Microsoft hasn't finished acquiring Github. They are still two totally separate companies.

The deal with Github has not even closed yet. It is supposed to close by EOY. Internally we don't even get free/discount licenses or anything yet. We aren't supposed to operate any differently with them until it closes. Sourc

I asked a bunch of people and they all agreed. I didn't run a study or anything :) But when ~20 people all agree it does say something. I'm not saying doing it is right, just saying it is at least somewhat common.

My wife owns a Model 3 and I had the same thought going in, but after using it for a couple months it isn't a problem at all and actually I prefer it FAR more than my 2018 Audi A4 interface for example. Almost all of what you want to d

Ask, don't scoff? Also to be fair, Slack's implementation of threads is awful. Probably their most poorly done feature in my mind. If there is already a lively topic ongoing in a room and I need to jump in with another topic, I wr

Going through all of your channels you don't need immediate updates from and doing /mute will go a long way to getting the silence you want. People can still @mention you to get your attention if needed. You can check muted channe

HipChat had some major uptime issues. I have friends who experienced whole day outages at their companies. I hear a lot of people on HN say it was "Just IRC" and I'm always surprised by that. If IRC was so compelling then why

The context switch isn't bad (admittedly it is more). The touch panel has almost everything you would want to do commonly in only two taps. Navigation: The cognitive load is very high on both vehicles. Using dials and buttons on my Aud

No, it comes with two credit card "keys" that you keep in your wallet. They are RFID and you brush them next to the door or center console to unlock and start. Think of them like traditional manual keys.

If you're the kind of person who drives a manual by choice I have a feeling you won't be sold on it. If you're a lover of traditional cars and their feel, then it'll be a culture shock. The Model 3 doesn't have to b

I definitely miss the sound of the engine. It is incredibly satisfying. But the feeling of instantly being thrown back into your seat and have buttery smooth acceleration the whole way (no gear shifting) feels amazing. My S4 was definitely

I just bought an 2018 Audi A4 ($47k) and my wife just bought a Model 3 ($54k). I previously owned an S4 which (roughly $56k). I also test drove a few 4-series BMWs and few random Mercedes in the same price range. TL;DR: I would take the Mod

My Echo somehow woke up when we were in another room, then heard itself talking to itself, and called my friend in the middle of the night. You can see the log of what it said and how it heard the last word as the command: https:/&#x2

Yeah, I misspoke. It's a card not a fob. Like others said, it isn't a valet/guest card. It is actually the main "key" to your car in addition to your phone.

by mdeeks 8y ago
I think you misunderstood. He is saying the feature where it recognizes your phone is near the car and unlocks wasn’t working. The key fob and opening the app manually still work.

That is actually pretty scary from a security perspective because of SSRF attacks. Basically if I can get your service to make an HTTP request on my behalf then I can get at your secrets. Suppose you have a service that fetches snippets fro

That was one of them, yes. There have been a few. November was roughly when the mainstream craze started and there were everyday people like barbers getting into it and putting their mortgage payments in.

That is close to an eternity in the cryptocurrency world right now. November is around when the hockey stick up started. The market cap roughly quadrupled in the next month or two after that. All of that is gone now.

It is probably an ELB that fronts multiple VMs that they cycle through. Also, that is only their website. I'm sure they have more infrastructure than just the VMs that host their web app. It is quite easy to have a single unchanging IP

Thanks for confirming. So then there is nothing at all of substance in this article.

I don't even know what could be "validated" that an attacker couldn't fake. The only real validation that can be done is if the certificate is valid for the domain.

Can someone define what is considered a weak vs strong password now for WiFi? The only guides I found online are years old. Is 10 characters considered weak for mixed case letters, numbers, plus punctuation now?

The native app gives you a red badge when there are unread items which I find super useful. I also like that I can cmd+tab to it without having to fish for the right tab in Chrome. Sometimes I completely close Chrome and forget that Slack i

Strongly seconding this. Finding Brave on Android was a huge moment for me. The mobile web is downright unusable on Chrome in Android and there are no good non-root options for ad blocking. Firefox is dog slow (sorry FF), Opera crashes on m

Is there an automated version of this somewhere? I'd love to be able to plug in my numbers (age, income, expenses, etc) and have recommendations pop out.
