For people reading "web bulb" here and not having the least idea of what it is, first of all it's "wet bulb", and this article explained it very clearly to me: https://www.iflscience.com/environment&

That's an amazing idea! Do you know if any browser vendor has this concept even in the radar? It would be very cool that password managers were able to do that: manage passwords , and not have to deal with each browser's idiosync

Good idea! I'm however limited here by the fact that (Firefox at least) only one sidebar can be open at the same time. And for me that's occupied full-time by the fantastic Tree Style Tab extension. I would definitely find it usef

I guess it makes sense, but it's a very very unhelpful suggestion... we're painfully and slowly moving in the direction of teaching users how passwords are less and less useful as long as they are not random, so the ideal alternat

I'm paying for a Bitwarden subscription because I want to support their product and their vision. But I don't know, time passes and some much needed improvements don't seem to arrive. The most glaring issue (for me, anyway; I

People are just reacting strongly to a word that I guess in their culture has too many negative connotations. Your idea was pretty much on point and made for a fun tweet, and I think it's good enough without needing to split hairs betw

I'm not sure what's the point; in this day and age, I'm pretty sure that if your 14 years old wants to send a nude picture, if they really have already reached to that decision, they will do it. The only practical barrier

That's just a feeling you have. I know, because I had it too. I'd be surprised if it's not a typical self-criticism phenomenom that is common to most people, just like the famous impostor syndrome. But just like 95% of people

Yep, I went for a coffee and realized that. But this is a consequence of the simplistic summary, as I warned. As everything, the devil is in the details! If we look closer, I believe (not an expert, though) that without a copyright assignme

Wow that's amazing, I had seen Zotero mentioned in other 4 comments but still hadn't yet triggered me to do a search for it. Seems like a great way to create a personal archive! Will be checking it out, thanks

It is probably too much to ask everyone follow the same approach, so I'll be happy if people just test their own commands by hand. But your doc build step that validates code and catches errors? That's the ideal setup, for sure. G

I stand by my opinion that any kind of documentation or tutorial should pass a validation step where the author does copy/paste of all their commands into a clean Docker container or VM image. If any error happens, your work is not don

For me the major inconvenience is having to add yet one more power adaptor to typically overcrowded socket outlets. I wish we had a common system of power adaptors that allowed to get some volts from already existing plugs! I reckon this wo

To be honest, I don't know either because I avoided them since the first time they got introduced. Those folders is precisely Microsoft acknowledging there is something wrong about the files-first approach, but as usual, in trying to m

This is not an error users make. It's an error that Brew makes, as a software: not taking the chance to, you know, work for the user instead of otherwise, as computing should do. Just ask the user if they want the configuration be au

I'm 100% with this idea. Managing the file system in a decent way is extra effort and a skill in itself . One that is just adjacent to the concept of using a computer for work. In fact I'd dare to say having the filesystem as fi

The thing is that in all those 49 years we could already have had a backwards-incompatible reshape of the language. Leaving old cruft behind would have brought immense improvements! I develop in C and C++ and think this would apply to both.

The golden rule is: use -Werror for Debug builds, so you catch and fix all warnings during development. That's fair enough. But never ever leave -Werror enabled for building in Release mode. You'll be preventing your code from b

Yes, I liked at the moment, and still today see the appeal of using a common prefix for the internals of a software project. However I don't think it's a good idea, nor pretty or attractive, that such a technical decision transpir

Yes, something like that. But I never developed specifically for Apple platforms... what is (or was) the meaning behind "NS"?
