Grains of sand? Easy! Want a real challenge? Try naming all the numbers between 0 and 1! I've been at it for weeks and struggling to get much past 0.

Perhaps not about the security of basic auth per se, but if you are using basic auth then setting up mfa is a little more painful as you first need to migrate all your API access to tokens before you can change to mfa. If you're alread

This seems quite a common complaint, but gmail has always been pretty snappy for me. I wonder what causes the variability?

Load times seem very variable. Loading any label (from 10s to 10,000s of emails) is <1 sec for me.

Surely it is the person/company doing the hiring who has the say in what is and isn't required for the position? Assuming the interviewer isn't doing something that's blatantly illegal ("Do you plan on having childr

And the number of readers who just aren't that bothered (and are even less bothered about getting in to an argument on the internet about it).

That's a pretty cynical interpretation. To me it seems more like they took an easy engineering approach when the cost per API call was low, then when the price went up they re-designed their software to use API calls more frugally by u

You can say "don't panic" without misleading people by using numbers completely out of context. By comparing the number of Corona virus cases and deaths to the annual flu deaths he is implying that the number of deaths from C

I don't think it's necessarily an attitude problem, I think it's a fairly inherent part of writing libraries and APIs. You always need to make trade offs between complexity (or lack of) and correctness, the authors of the go

It's a pretty simple little python script, though obviously you then run the risk that it's no longer running in x years time when you actually need it. import ssl import OpenSSL from datetime import datetime cert = ss

Call me cynical, but this seems like little more than an attention grabbing paper aiming to leverage press coverage to increase the authors' fame.

Depreciating things takes a long time. It could be 10 years before 'that guy' in your office gets it in to his head that SHA-1 isn't appropriate where security is concerned. Thus you want to make it unambiguous that now is a

Sorry if you're being sarcastic and it's totally gone over my head, but if you're not processing personal data you don't need to explain all the ways you don't process personal data. Otherwise you might as well expl

While I agree with your point Im not sure toe patches are the best example, shoes like the Five Ten V10 and the dragons had big toe patches well before the instincts came out.

That's interesting, as for me it's eerily accurate and consistently gets it right within a minute or two for short journeys and within 5 to 10 mins for longer journeys (3± hrs). I guess it could be pretty location specific?

Presumably they didn't go for a 'turn it off, do the transfer, turn it on again' strategy. I'd guess they transferred the bulk of the data beforehand then applied incremental updates until the databases matched then turn
