You can do a puzzle on any flat surface, but there's always the problem of how to glue the finished puzzle to that flat surface without turning the whole thing upside down. After all, it's the backside of the puzzle that you want

Thanks for the detailed list. A common theme in the last two cases is that the perpetrators did not actually force the plane to land in their own territory. They merely refused entry, forcing the plane to divert to a third country. This mea

The pilot probably took the photograph after landing. There's no time to take selfies during an emergency!

In my country, people call dashcams "black boxes". They can be quite useful if you also want audio and video.

Some of these things happen because people try to come up with a single clever query that does everything at once and returns a perfect spreadsheet. Translating status codes into English or some other natural language? That's better do

If diverting planes becomes a big enough problem for ordinary businesspeople and not just prominent opponents of certain dictators, I'm sure someone will build an app that helps us plan flights accordingly. Traveling from the US to Fra

Yes, that's the special thing about the US. Nobody can even use a phone without the US getting involved in one way or another. The UK on the other hand...

That's the crucial part. Lots of people who do business in other countries either want to, or need to, visit the US from time to time. Whether for a "shopping trip to NYC", or for business reasons. That's why it's a

"Legitimate" is relative here. I would count you as using unusual software to hide your actual source address. Not a huge concern because if you're doing that, I assume you also know how to move around to avoid getting blocke

If it's all from a single AWS region, this is the way to go. I tend to be careful with residential or office IP ranges. But if it looks like a datacenter, it will be blocked, no second thoughts. Especially if it's a cloud provider

Each TCP connection requires a unique combination of (server port, client port). Your server port is fixed: 80 or 443. They need to use a new ephemeral port for each connection. You will have 7000 sockets (file descriptors), but that's

Exactly. Firefox probably owes almost all of its remaining market share to its extension ecosystem, but it is rotting away in neglect. First-party extensions are a nice way to test out ideas and features without increasing the core product&

Caniuse.com looks wrong in this case. It marks old versions of Internet Explorer and Android browser as either unknown or not supporting Referer, when in fact they only lacked support for hiding the Referer in potentially insecure situati

If a browser is too old to send either the Sec-Fetch-Site header or the Origin header, it will probably ignore Referrer-Policy and always set the Referer header, which contains the origin. So I wonder why the author didn't consider fal

Larger slices taste better, too. Kimchi starts to lose its crispness as soon as it is cut. If you store pre-cut kimchi in the fridge, it will turn into a floppy mess much sooner. So you're more likely to be served uncut kimchi in resta
