> Isn’t session token theft as much of an issue as JWT token theft? Why is there a difference in security just because in one case it’s a JSON blob that says user_id:4,is_admin:fal…

> Part of me wonders whether the move to electric vehicles from ICE will resemble the move from CRT to LCD televisions. Less robust… EVs are far more robust than ICEs from a mechan…

The other thing that worries me is how integrated modern headunits are. It used to be that when your headunit broke or became obsolete, you could just whack a new one in for a few …

One of my favourite things they’ve done recently is remove support for TOTP. Now, if you want 2FA, you have to download their proprietary Adobe Account Security app. This in turn r…

These can be hidden using uBlock origin. I’ve got a list you can import (just use the raw link). The selector isn’t perfect in Google (sometimes leaves some unattached content) but…

I wouldn’t say I’m part of the community, but I’m certainly a fan of ZZT. A text-based game engine developed in 1991 by Tim Sweeney which still has a community going and new games …

Google famously uses geolocation to set language instead of Accept-Language. They have their reasons, which I disagree with. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30638590

After using foam earplugs daily for 5 years my inner ears became very sensitive to the point that plugs caused extreme pain. After a bit of research I found these https://www.happy…

And now we’ve come full-circle as 1Password 8 requires you to save your password prior to submitting the form instead of offering to save it after submission. Which is a huge regre…

It's not about 2FA though. The problem is that PayPal allows users to log in via a one-time code sent via SMS, without the need to enter their password or TOTP (I assume this exten…

OP here - yeah that's my bad - I never intended it to be interpreted as fully revealed but a sentence taken out of context can read that way, so I tweaked the article (as well as f…

OP here - thanks for pointing that out, for some reason when I try to type TOTP my fingers keep defaulting to TOPT - some kind of muscle memory I guess. In any case, this has been …

OP here - I just tried again and got the normal flow this time. Guessing they must be A/B testing SMS one-time codes as the default.

I understand what he's trying to get at, but it's a moot point. Also the article painfully contradicts itself.. > We're more likely to pick the prettiest object up first. ... > Jus…

Would be handy to have a snap to grid feature

You could do what Mountain Lion does - 7px standard scroll bar, which grows to 11px on hover. It actually has a 15px clickable area on hover when you include the 2px margins. 15px …

I always add the client to the profile, but I don't think they've ever logged in. And I'd prefer to do it the proper way (aka add the SEO company as a user) than let my client shar…

Little bit of a rant, but here we go. I'm a web developer, and I was contacted by a previous client who said he's getting some SEO work done, and the SEO company needed the FTP det…

If the user misses it, it's the developers fault.

Genius. And it's not often I say that.

It's the same as all other companies. "Switch to our Halifax, and get £100 free. Offer only available to new customers". It's rare to see a company that rewards existing customers …

Hey, are you calling my MacBook low-end? :p

If the primary goal is discovery of new content then I think it works pretty well. I'd prefer the "Rising" and "Hot" columns swapped, but perhaps I'm not the primary audience. I'd …
