It might just be me but recently I have found myself a bit uncertain or nervous about the true compatibility of MySQL and MariaDB. I also find I sometimes don't know which I'm connecting to between all the different systems I&#x27

A lot of programmers aren't capable of writing software. This is a nothing argument. Lots of office workers are very intelligent people.

My experience is that 1984 is much more re-readable. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, except that perhaps Orwell created a world that is more mentally inhabitable despite its grim nature. The little room above the shop is a resp

I found the errors in this text unnerving. They were uncannily glitch-like.

He's poking fun at government bureaucracy. You tell them there's an alien invasion and they send you their latest helpful brochure. In other words totally ignore you and instead perform some default function.

I'm contemplating a move to the Riviera (family reasons). Any general advice on the tech scene down there? My French is bad at present but I have quite a bit of room for manouevre...

His point seems to be that mixing async and sync code in Python is a nightmare. I'm not sure how the fact that you do not observe the same issue in C# (a totally different language and runtime) is relevant?

You could start by looking at something super simple like Kilo: https://github.com/antirez/kilo Even I could understand this one pretty well and that's no small matter.

It was previously possible for an attacker, especially a selective one to impersonate the domain of a major provider like Paypal or Dropbox in the display address. I think the fact this is no longer possible is a good thing. Phishing has go

Lovely website - just a note that your contact pages / widgets all list support@example.com as your contact email...Ignore me if you're just building but thought it was worth pointing out.

I'm not the OP. I like having richer friends - I borrow their money...and only sometimes give it back. I did read that but I've never accepted that usage. It's a despicable attempt to elide a very useful discrimination.

You're not an asshole, but perhaps I am: it's envy - not jealousy. > Envy means discontented longing for someone else’s advantages. Jealousy means unpleasant suspicion, or apprehension of rivalship. https://www.merri

There was an Irish company called Steorn in this "space" between 2006 and 2016. I was invited in 2006/7 to a discussion of the company's technology hosted by the CEO. I was there with a small group of journalists and pot

There are many kinds of Atheism. I have met people to whom the very idea of God was just a weird thing they heard of once and thought was kind of cute or whatever but a matter of genuine indifference to them. On the other hand we have the p

There are God hating atheists. What I refer to are people who were raised within a powerful belief system. Their atheism is powerfully and emotionally reactive against that belief system and it's ultimate symbol. They profess not to be

Strong atheism of the sort you profess is religious in my opinion. It may or may not be spiritual, depending on its flavour. You don't sound like a God hating atheist (which is definitely spiritual).

What's the term for these articles? FIREPorn? SecurityPorn? All these dreams of safety make me feel sorry for people. To need so much money just not to be afraid.

A lot of it is luck. You can go years not seeing much of the really malicious spam and then one day you're on the list and you'll find yourself being bombarded with stuff Spamassassin doesn't touch. Especially if your organiz

We have about 500ms to make our assessment so we wouldn't follow a link in realtime and depend on it resolving and redirecting etc. Instead we expand them later and visit and scan them after the fact. But at that point the email is oft
