It's just boring old gaming of the algorithms, unlikely any human at Google was involved in selecting that image.

ATMs with contactless are pretty common in Asia, I use them with Apple Pay quite often.

Most of the banks I've dealt with in Europe deliver them as push notifications, and I just tell my phone to summarise them and deliver them silently. So whenever I check my phone anyway, I see that there's been some transaction, b

I did Singapore to Berlin overland in 2016 via the southern route (Singapore - Malaysia - Thailand - Myanmar - India (northeast) - Bangladesh - India - Pakistan - Iran - Turkey - Bulgaria - Serbia - Hungary - Slovakia - Czechia - Germany).

Do you have a source that backs up your interpretation of the situation? IP addresses are "leaked" (I think that's a really shitty term in this context tbh) to every single thing you communicate with, or via, on the Internet,

Unless Google has started offering loans this specific scam seems unlikely in this case.

Seems to be an IAM outage, with all services that depend on IAM being degraded in some way or other. STS in af-south-1 has been unusable for us for around 1 hour already. Edit: since this has been flagged as a dupe, can someone link the dup

Sure. But I'm not using Windows.

I agree. But contextualising case sensitivity is sort of what VSCode is doing here. I'm running on a system where files are case-sensitive, yet it, because of Microsoft's preference for case-insensitivity, insists on sorting filen

To be clear, the OP discusses COGS in an electronics/manufacturing context, which refers specifically to the cost of manufacturing the product, and excludes things like marketing, logistics, R&D, salaries etc. It is not at all co

It's a bit strange in a programming tool, though, given that programmers are used to case being important, and virtually all other similar tools order capitals first.

Huh. Much as crypto seems to be reinventing the entire financial system (the good parts and the bad parts), I suppose the AI ecosystem will re-learn all the lessons learned in the last half century of software too.

It orders alphabetically but, differently from basically every other tool I use, doesn't put capitals first. Never understood why.

And to avoid all the horrible edge-cases that can arise when the parser has to work out whether the next line is a continuation of the same statement or not. For example in JS: var x = y.z [a, b, c].forEach(doIt) parses to: var

I went back and read the last comments before the CoC was invoked, and I read the CoC as well. Having done that, I don't understand which part of the CoC the comments were in violation of. Could you expand on why you think it was appro

I thought "exemption" from 3DS was universal for subscriptions beyond the first payment. I've certainly never once had to go through the 3DS flow for a second or subsequent payment of a subscription.

Please read the comment you are replying to again. I said that it's obvious that it's worth doing , not that the work to set it up is "obvious". Of course you need to learn some things, but it's not that much work.

Ah, I didn't consider that. Still, I often forget to update my card addresses for a while when I move, now that they don't post you anything. I usually don't move across the street, though...

Yes, I've also done this, as the line of 5km from a cluster of good restaurants is through the middle of the development we live in, and we're on the wrong side of it.

3D Secure generally (always?) doesn't apply when the card is present.

I'm sure there was a spike before it was universal, but it would be interesting to know what it settled down to. If you abandon your cart because of 3D Secure in Europe nowadays you won't be buying much...

Is this GitHub issue typical of the Python community nowadays? A two-year old CVE is picked up by gpshead as suddenly urgent enough to justify a fairly significant breaking change in a patch release, despite another issue (#90716) already t
