Not sure why you are being downvoted here. It's a fair point and properly escaping your data is only one part of the overall security picture but you should also be strictly validating data at the inputs to your system too.

I just don't understand this at all. Perhaps if they said they intended to record the interview I'd be a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, did you hide your identity in face to face interviews? Do you refuse to enter buildings with

Oh christ. What absolute nonsense.

Emm, yes? What do you think they are going to do with it. They are also considering giving you access to potentially a vast amount of their IP and maybe even customer data.

Many US trucks are of a design which has barely changed since the 1960s. I can't find any good references but I'd bet that the DAF CF of early 2000s design has a better survival rate than a similar vintage Peterbuilt 379.

I wouldn't eat beef if it was raised in those conditions but it doesn't reflect the reality of most British beef rearing operations. Most British beef is fed predominantly a forage based diet, outside in pasture except during the

Hear hear! The catastrophizing in some of the comments is a bit much. However, there are plenty of gotchas in installing a EV charger, even a commercial off the shelf one. The regulations are generally pretty tight and are intended to prote

I like the idea but in all honesty I have difficulty imagining it working in practice. Once your python code is stable (i.e. You've worked out 99% of the bugs you might have caught earlier with strict type checking) would there be any

This might be my prejudice but when someone talks about offshoring a role, moving it to Munich isn't the first thing that comes to mind. It may be slightly cheaper than California but not by so much that if expect it to be the main rea

If I understand it correctly the definition of high speed rail in the UK is above 125mph. Apparently that's the fastest you can safely use conventional line side signalling (traffic lights).

We once got flights to Florida from Glasgow for £49 fly drive off of Teletext. Booked it Tuesday and flew out on Thursday. Those where the days!

It would need a more serious analysis to really get to the bottom of that but I think would hypothesise that electric cars being significantly more expensive than the equivalent ICE changes the dynamic slightly. It's harder to justify

Electric cars are financially a lot of money up front for fairly minor savings long term. Which isn't so bad with interest rates in the 1-2% but with interest rates on car loans running around 8% it's a very difficult sell.

The turn around in narrative from the pseudo-Libertarian community is fucking hilarious to me. Remember when big government and their industrial cronies conspired to kill the electric car? Cars with a fraction of the range or performance of

Give it 10 years and your mid-price android phone will be running models that would make ChatGPT look like baby talk.

I don't think they were being racist for what it's worth. Putting it another way, if Elon Musk was born in South Africa and happened to be black, I doubt he'd so easily be given a pass as an American. Every article would star

You would have to admit that passing the "looks white to me" test helps a lot in being culturally accepted as an American. You don't have to go very far to find counter examples. Even in this comment section people talk about

Tesla are still producing cars which have the same design elements as the Model S did in 2012. I'm amazed they have pulled that off but maybe the lack of "freshness" is also hurting their bottom line?

It's a super common form of theft in the UK at the moment. Not sure exactly what equipment they are using but it's clearly consumer level.

I struggle to believe that. I've found Copilot / ChatGPT really useful, especially for doing support investigation tasks (chopping and filtering logs mainly). Not once has it just output a perfect answer - it's required me to

We afford old people in their last days less compassion than a dog. I look forward to the day when we look back at this as a moral outrage. Our family have recently been in the situation where my partners 85 year old grandfather, who someti

Exercise is a thing for me. It really helps when I do something regularly but it's not something which comes naturally to me. Other than that, I think all of the tips and blogs aren't useful -- except if they give you that little

I think a sensible option, if you live in a place where electrical grids goes out for a couple of days fairly routinely, would be a transfer switch and a generator. If sized well enough you could use it to run a resistance heater (the cheap

The wide range ones are basically two heat pumps back to back using different working fluids. They should only be used in applications where they are really required as there are obviously impacts to the COP.

Yeah, I've never really fancied a dual clutch bike. We have one in our car and I only really use it in manual mode when towing - it's easier to change down before a hill than let the DCT get half way up and realise it needs to cha

I used to ride a SV650 before we had kids. Honestly, I can't think of a fuel efficiency figure which would make me think "I have to have that!" You just don't spend that much on fuel on a motorbike, even commuting about

Haha, lots of our ops guys ride motorbikes too! Never thought of the connection though. One of those needs further research things for sure.

Yeah, I'm sure mountain climbers feels safer on the ground, sailors feel safer tied to a dock and pilots feel safer having a cup of tea in the airfield cafe. Maximising safety isn't a very good recipe for a fulfilling life, for mo
