Even if we can't find ways to improve, we should continue to try.

False positives are never a _should_ thing, they're a "best we can do, and worth the cost" thing (or not). It's entirely reasonable to push for a better system, one with fewer false positives (and false negatives).

It matters because high blood sugar isn't great for the body (nor is low blood sugar). A normal, non-diabetic's blood sugar might spike to 120/130 after a balanced meal. But that same person's blood sugar might spike up

That's not a fair representation of what happened. That study was going for _aggressive_ control - beyond what any normal person would do. They were combining multiple drugs to force blood sugar down rapidly, including right after meal

Adding any amount of milk to a coffee adds carbs. And a large number of people add _some_ amount of milk.

Seeing just how much rice can impact your blood sugar is eye opening. Sticking to a "half the normal amount" of rice when eating Indian/Asian food can help a lot with blood sugar. And keeping blood sugar in check _seems_ to h

The question was less about speed and more about not having the same code duplicated over and over across tests. Which is how I read the article talking about it. Allowing one test to "depend" on another makes it clear they use th

I agree, both with your analysis of him and your review of "Tidy first?". We read and discussed it at work, and I enjoyed it a lot.

The YAML spec/parse _itself_ does interpolation and logic - incorrectly in some cases. YAML is pretty much never the right solution.

But don't they just "call" from a different number? Or a random number each time? There's no real verification on the number being called from - its specified _by_ the caller a lot of the time. So unless the phone compan

And how is it better than a password + password manager? Literally everything about what is described is worse than a password + manager.

by RHSeeger 2mo ago
It is relatively easy to pick a password length/composition that's pretty much impossible to guess, too. So the benefit you're list is for the company (that has to deal with people picking bad passwords), not the person using

But most password programs do this too, if you install the plugin (which you pretty much need if you want those same programs to do the passkey thing, anyways)

Everything you said is _also_ true if you use a password manager than can interact with the browser (which you're already doing). Plus, that doesn't have the negatives/limitations of passkeys.

Is that online activation Steam or is it a third party thing? Steam allows selling games that have external DRM like that. I think they, themselves, don't do it. That doesn't invalidate your other point.

by RHSeeger 2mo ago
Can't you download your game off steam and play it forever; and if it can't connect to the service, it will just let you play offline? Sure, that loses out on the ability to transfer it to a friend, but it's better.
