My concern with child proofing other than I don't think it works is that it starts impacting me directly. No more sign up with email, now I i have to produce credit card or government ID or similar. Which I don't trust sites to

Its way older than 5 years old. Wonderfalls (2004) had a character refered to the mouth breather in derogatory way. I know my brother used that in similar way growing up but im sure there are better/older references but those are min

You are not alone. I think it goes all the way back to high school or middle school for me. Its when you realize the gold star stickers were behavior manipulation or something and then see it everywhere.

I think you miss their point which is that has led to a large number of security bugs. Because it is then path to exploits and sloppiness which then cannot be corrected because of backward compatibility or such.

Felix Salmon on Slate Money podcast this past weekend suggest that its still net positive given alternative is those people don't even try to make world better. More nuanced than that but my take on the position.

That was one of purposes though. If every one caught COVID at the same time then hospitals would be overrun and some people would die as a result of lack of access. Masking and isolation flattened the curve to spread it out over longer ti

I've been using for about 6 months and I think its a good product. I suddenly needed a new firewall as Comodo Firewall doesn't work well with VPN I have to use (it cannot block anything). This stepped up like a champ in preventin

1-5 V is also common. You can convert between the 2 with a resistor.

Its very micro but also some macro. Very factorio-esk. When they add combat and hopefully other ways to use energy I will return and waste vast amounts of time again trying to avoid spaghetti (unsuccessfully).

Facebook used to do that for you though maybe that has been curtailed? The tech is there in any case.

You add the intermediate key to config for trust. You do not need authorized_keys files for each user. Good for team and central management and faster key rotation but then needs trusted intermediate authority which is secure. No passwor

I can only speak from personal experience but that is what happened to my family. My brother is a sociopath who caused our family a lifetime of difficulty. The biological mother was drug addict and abusive before adoption and he became an

I had a Panasonic from about 2008. It finally started having image burn-in problems and some yellowing from too much CNN on in the background. It had great speakers and rich colors until near the end. The Samsung I replaced it with is te

My company "allows" USB sticks but they will encrypt any files on it with key tied to that machine. Had a tech updated a config file when after this was silently rolled out and poof line down for the day as it couldnt be used to r

My company has some McAfee and Palo Alto stuff and the cyvera cloud backup software which scans every file every 4 hours but then triggers the other software because of access attempts. Some of these are suites so its 3-4 diferent things (

US taxes world income with some credit for foreign taxes paid. So if you don't have to pay taxes twice its easier and cheaper. Speaking from experience especially around investments.

Its partly about where burden is placed. Making it easy for developers sometimes makes it hard on users and admins. And some times it becomes security issue because of varied approaches. Not sure there is right answer especially in open

This is same for me. It was great value in 2012 and product was good enough to keep using. I subscribed to Resharper before that but now use the other products like datalink. The fact that a personal license can be used at work also helpe

Mysql also has this now. I've wanted to rewrite out apps to use it but haven't gotten around to it. Postgres has it as an addon but feels like it wouldn't work for us until its first class supported.

Stride probably has a better chance at being Unity compatible being .NET and similar but it needs more polish to take on Unity. I only recently heard of it as it was used in Distant Worlds 2 but that game had an unfortunate launch and lots

I hate this feature with all my heart. Ive never needed it or wanted it and can easily roll down my own windows. 4-5 times ive come back to my car and windows rolled down after shopping or working as i must have accidentally activated it.

I wish they would wipe accounts. Instead it will be kept probably forever and your backup email will be spammed forevermore. I started creating an account more than a decade ago. Maybe entered my birthdate and university and stopped. I
