meant and I changed my mind. It's obviously a good thing that normal people be enabled to understand as much as possible of the laws tha

I call 'denier' on this. The greenhouse effect is 'incidental and temporary' in the same way as a pandemic or nuclear war: if you're thinking in geological timescales and have no particular interest in the wellbein

My wife's employer instituted a similar policy: instead of a qualification requirement, they now ask candidates to do a lengthy take-home exercise. Her experience is that, if anything, it's actually damaging for accessibility, bec

If we assume every user is employing long, random, unique passwords ... then we surrender the ability to reason about the real world. Economists are fond of that kind of thing, but in IT security it's not terribly helpful. Many (most

Hmm. I agree there could be a difference between 1 million and 10 million. To an approximation, 1 million is not having to worry about housing, while 10 million is not having to worry about work. But I'm not sure not having to worry ab
