As a northeasterner, I can explain: In some other places, a turn signal before a lane change is an ask, to which others respond by creating more of a gap than there originally was. Here, it's not an ask but a statement that you've

It's not the "where" but the "that you link" which is ironic: referring to it by the https:// scheme turns it into a link (a fundamental aspect of www); a scheme like ssh:// or git:// w

Presumably that's to keep hardware sales up, e-waste be damned. You won't notice it taking 8 times longer when you have 8 times as many cores, or whatever.

You would know which one is the desired one because only the desired one would be in pairing mode at that moment. Obviously a collision (if I can say that word) is possible, but unlikely enough for most purposes.

Right, those other people (well, their devices) are asking you (well, your device) what your (device's) name is. You're not telling them until they ask. They need to leave you alone!

Isn't it 2/3 of a gallon plus any cold start inefficiency? But either way your point stands.

I can imagine an evolution like: 1. Introduce passwords 2. Introduce email-based reset flow 3. Introduce 2FA (optional) 4. Someone says "take the password reset flow, trigger it automatically when a user tries to log in and has only gi

I had been thinking someone with a similar address made a typo. But now I'm thinking Microsoft already considers this a known incident depending on whether a bazillion attempts were made in a detectable manner. I hope a successful laun

If someone texts me something that's not interesting to those MITMs but is sensitive to mom catching a glance while my phone is on the table, that's a problem this toggle creates/destroys. Threat models vary.

You have a point, but as a musician and programmer, I'm far more fond of AI generating things of a "no wrong answers" nature than things that are ostensibly correct. Music does have certain notions of correctness (e.g., [0])

It also puts a throbbing highlight (for a few seconds) on whichever channel is associated with the notification whose gear icon you used as a shortcut into the channel list. At least for Pixel phones.

I find it to be a poor default that sensitive data is shown on the lock screen. I change that setting as a first order of business whenever I'm setting up a new phone.

I recently got an unsolicited OTP email from Microsoft, which led me to fear that someone had entered my password, but no: I eventually was able to confirm that the arrival of an OTP does not, in fact, require that someone enter anything be

Knowing what numbers are real through an official publication is very good, but it only allows you to place trust in calls you make, not calls you receive, because making calls doesn't involve caller ID, receiving calls does, and calle

Thanks! As I think about terminals in quite different contexts (credit card terminal, battery terminal, train terminal, etc.) I'm realizing that it's really just any kind of endpoint at all, so pretty much any human interface devi

The tricky bit is that while it's impossible to deprive someone of their idea (i.e., commit theft of an idea), it's possible to steal someone's idea (i.e., copy it and use it illicitly), because only the word theft, but not t

by hunter2_ 5mo ago
Stealing has a much looser definition than theft; notably, it can include ideas unlike theft. You deprived me of my accounts, but not of my now-obsolete passwords, therefore it's a theft of my accounts, but not theft of my now-obsolete

Taking someone else's car illicitly is theft, because theft means taking with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. Copying can never be theft, only moving can be theft, because only moving it could deprive the rightful owner of

The problem is that it requires not only that the ticketed people (scalpers, show-goers) do something new to prevent scalping, but also that the ticketing people (ticketmaster, etc.) do something new to prevent scalping. We need a solution

I was fine with the earlier method which doesn't need that. I only concocted an alternative to address your disgust with it! The ID verification part that you skipped is much more interesting anyway.

TUI stands for "Text User Interface" not "Terminal User Interface" considering that the point of TUI vs GUI is to distinguish text mode from graphical mode. The word "terminal" isn't really meant to imply

by hunter2_ 5mo ago
An actual transfer is needed when selling to someone you don't know/trust. But for the moms in your example, handing over the ticket just means temporarily handing over the account: share the password (assuming no password reuse h

The question was about actual resale (although I'm beginning to wonder); you're talking about something for which I don't believe the word "resale" is accurate.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned fretting the lower strings for a unison (1:1) to the higher adjacent open string. No beating in this unison yields equal temperament, due to frets scaled accordingly, so it avoids the problem I mentioned.

Not really. 12 TET (the tuning intervals used in almost all situations where you want equal ability to play in any key, from a Western music perspective) requires a slight amount of beating, even in those "perfect fourth" interval
