Wow. That article starts with "programmers continually learn new technologies" and does a kickflip at the end into "so bootcamps are good". I admire the skill of whoever wrote that, but ugh - what a nasty piece of PR.

The logic I really want is "hide old unfixed but show me unfixed that's less than X days old" so new stuff surfaces briefly but these zombie vulns aren't constant noise.

An overall risk of "low" is incorrect here. The risk is "none" because it's not applicable to your environment. Or do you consider "low" a won't fix / not applicable categorization?

Plus, if this gets widespread, it's more fuel for the link farms and typo scam sites. Why monetize your dark patterns with ads when you can directly suck money out of your users? I'm sure the payment providers will claim to police

My backup broadband is 25/3; speed tests come in at 35/3. On three weekdays in 2020, there was a major outage on my primary (gigabit) connection and our home network failed over to the backup. This is during COVID, with three fami

Also data caps. A fast connection with a 20Gb monthly data cap (common for LTE) still isn't usable as household broadband.

10 years is far from end of life for a vanlife conversion. Many conversions start with something older than that. Boats are in water, so they have a lot more wear and tear. If you stay out of the road salt states, it's normal to see 40

I've never understood why recipe blogs have so much extra text, unless it's an SEO thing to start with. The text all feels useless fluff to me anyway; all I'm there for is the actual recipe card itself. And from a user's

Ah, I remember when newsstands were a thing and they would get MAD if you read the above-the-fold front page of a paper without buying it. So I guess unreasonable expectations in this regard are hardly a new thing..

You kid, but space applications are one of the specific exemptions to RoHS. Basically because tin whiskers are extra bad in space.. lead solder is still specified here.

I can't tell for sure from this article, but is this still doing an oscillatory method measurement of MAP?

The algorithm for regular NIBP cuffs is interesting. It's actually measuring MAP - mean arterial pressure - and doing a calculation based on that and heart rate to approximate actual systolic and diastolic numbers. This is usually as o
