“We are all temporarily abled.” Good reminder to make things accessible by default, for the vast majority that can benefit from it. Tyler, I'd pay 5€ for this app btw.

And, clearly, all the mass surveillance in the USA has worked wonders to stop key political figures from engaging in pedophilia and other shenanigans. It's been 100% successful. We must do it in Europe, lest the children be harmed. You

We really have _plenty_ of identity theft, personalised scams (hi Tess' mom!), accounts hacked, large scale photo leaks, etc. People just a) don't hear about it enough, or b) quickly move on to the next crisis with their hands up

We can point to how data brokerage/mining/analysis is being used to undermine democracies, sway elections, manipulate consumers into purchases they wouldn't make, change the pricing or even denial of coverage for insurance, a

Damn competitive? In Europe? Dad's friend is a mechanic and the quotes he's heard of for Tesla repairs are all but preposterous. He's a little biased since he works for a competitor, but also does repairs on the side and Tesl

Of course this means importing a ton of new libs and frontend code just to render billing. It's the same with the dependency on, say, Next. It's too many moving parts, could've been done without tying yourselves down to speci

I have the same issue, but I also think their extension model is simply not cutting it. I run both Orion and Brave with uBlock, and the Orion experience is basically Safari's pitfalls + a slightly broken extension model. Then again 1Pa

Hmm, I did switch to Safari from Firefox because I couldn't put up with how slow everything felt. Ironically I now find Safari quite laggy, whereas Orion or Brave with uBlock make for a better experience. I do agree most people either

This is precisely the point of the article. I mean, it's right there at the top in that weird arrow-shaped infographic. It's _almost_ always a management issue.

I think GP means NASA's 10 rules, but these are specifically for C development in mission-critical systems. There's been the odd software issue at NASA, but supposedly their 10 rules should make C projects much safer.

The jab at NoSQL made me snort-laugh, well done. You forgot to mention the 25 thousand npm dependencies.

I think that if you explain it properly, most people would be concerned. Privacy is a nebulous term, but what does it enable? The right to be yourself, to expose what you want, to take back mistakes, to keep for yourself somethings that you

Security is oft done in layers. Podman is just another layer that might fail. There's no such thing as the perfect solution.

This looks really interesting, but it sounds like it's as complicated to setup as rootless Podman — which is to say not _that_ complicated. Anyone using this with Node or Deno successfully?

IIRC the Flemish bus system is profitable. So is the public train company, even if marginally so. What I dislike about GP's comment is that it obfuscates that mostly it's the lower classes that ride the bus, and paying it with far

Generally that seems to be true u less we're talking about removing cruft that wasn't needed. Yearly front-end rewrites are quite the joke, but they also reveal that the team didn't really get the underlying assumptions corre

I don't disagree with most of your message, but it seems lack of sunlight is as much (or more) to blame. You can use dark mode AND go outside as much as possible. The blue light emitted by a screen is no substitute for the ball of fusi

I'm very sensitive to caffeine and get jittery and anxious around the 80mg mark. But I also adore coffee and keep ramping up. Eventually I'm at 240mg per day and can't actually function, I'm just a terrible person that d

Reeder on iOS is great. Anything that's good for RSS should be enough. RSS and other syndication options remain excellent, thankfully we haven't lost these things.

If this is true, I'll owe you a beer. Or 50. But honestly, if it were that simple wouldn't they think of it? Say, "only applies to politicians with a seat in parliament"?

Well… I had friends working in research or drafting advice that ends up in the hands of policy-makers. And while these people are motivated and want to do their job well, I disagree that they're providing the best advice. Politicians d

We don't editorialise titles but this is a good case for renaming the post to that of the paper or something like it. “Why the top consulting firms fire consultants” is a very different topic.

They could implement something, say, let's call it Beer. It'd be like Wine but for running good Linux apps on Windows.

Truly non-risk cookies were already exempt from the cookie banner. In fact, the obnoxious consent-forcing cookie banners are themselves in violation of the law. It's ironic that instead of enforcement we dumb it all down for the data g

This would require politicians and policy-makers that think long-term, know what they're regulating, and maybe have been in the field. I don't think Law school Eurocrats can do any of the 3 items above, at least not well enough. T

Thanks for saying that. Even when I ran every day — with the occasional VO2max sprint day —, my Apple Watch never placed me anywhere but Below Average for VO2max. It was disheartening. Some of these metrics actually put you off training.

Yeah, was it ever safe or is this nostalgia? The few times I've managed servers directly I'd get hit a few hundred times per day in a number of obvious, non-existent URLs or existing URLs but with invalid payloads. Using Cloudflar

Okay, you're actually right and I was dumb to think power users wouldn't find the features anyway.
