Here in the US, NIST has deprecated the use of SMS as 2-factor auth[1] on the grounds that "there’s a risk that SMS messages can be intercepted or redirected". [1] https://www.zdne…

There was an easter egg in Windows 95 for clouds.mid.[1] You had to create a folder and rename it a few times, and then it would play the song[2]. Even hearing it now takes me back…

The vowel shift is one of the major reasons why Shakespeare's poetry doesn't rhyme when spoken with modern English. There was a rather fascinating video that went around awhile bac…

For what it's worth, Tidal pays its artists a whole lot more per stream than Spotify does.[1] That's the main reason I'm subscribed to Tidal. [1] https://www.dittomusic.com/blog/ho…

I run Snapcast across my house connected to MPD running on a local Linux box, and have been pretty happy with it. I've had to do very little maintenance to keep things running. The…

The keyboard layouts are entirely customizable, so you could configure the keys to the right of T and left of Y to be the other one.

Have you looked at Hanami? https://hanamirb.org/ I'm in the same boat about RoR. I just find its size to be overkill for most uses. Hanami is considerably smaller and lightweight, …

I've been using Executor recently, but this looks to be way more powerful. Thanks for the tip.

There's also the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum outside of Tokyo[1] (in Koganei, not the one in Ryogoku) that has some three dozen buildings that have been moved there. Th…

I'm on a team that started doing Scrum a few months ago, and we're still figuring it out. To be clear: are you saying that the one team that did Scrum well did so because they spen…

Cyan also put out a game called Obduction a little over a year ago that's very much in the same vein as Myst (the Wikipedia article calls it a spiritual successor), only updated to…

Just for proper attribution, these pages are the work of Steph Davidson.[1] It's generally believed that these page were created when Richard Turley was working at Bloomberg as the…

For what it's worth, there are some fan cuts of the Hobbit movies that remove all the superfluous stuff and make it much closer to the book. Worth looking up.

Can't speak for the parent poster, but over here, yes, we use Consul's ACL. It's pretty solid and easy to use, and the GUI helps a whole lot. In terms of auditing, I've not dug too…

Sure. It was a sense of arrogance and inflated ego more than anything else. Just because you went through ten weeks of boot camp doesn't mean that you're a master at your craft. Hu…

At a previous job, we hired two people from General Assembly. One was decent; the other far less so. Admittedly, the hire that was less useful had other issues in terms of attitude…

Machine learning seems like something that's become really critical to know; unfortunately it wasn't offered at my undergrad university. Can anyone recommend some books or online c…

The other piece of this is Laravel Homestead ( https://github.com/laravel/homestead ), a Vagrant box to make local development easier. Through Forge, you can deploy basically the s…
