I forgot phones have gyroscopes :)

Is there always a great reference for which way down is, given that the phone can be in various orientations? You might have to do some other heuristics / build some other model fo…

The issue isn't that it's self-deprecating, it's that it's not funny, esp. given the context. "Read the room" type of thing.

What services have you heard this about?

> Literally no one will sell you an eSim contract for just few days. T-Mobile definitely will (I mean, you pay for x GB and minutes and it lasts a month, just like most prepaid set…

One way to do that would be to look at outcomes of patients who have received the therapy to see if they feel their needs are met, like this study did.

This is a neat project. You're up against people setting up their own WireGuard exit nodes -- are these folks just not in your target audience?

Your browser remembers and replays it. localStorage/sessionStorage/cookies aren't available to parse by the time request headers are sent. You'll notice this behavior goes away if …

Can I ask if you actually fly planes? Moving the trim is exactly how most autopilots work. I usually fly the 172 and pitch changes made via the autopilot (I am usually flying with …

Moving SSH to a non-standard port is helpful only to reduce log noise coming from untargeted attacks. If an attacker is looking at your system, your attack surface is the same no m…

Speaking about conspiracy by "pseudo-feminists and simps" doesn't lend a lot of credibility to the argument.

Man, your issue is not that you do not have enough external validation, it's that you crave it so badly. I guarantee you achieving your concrete goals would not make you happy -- y…

Definitely agree! That's why the author has explicitly filtered out patternwork by excluding "circles" that are particularly close to an airport. It doesn't mean anything is sinist…

I do a bit of reverse engineering both professionally and for fun, and the two bits of “proper” education that have helped the most were my Hardware/Software Interface and Intro to…

Hey folks! Original author here -- happy to answer any questions about credential storage or the nitty-gritty of WebAuthn.

I'm not sure I agree. If you can affect the state of the runtime in ways that are not intended to be possible by the WASM API, this breaks sandboxing requirements. Even if you can'…

I mean, yeah, if you truly feel hurt when I use that word, I won't use it around you. Absolutely. It's more important to me that the people around me feel heard and seen than for m…

Sure. My ancestors were enslaved by the British. The difference is that I do not face discrimination today as a result of that. For black people in the US today, that's not the cas…

I just honestly do not believe that those are the motivations of folks trying to decolonize programming vocabulary.

It's not about intention. Nobody believes that the words "master" and "slave" are intended to cause racial stress in a technical context -- but that's not the point. The point is t…

FYI, they just started offering paper checks. It's in beta I believe. I received my first Simple checkbook and wrote a check just a couple weeks ago.

Wait, you're saying that you intentionally favor job applicants based on your admittedly subconscious biases?
