E-reader. Went for the latest Kindle Paperwhite as it can adjust the colour temperature as well.

I always aim to stop doing anything with high cognitive load at least half an hour before getting ready for bed. Not necessarily no screen time, but coding stops, and the remaining time is spent gaming or watching TV, or I go to bed early a

I agree with you, but given that a lot of car theft is now done by exploiting the keyless entry system, it feels like there'd be easier targets.

8GB RAM and no active cooling would be miserable. Mac Mini is the best bang for buck at the moment. I have an M1 Air as well, but if I'm away from my desk and doing anything that would push the SOC hard, I remote into my Mini.

Love it when it forgets the Mac apps exist, and launches Maps or Calendar in phone mirroring. I use mirroring a fair bit, but never for anything where I have the Mac app installed.

Ye some of the weirdest issues I've fixed have been PSU related. I had a PC come to me that would boot fine, but if you opened the CD drive it'd shut off instantly.

Ye, kick off into some higher-level language instead of being at the mercy of your CI provider's plugins. I use Fastlane extensively on mobile, as it reduces boilerplate and gives enough structure that the inherent risk of depending on

> Why is it push to enter, pull to exit at all? So that in an emergency your escape route can't be blocked. Also having doors swing out into corridors is bad practice as you're more likely to open it into someone walking past.

And those stupid stylised "fonts" that create problems for screenreaders by using obscure Unicode characters.

I thought that as we're seeing issues with LON, but their Manchester POP is also down and that didn't have any maintenance this morning.

You can't put one app on top of another, so that mitigates at least the 1st stage of this kind of attack.

USB4 is supposed to have proper labels: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2602229/better-usb-labels-ar... I don't know if that necessarily helps though, because I've seen USB3 cables that seemingly have th

And again in 2010, although as far as I'm aware this was just based on speculation and it was never proved that it was intentional, or that the optimisation would have netted the gains the author said: https://web.archive.or

Yeah there was this the other day, although I'd expect the hardware for this is much smaller than is shown in the photos in the OP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45294766

I'd say it's a mixture of chaos engineering and load testing. They know what performance they need for a safe flight, but they want to know how much margin of error they've got (and how close their simulations are), and what

They've borrowed the name from the CloudKey/Dream Machine to make it clear that this will have parity, instead of what we had previously where you could only run some of the apps in isolation that would normally be bundled in the

The criminals will just use something that hides in plain sight. I think it was Encrochat devices that booted into a fairly vanilla looking OS, and there was another platform where it was hidden in something like a calculator app.

Does the Yandex HTTPS one mean they're shipping the private key for their cert in the app, therefore anything running on localhost (or on a network with poisoned DNS) can spoof the yandexmetrica site? There is a cert for it in the logs

I thought they did for resources and JS, which is why Meta have to use WebRTC instead? I think the Yandex one slips through because CORS does a naive check against just what's in the header, not what it resolves to?

If you go into System Preferences and disable "Displays have separate Spaces" it'll keep the dock and app switcher on your primary display. I'm not a Spaces user so not sure what impact this has outside of the dock behav

I wish I could block any IP that runs CPanel and Wordpress. Every time a server is hammering our corporate firewall, I know that if I put it into Shodan, it's going to be running out of date versions of those two. It's rare they c
