Password managers are phishing resistant. The browser plugin will not offer to autocomplete passwords on an identical-looking punycode domain. A sufficiently long, randomly generated password is also database-leak resistant. Good luck brute

6km/h is a brisk walk. You need to concentrate on the walking aspect if you want to maintain that pace. Slow down a bit to 4-5km/h and you can last much longer, not to mention multitask more effectively (listen to an audiobook, be

Also purely anecdotal, but I once lost 17kg (37lb) just by walking an additional 90 minutes a day for several months straight. And successfully maintained the new low weight for years afterward, also by walking moderately more than the usua

Another commenter talked about prehistoric hunters chasing game. I would assume that those hunters were quite a bit more fit than the average Western dude today. It's also not surprising that a human body in good shape is still optimiz

The problem with the JPEG vs. PNG debate for screenshots, is that screenshots can contain anything from photos to text to UI elements to frames of video. Just open any website and you'll see text right beside photos, or text against a

It's because abstractions always leak. You are never completely insulated from the levels above or below you, nor sideways from the other components you interact with.

Abstractions are fine. Everything we do is a dozen layers of abstraction on top of the metal anyway. It just happens that people who know how the bits actually move underneath the abstractions tend to be better at solving problems related t
