I remember when I first read the tagline and thought it was a bit cheap, but later realised it's actually quite am accurate and appropriate description of the functionality.

I think some exposure to ML is going to be pretty important to most areas in IT, including security. A bit like how whether you want to be in coding, security, ops, management etc, you probably should know a bit of software architecture. I

This is an inspiring attitude. I used to be stuck in a rut of "there's no point starting to build / learn a thing because there will almost certainly never be a result of substance". After a while I realised that every u

That's very thoughtful, but my suggested edit is all yours if you want it :)

Hey, cool product. I know that marketing success is not predicated on good grammar, nevertheless I felt moved to suggest a minor edit to your blurb: "HyperDX helps engineers figure out why production is broken, faster. HyperDX centrali

I have two kids, 5 and 8. In brief, I love computers and the internet but I genuinely fear social media and the whole dopamine loop hole along with various other social media risks. So my over-arching strategy has been to emphasise creativi

For anyone interested in this subject / genre I recommend "The War Game" by Peter Watkins [1] Also by Peter Watkins, "The Journey" (aka "Resan") [2]. Quite long, that one. Threads is one of relatively few

Even with the easiest I think my 7 year old would get flustered. Ideally I'd be able to slow it down. (ps. love the joke in the list of example texts to use...)

Oh ok, so loading in different text is the way to influence difficulty. Geddit.

This is really fun! I feels nice to play - quite a satisfying interaction. I feel like it would be a good way for my kids to get a bit of typing practise, but I think the difficulty is set too hard for them. I can't see a way to change

Also came to see if anyone mentioned Threads, the film. Really great film, but certainly leaves an impact on the viewer. Slack has a feature called 'Threads' and for a long time after they introduced it, every time I opened the ap

"But no-one uses different databases." Not true. A client wanted an on-premises instance of our product and specified SQL Server while we had only used MySQL before. Due to the ORM there were only tiny changes required to be up an

Oh I love this project. It made maintaining my CV tolerable. Here's mine, in case anyone wants to see what a finished article looks like: http://geoff-clayton-cv.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ (not currently looki

There is a desktop app for Bitwarden, but it is Electron based (on Linux, at least). A cli tool is a good idea though.

Nice article. My favourite bit is '"No" is better!'. Going to use that one plenty.

Oh yes, good call! Still, was a good book...

Thanks for this! Will be following a couple of the references wrt "gradual typing literature".

It was tiling window managers that got me on Manjaro. A few years ago I got interested in he idea of tiling WMs and Manjaro shipped an iso with i3wm as default. At the time it was intended as an experiment really, but I liked i3wm so much I

My sub 10 years old kid has a smartphone, but it has no sim card and runs a Google child account, so nothing can be installed without me approving, and it only knows about the home wi-fi. We also control how much it is used and it is not le

I worked with AS/400s. Very fond memories of changing the backup tapes, in particular. I loved the server room! Meanwhile on the software side I was mostly dealing with EDI messages and it was all about critically precise placement of

This was almost exactly what I was thinking. I worry about my kids on the walk to school and back (with a parent). I end up having to take a very restrictive and disciplinary tone and am not comfortable with it. 95% of drivers are looking w

Another technique you that could be used would be to look for distinct fingerprints that both have visited the same extremely niche web addresses. Someone is surely doing this already.

by jefc1111 4y ago
Is anyone trying to tie users to multiple devices, and consequently identify both fingerprints as being from one user? I.e. Let's say I visit HN on both my laptop and on my mobile phone, each will have a very different fingerprint, but

Yes, better not to drink alone if at all possible.

I am on board with this. You can do someone a serious injury while cycling. Also, you might kill yourself by drunk cycling. And that is likely to have a huge effect on lots of people you care about. It's just a bad idea all round...
