I work on the CMS side of banking, where promotions and current rates are posted regularly. All actual banking is done through a first-party link to external systems. The amount of scrutiny and regular application scanning for vulnerabiliti

I am with you, customizing your daily tools and saving those configurations is far different from customizing every visual element of your operating system. Being able to reproduce your environment is definitely a worthy goal, but at the sa

I appreciate your response, and I have spoken out against using animation for anything that contains text or can be distracting to anyone (like a shifting pattern beneath static text). I try to talk people out of using carousels, but unfort

Unfortunately, for a small business, there are many software packages that can cause all sorts of havoc on an internal network, and are simple to install. Even just ARP cache poisoning on an internal network can force everyone offline, whil

I can tell you that there are still quite a few of us out here that are doing the once a year manual renewal. I have suggested a plan to use Let's Encrypt with automated renewal, but for some companies, they are using old technology an

I am sympathetic to what you are saying, but as far as using animation to attract business, you are in the lowest percentage of people that would make a purchase (as well as being on HN, you are probably far below a tenth of a percent for a

Yes, lmz < https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lmz > pointed out that I had mixed up Dave Plummer and Dave Cutler. There are actually multiple videos that Dave Plummer has done with Dave Cutler, which I found very inte

I 100% agree with you, and don't set cron jobs/scheduled tasks this way. I only use this for displaying date/time to users. With that said, I do appreciate the comment, and would have to make sure that if I run scheduled task

You are correct, thank you. Dave Cutler has apparently done many guest spots on Dave's Garage, so many that I confused their names! Appreciate the correction, so I can perform some better searches of Dave Cutler, having only looked int

As someone who is very much into heavily distorted guitar with long feedback loops, I appreciate your comment (especially for the insight). I'm a huge fan of doom/stoner/sludge/psychedelic metal (and all variations of th

Sounds like a company that has enough high paying legacy clients that they still offer a bit of support, but want that free open source work without improving it to make that work easier to complete.

His series on YouTube, Dave's Garage, has really helped me to conceptualize Operating Systems in the past that I used, but didn't really fully understand. I started with Atari DOS, but moved to the 286 roughly around the time it s

If you need to worry about ADA compliance (I always do, but not always paid to), this can be difficult to address. I remember Opera, before it was bought, had the best support for html5 elements and date/time inputs were the best (alon

For this case, I will often ask for the timezone, since that data is often updated on the operating system, but I don't believe it's often for someone to be in the same location and have their timezone change. The software that I&

Interested in what you are doing with the iframes. Something with complex authentication? I've been forced to use iframes a few times for 3rd party resources that should have been first-party (mostly with banks and credit unions), and

Thank you for your reply, that makes quite a bit more sense to me!

Inkscape makes so much more sense to me than Adobe Illustrator ever made. Maybe it's how I use it, or what I'm looking for as output, but I've been happy with Inkscape since around 2006/2007.

I think it depends on how much control you feel you want to have over your output. AI tools are decent at rendering video, but for those that want full control over the process, I feel like it's going to be a long way to go. If AI is a

I personally think you're both right, but it depends on when you first started using Blender. You're 100% correct that interfaces at the time when Blender was released were completely experimental, and I'd compare it to tryin

by progmetaldev 2y ago
Probably not at this point in time. Back when Blender was released, I think there was less reliance on third party libraries (in general), but especially those that would complicate releasing the software as open source later. I don't

I thought I would ask, does this mean that memory restricted environments can be a better target for attack than one with a large amount of memory available? In my mind it seems like this would be the case, but I'm not sure if there is

I see most comments concentrated on employment. For a scam, think of someone that has been told they have a specific genetic disease, and that information is available in their DNA "data". As a scammer, I can start to send you inf

I'm not sure if there are any current laws that prevent this, but there are quite a few laws that would prevent an advertising company from getting this information. Like most things, if we're going by a company that doesn't

For myself, I think it's just as much how to word things properly to most effectively get your point across, as it is to be ready if your report has some kind of backlash or isn't seen the way you meant it. You need to be mentally

I'm not sure how deeply involved you've gotten into homesteading, and whether you are doing anything in the IT world, but if you are still a bit connected to IT then I'd suggest scratching an itch you have with software. Perh

Unless they are focused on decreasing bloat, I don't think that this will happen. There are lots of utilities and other software that still uses GTK2. I doubt that GIMP was the last tool left to prevent dropping GTK2. I found this from

I would say absolutely not, for something that is actually run as static. How many websites could run as static, versus the clients that pay for those websites that believe they need to make a change at any time without going back to their

This is also my experience. If you are dealing with clients that can pay to have their content cached, and not hit the originating server, that's great. To me, that sounds like what Cloudflare offers. Unless you have the ability to pus

When it comes specifically to Cloudflare, it does not have to be this way. A site operator can choose to set their own rules for triggering CAPTCHAs, it's just that most don't actually bother to learn about the product they'r

Nirvana were influenced by some large bands that are still around to this day, like The Melvins. Nirvana just happened to have tweaked their sound and been in the right place at the right time. I do enjoy Nirvana, but bands like The Melvins
