Much better to have the world disappear from the bag.

I wouldn't. The numerous miscarriages that my grandmother had while living in a mill town, and the cancer diagnoses that followed family who worked at the mill taught me to stay up…

I'm guessing so, given the breadth of the outage. (It's always dns.)

Curious why you're looking to switch from KeeWeb. Been using KeeWeb for several years and have been really happy with it for my desktop.

This is a good regression to practices that were abandoned once the Haber Bosch process was discovered. Unfortunately, we've also started medicating ourselves more heavily in the i…

My way around this that's less than $500/mo and indefinite wait times is to have an EC2 image running as a jump box. Then anything downloaded is already on AWS's network, making EC…

I'm curious if you could desolder and use one of the resistors further down the trace to avoid having to scrape off the mask.

Agree. Having this function exit if any arguments are passed to it seems like a good safety measure.

That fair. I suppose its about the same as a graduate certificate until you take the extra steps to get a degree.

Its even less than that. This micro masters is sold as an entry point for a full-fledged masters program. The order of operations is something like: 1. Complete the micromasters co…

I was originally worried at how dishonest seemed to faculty and TAs who have spent years creating many textbooks' worth of content for edX. Something akin to MIT Press selling thei…

Seems like there's too much bait-and-switch happening here to trust GitLab anymore. They enacted an account-locking change to their MFA reset policy without so much as an e-mail to…

Anybody else having their browser history busted by visiting the link? Looks like it opens a new window for this page, and then closes the old one.

I wish it was just this. A friend of mine works in an upscale deli here in Boston. Their employer doesn't partner with DoorDash, yet GrubHub --interchanged because they both do thi…

A friend of mine was born without the ability to taste sweet things. That doesn't stop their body from reacting to it, though. Most of their favorite foods are incredibly sugary.

And it's still a valid point. It's good to mention that a <20% down payment has caveats, too.

Sort of. You'd be left paying the difference of 3.5% to 20% (16.5% or $49,500) in a FHA Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP). This means another loan that you need a 1.75% down payment…

I think this will definitely occur. In the same way that organisms could not work with wood fiber's lignin during the carboniferous period, we're seeing it play out in a plastic pe…

A lot of these earlier courses are available on edX, too. The platform won't grade you unless you pay, though.

Finally! I've been hearing librarians gripe about the prohibitive cost of academic subscriptions for over a decade. It's no surprised that the first administrative body to take a $…

And a self-paced course through edX: https://www.edx.org/course/street-fighting-math-mitx-6-sfmx

I think this is pretty close to the truth. Investment capital getting out tech should cause people to be more discriminating in their business proposals, and the market will adjust…

The third part on the Tor project's blog at https://blog.torproject.org/blog/facebook-hidden-services-an... describes this well. Check out mapgrep's comment on another thread below…

I thought Onion addresses were a hash of the public key, not the private key.
