That's an interesting find thanks. I was not aware of no-cors mode. It seems though that a browser would not allow 'non-simple' headers in no-cors mode[0]. Authorization headers fo…

Continuously consuming refined sugar and highly processed carbs is relatively new. The resulting insulin production inhibits fat oxidation and increases fat storage.

> his old employer used non-protected but difficult-to-find preview links for ticketing pages. Oh come on, I find it difficult to have sympathy for a company that does this. It's a…

Another 'The Portal' recommendation: 41: Douglas Murray - Heroism 2020: Defense of Our Own Civilization https://podcastaddict.com/episode/114260279 Two old friends riffing off each…

Forgive my ignorance, but why do you believe he is a fraud? There are a lot of public 'scientists' who have never been peer-reviewed. I have enjoyed listening to quite a bit of Lex…

This seems like a terrible move. Even if the prices are extortionate, how can eBay take away people's right to protect themselves? Surely educating and empowering the general popul…

I'd be interested to hear how Slack patched this. Hopefully by removing the ability to apply settings from URLs altogether, rather than attempting any sort of sanitisation on the d…

I don't think you understood my point. Blocking websites is not scrutiny of the intelligence services. I'm saying an individual with weapons doxed himself and telegraphed his inten…

The Christchurch shooter amassed a cache of weapons, and also posted a copy of his manifesto and a link to his real Facebook account to 4chan. The censorship/Facebook algorithms am…

You learn something new every day! Google translate didn't help me there :)

I'm a fan of liquibase. It's a very mature tool which allows you to run it every time the application starts, useful for development to create in-memory dbs. Or you can just call i…

Andris@wildduck.opr For the non-multilingual (like myself).

Could you not apply the same logic to any occupation? I get out of bed, head to an office and build software on the orders of those who pay me, I get summoned to meetings at their …

Permissions to read text messages is another one that gets me. I know not many people use SMS as their primary communication but how can you be so astonishingly blasé about your da…

Not my screw up but working for a fairly large e-commerce site we had a cron job to pick up 'stuck' orders and push them down to the warehouse every 30 minutes. For a combination o…

As the saying goes. Never trust a PHP developer!

Agreed. From their actions in the last couple of days it would appear these governments can hardly take the moral high ground. I'm sure I'll get downvoted for discounting China's c…

You would think the Germans would know better with their recent history.

Open the code up then..

I'm just surprised people think that the Hololens is a useful piece of technology.

This is taking advantage of both the customer and the worker. I am not an instacart user myself but I use similar services and I expect that any tip will be delivered to the driver…

Very interesting read. I'm not convinced that Postgres should be used for every aspect of a data processing pipeline yet but the author has certainly proved it is possible. You als…
