Considering all mothballed APIs still supported in modern browsers I'd say it's accurate.

AFAIK this already exists. It's used for segmenting frequency ranges in places with a lot of wireless pollution. For example; if you have a large building with a ton of access points and networks you might want to limit the interferenc

Pomodoro is a way to gamify and time box your working hours into effective chunks. I wouldn't call that "placebo".

Guilty as in you developed one of those apps? I'd be really curious to hear about the product timeline in that case. Did it get any traction? Was it monetized somehow? I've always been curious.

Is this really true though? If you ramp up multiple short positions under a few weeks from a lot of different accounts, how would you tell? I'm assuming TWTR is a pretty busy stock.

It's true, but maybe not impossible to pull off. The exploit could've been purchased by people deeply connected and organized. If you split your investment and divert it enough, it will be impossible to differentiate from all the

That would be so incredibly stupid. Burning a money machine of that magnitude for lulz? I don't think anyone would do that.

Is it just me, or does this seem suspiciously poorly thought out? Perhaps there is a second stage involving stock plays. The BTC thing might be a diversion. Or we are incredibly lucky and the exploit was found by people with really bad fore

It feels like "agile" is such an overloaded word these days. In most settings it just means a specific workflow centered around Scrum or to a lesser extent Kanban. The only true difference from old school waterfall and month long

Very true. It seems closely related to the problem with qualia, which I've always thought of similarly. Instinctively it seems impossible to describe the color green to someone who has never seen it. Seeing it seems to add "someth

Simple solution for those who are security minded: physically break the built in mic and camera through some precision hammer and needle work, and connect peripherals when you need em. I'm half serious.

But even then, are you sure the computer whose PCB you tested hasn't been swapped or modified since then? That Chinese operatives didn't splinter cell it while you were out grocery shopping?

(unrelated, obligatory ad rant) They really make it hard to resist ad blockers. I cannot concentrate on the text with everything blinking and new ads loaded in constantly. Such a death spiral to try to compensate for low ad revenue by makin

Oh fun! So now we can have browser inconsistencies for desktop apps as well? Jokes aside; looks interesting! Does it bundle plain text assets, or does it obfuscate/compile the dependencies?

You are probably correct, I must've misunderstood. Thank you.

Krita is an excellent piece of software. A year ago I transitioned from the Adobe suite to FOSS. To replace Illustrator, Inkscape was perfect, but it took a while before I found a good Photoshop replacement. Tried GIMP, Paint.NET and Seasho

It's different because it is much further removed from a centrally controlled dumpster fire. The JS, Node and NPM ecosystem is a pain on so many levels. Blindly trusting developers to follow semver by default. Leftpad. Build toolchains

Never underestimate an IT departments ability to not give a fuck. I once got a bug report from a colleague complaining about our website not working in Firefox. I couldn't reproduce it locally, so I got to her computer and realized tha

Intriguing sleuthing. I'd add that both accounts have very similar grammar style. Good vocabulary, but with odd grammatical errors. All incidental of course, but still. I believe your theory. Embarrassing and slightly pathetic if true.

That's barely the case any more. The amount of gig-economy wage slavery in all countries is sky rocketing. No country is really spared. You can find people everywhere who are juggling e-scooter, ride share, food delivery etc jobs at an

I suppose you could do it for the top level application code, but all past definitions of libraries must remain. That's the thing that allows safe updates of shared dependencies.

I'm guessing language purity is important when it comes to this. Translating the "unison way" to an imperative world of statefulness and random side effects could be rough.

Hurr durr. I fully agree that the microservice architecture is abused and overused to all hell, but it is still valid in a lot of cases. It is a separate discussion, and I believe you know that.

Well, in this case the remote server would be your phone. The switching part would be plugging it in.
