From the top of my head: beans. Canned fish (mackerel, sardines). Oats. Nuts/nut butters (ok, these are not that cheap).

If I am not sure whether an email is legitimate or not, then I just ignore it assuming that if it is something real and important, then the other party will find a way to contact me (send another email, call me, approach me in person etc.).

So the real issue here is not emails or autoresponders, but lack of IT security knowledge among employees. Hence, do (mandatory) trainings or something.

I agree with you that under these circumstances autoresponses could be a security risk. But then I'd better fix the underlying security problem(s) and let everyone use autoresponders if they wish to.

Sorry, still not clear to me. - Whom the would-be attackers send this email to? - Do they send this email from their own email address? - Is there an assumption that sysadmin/support team will blindly reset a password on someone else&#

So the attacker gets autoresponse. What's next? What is the attack vector here? UPD: also, I guess any attacker could just assume that you're Out of Office at night time.

Yeah, Kotlin pretty much killed Lombok.

I just wanted to say that Racket docs are the best docs I have ever seen. It feels they document everything -- so much detail. Treasure trove of knowledge. Thanks guys!

In my experience, the problem is always in people, not tools. Nowadays, Agile/Scrum is a buzz word, every company is trying to get it, but rare people understand it. They buy tools (like JIRA), they do standups, they assign story point

I really want to use Safari, but for me the deal breaker is the fact that Safari doesn't seem to block pop-ups properly. Yes, they've changed it in the latest version. I have Block and Notify option selected in Privacy tab. But ma

Can't see where this 'magic' comes from. IoC frameworks are not rocket science. Everything is very-well documented and pretty straightforward. > dependency injection frameworks are an unnecessary and overcomplicated way of

I always thought it came from the well-known 'Purely Functional Data Structures' by Chris Okasaki.

For me the darkest place I have ever been to was Abbey Caves in New Zealand. But I think almost any cave would work. Obviously, you can see no sky from there though. But still... The darkness there was surreal. It was thick and you could al

But what's the point? First, they have mass, hence travel slower than the speed of light, which means they are less effective. Second, it is very hard to detect neutrinos, which means they are very bad communication medium.

What worked for me: read Norvig's tutorials (How to write lisp). It gives basic understanding. Then continue enhancing that tiny language, add more features. Start with an interpreter, they are easier to grasp. You can always add a co

Honestly, I don't really understand why we are getting posts like this one. People don't post 'How I deleted my Github account', right? So what's the big deal? Is it some kind of accomplishment and people expect pra

That is what concerns me: if they can't afford a house, then why don't they buy an apartment? There are apartments in Auckland for $300-400k, which is even cheaper than affordable KiwiBuild houses ($500-650k).

by kovrik 8y ago
The thing I don't get though is: why build houses? Why not apartment complex? That'll be much cheaper and much more effective.

Yes, when I first started living in NZ I was baffled by completely alien culture and the way of living. But then I began to understand it, like it, enjoy it (to some extent)! And I respect people if they choose to live this way, not fight f

Yes, you are right and I don't disagree with you. I understand this. And I really love New Zealand, no regrets moving here at all! That is just my view on such policies. As you might have guessed, I'm not a labourist.

My opinion may be controversial, but I never understood this logic... I live in New Zealand at the moment. I am not Kiwi though, my wife and I moved from Russia. And I disagree. First, stats show that foreign buyers own ~3% of homes. Everyt

Yes. Looks like it is becoming a common thing with all that startup hype.

As far as I know, things like: changing gc-cons-threshold, setting file-name-handler-alist to nil, adjusting some jit-lock-* values. And using deferred package loading.

Dumb question: is there any difference (in terms of costs and effect) between solar panels and solar furnaces? I mean, say you have N square meters of solar panels. If I understand it correctly, then it doesn't matter whether you make

But that is my point: if host language doesn't have feature X, you still can implement that feature yourself, can't you? If host language is untyped, then write your own type system. Another example: Java has no co-routines, has n

Ok, maybe I'm missing something, I'm not C nor Objective-C dev but... Language is just a specification, right? Which is just a document. Then you have to implement that language using that spec: interpreter, compiler, VM, runtime,
