My kids are still young, but I’m going try very hard to be a father like this. Especially if it’s about things I don’t relate to or understand.

Canada is also experiencing record travel from domestic travellers, so I don’t think that’s the case no. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bakx-tourism-travel-d...

This may apply in the US but not everywhere. In Canada it is illegal to expire and take back money on gift cards. So they can keep collecting interest on it forever, but they have to keep the balance for you indefinitely.

You’re describing changing the base assumption for software reachable on the internet. “Assume all possible unauthenticated urls will be hit basically constantly”. Bots used to exist but they were rare traffic spikes that would usually beha

If it’s legit you can ask your ISP if they sell use of your hardware. Or just don’t use the provided hardware and instead BYO router or modem or media converter or whatever. But I think what OP is implying is insecure hardware being infecte

My favourite starter word has come and gone. So I’m in the opposite situation where I feel relieved to be able to go back to using it.

> it’s only true use is to anonymize payments The irony of this is that since every transaction and all its metadata is on chain, it has turned out to be easily traced back to the beginning of time. Fully open, the opposite of anonymized

This works on any iPhone? It mounts the non-privileged DCIM folder or whatever over USB to somewhere on your filesystem? With write access?

It is a pain. I’ve wrapped it in some short scripts which notifies on auth failure and it’s an easy process to run the auth script. But there’s no way to avoid the bi-monthly inconvenience I don’t think.

I’ve used this tool for years and it’s great. But it really saves just the raw data. You’d never get it back in to Apple Photos as nice as when you pulled it out. Metadata is missing. Live Photos come out as an image and a similarly named v

Cookie pops are malicious compliance to regulations that legitimately protect consumers. You’ve cherry picked one bad side effect to throw out all the ways the EU is way ahead of anyone else in protecting consumers, most of which you don’t

We are on the waiting list for the Rivian R2. Looks promising! The other Rivians are too big. I am in Canada and we don't really have access to many Asian made EVs.

Without him the stock would crash. Most of its value is the cult of personality. (Which, to be clear, is bad)

This is well said. Tesla, for all their problems, is the only manufacturer you can count on prioritizing and long term updating their EVs.

I’ve been squinting at the “global cache for all bundler instances” issue[1] and I’m trying to figure out if it’s a minefield of hidden complication or if it’s actually relatively straight forward. It’s interesting as a target because it pa

> can’t be bothered to host my own email Never host your own email. It’s a nightmare if legacy systems, edge cases, layered on trust systems, malicious actors, and endless spam. It’s a good way to spend a bunch of time and effort making

I’ve been a career programmer for almost two decades but have stopped for a while to parent my young kids. Is this what I’m coming back to? Because honestly I hate it.

They just get delayed. Pickup points stop accepting packages. Mail boxes fill up. But they catch up when Canada Post goes back to work. Goods don’t disappear but delay with no predictable end date. Canada Post is a crown corp so they operat

Canada Post is in financial crisis for similar reasons.

Commented in another reply, this is the answer. Works great and supports a dozen barcode types.

This is great. And it send me down the path of trying to get my library card to work. Turns out it uses a format called Codebar which is from 1972 and not supported by Apple wallet passes. This tool and most of the other linked ones in this

This looks like it would work well, but it’s a subscription. It makes no sense to charge me a yearly fee to make one pass file for my library card.

I tried using this. The camera didn’t work in several ways, it didn’t understand barcodes, and crashed a half dozen times before I just deleted it.

I wish I could have played it, but it made me so violently sick. Only a few games ever have, but none that badly. The other one was Blue Prince which was a tragedy.

I’ve tried getting CEC working with my pretty average setup: Samsung Frame, Marantz receiver, couple of console games. It has been worse than doing all the remote juggling switching mysel because it is non-deterministic. This article will h

A local couple runs a hot food stall at outdoor markets all over the city by backing theirs up to the stall and plugging in all the kitchen things they need into the outlets in the bed.
