The technical write up is worth perusing but I played a game before reading and accidentally found a winning strategy immediately. I'm not sure if this is a result of the 2-ply nat…

I had this problem and it turns out it was my oh-my-posh command prompt customization. VS Code injects certain control characters into the output stream for agents to observe event…

Literally only one of the drugs you mentioned can kill you due to withdrawal. Hint: it's not LSD or tobacco. Alcohol is an _extremely_ harmful drug.

Exactly. What is important is knowing what to prioritize for the project at hand. If it’s useful it’s not a cargo cult. Of course the less experienced would ask “how do you know if…

The problem of course is that so many things are experiential (rather than data driven) so the question “What would convince you otherwise?” could only be answered by “Having lived…

You can also use TypedDict if you would normally use a raw dictionary but want the type checking.

The NY Times has been covering this lockdown for weeks now and I don’t think you get more mainstream than that. Here’s an article from Saturday for instance: https://www.nytimes.co…

We use isort[0] for this. It even has a "black" compatible profile that line spits along black's defaults. Additionally we use autoflake[1] to remove unused import statements in pl…

I believe Google requires you publish Chrome extensions with an @gmail address, in which case MS doesn’t really have a choice.

This should have (2014) at the end of the title. Very interesting though especially with the hindsight of 7 more years...

The fact that AWS doesn't link to the Elastic License is hilarious to me. The plain reading of the license is "APLv2 but AWS Can't Sell a Hosted Version" so of course AWS forks the…

There's a lot of "trust me" in this article that simply isn't backed up by the ACLU's own outline of it's free speech position: https://www.aclu.org/issues/free-speech It is one th…

I have an English degree and can confidently say the issue is the implicit understood possessive in the correct parsing. As it stands, “for” dominates mentally because the phrase o…

This is simply not the case except when talking about a totally untested vaccine. The whole point of phase III trials is to confirm "safety and efficacy" in a wide population. Mode…

I mean they already tried that with Raku (Perl6) and it didn't gain the adoption they wanted.

I do not own a DLink router but do own a consumer-grade Gateway from Netgear. Is there any mechanism I can use to check for published vulnerabilities against my hardware?

I don't think this often, but, in this case, Facebook is doing the right thing both ethically and practically.

Great. Now I've taken my laptop out of my house (where I'm using your router) to the coffee shop downstairs where they use an ISP provided gateway... And the ISP is spying on me ag…

The org I work for has used [Flowdock](flowdock.com) for several years now and I have to say that threaded semi-real time communication is a huge boon. So, on the face of it I'm no…
