Not really -- any secrets stored using this method should also live in a password manager somewhere. It's about providing more-secure programmatic access to secrets. Basically, it rebuilds Windows DPAPI from first principles, which i

Ah, yes, I see... Are the known security issues that Telegram stubbornly refuse to fix in the room with us right now?

Yeah, I have some bad news about that huge bug bounty you're expecting... ChatGPT was wrong, and there is no way to close the HackerNews account you just created, so all the abuse that deservedly comes your way will , in fact, be on y

DAC frequency and the audio format requirements for whatever you supply to your platform audio API have literally nothing to do with each other. My reply was from an audio mastering perspective.

> it's probably worth avoiding the resampling of 44.1 to 48 kHz Ehhm, yeah, duh? You don't resample unless there is a clear need, and even then you don't upsample and only downsample, and you tell anyone that tries to conv

Depends on the type of cable assembly. If it's fiber strands inside a soft-ish plastic jacket (and most of the cable is in fact in conduit), a service loop is fine, albeit a bit pointless for most repair scenarios. For armored cables (

Good conduit and patch panel design is definitely key for a happy life. Leaving some extra space/capacity initially is also a good idea, especially since (unless you're covering truly great distances) there's not exactly a lo

Those 10 loops definitely only apply to the single mode fibre itself, not the entire assembly with armor and everything, because that's just... physically impossible. Cables for direct burial only like to be bent once or twice, and the

There's no link to the data sheet of the actual cable, but, yeah, looks like this should not have happened in such a short timeframe unless there's something really funny going on in that room, like ambient temperatures above 50

Well, I can travel around most of Europe without a passport right now ? ID card will do just fine, even though, really, nobody ever asks me for that either. Meanwhile, my life expectancy is, like at least twice that 'prior to WW1&#x27

You'd be surprised at how cheap, relatively safe and reliable bus services are in those regions. Source: me and my wife traveled extensively by public transport in, well, at least Pakistan. The other countries are indeed sort-of hairy,

Well, these days you can catch a Flixbus from London to Sofia for a mere 150 Europounds, and 48 hours of your time. And from there, Calcutta can't be that far, right? (But, seriously, you can probably do it in another 48 hours...)

Note that the complete title is "How Samba was Written", but apparently there is a list of unapproved interrogative adverbs... Also note that since the MS-EU settlement, the SMB protocol is quite extensively, if a bit passive-aggr

Yeah, I did in fact read the original article, and the glossy (unreadable) and undated photographs did not convince me. Therefore, the Taco Bell comparison, and the rest of my comment.

by ZeroConcerns 8mo ago
So, ehhm, yeah, I sort-of question the data in this article. A US$5.50 burrito in Downtown SF in 2014? Nah... even Taco Bell takeout was already more expensive than that at the time. Also: sure, some places overdo it on the pricing: I disti

So, my initial reaction that "Tailwind Plus" only offers apparent value for React users is... entirely valid?

I just had a more-detailed look, and I'm not sure where I'd find the pure-HTML stuff? From https://tailwindcss.com/plus/templates/pocket#pricing : "Our website templates are built using Next.js, so a

by ZeroConcerns 8mo ago
That's sad to hear, if true, and I'd have gladly paid for Tailwind if they'd had a "OK, so you use our CSS indirectly" program in place. I'm aware of "Tailwind Plus", but that seems to be React-only,

Well, locals called it propane, but I didn't exactly "send it to trace for analysis." Generally, you (and your toolbox) only spent a few minutes out of every working hour outside. And your toolbox would definitely be room-tem

Well, the source article is from El Reg , where objectivity is something to eventually strive for, but if it gets in the way of clicks, facts are definitely not a friend. And, somehow, that strategy seems to keep working decade after dec

Interesting choice of tourism destination, but quite cool (no pun intended...) regardless. One of the most annoying things about working with anything metal at those temperatures, is that your tools will pretty much instantly become stuck

That's not media manipulation (social or otherwise). Even if you don't subscribe to the "if it bleeds, it leads" mantra (first commonly used in... the 1890s!), it's not that hard to understand why reporting on unc

That wasn't meant as a criticism, more like some additional context. With how irrelevant the Microsoft Store is these days, I can't blame anyone for skipping over it...
