It is a _phenomonal_ waste of money in licensing fees but MSSQL server can embed C# dlls and as a result run arbitrary code via its CLR integration

Firefox is legitimately not bad peformance/supportwise these days. Though, yes, they probably still get a bunch of money from Google.

Genius idea from lakera, but it was also fun, so its a fair trade imo.

I've found Sandbox to be an easy way to circumvent endpoint protection (s/w firewalls and the like). By design, its a sandboxed os without non-microsoft bloat. Itd be handy to easily be able to run a powershell script automaticall

Overall egress/the bandwidth fee structure is probably more an anticompetitive move hidden in plain sight... I've been directly involved in multiple systems being deployed on AWS solely to avoid egress fees

The link describes the anger, vitriol, awkward emails and response but nothing about what the policy is... (Seems to be a min 3 days per week in office)

I'm really curious how lobbying for something like this works in practice. I work with (non-us) government and while I don't doubt some background level of corruption, in experience there's always been an emphasis on document

This market already exists (I get spam offering customer lead lists every couple of days). I suspect most orgs of a reasonable size are already being bombarded similarly. Augmenting these lists with Twitter's data might improve/e

I'm in the long tail. I'll probably buy a couple of images, and likely a few more if they turn out to be useful. I'd never buy them via a non retail/contact us channel though.

You are not weak, you're battling against groups of some of the smartest people in the world who spend their days doing nothing other than figuring out ways to manipulate you to steal and keep your attention, in order to maximise their

Oh, I get it! you're saying that .net isn't a good language. haha great one.

Sure, but as others have said, how do you get column headers appearing on each page, put metadata into your documents, make elements properly selectable etc etc "Just run it as a container" is a bit of an industry cop-out for maki

Scale/performance. The interface is also straightforward to use. Puppeteer or any nonembedded process is just unnecessary hassle/overhead in a lot of cases.

It might be worthwhile mentioning somewhere that this is for mysql and postgres. While it does look really handy and well put together, unfortunately none of the tips in the book that I read before giving up are useful to someone using mssq

I can confirm at least one Australian retail bank uses this fingerprinting too. In the past two weeks I have been locked out of an online banking portal with team viewer being one of the signals used to try to verify a suspicious looking tr

Order and pay is the standard these days in Australia. It's pretty rare to find somewhere that has the menu but nothing else as a qr code (why not just look up the restaurant's website in that case?).

I'm not really sure what the point of the article is, though I don't see any relevance to the claim that it's a need. It may be a new addiction, but certainly the point can't be made that the 1980s (or any other time in

It depends on the venue and provider. A lot of pub type settings will have a note saying that orders placed within 5 min of one another will come out together. In my experience the more upmarket the place, the less likely they are to have

In my experience, they're like accountants and lawyers, eithet horrible or amazing (+never in between). Most people think they're useless, because they've never used a great one.

The followup link is imo a much better read. Also a mid 30s double-space person here. We exist!

Given their respective revenue, AMD's market cap does indicate they're crushing it. Their multiplier means that the market thinks highly of their ability to continue to grow.

In Australia employees provide a form to their employer which is basically "set aside tax from my pay as though this is my only source of income" vs "tax me at a higher rate". IIRC the wording on the form is simplified t

A bit of a side point but I'm a little amazed that using ssns as account ids is legal. The approach just seems to be asking for identity theft/fraud...

I keep reading that semiconductors are on the cusp of a downturn and that the earnings multiples for eg AMD and Intel stock are too high as a result. In contrast, there seems to be a crazy amount of investment going into fabs and improving

All three. Culturally, tall poppy syndrome prevents successful people from showing their success, and it is seen as a massive problem to fail. These two things alone make up a pretty chilling force. You have few good local VCs (though mayb

Although it's kinda buggy, I found Eastshade to fit your description well. Its a bit slower than an FPS but has a solid story in a well fleshed out world and doesn't involve any violence

The irony in paying cash instead of using your card is that you're likely training their model to be more likely to flag transactions as fraudulent. This sort of stuff is why explainable AI is IMO important. Assuming the CSR could see
