Most people describe a package room with individual lock boxes for each parcel. I was at a place where the room had restricted access (you had a one-time code and a camera scanned you as you entered). Inside was all of the packages. The

Holy jeez are there benefits to OpenSSH over PuTTY. I have to walk end users through setting up PuTTY. Since configuration uses the registry and there are no import/export configs I have to walk them through the UI, which is a mess (

I think one part is finding the right domain for innovative UI. I often see a weird UI on a tool I use once a year for a couple minutes. I would very much prefer it use the OS default, clunky UI everything else has even if it's less

I wanted to point out the different "levels" between your own local git repo and GitLab/GitHub. If you're by yourself, a local git repo is great. "One step up," would be a remote git repo you push/pull t

I'm a bit more pessimistic there will be a backlash. I've also been surprised how much a properly motivated non-techie can be. I've seen a few grandmothers who live far away purchase and setup a web cam and learn software I

It reminds me of the George Carlin bit, "Save the planet? The planet will be fine. We're the ones that are screwed."

Thanks for bringing up the non-techie example. Another bummer with the user generating keys, you can't validate a passphrase was used (or that a good one was used) when you just get a public key.

That's not how I read your analogy. If the tax situation made him move countries, is that country better off without their contribution? Would resolving the tax situation make that country more desirable to contribute to?

Apple Maps now shows a "Share ETA." You can slide up from the arrival time to find it after setting a destination, but it also popped up pretty prominently a few times. The only bummer (the only time I've tried to use it) i

I think it's one of those tools that everyone has their own niche use. These are for Home, not for Shortcuts or Personal automation, but my wife tends to leave the floor heaters on. So I have an automation that turns them off at 10am

I'd love for someone to chime in with specifics, but I'm pretty sure it's both--depending on the feature. I remember reading a story where Spotify either bought or sued an app that allowed streaming to the Apple Watch (it may

At least in the US I've noticed pre-brewed iced tea has often switched to some sort of flavored tea (or a fountain drink). My best guess from working at a place that had pre-brewed tea is that they're hard to keep clean and peopl

The truth is single-use plastics are very useful in certain applications. Sanitation and reducing food waste likely outweigh the cost. I do think it's great we're being more thoughtful in our consumption and thinking more about

Admittedly, I was venting over inaction of the taxi industry to innovate. While I do think other competitors, like Lyft, can do those things I'm skeptical if the legacy industry could catch up even if the way has been paved. I imagin

Like others have said, the pushback came from saying it was happening, not that it was plausible. As well as refusing to pull the story or clarify the details. I also swear I had read articles months/years before that companies like A

I understand Equifax did not hire the Settlement Administrator. I still see Settlement Administrator as an intermediary for the Equifax legal case. Like you are saying, the parties here are the plaintiffs, defendants, and the legal system

I guess I just put more responsibility on Equifax itself even if these actions were through an intermediary of theirs. This makes me think of the Tylenol tampering in the early 80's [1]. Johnson & Johnson's response wasn&#x2

I guess we disagree both on that this article was misleading and that Equifax doesn't deserve the blame. Equifax had a lot of say in how this settlement played out. My guess is their legal team is trying to reduce the number of cash c
