Something not being on SO is normally my first indicator that I've stumbled upon something interesting. I consider it a good thing.

Mine did that for a while, then it resolved itself. Maybe it takes some time for all instances in a group to agree they are encrypted; I also think at least one of my groups marked itself encrypted after everyone in it had posted at least o

Apple's description is here https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf , and you can find varying quality of discussion in the media by searching for Secure Enclave. Basically, the Secure Encla

No, they're referring to the 256-bit AES keys in the CPU and Secure Enclave, which are entangled with the user PIN to derive the crypto key.

XP came out the same year as 10.0, which was rubbish. OS X wasn't really worthwhile until 10.3.

7/19/15 is immediately and irredeemably ugly to me, because I'm not in the U.S. Quick, someone from Europe types in 9/10/15, do they want to travel in September or October?

For me, having kids amplified the daily grind. I hated leaving in the morning before they got up, and returning after they were in bed. Luckily this is a profession where at least some aspects of the grind are optional, and now I work rem

If you're in a position to use it, I much prefer Anotar with Fody https://github.com/Fody/Anotar Commons.Logging always felt clunky in comparison.

The problem I have with these rants is I just don't recognise this characterisation of a facebook user at all. I have an account. I check it on my phone a couple of times a day, never post anything apart from the occasional baby photo

Over time I have come to the conclusion that one of the best ways to identify a really interesting problem is when your attempts to google a solution come up blank. Google doesn't have all the answers, and if it becomes literally your

That's really interesting. I've noticed that complaining on Twitter often helps things get moving when the telephone support is giving you the run-around, but I always assumed that was because I was airing their dirty laundry publ

Doesn't that just mean that as a wannabe criminal I buy my iPhone from some no-extradition-treaty country, safe in the knowledge that the FBI's keys aren't on it?

Dunno about that. Here in the UK you can buy a product clearly labelled as pork belly, and it's not the same as bacon. It isn't cured, and is cut much thicker with more fat. It's great.

The irony being that the breast is the least-flavourful, blandest part of the chicken, and all those years he was actually dining on the best bits without knowing?

I'm fine with them too. I like the hubbub.

I wouldn't call it a "crazy" item, but I do love me one of BK's Angry Whoppers which is significantly different (read: it actually has a bit of spice to it) to the offerings of most big burger chains.

I also am nearly 40. I plan to take my kids on an extended jaunt round Europe when they are 10 or so, but personally I am much more likely to choose resort holidays or cruises for myself rather than extended backpacker-style adventures. It&

When a company I used to work for announced its first ever round of layoffs, I volunteered to get cut. Took the payoff and got the hell out.

I did come home early. Still regret it.

I'm going to be the voice of dissent here and say only go travelling if you really want to (you say 'part of you' would love to go - how big a part?) Travelling isn't for everybody. Personally I'm a homebody and I

I caved and started reading A Song Of Ice And Fire after Game of Thrones S4 finished broadcasting. First book was good, and I'm just starting the second. I've also been binging on cheap self-published horror and apocalypse ebook c

"They are explicitly told by executives to make things fresh" What does this even mean? It reminds me of the design-by-committee meeting to add Poochie to Itchy and Scratchy. "It needs to be more dynamic. More proactive. More

I always disagreed with that quote, and hate it when people roll it out like it's some sort of irreproachable truth.

That is inspired. I use VsVim and remap certain keyboard chords that I rely heavily on, whereas the rest of my office have very vanilla setups. Days where my settings are the baseline would be glorious.

I've just used it for the UK. I ignored the currency and just used exact numbers (so what I paid for my house in £ is the number I put into the site as $). Under taxes, I adjusted property tax until the dollar amount was roughly equiva

I don't work 80 hours a week, but my expenses are way above $20k a year. Why? Because the things I want and value cost a lot more than that. I don't want to spend 4 months in Asia travelling, I want to live in a house I love, near

I deny that a state that taxes its citizens and provides services to all in return is necessarily tyrannical. I also deny that I said what you think I said, because your black and white view of the world appears to preclude shades of gray.
