It's because we are very old and we had custom software originally, way back in the 70 and 80's when we were first getting computers. When OpenVMS(the system our custom software was running on) was EOL'd, the existing team w

Postgres has secure connection methods, including client and server TLS cert authentication. You could also hide it behind tailscale/nebula or some other VPN thing.

I did read it originally before my 1st comment. I just didn't link this last comment with that comment. HN does a bad job(no job?) of showing that relationship, and it skipped my brain. I'm glad you learned something though: It&#

That's cool! Is that a GNU tar only thing? Based on it being a longopt, I'm guessing a GNU tar only thing. That's the problem with these things, it takes a while to get pushed to all the installed copies of tar running around

If by harassing, you mean sending you letters, the software prints those. It does it for all bills under some threshold(I forget the amount now). Humans are barely involved in that process. If you have literal IRS agents showing up wanting

Muscle memory. We've been doing gzip for decades and we are too lazy to remember the zstd commands to tar, assuming the installed version of tar has been updated.

Unfortunately, yes. @HeatrayEnjoyer said it well. 80k new jobs is barely slowing the problem down.

Nothing. The phone number service does not use mobile networks, it uses the Internet via XMPP/Jabber. Connections to the Internet is your problem. Or buy the JMP Data Plan, which is a separate product all together.

The IRS has been chronically under-funded for decades. They probably are not trying to be malicious, they are just over-worked and can't keep up. Their software system is many, many decades old and their staffing shortages are chronic.

I mean they are the best of the big tech companies, by a country mile, but that's not really saying a lot. If you want the full details, go read the privacy policy with a skeptic's perspective.

You can totally make binaries with Python, there are even many, many ways to do so. None really come out of the box, and some assembly is usually required, but if you want to do it, you can. That someone is too lazy to do so is not Python&

Or just use decimal numbers instead. Decimal libraries abound. Then you can do rounding however your jurisdiction/bank/etc does it too.

As a sign language user, I wouldn't say it has anything near significant adoption, but I would agree in terms of writing systems for signed language, it's one of the most well known ones. That said, I've never, ever seen it u

I'm not sure it ever was that way, but it was perhaps less prevalent before the rise of social media, where it's now very easy to see one's views. > If I’m engaged in a business transaction I don’t care about the personal

The best way to handle service accounts is nobody knows the password. When X needs to troubleshoot, they change the password, do what needs to be done, then change it again afterwards, to some unknown value. It's a lot easier if you au

Well except for the period of time between them quitting and the new month rolls around. You really should change passwords the second they leave. Yes it's a PITA, but you should do it anyway.

I'd be interested, more so in the Highsense one that includes cell data, but they all run outdated, EOL Android. That's a non-starter for something connected to the internet with anything remotely important on it.

It's not super easy. Both sides of the issue have fair points. Clearly it's not going to happen within upstream signal any time soon(if ever). So it would have to be a fork, and so far nobody seems particularly motivated enough.
