In some cases, the current user's focus is unrelated to the notification. For example: if the notification is alerting you to some foreign event like an incoming message, an app reading the clipboard on its own, an alarm, etc. -- some

Seems completely plausible to me, and elegant to boot. To minimize design change, the product name could be the alignment check. {You being too high/low} and {the angle of the numbers/check being wrong} are two ways of saying the

Some may see usual punishment such as customary fines and jail time as cruel, but the usual-ness making the arguable cruelness moot is convenient as it eliminates the need to argue it.

Reducing excessively before the DAC and high gain after the DAC is far more likely to result in quality reduction, due to quantization error. Having reasonable levels before the DAC and just the right amount of gain after the DAC (e.g., via

But GitHub is keeping this stuff indefinitely. No long expiration, no probability of eventual disk overwriting, nothing. All they're doing is shutting the front door without shutting the side door.

While the difficulty of achieving single logout (SLO) is interesting technically, we can zoom out a bit and see that SLO died because all web logout processes are pointless given how screen lock and user switching have become ubiquitous. It

Governments ought to incentivize efficient datacenter workloads, the same way they're incentivizing heat pumps over resistive heat. If they can give people tax credits for having efficient homes, they can give maintainers of large-scal

A server (nginx / httpd) might very well make outbound HTTPS calls and want to verify the origin's certificate to the fullest extent possible. This is known as a reverse proxy. However, many -- certainly not all -- reverse proxy c

Interesting, but I think the VLAN in your explanation is equivalent to the "network" I'm asking about. The V is mostly immaterial, I think.

Soft keys/knobs have that exact same benefit, and people are quite familiar with the idea since it's ubiquitous in ATM interfaces. You get the software-defined functions and labels, without the touch screen. Quite popular with aud

Could Microsoft put pressure on UEFI vendors to coordinate a way for such reinstallation to be suppressed during this failsafe boot?

I believe it's not intended to be a trap; it's not to encourage taking more or less than a typical amount. Rather, it's done to avoid paying out on termination in places that require doing so as mentioned earlier.

Yeah, it's a bit like asking why Microsoft doesn't make a BitTorrent client or why Chase doesn't offer a cryptocurrency. The prevailing use cases are just a bit too untoward, even if a few wholesome stories do exist.

But a loss of availability is so much more palatable than the others, plus the others often result in manually restricting availability anyway when discovered.

A delivery receipt, an automatic read receipt, and a human ack are quite distinct. The first means the device will offer it to a user who eventually looks. The second means the device expects that the user saw it. The third means the user d

It would be pedantic if it were indeed nothing but a joke, but I think the existence of this gimmick forces us to assimilate our non-joking language in order to avoid ongoing problems. Easier to have common ground among participants and onl

If cracking techniques catch the concatenation of those as suffixes to short undefined things, which I think many people would do at minimum, that would be worrisome indeed.
