I'm going to agree with the others here, this doesn't sound very complicated at all. This is week 1/2 of many programming courses: basic network request, write to a file and fill your app with a bunch of text. For many langua

At my house, I have a meter that I get a feed from. So I look at the graphs. From the graphs, you can learn about what is happening in the house. You know when someone is showering, left home for work (arrived home), doing laundry, went to

Except you are still storing the nonce/salt (not sure which you are proposing)...which means you can reverse it, so the data is subpoenable. It doesn't really buy anyone anything, in this scenario. It could help if the logs were

was the double-negative intentional? I've used Go for sub-millisecond needs. So 20ms seems like it would be a reasonable choice from where I'm sitting.

There is a lot of weirdness in the wording. They say it helps outside work...but that the app doesn't work except while working.

My current monthly cable subscription is $135 (plus "fees"). And when people say, "cable", they generally mean TV service. For many, that may mean a pricey satellite TV service (very expensive back in the day). Basic cab

Depends on what you mean by "well for the acquired company". But if you just mean where the product (or possibly even the brand) went on to be successful, a bunch jump to mind: Pixar, Marvel, Google Maps, Ring, Zappos, Android, Wo

Denying access to airspace of a private plane feels a little different than forcing a commercial plane to land with threat (and real actions) of violence. The level of crimes involved is also an important distinction. What Snowden did is il

Maybe overkill for you use-case, but something such as NextCloud could be used: https://nextcloud.com/ I use this for cross-family backup and sharing. My main use-case is getting my photos from my phone to my desktop.

I always find this kind of thought interesting. The government provides a ton of things. Do you use public roads or sidewalks? Do you live, work or shop in a structure that adheres to building codes? Do you have power? Do you have access to

You aren't taxing the corporation, you are taxing an individual. We can pretend that is somehow a tax on the corporation, but it isn't. Corporations hold vast sums of cash that isn't "income" to an individual. That

There have been a bunch of higher-profile, "we moved to Graviton2 and cut costs". Twitter, for example, migrated: https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/twitter-selects-aws-and...

Many finance incentives are usually restricted to current dealer inventory and previous model years. They also get people in the door, since often times, people don't truly qualify for the advertised rates (if we are talking about fina

Yeah, I'd add this to the website (or maybe a short video of the analysis process). I went there, but there was zero description of what it meant to analyze an image. It just tried to drop me in, then prompted for an email address. I w

Don't forget the truncation problem with YAML/TOML. A partially read/transmitted YAML/TOML file is often still considered valid.

It isn't just about the giant screen for everyone. For many in my circle, the only reason they still go to the theatre is because you can see things when they release. If they had an option for same day streaming (as covid has provided

I think they are more generally saying that drivers for these ride share companies aren't aware of the risks that the company is passing on to them. They used the example that quite a few drivers have standard insurance (rather than on

What about this data being public causes it to lose value? It seems like it would be a boon for lots of companies even if every other company has it.

I just saw something about this. The reason Apple hasn't been impacted is because their sales have been dropping for the past few years on iPhones and other devices. That trend hasn't changed during the pandemic. While many of the

Yeah, this is exactly it. They used to produce enterprise-ish level hardware and at a reasonable price. Their devices, in my experience, were pretty rock solid. Setup took a little bit more work than the consumer (edited) offerings, but the

Cards expire. I don't have data on which is the most common, but based on my personal experience, the majority of my replacement cards are from expiration, not from being lost or stolen. When my cards are lost/stolen, they provide

But we aren't discussing just these specific APIs/protocols (and I haven't look at them, so I'd have to take your word on that), we are discussing this generally.

by somethingwitty1 6y ago
There is a lot of secret sauce in protocols. Those decisions can have serious positive/negative implications on performance and features. Making those easily available to everyone could potentially destroy a business. Don't get me

Amazon doesn't co-mingle their inventory with 3Ps, they do co-mingle 3Ps that don't opt to avoid it. This is one of the reasons I look for the "sold and shipped by Amazon" for important purchases. Unfortunately, I'v

The article does say they made 230+ contributions last year to the OSS Elastic is (was?) built on. Not sure how one counts those, but perhaps it helped Elastic as well?
