I've been following these since maybe 2016? I don't remember when they started. It's striking to note that for as long as I recall, HGST still holds the crown of lowest annualised failure rate across the board.

Input the backup code as the 2FA text code, that's normally how the process works IME.

I'm actually still so struck how literally nobody seems to give a shit or even know that this happened. It's really sad.

I miss the days I could walk through a crowded area without seeing these awful things. The problem is, as these barriers become more widespread, the... perpetrators... of such attacks will simply move to other means of violence. Today we ha

Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Although, it might be more appropriate to call Google 'Alphabet' now. But FNAAA doesn't have as much of a ring to it.

I realise you jest slightly, due to the very overdone cicadas... but I had to jump in to add; Serial Experiments Lain is seriously a 10/10 anime. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone.

> it seems to be the norm that British management is overall terrible What an incredibly spurious, over-generalised anecdote.

Looks like someone has rebranded 'thispersondoesnotexist.com', thrown together an advert and turned it into a startup.

A complete aside: the site design on linked page is beautiful. Very minimalist and totally functional.

I think you were downvoted by people that didn't get the reference, cheers for the reminder.

I wonder if version 2.0 is written in Unity? I hope not. I recall a lot of the performance issues in KSP1 being blamed on the choice of engine...

I'm curious if Twitter would publish such pieces if the US was favourable with China's position in this conflict. Makes you wonder. Or, to bring the issue home a bit: would Twitter post this information if they discovered the demo

It frustrates me that the tech scene seems to accept such behaviours as smoking weed quite easily. Note the numerous replies to your comment clamouring to it's defence! I've not known a single long-term user of cannabis to be a

See also: 'FadeAway' grabs in League Of Legends. Very similar concept, amusing to ponder the ways in which the programmers made the same oversight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQp63SA-NZY (12s in) Essentially,

Broken for me, too. Twitter's UI is awful. Altering the URL to 'm.twitter.com' worked for me, as I can now see the topmost comment by 'Amazon News'

There are many such cases, not restricted to the UK. If you look you can find lots of rather amusing images about the topic. Photos of clearly adult men posing next to young teenagers, as if they are the same age. The amusing part is that e

Never thought about this shortening before. Nice tip! Makes me wonder about code golf for shell scripts. Now there's a rabbit hole...

I've sworn by HGST drives since BackBlaze have repeatedly covered their impressively low failure rate. They've worked well for me.

I'd argue the Mirage Unikernel (built almost wholly in OCaml) is one of the most robust platforms out there. The NCC paper you talk about looks at two rather old fashioned unikernels in isolation. I don't think the idea of unikern

There's some really interesting literature about this topic, I only discovered it recently. I'd recommend starting with 'The Good Gut' by Justin Sonnenburg. An excerpt can be found here: https://www.scientifi

Reminds me of back when people used to make hand-drawn controls in Adobe Flash! Good memories. Nice work.

My main takeaway from this is that #deleteFacebook has been a flash in the pan-- their active user count is still increasing across all regions. Also to note, FB only pay effectively 11% tax on some 12 billion dollars worth of revenue.

Dual-N-Back has been shown to help. Another method is creating lists of random items and then attempting to remember said list several hours down the line.
