A language designed for easy dictating/listening rather than writing/reading, for people with muscle/movement dysfunctions or vision problems. Another vague idea that came to my mind recently was a language in which everythin

Ethical hackers hack for fame and money, but they don't blackmail or disclose any information that could harm anybody. Lots of companies already take part in bug bounty programs with explicit rewards for hackers or implement "coor

Wait, so I am not the only one who almost never read articles, but spend 30 minutes on reading their comments?

High dividend stocks or REITs. Some markets are currently paying more than 4% as a whole: https://www.starcapital.de/en/research/stock-market-valuatio... . Russian stocks pay above 7%. Asian REITs have high divide

I'm wondering if enforcing this on the browser level wouldn't make more sense. I mean, if a site use cookies or wants to track you in any other ways it would have to ask for your permission the same way you are asked before access

There's a PC game similar to Advance Wars called War Groove. I haven't played it yet, but I've heard it's decent.

As little kids we used to play Theme Park with a friend of mine. After we got bored with the game we used to create parks called sth like "Filthy sh*tter" and try to make them the most hideous places ever. No cleaning service, gar

We had a local driver and a permit we got from a travel agency in Lhasa if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, I can't recall which base camp it was. The toilets were indeed horrible, one of the worst I've seen in my life for sur

We took a part of this route (Warsaw to Hong Kong via Mongolia and China) with some friends during summer vacations in 2006. We even "accidentally" landed in Tibet for 2 weeks and visited the Everest Base Camp near Shigatse. The e

Haha, neither of those. I guess solving everything with drones = "reuse the same favorite tool for all kinds of jobs".

Some setups are dead simple and require just 1 or 2 clicks to enable a VPN that was registered before, e.g. Tunnelblick on MacOS. The potential hacker who was explicitly told he has to enable a VPN may look for such an app on the compromise

The misinformation that 418 brings may be quite helpful if an unauthorized person temporarily gets in hold of your device and tries to access that admin panel.

We return 418 on our site in case an admin tries to access the admin panel without a required VPN. It actually clicked pretty fast with everybody on the team, especially those less tech-savvy. They know the "teapot issue" means th

For me the game got so much easier when I started to construct drones. There was almost no need to build belts any more! Not sure what it says about me as a developer though...

Oh yeah? And what if there are no other cars on the highway?

I've seen the pasta dozens of times on the web, but never heard about this movie before. The trailer starts with those exact words being read off the screen, ROTFL.

I didn't mean to be provocative, I just wondered what's the advantage of that particular setup. I guess your comment and the peer's explain it pretty well. Also, thanks for the links to the repos. I'll start from there.

Yeah, so this is the design decision that I don't really understand. Each message on the blockchain contains the author's public key representing his identity. If I already know the identity of the author, I could just go ahead an

Why does the users' data have to be stored in a form of a linked list (or "blockchain")? Couldn't every peer in the network just hold his own database full of messages and blobs and sign them with their private key when

For what it's worth, IB is down for me too. I can log in, but the stock lookup doesn't work at all.

Please, please don't mention Factorio, it's too addictive. I bought it on Steam during Christmas 2 years ago and almost forgot there's a world outside. I spent 80 hours playing it in a couple of days and it was just one game.

After looking at these numbers I realized Western Europe pays a bit better than I expected and US outside SV a bit worse :) The difference still seems to be there, but one part of that is USD/EUR being pretty high currently.

From what I understand GDPR was supposed to guarantee opt-out by default and this is widely adopted. Instead of having stupid popups on every single website asking us to agree to their tracking policies, wouldn't it make more sense to

Exactly. The usual way to deal with this would be to move the `where(:x => "y").where(:y => "z")` logic to a scope on the Model and test the scope in a unit test by checking if it returns the records as intended.
