Another, related, issue would be the existence of two authors with the same name who both publish under their birth names. I don't see how they could be a 'trade mark' so to speak unless there was an intent to commit identity

I'm pretty sure the GP's point was that the US shouldn't have .gov/.mil etc, every country essentially has a form of government and military — And besides .gov.us would be more explicit.

No one? That's a rather brash statement to make. Here in Ireland I can count on zero hands how many people use credit cards on a day to day basis. Debit cards are the norm in much of the EU I would assume.

Your url comment reminds me of the concept of the semantic web [0] Whereby we can have a structured machine readable and pure URL structure backed by ontology and linked data. There's a project that is working on this for Wikipedia cal

As another post has commented, in Ireland we indeed use C13 cables, and it's pretty common to use this term for that here !

With physical access, sure. The same could be said for shutdown with physical access. Nothing stopping the user without group membership from holding down the power button or unplugging the kettle cable.

React Native is essentially just writing web apps, once RN has css grid I will be happy enough with everything it has. There's something to be said for writing web apps in RN purely for the option of porting to iOS, Android and even Ma

What I'd love to see with this is a way to use supabase auth itself as an idP/SAMP provider. Have your tools (back-office tools and what not) written in native supabase, or have multiple supabase projects with the one shared auth

I'm working on several RN + Supabase projects and it just works ! There were a few kinks initially, like URL polyfil being missing from RN and the need for AsyncStorage alongside supabase.js but they've all been rectified by the t

I'm a huge fan of the scrimba[0] style of teaching. They're a fairly well established startup now, whose content style involves having a screen cast be recorded with an interactive code editor, review window and slides which you c

(Disclaimer: I work as an online Tutor for an Irish EduTech company which teaches children ages 8-18 to code via after-school and weekend classes.) This article has the right idea. Our style of teaching varies on the kids age. Younger kids

I don't think I have seen classes with many parameters to avoid varargs in Java, however I have certainly seen classes with dozens of Type Parameters, I believe some form of code generation was responsible. Can't for the life of m

Kodi is just the media suite, what add-ons one installs in it is neither their concern or their liability. The same goes for similar offerings like Jellyfin/Plex, if the end user uses a pirated streaming service that is on them and the

Chrome's equivalent is http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204 for those curious, and plenty of other browsers have their own. Neat tools as until I learned of the existence of these ssl-less sites to prompt captive portal

It's mostly plug and play; on desktop install the browser extension and it just works! There is some tuning to be done based on your own personal preference as you can tune it to _only_ skip sponsors, but by default it skips a variety

The ransom was not paid, to the best of my knowledge, indirectly via a contractor as you stated or directly. https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0520/1222857-hse-weekly-briefin... This is the government-funded news

This report was released 9 days ago, this hack was widely discussed on HN when it happened ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27152402 ) and I thought the formal postmortem would be of interest !

Depending on your feeling towards the ethics of it: YouTube Vanced (3rd party YouTube app) with its integrated sponsorblock actually makes the app pleasant to use, it also unlocks some of the premium only features like background play. No r

I usually wait until I have content to backup prior to setting up backups, and definitely wouldn't be in my mind in the "first 5 minutes." If you're concerned you will lose 5 minutes of work make use of snapshotting if a

And besides that, it's very easy to bypass those restrictions anyway. The most common would be to screen _record_ prior to opening, that usually isn't detected — or alternatively, for us rooted users just use a screenshot app whic

Significant whitespace is one of the things that irks me the most about the likes of Python, I'll take C-style braces over significant whitespace any day. I actually prefer the Rust approach here as well, removing the single-statement

100%. I love this font, I've switched my terminal emulator and GEdit to use it too. It's available under the SIL Open Font License as well, which is pretty neat — not that I have any use for a monospaced font outside of personal u
