That's an interesting find thanks. I was not aware of no-cors mode. It seems though that a browser would not allow 'non-simple' headers in no-cors mode[0]. Authorization headers for example would not be allowed (if i'm r

Continuously consuming refined sugar and highly processed carbs is relatively new. The resulting insulin production inhibits fat oxidation and increases fat storage.

> his old employer used non-protected but difficult-to-find preview links for ticketing pages. Oh come on, I find it difficult to have sympathy for a company that does this. It's a ticking time bomb, and certainly not hacking.

Forgive my ignorance, but why do you believe he is a fraud? There are a lot of public 'scientists' who have never been peer-reviewed. I have enjoyed listening to quite a bit of Lex's content and to say 'Lex is a fraud&#x

This seems like a terrible move. Even if the prices are extortionate, how can eBay take away people's right to protect themselves? Surely educating and empowering the general population to take their own measures to prevent the spread

I'd be interested to hear how Slack patched this. Hopefully by removing the ability to apply settings from URLs altogether, rather than attempting any sort of sanitisation on the download settings.

I don't think you understood my point. Blocking websites is not scrutiny of the intelligence services. I'm saying an individual with weapons doxed himself and telegraphed his intentions on a public forum and the security services

The Christchurch shooter amassed a cache of weapons, and also posted a copy of his manifesto and a link to his real Facebook account to 4chan. The censorship/Facebook algorithms amplifying abhorrent content debate is one thing but I&#x

I'm a fan of liquibase. It's a very mature tool which allows you to run it every time the application starts, useful for development to create in-memory dbs. Or you can just call it as part of the build process if you don't w

Could you not apply the same logic to any occupation? I get out of bed, head to an office and build software on the orders of those who pay me, I get summoned to meetings at their behest, I work long hours, only stopping to go to the toilet

Permissions to read text messages is another one that gets me. I know not many people use SMS as their primary communication but how can you be so astonishingly blasé about your data to save typing in a code?

Not my screw up but working for a fairly large e-commerce site we had a cron job to pick up 'stuck' orders and push them down to the warehouse every 30 minutes. For a combination of reasons there was one order which was picked up

Agreed. From their actions in the last couple of days it would appear these governments can hardly take the moral high ground. I'm sure I'll get downvoted for discounting China's concentration camps and social credit programs

This is taking advantage of both the customer and the worker. I am not an instacart user myself but I use similar services and I expect that any tip will be delivered to the driver. I'd be pissed off to find out otherwise.

Very interesting read. I'm not convinced that Postgres should be used for every aspect of a data processing pipeline yet but the author has certainly proved it is possible. You also seem to get a lot of features for free that people us

Agreed, I'm 2 pages in, the content renders too wide for mobile and I'm still none the wiser about what a service worker is. Very frustrating.
