IMO, this is confusing completely different things. This is a list of projects to try if you want to learn more advanced programming. They're all handy if you're an entry-level developer looking to improve your skills, or want to

This is cool in a sense, but I don't really trust anybody enough to let them MITM all of my internet traffic through a remote server.

This is cool! I've often felt tempted to build something like that. I'm disappointed by how overpriced and terrible commercial thermostats are - try finding one that can actually switch from cool to heat automatically, isn't

Not a "bug" in terms of incorrect code. But if I worked there, I'd sure like to know that 1. There were older versions of apps with config files stored in S3 that contained AWS keypairs for roles with wide open access 2. That

Anything else seems like an even bigger mess: What happens when a user who travels unexpectedly discovers they need to download a new version of the app for where they are now? And what if they're on a low-bandwidth or capped cell plan

There's probably a lot of truth to this. It does go against the common sentiment here that open everything is always better. Well somebody will improve it themselves, right? So why hasn't anybody improved the open standard Bluetoo

I'm pretty sure that the main way to consistently make money in the crypto industry is to sell snake-oil to people who ask questions like that.

That's the point. It was low, but that should have been expected due to the low environmental temperature. The warning system should know that it will increase to the proper levels when the tires warm up some and should not request tha

I get what you mean, and I haven't had a car in a while, but the last one I had, the TPM didn't seem to correct for temperature at all, and would flag all the tires as being low on first start on cold days. I would have thought it

As a techie and a possible user, I agree that I'd like that feature. As someone who has/might work for companies building things like that, it sounds like a nightmare. It's a ton of design, testing, translation, validation, e

It's related to how the internet ad market has evolved. Initially, sites would run their advertising side kind of like newspapers do - have in-house departments to sell ads directly to the companies that want to advertise, then place t

I'm not so sure I like where the rest of this argument is going, but I do want to support the idea that there are probably a zillion ways to spy on and otherwise abuse somebody if you can get them to use an iphone that you jailbroke an

Wait the TPMs also send temperature reports? That's pretty cool. I wonder how many you could see with a decent receiver, if they interfere with each other at range, if you could get a solid temperature from a few dozen low-quality sens

My employer is a pretty big spender with AWS. I didn't hear anything about anybody getting status updates from a "Personal Health Dashboard" or anywhere else. I can't be 100% sure such an update would have made its way t

This is actually a perfect example of why I don't like these magical overloads for what looks like basic mathematical operations. It's perfectly obvious to everyone what adding 2 numbers does. It works the same in basically any co

You ought to flip that around actually. Yes it is kind of self-serving. But if they won't do something kind of self-serving like make it much easier to use Rust on their main profit center systems, how committed are they really to maki

Performance Improvement Plan. In theory, it sounds like a plan to fix your supposedly inadequate performance. In practice, like 99% of the time it means somebody decided to fire you for some reason before you have even seen the first one, a

Thanks, that's great to hear!

They probably do. Unfortunately, the mechanics of Reddit favor any random dope posting something that is exciting and sounds good over smart and careful people taking their time to make sure they get it right. And of course, "Hey guys

If they really want to help, the most obvious first step would seem to be to formally adopt and throw some full-time resources at the Rusoto AWS library set for Rust. It's pretty usable right now, but would certainly benefit from the l

I have to figure that those times are pretty contrived. Maybe you can evacuate in 90 seconds, if all of the "passengers" are skinny and athletic, and know what's going to happen, and don't have any extra stuff to try and

The real thing with tipping IMO is the unknown of where and when it's expected. At least at restaurants, it's pretty standard that you're supposed to tip and roughly how much. It's like, there's some mysterious unkn

This pretty much. I think people get a little too into dunking on general anti-vaxxers, and want to extend it to ridiculing any skepticism at all. I don't really want to be first in line for something rushed through full-scale trials t

That's weird, me too, I could swear it used to do that. It doesn't do it now though, and I can't find any option to make it do that again. Oh well.

It does all come down to personal preference in the end. I can only describe why I prefer Vim. I specifically do not recommend it to anybody else - it's hard enough to learn that you have to decide on your own that you want to make the

Even if it was made legally possible for states to secede, I doubt it would help much - we're all too mixed up with each other. The Bluest states all have a lot of Red in their more rural areas, and the Reddest states all have a lot of

Maybe somebody wrote a requirement about that once, but it doesn't sound very practical. I know they were dreaming up a lot of fanciful things when they were setting the requirements though. I think the actual shuttle had a life suppor

I mostly agree, but what in the world do you mean by "The Space Shuttle had a use case for rapid troop deployment"? I can't picture that being anything but the worst way imaginable to get like 2 or 3 guys somewhere.

Maybe I'm too literal here, and there's a bunch of other stuff that could be addressed, but can I just complain that the article titled "A pacifist's plan to survive the violent world of prison" doesn't have a
