It also helps when trying to put limits on greedy users or maintain a ban-list. Attribution is also important, like you said. Granted, an abusive user could just keep creating new keys, but if they require something like email verification

Just checked using a camera and you're right; a person right around "conversation distance" from the camera focusing at 35mm looks pretty natural in frame for a video call. It sounds like I underestimated modern continuous au

Amateur photographer looking to learn more here. My initial impression is that a 35mm focal length on a full-frame/35mm film equivalent sensor would have a relatively _wide_ field of view (FOV). Or do I have that backwards? My other th

Biggest issue I can think of is trying to do PWM _and_ WiFi work simultaneously on an esp8266. If you have, say, an esp8266 serving up a small webpage for control and don't want to add an external PWM board then you might notice interm

I realize documentation is only half the battle but I get a lot from using something like explainshell when I see unknown argument lists: https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=nmap+-Pn+-sT+-p-+--min-... This way you can read

I agree with your point on investing in a good IDE. In the Jetbrains family, a game changer for me was "tapping the shift key twice in quick succession". This brings up an input box that can fuzzy-find classes/structs, files,

I like your idea and agree that implementing it would improve outcomes for customers. However, the ISP would be on the hook for additional customer support; it's a lot more involved to outfit your call center staff with playbooks for e

I might be misunderstanding but doesn't the feature also help prevent home users' devices becoming part of a DDOS effort (high number of outbound connections)? There's stories here on HN about IoT devices and infected PCs&#x2

Definitely an instance of "to each their own" for me, starting a project in Audacity was refreshingly straightforward the first time I tried it. The non-destructive effect stacking mentioned in the video sounds pretty awesome. The
