No it would still require username/password. This was only verifying the email address was correct.

I've had to deal with this with e-mail verification links and Auth0. The user clicked the link after getting it in their mailbox but then Auth0 throws up an error page because the e-mail address has already been verified (by Outlook s

The thing is that you don’t want just the car battery but you want to use the capability of the car to deliver power back to the grid (or your house at any rate). The rest of the time you want to use the car as a car. The idea behind it is

by sandermvanvliet 4y ago
That’s exactly the point. The few car models that do support grid feed-in require an expensive converter to take DC from the car and deliver AC to the home. The hardware to do that is just expensive and currently that doesn’t pay off

by sandermvanvliet 4y ago
Exactly this, (lack of) storage is the problem. Daytime demand isn’t high enough to deal with PV output leading to cut offs on grid feed-in from consumer PV installations. Given that car batteries aren’t an option yet to power homes this i

Not sure but I’ve made something more ugly. Once upon a time at $workplace we had a production and development LAN and we had two PC’s sitting on our desks, one for prod and one for dev. Now there was a special SMB share to move stuff betwe

Hi HN, Zwift is a cycling/running virtual world game where you connect to a smart trainer so you can ride your bike indoors when it’s raining outside (and much more!) The game has a number of worlds with fixed routes that you can ride

Fun fact, in Netherlands (Rotterdam at least) these things are called “fietsnietjes” which translated is something like: bicycle staples. In Rotterdam you now also have a “fietsvlonder” where a car parking space is sacrificed to provide bik

I used to travel back and forth between Rotterdam and London with a pelicase and I got taken aside every single time, repeatedly scanning it, drug swabs the whole shebang.

I used to work in a team for a risk management department of a large bank. The excel sheets that the modellers were coming up with were pretty, shall we say, interesting. They basically built the app we were supposed to be building… but in

CodeContracts were a horrible hammer that people abused to not have to create proper types for things like an invoice id. If you have a type system then you should leverage it, not bolt on something extra

I might be living in a different Europe than you but from what I see around my Slack is very pervasive and Teams is only used for video meetings because companies are already on office365. Nothing but hate for the chat/collaboration fe

Interestingly I find that while you can doom scroll on a laptop for me it doesn’t “work”. Perhaps because my laptop is work territory (both actual work and hobby) so I automatically don’t doom scroll there or maybe it’s just that lots of co

Being 2.08m tall (6’10) I _have_ to always pay extra because I don’t fit in a regular seat. Many years ago at check in I would automatically be put on the exit row but nowadays that doesn’t happen anymore. So now I need to book very early

Soon-to-be-dad here, I’m going to give this a spin. So far I really appreciate that I can just open the app and have a look, no account creation or anything. Truly a breath of fresh air. It looks quite clean too, nice work!

I’ve used a similar approach when visualising telemetry reliability for a whole bunch of real world assets as well as in performance/stress tests. It’s so nice to be able to use this sort of thing in tests when the outcomes don’t repre

by sandermvanvliet 5y ago
Protobuf doesn’t have a date/date time/time type which means you get dates encoded as strings and all the fun that entails. Not saying that either is better but just sometimes you actually do want more types instead of less.
