My humble advice for this situation. It might seem over the top. If you think its excessive you likely don't know the scope of how deep the rabbit hole goes. For those trying, don't do this alone. Addiction of any kind is real and

Stopped buying storage appliances when my old drobo went out of support. Now I get a suitable case, fill it with drives and go from there. Even a usb tower with ten drives is far more preferable than some proprietary linux derivative with a

Not disagreeing but I feel like calling this "low brow" journalism lowers the bar. We're better off not calling these people "journalists" at all. Part of being a journalist is about having journalistic integrity -

Its just about same anything . Simple guilt-by-association is a real thing for google at least. You have an employee who's deemed by google as a bad app developer? That can impact the business that employs them even if its an unrelate

I dread doing business with these mega-companies. Its like dealing with a fickle god of chaos. Completely dystopian even if you follow the rules. Even worse if one of the daemons decides you broke a commandment and pits you into purgatory o

Interestingly, its good to be uncommon. In my household, the one who cooks does not wash up the plates etc. We don't have a dishwasher. Many hands make light work. We call this "social cleaning".

An apology should actually contain admission of wrongdoing and an attempt at making amends, as well as an honest undertaking to not repeat that wrongdoing. UoM got caught doing wrong. Their "why" doesn't help because their ac

I'm guessing its a committee of people almost operating just via a checklist, questions and their own general/specialist experience. They aren't necessarily specialists in what is being considered and are just there to provid

I remember as a kid marvelling at the thought of thousands of dollars. Imagine how much chocolate you could buy! Then I started dealing in thousands and my sense of scale increased. Hundreds of thousands because of property. Then you deal w

For me, ideal pixel density is when I can draw a 45 degree line with high contrast, eg white on black, and there are no blocky pixels visible. No stepping at all. Even better is the density where pixels effectively disappear altogether. Sam

I think banning them for now is appropriate. Its a shot across their bow to let them know they have done something wrong. Moving forward if it was me I'd later re-evaluate such a wide ban because of the collateral damage. But at the sa

I like this sort of thing. "The general idea is that the application code contains default values for all configuration keys, defaults that can be overruled by a config file read from disk at application startup. " This should be

I didn't read this bit: "The IRB of University of Minnesota reviewed the procedures of the experiment and determined that this is not human research. We obtained a formal IRB-exempt letter" Um. Ok.

It would be fascinating to see the ethics committee exemption. I sense there was none. Or is this kind of experiment deemed fair game? Red vs blue team kind of thing? Penetration testing. But if it was me in this situation, I'd ban the

(Re)Searching for a new tool in the way described sounds more like a form or variant of procrastination. Especially spending 50 hours researching the best tool then not using it more than five hours. The whole exercise was a distraction. Th

If I was a paying advertiser I'd be angry that customers didn't know about my internet business, especially when the customer buys 10k in parts from a bunch of other suppliers and not me. Its advertisers that should be angry.

Rant ON. Third party cookies are surveillance tech. So is FLoC. There is no need to track a person from one web site to another like some stalker. Any tech to stalk people like this isn't a good idea in general. This is antithesis to m

I find the "I disagree with you so I'll downvote you" approach to comments is quite useless. Should require a comment in the very least if you have any concept of adding value. Especially in political discussions I've se

Excellent article. Explanation of CORS from basic to functional. Includes console examples. Crystal server examples. What's not to like? I do see a few typos where the caffeine ran out. Not an issue though.

My sense is that this is one of those tools whose descriptions sounds like something unusable until you actually use it and then it likely becomes indespensible for experimentation and particular tasks. Its got elements of a giant remix of
