Awesome feature. The first thing that comes to mind for me is fraud. Most obviously, what guarantees are in place that when I go to one of these links, that the seller company is who they say they are? I assume Stripe audits their custome

Thank you, that explanation makes sense. IMO you should get a preview (with options for changing the rendering), and you can go from that to the system dialog. Instead of combining them.

Maybe I'm irrational, but it's one of the things that makes me real hesitant about where I deploy TOTP. Sometimes my cellphones randomly have a wildly wrong time -- a misbehaving (or malicious) cell-tower perhaps? And sometimes

I find Arturia's products -- hardware and software -- wonderful to use. My Drumbrute Impact is just so fun. I got "Pigments" and it is incredibly fun for crafting sounds; just a beautiful UX.

I'm not sure of all the history, but it feels to me like there were two cute ideas of the classic shell metaphor that we never quite achieved, and anyway we've totally outgrown: 1. That the shell's user is "in" a lo

Browsers are too big and the web is too complex. Engineering failures all around. As engineers, we should not accept this status quo; we should replace it. We need a new web and new software.

> a site misbehaves and locks things up Why/how can this happen? That sounds like a bad failure of the browser.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. Those were some of my favourite softwares. Inspired design.

I hope this ransomware called itself the Da Vinci virus? Because this sounds a whole lot like the plot of Hackers [1]. The greatest movie of all time, btw. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film)

I do love "informational" command-line tools like this. I refer to `ascii` [1] regularly (although [2] is my favourite website... nothing is so accessible as a tool on my command-line!) Anyone know of other command-line info-dum

The link here is http (not https). The site does provide https, but it's with a self-signed certificate, so my firefox complains loudly. Or perhaps I'm being MITM'd ;) Curious for a network engineer!?

Not sure why this is downvoted. Wikipedia says that Tamagotchi was initally marketed exclusively to teenage girls, whereas Digimon -- made by the same creators -- was deliberately aimed at the male audience. https://en.wikipedia

Have you played the FF7 Remake? More than anything, it feels a lot more immersive to me than the original.

I don't really understand the question because they both seem so essential to me. I'd say very often the ride cymbal keeps your basic groove. Especially in latin-jazz, if it's a swing or salsa pattern or whatever, the ride

This hits home for me.... it was an unspoken dream of mine to apply to join VPRI, motivated by a side-project that I believed falls under their interests. I never did apply. Which was probably the right call; I was naive, lacking any rele

Yes, because it is all those things (which are bad) and just a bit worse. Do you disagree?
