No, they are not stored permanently on disk according to 12f. They are only injected for the lifetime of the application and destroyed when stopped. It's not okay to store your secret on your own machine disk's .bashrc forever.

I think roll-out and deployment are even bigger issues. Who updates their software stack within 10 minutes? Most CI runs take longer to verify the business logic is still working. Add to that the danger of supply-chain attacks where you don

Doctors didn't wash their hands between inspecting corpses and doing surgery. Drivers protested against seat belts that would save their own lives. Times change and hindsight is 20/20. Let's just say 10 years ago I worked at

"The environment" is not "environment variables" and not ".env files" For cloud services, it would typically be called a vault. But it could also be a hardware security module (HSM) with bring-your-own-key (BYO

It's understandable though. Would you like to think of yourself as deficient, even if you really are?

> If you try and force kids to study when they don't want to "for their own good" you're not actually helping them. Everyone needs to find their own path. Let people fail. This simply does not work for most, as pupils

> “If I were to sacrifice [my] family name, it would be a betrayal of everything my mother has done for me.” Only a man could entertain this thought.

You can always break some UK laws and find out whether you are ruled from London. Expensive experiment for sure, but I'm certain of the outcome. Likewise, the Catalans (a region in Spain) recently found out whether they belong to the n

I meet a lot of noj-college people and let's just say, "just a low pass filter" is still A LOT of value.

Sure, why not. But your reposte, as it is, is pretty weak.

Yes, but this a medium-length "I tested this phone a few days" article with the intention of getting affiliate revenue. That's the joke. What's next, "Look at this Amazon product listicle" behind a paywall?

"Should we have a national database of, say, religious beliefs? Almost instinctively the answer is no." What about an ad system that can predict beliefs and home addresses? Ooops. Google, Microsoft, Apple, every telecoms provider,

Those boarding schools make for some quality upbringing! "Winston Churchill would recall the floggings, done until pupils “bled freely” and screamed loudly. In “Such, Such Were The Joys”, George Orwell writes of being beaten so violent

The good old days. I used to live in a cul-de-sac and out-of-town people often wanted to get to a nearby street. The nearby entrance to that one was blocked for traffic reasons. Tell people they have to turn right 6 times and drive 4 kilome

You know what happened the last years when the internet went down and there were no emails, no Microsoft Teams, no "npm install", no stackoverflow, no Google, no coordination with other locations? You know what happened when a PC

Haven't measured it exactly, but haven't noticed a reduction in my lifts either. I do have a home gym, throttled my marathon training and try my best with Skyr and protein shakes though.

I'm using reta myself, but honestly it's because sema/tirz isn't allowed for me either. If you have medical tirz available, you should have some serious reasons to jump into the unregulated shark tank.

Diminishing returns though. Once everyone is on glp-1, noone gets an employment advantage from it anymore. I still recommend riding the wave as long as it works.

Yes, but I do instruct it to give me the explanations. Maybe that helps.

That explains a lot, thank you. Still a weird quirk that the dirty gas is considered an elite symbol.

The article is unclear: Do they "attack" the GenX managers and encrypt their stuff, or do they simply contact GenX managers in order to get paid faster? In that case, the managers aren't "victims" and aren't &q

I don't get it. Did the US never get electric stoves? They're over 100 years old tech at this point. It's weird that noone here mentions there are electric stoves between gas and induction.
