I was just able to create a new google account with no phone number.

I have absolutely no clue what I've done to make it work this way (if anything), but in zsh running a command with !$ (last word from the previous command) I get the opportunity to edit the interpolated version first.

I was able to swing $230 total for two x230s with the base i5 and ssds last fall/winter (actually three, but the third doesn't really count (arrived damaged, seller initiated a refund then ghosted, got a full refund from ebay)). I

Reminding people that this is a viable threat model is why sudolph.in exists, albeit for the drive-by someone-left-their-laptop-unlocked case rather than regular local privilege escalation. I should probably add a check for catching someone

I'm not sure exactly what you're after, but the Hiragana Pro/Katakana Pro apps (android only, I believe) have two practice modes: choice from three pronunciations as you mentioned, as well as typing romaji with no hints. The

I could see this as a reason to keep "you might also like ____" lists short, but for languages/subtitles I'm going to seek out one of the four languages that's even slightly useful for me to switch to.

At least recently, HSTS failures could still be bypassed if you really wanted to (if, say, you made the bad choice of using the .dev tld for private domains). It's just completely undiscoverable for good reason.

Team discovery could be a pain, but channel discovery within a team is pretty much everything I would expect it to be.

This is pretty much* how the Keybase filesystem works, with the added benefit of using more identities than just emails/usernames. Even if you only know someone's Twitter handle or reddit account, you can have this same workflow.

I ended up writing a mostly-declarative tool for managing my mix of docker-composed and init-system-ed services at home when that got too unmanageable.

Raku is not the direct successor to Perl, active Perl development continues.

On the other side of things, my favorite demo for people new to docker who aren't yet aware that sudoless docker ~~ root access is: docker run -itv /:/host ubuntu chroot /host

I have a friend who does this for free. Every single thing I've ever shown him (both my software and that of others) breaks as soon as he gets his hands on it. He's the sort to dig as far into the internals of things as he can and

Agreed. I don't use them often but I made sure to program discrete volume/media/brightness controls into my keyboard.

You could have both, I've never needed to hold down escape or tap control. That said, I've had caps lock bound to backspace for years, so I'm not advocating for something I do myself.

Thanks, I'll definitely keep it in mind. MAIN is probably what I should point to as P6's killer feature for things of this scope. I tend to get sidetracked by math/functional features when I demo things even though stuff like

Thanks! I'll see what I can do about writing things up and posting them somewhere. My site is a mess at the moment (always has been), but maybe this will motivate me to do something about that.

I don't necessarily want to wade into the discussion on the tone of the article, but I do want to detail something I've used Perl 6 for that makes me really enjoy working with the language. I've noticed a trend in threads whe

A similar thing happens to me when I fly. My boarding passes usually truncate the middle name field which in my case (typically) results in the name of a religious figure rather than an uncommon or obviously truncated name. This has never b

Speaking as an only mildly colorblind person, I still tend not to use color to differentiate things. Even when it's two colors I can easily tell the difference between, I don't reach for color as a disambiguating feature unless I

The Sony WH-1000XM series (possibly the next segment down as well?) still has this feature and I've found it good enough to be useful. On planes it's simpler than pausing/removing the headphones to order a drink and the same

That may be a Firefox on Windows issue (not that it helps you in this case). I regularly have ~1000 tabs open in Firefox on Linux with no issues (related to tabs and performance, anyway). The only related issue for me recently was a failure

Where's the fun in having the number of open tabs visible instead of just ':D'? I honestly can't remember the last time that was the case on my phone.

In the case of a traditional filesystem, similarly unfortunate memory corruption would just affect the actual data directly. Forgoing ZFS throws out the happy path where the checksum does catch a data error and repairs it transparently. E

If that's the case, it must have changed at some point. Lastpass and Duo both support multiple U2F keys, and have for at least a couple of years. I have two keys registered with Duo for login at my school and also through Lastpass&#x27

The pricing page seems to be wrong either way, but the main page claims 300,000 total users with 24,000 using it daily.

Around the lab I work at we do a similar thing, always some variation on dolphins. Dolphin background, messaging a dolphin on slack, etc. It's recently escalated to sudolphin-ing (think a sudo alias involving cowsay and you're on
