Hrm, based on this: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/orgs/#add-a-member-to-a-t... I see that Docker doesn't actually offer an AWS-style enterprise account that one can use to hand authorization to developer

If it's ok for us to deal with violent people by: a) gunning them down in the streets b) beating the shit out of them c) injecting them with hilarious overdoses of drugs and crossing our fingers then why would we pay for police? If tha

>I also don't think that appeals to "is that legal" are all that satisfying I've always used the rule of thumb that if the best thing someone can say about their behavior or decisions is that they aren't illegal,

Yep. The late 90's and early 2000's was littered with people trying to make "light" copies of MS Word. The problem is that journalists need the wordcount feature, and teachers need the wordart feature. Remove either, you

Local councils can create some value by allowing people to pay council taxes, fees and fines with the issued currency. Enough to peg it 1:1 with the USD? I'll be honest, I don't know how countries like panama manage that, so hell

When I first set up my requirements.txt's, I usually set up a venv, install the things that I need and then run "pip freeze" to get a list of all deps including transitive deps, and put them all in the requirements.txts. I do

Leaving aside my visceral reaction to attaching mandatory trackers to people: >The “BioButton” is wearable technology that monitors your vitals, including temperature and heart-rate, in real time. It can last for up to 90 days. It’s mean

I've always been a fan of the sqlite licence: https://sqlite.org/copyright.html Basically sqlite is public domain if your country recognizes that kind of thing. If it doesn't, then sqlite doesn't care and wil

I also prefer appimages as the "least worst" of the three. However, a quick note: As someone who unofficially maintains a linux port of my companies software, I have considered packaging it as an appimage, but there's one pro

I use ublock origin to selectively block the consent boxes. I've never yet seen a website which says "our backend has noticed you have not yet consented, you may not continue".

I gave quite a few statically-compilable language a try a few years back before settling on nim as my "fat binary" language of choice. D was a contender, but ultimately the reason I dropped it was I was unable to compile a hello w

I've not yet found that to be the case, although I fear that one day it will. I generally find that all you need to do is tell people their solution is not acceptable. All the banks in Iceland are trying really hard to convince people

>It's that I, a user, cannot choose to sideload an app That's only half the equation. I run android, but have no google account. I have always used a combination of aptoide, f-droid and manually downloaded apk's for my app

>PayPal cookies stored on the buyer's computer That's probably why. I use addons that autodelete cookies as soon as I leave webpages because no one has the luxury of pretending they don't know how badly cookies are abused

I've been waiting for this to come out. Unfortunately, I tried to buy the pinetime late last year and discovered they only sell through paypal and you need an account to make the payment, you can't just pay by credit card. If ther

Now the server has to store the password in plain text so it can rehash with the new nonce every time.

That's the opposite of a smart appliance to be honest. You can use minimodem[1] to scream a file across the room from one computers speakers to another computers modem. It's a cute trick but requires very little in the way of comp

I have been habitually sending "I have finished using your service, could you please delete my account" emails since around 2008 or so. Prior to GDPR, 9 replies in 10 would be polite but dismissive responses, basically telling me

It was partly that, but they also dropped the ball on their core demographic. Things like pushing mandatory updates via "experiments", shoving pocket in everyone's faces, killing XUL. I can't remember what it was they di

That also depended on the project. With the right ports forwarded on your home router, servers can pop up and down as required. Mercurial had a single command for this, "hg serve", that would just pop up a webserver for sharing. I

My experience is that people will be happy to use other things if you just ask them to, and have a ready-to-go solution on hand. Just say "teams doesn't work well on my computer, it's very poorly made. Can we use jitsimeet? I

I can't speak for this one, I gave the OCZ NIA a spin when it was released probably more than a decade ago now, and what I found was that mostly it picked up the electrical interference from all the low quality DC transformer plugpacks
