What's the point of including books that aren't public domain yet in your collections? It makes it hard to browse those collections to find actual books to read. The first 3 series I clicked on all said "not P.D." (whi

Were you around for the first 10-15 years of the widespread consumer Internet? I actually disagree with you that things are good, security-wise, today.. They are still pretty bad. Back then was extremely bad.. Back then, Windows was nev

Yep agreed that this would be a better approach. I think this is where iOS uses security as an excuse to maintain their walled garden.

I tend to agree with this, but if you look at the PC ecosystem, you'll see that 'leave users to figure out their own security' is a shit show. Phones, for better or worse, contain much more private and personal information ab

I find it challenging to accept something that talks about "OCR" but then I upload a PDF with text in images, and when I query the document after upload, I get a message that says "I can't interpret images".. Then a

That is possibly the most original README I've seen in a long time. I will admit it's a bit.. obfuscated, though?

> When implemented well Here's the important part. Regulatory capture and monopolies don't want or need things to be implemented well, because that leads to alternative options.

I read the blog post (especially in combination with the end bit) at least in part, as an advertisement for the author's capabilities and services. That makes the tone make a bit more sense to me.

I think you misunderstood my comment.. When a non-technical person hires an incompetent developer (that they likely don't know is incompetent at the time of hiring) to build something that turns out to be insecure - because the develop

Frontpage and other page builders had a much much lower bar for capabilities though.. Even Wix and Squarespace are "building block" tools when you start to layer functionality on top of the designs.. What you can do is limited by

To be fair, lots of "actual" programmers who don't know good from bad have been shipping insecure code to prod for decades. AI is just another vector for this, not something entirely new. When you have your amazing idea, inst

The Mac App Store page has the pricing at the bottom in the In-App Purchases section.. TL;DR - $49 for a lifetime subscription, or $19/year or $9/month. It could definitely be easier to find.

I'm certainly not trying to argue or challenge anyone's interpretations of motive or assumptions of intent (no matter how silly I find them - we're all entitled to our opinions). I am saying that when change is coming, partic

None of this takes away from my point that the facts are in the article, if you read it. If the PR stuff isn't for you, fine, ignore that. Take notes on the parts that do matter to you, and then validate those in whatever way you need

That's some cherry-picking right there. That is a small part of the announcement. Right at the top of the page it says: > consumption limits are coming March 1st, 2025. Then further in the article it says: > We’re introducing im

Sure but did you read the rest of the post you're replying to? That database only exists in theory, based on extrapolation of this vulnerability to billions of individual exploits, and I think we can all agree that Google would detect

I can say that's the case for me. YT Premium is the only paid streaming service in our house, and we pretty much only watch it on the big TV.

The long probation approach completely ignores the very real costs of onboarding someone new. It takes time, money and people to bring someone in, and hiring is actually quite a risk for many companies (unless they're huge and/or

I think for web or "backend for network" people, you are always deploying into a hostile environment (the Internet) and so you really should be at least aware of basic security measures. If you consider yourself a professional

This is slightly tangential to your questions, but to address the "remembering details about your past work", I've long-encouraged the developers I mentor to keep a log/doc/diary of their work. If nothing else, it&#
