It's one message I struggle to convey to people I do code reviews for: don't make me understand it, make it more self explanatory so every reader does. (And, yes, I ask for it explicitly too) (I sometimes "ask" quest

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_medal_cou... , there are smaller countries performing better (Hungary, Bulgaria, for instance) and similarly as well.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_medal_cou... , it seems that many neighbouring countries who had similar schooling systems perform similarly or better "per capita" (Hungary with &

Hopefully, as a reader, you can see through the 90% and only really trust the 10% who provide factual reporting. As with any source, always question what you are being offered: is this video clip full, what preceded it, what followed it? Wh

This type of thinking is why we are heading in a direction of authoritarianism everywhere. And COVID was not "totalitarian enough"? Yet people were forbidden from leaving their homes for a time. It was really amazing what fear cou

This is where you might be "not getting it". A human can carefully weigh every word, every swipe of a brush, or every tone... weigh it for the emotional expression and connection it produces (frequently subconscious). Whereas AI a

I would imagine this is rather to whatever "blog engine" is used instead of the conscious choice of the author (even if they knew what they desire and what would qork better, it might not be their priority).

A better look at it is to say that they started allowing working from home. I've worked fully remotely in a couple of global remote-first company since 2006 for a decade-plus — it was my choice how I wanted to set up my working conditi

If you have to do any travel for work, a lightweight but fast portable machine that is easy to lug around beats any productivity gains from two machines (one much faster) due to the challenge of keeping two devices in sync.

More likely in an enterprise company using MS tooling (AD/Entra/Outlook/Teams/Office...) with "stringent" security settings. It gets ridiculous quickly, really.

If $20k is misspent by 1 in 100 employees, that's still $200 per employee per year: peanuts, really. Just like with "policing", I'd only focus on uncovering and dealing with abusers after the fact, not on everyone — givi

I always assumed that would be an average, meaning it takes 5s for some and 2h for others. Again, the actual quote is not specific enough, but that would be a very wild and easily dismissed claim.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a good study that supports either your or my view? FWIW, I've never been stopped by Anubis, so even if it's much more rarely implemented, that's still infinitely less than 5-10 captchas a da

We are obviously living a different Internet reality, and that's the whole point — we need numbers to really establish baseline truth. FTR, I am mostly browsing from Serbia using Firefox browser on a Linux or MacOS machine.

But for actual live users who don't see anything but a transient screen, Anubis is a better experience than all those pesky CAPTCHAs (I am bored of trying to recognize bikes, pedestrian crossings, buses, hydrants). The question is if t

It's the other way around for me sometimes — I've never had issue with Anubis, I frequently get it with CF-protected sites. (Not to mention all the sites which started putting country restrictions in on their generally useful inst

There is no need for being nasty, especially when you are wrong. More importantly, you didn't think it through: this is really what I am doing, but this executes a script which needs to have permissions to push certificates to another

I agree it's not going to be too bad, but I am not convinced it's going to be better either — that's what this thread is about :) In other words, it is "fine" today too, and nobody has really measured how risky al

Not trivially without inventing my own tools: or are you suggesting this can be done with certbot itself? Also, note that once everyone is "forced" to switch to automation, many will be doing it wrong just the same (probably even

I am not even sure I buy the automation increases security posture claim. When I was automating my own LetsEncrypt cert updates, I had to effectively expose my DNS API keys to the same runtime environment as the ACME client (I could have cr

These are different points. Just like you state a variable and some operations on it early in a comprehension, you do the same in a for loop: you don't know the type of it. As you are typing the for loop in, your IDE does not know wh

That one is a generator[Any], and for others it could be set[Any], list[Any] or dict[Any]. You obviously don't get embedded type information, but you still do get the encapsulating type, which is better than an untyped for loop :) I g

A good contractor renovating your bathroom should also question some of your choices: - do you really want the toilet to be facing the door so you are exposed when the door opens - what's the height you want your sink/mirror/
