    This looks to be a mapping tool rather than a full virtual tabletop. You could use this to export a map and use it with roll20 or foundry or a big printout or whatever you like.

    If you are gonna go through all that work with this chip in particular, you'd probably be better off putting four of them on one board. It's all kinda moot with more powerful chips…

    This would be great. Then we could reliably use something like vault to store secrets with individual acls per-workflow, and have reasonable confidence that only that single workfl…

    While the current administration is turning a blind eye and I wish they wouldn't, the Russian connection here was only discovered after many layers of digging, and is still just co…

    "Yeah, we know it is wrong, but that single decision made 10+ years ago is too hard to change now without unknown side effects. Microsoft owns it now, so nothing too bad will happe…

    Hopefully the landlords realize there is not going to be anybody lining up to take over these leases if they evict. Forgiving a couple months so a business doesn't have to close is…

    I would love to read this, but keep getting blocked by paywalls.

    There is no minimum number of missiles that must be produced no matter what. I think op was simply suggesting that fewer missiles total should be made across the board.

    I've offered to pay the person who watches my dog directly, and she declines exactly because of the value add of Rover insuring her. Seems a fair model.

    4 A's for ipv6 of course, and 1 A for ipv4. How could that possibly be confusing? Had I been given a vote we would be using AAAA and AAAAAA records.

    Kinda frustrating having certs revoked when there have never been CAA records for any names involved. I know they can't know that to be true historically, but I wish they could do …

    Didn't they just have layoffs recently?

    You do not have to use your registrar's dns. You can register wherever you like, and host dns from cloudflare, route53, gcloud or whatever you want.

    Security is about being paranoid in imagining what different actors can do with varying levels of access. In this case, MITM is not always easy, but once they have access they can …

    That makes sense. I wonder if any web servers have smarter decision making for that. Like give a hard 301 to modern browsers, but let older or nonstandard clients get a standard ht…

    It is interesting that the main argument against staying http is one of social responsibility. Your static site isn't any more susceptible to attacks with http only, but your users…

    This is a big problem for me. I will buy novelty domains on sale, then abandon them after a year because the renewal price is so much higher than the 1st year promotion. At least c…

    If you do that, you quickly run into the feasible depth limit for what you can show in a fixed space. Especially for sparse trees. Consider something like family trees, where you g…

    A USB bootloader and a standard footprint with a line of addon shields. 10 years ago, the only choices I saw were to buy an uno or get a pic and somehow figure out how to program i…

    How can you "refuse to pay" with uber? You have to have a card on file to order a ride. Not having a payment interaction with the driver is half the appeal.

    That is a really great idea. Every time this comes up it boils down to "phones are old and complicated, and there are a billion unique telcos". Great. But if I only do legit busine…

    Possibly privacy. If I host a copy of a popular site's Js, I can watch download patterns and have a pretty reliable "has this user logged into site X" detector.

    This is orthogonal to data caps. We could debate separately if people should be allowed to have contracts with those limits, but the actual problem here is that the ISP is modifyin…

    I've paid more than that for a regular uber to lga, just getting stuck in traffic the wrong time of day.

    It seems to me that security at the venue is extremely inconsistent. They care enough about cheating to time-delay the stream (even to the announcers), but players are allowed to h…
