I feel like it promotes younger folks getting into programming by having them follow trends instead of what they might want to do. Don't bother starting to learn, AI will take your…

Why care about stars in the first place? Github is a repo of source repos, using it like social media is pretty silly. If I like a project, it goes into a folder in my bookmarks, t…

UA strings, just like any other client information forwarded to the server (see: android/iOS data accessible by JS & the server) only exists to build a profile to better filter who…

A nice summary of Malibal, I suppose! Either way, what a fun business; buy whitelabel goods and market it as 'premium'.

Wow, Gazmanov. Last heard him when I still had tapes! Looks like little changed, still nationalist music, just the same but different nation lol

That's cool and all, but when are we getting a dedicated LinkedIn key? I'm getting tired of hitting the shortcut everytime...

Not really something that requires little skill, but bug hunting is a decent income (if you burn through enough). Otherwise, making services and seeing what sticks. There are milli…

This is the norm, no company "pulls out" of Russia, they just hand off the whole business to a proxy company they own (directly or indirectly), that will continue to sell the same …

Yes, it should be! You are free to get upset by what I say, but at no point should the government be intervening on your behalf to punish me, unless it turns to harassment.

Simple problem, simple solution: charge the appropriate value for the flight.

If pay is the only concern, why not just take up contract work and refuse benefits to get the most pay? Ignoring the other variables at play, such as cost of living and benefits, a…

Provably false. You don't even have to look far -- there is no "labour shortage," what there is a shortage of is "desperate people and suckers." That has not led to higher wages, o…

Feature complete, doesn't use WAN, I think you're OK unless you're on public wifi.

Always on the lookout for a Bryan, that's how I know I'm lucky that day :)

If you're downloading random files from a stranger's vague post, then I think you had it coming. The file extension spoof fix is nice, however.

A lot of marketing emails will have opt-out links on their HTML version, but the text version they send alongside it (if it's not just auto-generated from the HTML one) doesn't. I'…

Good point. Forgot about all my docker-compose files...

Aw, shoot. I thought I would be able to have fun sending coworkers: import os os.rmdir("C:\Windows\System32")

Seconding. robots.txt is just a way of "asking nicely." If somebody wants to scrape, they're spoofing their UA and ignoring it. Can't do anything other than monitor the logs and ba…

Yes, this is an issue self-driving cars. Roads and signage are not unchanging and always set up proper or the same way every time, everywhere, nor do they need to be. Light control…

Who cares? It's for this reason I don't use either. Everything is just left-aligned. I haven't touched Fortran in ages, and don't think anybody complaining about either tabs or spa…

Which is very surprising, considering we have well over a century of snake oil salesmen. And (poor choice of words, I know) God forbid, the centuries of a church dominated Europe w…

Wow, excited to see where this project will go!

Another chunk of data gone from the-eye.eu, unfortunate. That's what you get for hosting things publicly. Nothing torrents can't solve.

Seconding this. If you are a private company that makes cameras for this specific use case, it is in your best interest to pull numbers out of your ass to place more cameras, there…
