In earlier life, I authored this exact product (including distributed deploy) for a large investment bank and a fintech startup :) This is immensely valuable to a lot of Python devs, especially in finance/quant community. Great work! E

It is quite plausible that Russia would try to take down parts of Ukraine internet given everything going on. Alternatively, could simply be someone fat-fingering things, given the insane numbers of blocks that RosKomNadzon has been putting

This reads like a machine that has DEP enabled and getting locked remotely ;) On a more serious note, I ran macs on multiple occasions without an AppleID - it presents maybe one nag a month, usually when you accidentally open “Messages”. Mi

Who needs SWATing when you can send a CP pic (either real or with hash collision as per the thread few days ago) from a virtual overseas number/service and get FBI van to show up as well? What about injecting code into a public website

Is there a more appropriate word to describe this? Honest question as a non-native English speaker. Seems like this is a commonly used term/usage: https://www.google.com/amp/s/dictionary.cambridge.org/us&

The original is a delight to read. Sadly, I can't help but wonder how many would be "triggered" by the answers today. How do we, as a society, start accepting rational self-criticism again?

Apple watch gives a moisture warning if the speaker port has water inside. Happens often after swimming or running in rain.

Russia already has law in works to make possession of StarLink hardware illegal. There was some coverage in January: https://m.slashdot.org/story/380606

I took an iPhone X into a 3 foot deep swimming pool to take an underwater selfie (don’t ask, not the proudest moment) and it promptly died - apparently if you drop the phone, the water tight seal has a tendency to fail “silently”. Caveat Em

Speaking about at least NYC, the nightclub prices have gone just a little bit too nuts right before Covid - think $2k for a table for 4 with a single bottle of ($30 dollar) vodka. $25 mix drinks were a norm. Combined with lack of innovative

That’s exactly right, but doing so makes the process much more illiquid.

Who would control the listing of a company’s shares? A startup can choose to simply not make itself available. Similarly, most employees overlook things like right of first refusal that their parent cos have over their shares. This is an aw

Mercedes has a good demo video about current state of this tech (EU only) - when you drive a car with it, it’s literally magical. Alternative tech uses a projector-like screen with 4K resolution, allowing for very precise light control. Her

The laserlights, like ones marketed by BMW, are not shining the laser outward into the world - they use them to warm up phosphor which in turn produces “regular” light. In a sense, it’s somewhat akin to an old school incandescent bulb, but

Arrangements like this are much harder in US because 1) by default there is no health insurance if you’re a contractor, and obtaining your own is incredibly expensive and 2) there are also pretty complex tax implications of being a contract

Resumes are much harder to enforce, so they tend to be juicier. But if someone comes in and starts spewing clearly proprietary stuff, its a huge red flag during hiring.

Yes. In finance, pretty much all you do is proprietary and all opensource work must be painfully precleared, so most of GHs for people are empty. Most companies (even megabanks) also have strict rules what you can and can't put on your

+1 on spelling. Having gone through thousands of resumes, I've seen some hilarious things. I'd never take away points for a couple of errors, but blatant ones are definitely a turn off. Also, a public service announcement: if you

Hi Steve, nice to see you on here and doing well! :) My first thought was Athena as well, but it could be Quartz (it started in 08-09 at BaML, vs Athena starting in 2006). Both Citi and Barcap also tried (albeit to less success than JPM&#x2

Instead of writing an uninformed and clickbait article that plugs author’s startup at the end, a simple email to GH support would have sufficed.

A new set of wheels for your average Honda or Toyota costs just about as much. I want these and I don’t even own a Mac Pro. ;)

United just posted their updated rules and that’s exactly what they’re doing - you can call in and request adjacent seats. Otherwise it’s one apart.

Open a document and go to "Review" ribbon and then click "Compare...". You can do "Combine" which is effectively a merge interface.

Word already has a diff view implementation that is pretty robust - it’s very useful for figuring out what changed across manually-versioned documents. This is in addition to classical track changes feature. Adobe Acrobat also has a diff (i

As a bit of an aside, it is surprising how concise and to-the-point each of the articles (points) are. Compared to contracts written in modern legalese or your typical website TOS this looks almost "dumbed down" and yet it was one

I feel that many of these pseudo-secure, proprietary enhancements to email create a false sense of security for non-tech-savvy users. Given the smoke-and-mirrors presentation of this as a way to "secure your email^tm" and the plet

Having recently gotten a new BMW (in USA), they give you a huge packet of about 30 pages explaining the BMW TeleService and the "SOS" button. They also make you sign a power of attorney-style doc giving them rights to notify polic

Perhaps they're turning to group chats and imessages? Any meaningful use of instagram, snap, or similar platform introduces ads into your "friend news stream", whereas simplicity of whatsapp or similar platform avoids them, w
