I remember writing a tool that blared a siren wav every time someone connected to your network share. It would be quiet at the start of a round, and then as people died you'd hear sirens going off left and right. Remains one of the few

By definition as long as your mobile phone is a mobile phone it's a tracking device. You can turn it off just like you can turn your car off

Are you seriously considering that your phone tracks you less than your car?

Even the stuff that used to be entirely consumer-oriented are now data harvesters. Want to protect your car from being stolen? Put in several GPS chips that will help us locate it - but until you need it, those chips are basically geolocati

HN when legacy PHP is involved: PHP was a bad idea! No real coders would use it! It needs dramatic changes! HN when modern PHP is involved: PHP8 was a bad idea! They shouldn't have gotten rid of the legacy stuff!

This will be the case until trains are cheaper than airfare. AMS to FCO is around $100 by air. The train from Frankfurt to Basel alone is that price and about a quarter of the journey.

What you are describing is not full stack, it's backend development. Full-stack adds the front-end, and that's why you won't find js devs that can configure nginx, because they've been surfing on that "full" pa

In the last few years (or in the first few), not much. But there was a time where Firefox was difficult to recommend for performance reasons - I think it's right when they switched XUL iirc. To me that's what afforded the then-com

Totally. In most things, you need to have the ability to trust that users will make (or at least see) the right choice even over multi-million marketing initiatives. Given today's people and today's marketing, I'd say we&#x27

This is a crisis of our own making. You don't want Google taking decisions for the web at large? Then don't let them own 85% of the browser market share. When that's the case they don't need W3C or anything to implement
