Yes, a secret key like this could have made this breach much less concerning. Assuming you trust the company to not also lose this data (that they generate and claim to not store).…

I initially assumed I would be safe because of 2FA. Sadly it looks like this is not the case, the second factor is used to access the encrypted data, not decrypt the data. As the a…

This makes me think of something Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Not sure how I missed that, thanks.

My guess is it's less about a moral issue with marijuana and more about a fear of upsetting people displaying the adds. Many of whom won't want to be associated with something fede…

If your employer is happy with your performance then you are probably "good enough" as you say. However if you truly do always want to be improving your ability as a software engin…

My favorite unpacking snippet is rotating a matrix >>> matrix = [(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9)] >>> list(zip(*matrix)) [(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)] Not as readable as a real maths l…

This also really highlights the scale of the population explosion over the last 500-ish years!

> given the abysmal quality of this thing, nobody will ever insist that they release the sources I am interested in seeing the source :)

I think most people, at some level, know this and accept it. I think the shock comes when you think how long this information is kept for, and what that means. i.e. each year they …

I also agree that it is not a helpful term. I like to think we are all 10x developers. The question of a 1x developer should be how to grow their productivity (assuming they are mo…

It really is scary. They claim to anonymise the data, but to me it feels like removing your name and address from your DNA is like removing the make and model from a car schematic …

I try and mitigate the password management single point of failure with two factor authentication. Obviously that it not an option for every site but access to my password manager,…

It might be interesting to some to know that relatively recently (2016) PEP 523 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/ ) was created which provides a more efficient alternativ…

I also have trouble keeping mac windows where I left them with external displays attached. I invested $15 in stay https://cordlessdog.com/stay/ I would not say the problem is solve…

It looks very useful thanks for the image and sponsoring events like this!

This was just mentioned today at north bay python. Another alternative for a fast speed up by changing your base image is trying out the pypy images.

Looks like it is in the works https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46941308/python-3-suppor...

Looks like it defaults to providing a python2 2.7.12 environment. I don't see anyway of selecting python3, any one found the option? Or are they only supporting Python2?

This to me seems like the major point. If we imagine we own a restaurant and a customer refused to leave, forcing us to call the police. Then the police show up, over react and sho…

> "...can make as many shirts per hour as about 17 humans" Surprised they are looking at it per hour. Presumably the automation could run for close to 24 hours a day, whereas the h…

The future of meetings: starting them in SF and ending them in Tahoe. Maybe it's a cheap video conferencing platform :)

Could the model 3 be a very expensive video conferencing platform?

I could imagine some firearm owners being willing to trade 100% reliability to prevent a casual accident. I imagine some firearm sales are for more recreational purposes.
