I'm pretty sure its because the servers that host the video are just dumb servers that will serve whatever is asked. The logic is in the player. The servers don't know when you started the video watch session. If the servers had t

I have an extension with a few hundred users (Reddit Slideshow) that's going to need to be updated in a way that will reduce privacy. Manifest V3 prevents some of the things I need to do for it to make network requests. The only soluti

A simple "WAF" can be implemented without hardware or anything overly complex by doing just a three things that will eliminate most malicious traffic. • Block all traffic from AWS, Azure, etc. yeah, you'll loose some traffic

No, 99.9% of them are just scum of the earth criminals. They don't give a shit about who they're scamming.

Calling EDD at 7:00:00 AM, the second they open, will usually get your call answered. Or it may be 8:00 I forget... If you call too early you'll get a message telling you so. Also take note of the menu options you need to select so

I'm not really seeing why DoorDash needs all their operational data in one monster clustered database. I would think its so much simpler to shard the data by region for operational queries and aggregate in the background for long-term

I just bought a Mazda MX5. I love the car but utterly loathe the "entertainment system". When it isn't hanging/crashing (which it does about once a week) it prevents using any of the screen controls while the car is mov

I was programming on MacOS (the original) since it was possible. I remember many of these error messages! Especially "Too many errors on one line (make fewer)". ...also remember 45 minute builds when a header file changed.

YouTube changes small things in this process all the time. I used to work on an internal editing tool for YouTube videos that needed the MP4 files. Every month or so the editor would break because of a YouTube change and I needed to dive in

I have noticed this problem. The latest release is actually unusable for me. The whole IDE stalls every few seconds for no reason, with no visible CPU spike. Oh and it totally blew away all my toolbars and reset my style config irrevocably.

In my experience technical analysis works ok at resolutions of 1 to 5 minutes. i.e. if you want to grind at day trading watching the live candlesticks and have a reasonably fast trading platform you might make enough to get by. This assumes

To add more context. The task included interfacing with a 3rd party API that was poorly documented. In order to even see what a response looked like would have been incredibly hard without a debugger. Dumping it to the console would have

No it was implementing a feature. No palindromes or nonsense like that.

Just that I used it at all. There's a contingent of engineers who feel using a debugger is a waste of time and or a sign of weakness. They're the ones who like to stare at code and "run it in their heads" and dump crazy

The responses from 1Password are maddening. "Can't say if of when the dev team will address this", "I'll add a vote on your behalf (smiley)", "Keep checking our release notes"

This is a proof of concept. It's going to take many more years to get it into a practical form factor for widespread adoption. In the meantime, early adopters including developers will define it. It's basically the same as the Mac

I know I'm by far not the only person to be banned for calling out crypto scams. At this point I wouldn't doubt a good deal of the scams are run from inside Reddit. Comments calling out scams often get downvoted 100x or more with

There's no reason for Archive.org to allow any traffic from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Archive.org should just block the CIDRs for all those networks. Most traffic that comes from them is scraping traffic and usually malicious.

There's nothing wrong with starting with ChatGPT but the lazy ambulance chaser couldn't be bothered with a quick lookup in Westlaw. That's where things start going wrong.
