What does "table stakes" mean? Never heard that before.

How do you avoid religious discussion when the topic at hand is literally an app that spreads propaganda? Religion is inherently ideological and its expression in technological form is still ideological. The mere act of someone publishing t

Depends. As followers or deities?

Even as someone dismayed by the outsized influence of ancient religion on modern society, I don't think it's fair to flag this. Like it or not, this impacts a lot of people, and developing an app for that audience comes with its o

Seriously? Do they swipe right for "allow"? Why would anyone get married there?

Usually originalism is used to defend some desired status quo, justifying persecution of some "other". Whether it's the Bible or the Constitution is largely irrelevant; the interpreters are the real gods here, not some bearde

How does the scanner app verify the signature? Does it always have to be online, or does it have a set of trusted public keys included? How are the codes generated to begin with? Is there some central database that hands them out, or can an

That's why it's a case-by-case thing. If there IS a well-maintained, well-documented etc. FOSS solution, of course use it (and contribute back!). But npm has the popularity/quality/maintenance metrics for a reason; a lot

Y'know, for some of us peasants, dev work can just be a way out of poverty. We don't have engineering degrees from a top school, we don't work for the FANGs, and we don't work on mission-critical code. The software indus

The date isn't really meaningful since it can be set to anything on a file. But if you can force two dissimilar files to have the same hash, you can combine that with some other attack to inject it into some sort of chain of trust, whe

The thinkpads. Their product lineup is super confusing. The r/thinkpad wiki is very helpful... https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/intro Also look for promo codes there. Never buy a thinkpad at MSRP,

The point is that you shouldn't have to learn everything by brutal trial and error, losing hours of work each time you try to learn a new operation and make a small mistake. It's the same reason consumer operating systems have a t

The one built into IntelliJ IDEs is pretty good. SourceTree is decent too. They are both cover the vast majority of day to day operations. I only ever very rarely have to resort to the command line for ritualistic summoning of the git demon

Man, I thought zero days and secret backdoors were bad enough. Now we have to worry about manufactured hash collisions in all our repos' files dating back forever?

Please, please think this through on a case-by-case basis. Adopting some poorly-maintained FOSS solution just because it's free instead of paying $10/mo isn't always the right choice. It creates a lot of tech debt that you or

That's actually pretty cool. It's kinda like a dam... harnessing potential energy stored by geologic processes and turning that into power? I'm sure there's some fancy physics word for it that I don't know.

You can actually `brew search python@` to see the available versions (major/minor only, not patch) and then `brew install python@3.7` to install an older version. Caveat is that this depends on someone having made a separate formula, u

What if you had a driveable wind turbine? They have solar panels on Priuses, might as well add wind to Teslas. The faster you drive, the more wind there is! Now if you had a solar-powered Prius towing a wind-powered Tesla on the deck of a n

What if you had two Teslas taking turns towing each other at 70 MPH? You could increase the range to (INFINITY*EFFICIENCY)-MATHS! That's a lot of muskjuice.

Hah, this is amazing! I wish they taught that in schools. I don't know who they are but they're like a mix between Bill Nye, Carl Sagan, and the Mythbusters. Cool duo. Great old video. Thanks for sharing. Terrifying goose though.

Have they really though? They still do DNS hijacking and bandwidth caps and speed boost for a few seconds only and automatic price increases and worthless bundles and such, don't they? They were so bad they had to rename to Xfilthy or
