I've been battling with locking down my kid's devices for much of my life. I haven't found a parental control feature that works: we've tried several, but, generally, nothing survi…

The quote resonates with me, even though I haven't experienced the exact "set a vibe on a date" scenario. I have multiple bluetooth headsets that I use with multiple devices. I hav…

Let's avoid falling into the trap of assuming the worst of people when replying to comments.

I haven't kept aware of changes to Java in the last decade, but the things I didn't like about it then were: 1. The overall architecture (with the JVM) made it slower than the equi…

Can you explain in what way Windows already does this?

Thanks for your response!

Ok, but the brief README links to an actual microsoft.com domain ( https://www.microsoft.com/store ). Why would you need a package to wrap a website? Wouldn't the website be access…

Why is a repository called 'Microsoft Store' being hosted on a seemingly random github account? Why doesn't the README file explain what this repository is doing? OP, what did you …

I agreed with a lot in the article, but I was a bit baffled by the DEI name-drop in the opening. > "... the guys who had big tech startup successes in the 90s and early aughts thin…

I hate to be that guy , but I believe the `|>` syntax started with F# before Elixir picked it up. (No disagreements with your post, just want to give credit where it's due. I'm als…

Suppose user U has read access to Subscription S, but doesn't have access to keyvault K. If user U can gain access to keyvault K via this exploit, it is scary. [Vendors/Contingent …

> it's not a data breach for the government to have access to government data This absurd oversimplification needs to be called out. The 'government' is not a single individual, no…

Totally disagree, I've used KQL for about 10 years now, and SQL for 20. Given the choice, I'll always prefer KQL. Sorry, I don't have time for a thorough rebuttal of all the topics…

It's a great site, but I don't think many of the listings could be properly categorized as old-growth. For example, I checked out a few samples: "The oldest trees are estimated to …

I see discussion about who's at fault: Microsoft or Crowdstrike. But one thing I don't get about this: what was the role of the enterprise admins? Most administrators at large comp…

It's not a typo. The author alludes to these inflated salaries several times. Examples: "while other people who just picked a better company to work at 20 years ago and never left …

To be clear, I don't find SQL difficult to understand. I've used it for 20+ years and I can always get the query to generate my desired output. But I often find that the language i…

I view SQL right now similar to the way I viewed C++ in early 2000s: I hate it, but there's little point in complaining because it's so ubiquitous. More robust criticism is provide…

I was coming here to say something similiar. The article only shows examples of dual axis charts where line series are used for both axes. This will clearly cause confusion (especi…
