I've rented Zipcars here in the UK many times and never encountered this. The cars have a key in the glove compartment. After you initially unlock it at the beginning of your reservation you take that key with you. You put it back in a

When I picked up a DVCS years ago I initially went for Mercurial for its ease of use. It had a clean command line interface and it just clicked with me (Git still had some bits written in Perl). It worked very well for my small projects.

Or even better, reach out and band together with other users of the service who were misled and make a common complaint to the small claims court.

That's why they are called _transactions_. They are an immutable journal of amounts coming in and going out.

Google now allows the removal of SMS and Voicemail based 2FA if you have a hardware token configured. Good news is you can now use your Android phone as a hardware token.

I've just checked and Google now allows the removal of SMS based 2FA if you have an alternative 2FA method configured.

Why aren't licenses transferable cross-platform though? They give you the right to _use_ the product after all. One license should normally allow you to play on any platform you wish (xbox/pc/ps4/stevia) ans even trans

We do have an ethical code. "The Unwritten Laws of Engineering" book sums it up nicely. The ethical codes such as those of ACM or IEEE are good examples.

This has the potential to create a huge legal headache. We can no longer rely on email to be there in our archive and presented as evidence in court, but now have to worry about expiry. In many countries an exchange of emails which represen

Apache is a good piece of software, nothing wrong with it. People like nginx because it's low maintenance but I'm not sure it still has the performance edge for _dynamic_ apps. Apache has improved and now has things such as Event

Good to see Firefox join the party, even tough it's 4 years late. Serving multiple content types based on the http accept header sent by the browser is easy to setup. [1] So Chrome and Firefox users can benefit from the better webp co

I'm sure Amazon margins are more substantial on these Chinese products than on well established brands.

Amazon is swamped with products from China of dubious quality. Just search for 'earphones' for example. All top results are very poor products from unknown brands. Amazon needs to handle this now unless they want to turn into Alie

The low color gamut is the whole reason I modded my Inspiron 7570. The laptops are good but the panels Dell puts in most of them are very poor. Article here if anyone is interested https://wooptoo.com/blog/inspiron-7570

I'm glad companies are finally coming back to this. Looks very similar to my Inspiron I bought a few years ago. Once you open up the back plate everything is laid nicely in front of you ready to service. I changed my RAM/HDD&#x2F

I've started using fish after seeing this post. It's an incredible shell. How come I haven't came across it in the past 10 years? I like the scripting syntax too, so much saner than bash.

For anyone using postgres on a daily basis I would highly recommend pgcli. It has a very good auto-complete, and can even suggest JOIN statements (parts of it actually).

I've tried most of them. I was impressed with BeOS back in the day and have used it for a few weeks as the main OS on my machine. I tried Haiku for a short time a few years ago. It had potential to be a great OS but it has become irrel

I second FreeBSD, it's what I'd use if Linux were not available. Maybe look into other BSDs like NetBSD or OpenBSD. NetBSD even runs on a toaster if you have any lying around :-) https://www.embeddedarm.com/blog&

Here is a fun one-liner quicksort in Python: def q(list): return [] if list==[] else q([x for x in list[1:] if x < list[0]]) + [list[0]] + q([x for x in list[1:] if x >= list[0]])
