Agreed. The content on this site provides an endless source of giggling for me. I have tried and failed to explain to my wife why I find it so amusing. The author has a talent for presenting quasi-coherent computer-generated gibberish in a

I mean...ok, I guess if you allow committing directly to master, and you allow merging in both directions...sure, I see your point. In our repos, we allow neither, so all non-merge commits are, by definition, on a feature branch on the righ

> Git doesnt keep the name of a branch after it's merged... Eh? This is trivial to change by specifying the "--no-ff" option to `git merge`, or by setting the config option "merge.ff" to false.

Yeah, converting via the 5/8 ratio is how I've always done it. I traveled to Florida a number of times as a kid, and for whatever reason I have a permanent memory of the speed limit signs showing "55 MPH / 88 KMH".

I got bit by that as well. I think testing common arguments is useful, but I wonder if it would make more sense to limit to a single argument. That would eliminate the need to handle permutations, and it would also keep the questions simple

It's not quite what you're asking for, but Apple does still sell the iPod Touch, and they recently revved it. One could pair that with a mobile hotspot with a power button...

In the news segment of this week's episode of Risky Business[0], one of the hosts mentions (starting around 3:40) he has some information that there was an RCE disclosed to Zoom back "some months ago". He further says that @

It's not to hard to extract the app bundle from the .pkg file. This is how I've always installed it. Do this from an empty directory, though, since it will just spray files everywhere... * Use `xar` to extract the contents of the

There's a web client? I'd guess the reason is that, if you don't have any of the native apps installed, and you click a Zoom meeting link, the browser will download the native client installer. There's no mention at all

It's mentioned in the article. After uninstalling the main application, you also have to kill the helper app named ZoomOpener. The article gives some Terminal commands to do this, but you should be able to find it in Activity Monitor i

So the take-away for consumers is...what exactly? Don't use certain types of cables to power a RaspberryPi 4? And how does one identify a cable that could cause problems?

I am very sorry for your loss. It always sad to deal with the death of a pet, but it's especially hard when they're so young and it's so sudden. I hope you will consider that this report is discussing early stages of research

Well, I think lawyers in class action suits typically work on contingency, so there wouldn't be any up-front cost to suing, and they would just take a big chunk of the settlement or judgement instead as a fee. However, as is the trend

The benefit is to eliminate the disadvantages and complexity (however opaque) of running NAT. I don't think anyone is suggesting that all devices be reachable by default. It's entirely reasonable and prudent to have a firewall b

It's worth noting that use of -A instead of -I in your example from [1] likely makes this rule ineffective, since it will be appended to the end of the INPUT chain. This has already been reported as an issue[2]. [2]: https:/&#x2

If your hypothesis was true -- that the pilots eyes are always obscured from the ground by the plane's fuselage -- it would also be impossible for the pilot to see any part of the ground from the cockpit. This is easily debunked with a

Yeah, I had the same guess. I'll bet their current higher performance models come with fancy Pirellis or something equivalent, and this is a way to reduce cost.
