I donate 10% of my net income to charities. Having a budget for donations is really nice because it makes giving away money much easier. In my mental model this is simply not my mo…

LineageOS does not have certification (i.e. does not meet Google's quality standards) to install the Google applications. Manufacturers who want to ship with Google Apps have to ta…

They did successfully sue the manufacturer over those quality issues. The Fairphone 4 is produced by a different manufacturer and is expected to have much less of such issues.

I don't know a way to enforce this, but what may help is knowing that by default, you can push into the PR branch even if it is from someone else's fork: https://docs.github.com/en…

that's how the start page of Autodesk Civil3D's and InfraWork's are built (steps 2 and 3 only). Screenshot here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks/learn-expl... The…

Can someone expand on this? I found the article interesting, energetic and containing a strong and, to me, positive and useful message ("ask yourself what are you building?"). Yet …

Good points. We believe we have fixed the physical-order-and- scraping-issue by using random uuids as primary keys, showing stuff in the UI always ordered by PK, and periodically d…

The attack vector would be an attacker getting their hands at a DB dump including XIDs. Without any particular measures, they'd be able to de-anonymize every vote ever made, which …

Re "same business transaction": That would probably still allow for correlating the votes with the flags because they'll still be added with some XID, which are monotonically incre…

Sadly, since 9.4, that does not clear the XID anymore, see that blue box here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/routine-vacuuming.html#V...
