From my (limited) experience watching folks at the roulette table, I think there are two kinds of players. There's the players making small bets, they win a bit, lose a bit, and at the end of the day they may go home with a bit more or

OpenSSH by default tries authenticating with all your identities. You should probably turn that off too.

Doesn't OpenSSH by default also send all your public keys to the server to see if it accepts any of them? That would allow the server operator to identify you if you aren't careful.

What is the difference between a function and a procedure to you? I assume it's not just about whether something returns a value or not. The only language I use that differentiates between functions and procedures is PostgreSQL, and to

You are both wrong. Air resistance increases quadratically with speed, not cubically. And you mixed up polynomial with exponential. Quadratic: x^2 Cubic: x^3 Polynomial (eg. 3rd degree): a + b x + c x^2 + d x^3 Exponential: e^x

Almost all ebikes are limited to 25km/h here, which is a reasonable speed in my opinion. It makes cycling accessible to everyone regardless of fitness level or hills, but it also ensures that ebikes go at a similar speed as most other

Which is stupid, since people who look for a cheap used option aren't going to buy a new product at full price anyway. They are going to buy a cheaper product from another company, and then you have lost them as a potential future cust

In my time as an ambulance driver I was surprised how many accidents were caused by people just not looking at the road! I'd wonder, how could two cars collide like that, and the only explanation I could find was that the drivers just

The only explanation for this valuation is that Rivian is pretty much exactly what people wanted in a Tesla pickup. Rivian managed to build a car that people actually want. Their car is a really great pickup truck with all the stuff that pe

> you have to show the full price with fees, you can't just show the ticket price The most ridiculous consequence of that is that Ryan Air started charging for cabin luggage. So they show the "full price", but only in the

The problem is that the effect only works if my preferred option is still available. Example 1: Only my size is in stock. I will try to order quickly. I'm fortunate that noone with my size shopped before. Example 2: I click on an item,

Was it a HP printer? HP last year managed to accidentally revoke their macOS code signing certificate. I'm not sure how much software was affected, but as far as I know all HP software for Mac, including printer drivers, was broken (CR

I think she inadvertently made a different point, which is that even experienced developers sometimes misunderstand the problem and make mistakes. Or an even better argument: you don't need to actually understand the problem to fix it,

This is probably the only thing a young, self-taught dev could do to impress me. If you put some projects on your Github profile, I am going to assume that they are either crap or copy-pasted from somewhere else. If you are self-taught and

Some governments even force you to put insulation on your home or they won't give you a permit to build it! And then they only let you install an energy efficient furnace! And evil EU even forced appliance manufacturers to stop selling

Nuclear energy may not release CO2 into the atmosphere, but that doesn't make it clean and sustainable: - you need to store radioactive waste for hundreds of years - "safe" permanent storage sites often end up not not being a

Instead of complaining that RAM updates are so expensive, we could frame it as "Apple takes a lower margin on entry level configurations so they can offer the same quality hardware to price concious consumers".

Putting more of your application logic in the middleware is great for middleware vendors. It's pretty much impossible to migrate to a competitor.

My guess is that average individual brain size and intelligence just isn't as important in collaborative society. Once you start sharing knowledge (orally at first, written later), you don't need everyone to figure everything out
