I've long been impressed by https://simplesamlphp.org/ which is led by UNINETT, a state-owned company responsible for Norway's National Research and Education Network. It's a serious competitor to Shibboleth

I did notice a bug with this... I had a magic link for authentication in Gmail that used a `+` symbol in a URL, e.g. ` http://example.com/token/abcd123+3cf== ` and ClearURLs ended up convering the `+` to a `%20` which ca

I am wondering if Cloudflare is gearing up to be a true competitor to AWS a la GCP and Azure. All it'd take is an EC2-like offering for them to have everything many companies need. You can build out the rest of your managed services (e

Just wanted to say you're not crazy - the ads have gotten bad even on the desktop. Ad blockers obviously solve the problem, but the UX is terrible if you're in the majority that doesn't use one. I took this as an early sign o

I sometimes use a variation of this with others who are stuck: I just choose one for them. Half the time they accept it, and the other half of the time they go the other way. :)

I'm not saying it's a FF issue, I'm saying the issue is present on FF and I haven't tested it in other browsers.

Another annoyance with hovering on Firefox - hovering over the image itself doesn't seem to work, you have to hover over the text near it.

The dictionary defines a minor as "a person under the age of full legal responsibility" which I think teenagers would still fall under, even in Australia? Understandably the term might be used differently or more loosely elsewhere

In the US, they cannot arrest you without probable cause. They can however detain you while they figure out what's going on. Imprisoning is a much later step after being arrested. When you're arrested you may end up in a holding c

Teenagers are minors. Doesn't sound like a very trusting environment.

When I was a child, my mother refused to buy me any computers. I had to earn money mowing lawns and raking leaves to buy a laptop. Once I had a laptop, she told me she wished there was software she could install on all of her children'

The most disappointing part of the redesign to me was that they actually REMOVED icons from menu items. It is harder to find what I'm looking for.

Unfortunately "use X from the beginning" is rarely a solution when you're no longer at the beginning.

Thank you for the suggestion - as a med student, she has an iPad that can access certain medical resources, and is already an iPhone user, so I don't know if SyncThing is really an option for her. I'm not sure that most users can

100% - Anki "does the job" but it has a lot of sharp edges. It's software that users are afraid to use.

IIRC, it's basically just that if she leaves Anki up on her Macbook without explicitly syncing & exiting, and then tries to use her iPhone or iPad, she will lose state on one of the devices. It's a lot of cognitive overhead to

Watching my med student girlfriend use Anki the past few years has been horrible. The syncing in particular is bad, as you pointed out - and bad in a "irreversible data loss" kind of way. I've thought about trying to create s
