I'll be honest. I discovered him with this post. And I studied in France. I am also familiar with his projects, the obfuscated C code contest and more. Just don't remember seeing h…

I got a prompt about trying new apps every week or something similar. The wording, the moment it prompted me were clearly designed for people to just say "ok" and then wonder how a…

I think that you underestimate the portion of people just letting Youtube play videos in a continuous flow. They are doing the dishes, sewing, folding clothes, watching the entranc…

Please stop saying "Brussels" to mean the EU. It's a nasty trick to give the idea that it's some kind of external entity forcing your country to do something. It's not. It's an ass…

Play the GDPR card, even if you're not from Europe. Find their DPO and state that you want to appeal the automated decision to a human. Companies operating in Europe must provide a…

I think that it's a great opportunity to play with relatives. Each person can explain why/why not and that's probably the main point. It'll also probably shut the mouth of those wh…

> But critics have said E2EE makes it harder to stop harmful content spreading online, because it means tech firms and law enforcement have no way of viewing any material sent in d…

This is the problem with this report. It doesn't mean that the cars break down more often, it means that they are so rarely at the shop that the drivers don't notice the used brake…

Not COBOL but I sometimes have to maintain a large ColdFusion app. The early LLMs were pretty bad at it but these days, I can let AI write code and I "just" review it. I've also us…

I got banned for asking about the yfinance python module. They had an "appeal" but it was a Google Form that probably nobody ever looks at. My recommendation would be to get in tou…

Good to know, you're not the first I hear complaining about this. I'm pretty sure that if you tell them that you're initiating a chargeback, it'll magically resolve itself.

There is no certification to pass or anything. You just have to keep it in mind when creating your business. It's too easy to just abuse data and then claim that it's too late to f…

Permissions: - control vibration - Google Play license check Not bad.

It's funny to talk about internationalization but only support Western date format. If you are managing hospital admissions in Nepal, you have to be able to provide the date in Nep…

Relying on a salinity differential, even between salted and unsalted, seems like a terribly small amount of energy. There are projects to put large spheres at the feet of offshore …

A similar tool, open source and portable Linux/Mac/Windows is Cyme. It works wonderfully well. https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme

12€/month minimum, that's expensive. It's ok for a professional website with loads of comments but for my personal blog, I'd rather not have comments.

The author is using a random CMS, namely Hugo. You probably mean a PHP that can be hosted for cheap. But then, you end up with a Wordpress nightmare, even more spam and security is…

Tried it on Mac too and from Python, it just outputs an empty file, with their own samples. With the command line directly, it complains about reverse mtime /Library/Fonts. This is…

Visa application is riddled with scams. From the simple website that charges you twice the price to websites that will tell you that you were rejected and then fake your documents …

gewinnen-mit-wero.de: It is pretty common to use a dedicated domain for a large campaign so that the spam complaints don't hurt the deliverability of your main domain.

I love this one, it's excellent at packing lots and lots of information in very little space. It's sadly victim of its success and is quite often over quota to its weather API. We …

They're not exactly the same thing but for comparison, France has the Rance Tidal Power Station that has been producing 250MW for 45 years. South Korean made a more powerful one at…

What drives me nuts with this is that they'll go for a weird guessing game instead of using the language settings that the browser is providing in every single request. My browser …

as pointed out by @addandsubtract, I misunderstood the extension, it's about audio translation, not just titles. Sorry about that. If you're using DeArrow, there is an option to di…
