Roadway gluing is designed to sway public opinion -> change politics -> affect the corporations. This is designed to... affect the corporations. (Swaying public opinion could be seen as a secondary effect.) I also realize it's no

Maybe it's not. Guidelines: > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, (...) If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Yeah, like how developers were en-masse ditching GitHub to go to GitLab when Microsoft acquired GitHub.

People often say they'd gladly pay a bit more, but I don't think that's how they act. In the case of Ryanair, I think not using them often means that a casual weekend away could become a much bigger dent in my family's m

Oh, don't get me started on Ryanair, but alas. You go through what seems the entire check-in process, you get what seems like a summary at the end, with a link to a UK government site where you need to go next to get a travel authoriza

I find it hard to judge how much, if at all, this will help, but I'm all for email being more secure, to the point that organizations (banks, governments, insurance companies) stop creating walled-email alternatives: please log in to

I think the layout _wants_ to look like a newspaper, but just doesn't quite end up looking like one. where a newspaper may have longer columns mixed in with shorter articles, this one has mostly short articles that then don't quit

That is certainly the point where it started to feel arbitrary for me.

Maybe the buttons shouldn't be their own files, but the backend functionality certainly could be. I don't do this, but I like the idea.

I have a laptop to the side, and a bigger screen in front of me. And the laptop screen might as well be a picture frame: it adds no productivity gain, whatsoever. And it really confuses me. I have fond memories of my setup at work, in the r

Why would it get pulled in over the weekend? What automatic deployments are you running if there also isn't a human working to get it out? Do you run automatic dependency updates over the weekend? Wouldn't you rather do that durin

I came here to argue the opposite. Expressing it in seconds takes away questions about time zones and DST. I think you're incorrect to say that second are also ambiguous. Maybe what you mean is that days are more practical, but that se

Founders can be chasing a dream and in doing so mesmerize investors. Or they capitalize on that same dream being the investor's. Even if it's not viable, it can still be really fun company to work for and/or earn money at. Ev

To be pedantic some more, they used a HTTP 301 to get you to a page that uses a HTTP 200. It just _says_ "Error 451".

There's a completely unironic obituary linked from the LA Times from 1994, which makes me wonder if the scandalous meaning even existed yet in those days?

This article has the opposite effect from putting me at ease. There's no real argument in there that AGI couldn't be dangerous, it's just saying that of course we would build better versions than that. Right, because we alway

When you see v7 vs. V4, you'd expect the higher number to be better, hopefully better in all aspects, I wouldn't have expected such a thoughtful consideration to be required before upgrading. UUID-b would've been a better nam

API responses should be limited to authenticated users. IDs are often present in hyperlinks that are included in insecure emails, or in URLs that, being routed through all sorts of networking hops may be captured and available as metadata.

Holds are a credit card feature, GVB is a Dutch transit authority, so they're more likely to be talking about bank cards, ie. debit cards, which I don't think support holds in that same sense.

Some business are looking ahead long term. Others aren't. It wouldn't be novel for a company like ASML to just stay focused no the goose with the golden egg, look at Intel (Pentium etc.) And then there's business that have so
