It's a tracking tool. You have a bunch of sites embed an image, and requests to those sites also make requests to said image, which you can use to start tracking a client. A single…

It's no joke for some. It was some time ago that I read about it, and I'm struggling to find a source now, but there are instances in India of people being declared dead to allow t…

There's more info about the outcome in [1]. Long story short, the US government passed a law (whilst this case was being litigated) that let AT&T off the hook. [1]: https://en.wiki…

Hex is 0-9, a-f. P and q are outside that character set.

It's not that the article is inherently unsafe, it's that the UK law imposes a liability the author is unwilling to shoulder.

I read that line and thought "so, the solution is code review?". What has to happen to your processes that code review is not only missing, but unironically claimed to be the solut…

Assuming I've found the right process-compose [1], it struck me as having much overlap with the features of systemd. Or at least, I would tend to reach for systemd if I wanted some…

It's the Isle of Man to the best of my knowledge, but the people, and language, are called Manx. Like the English are from England.

I've used localstack in the past which worked pretty well. https://github.com/localstack/localstack

That's what MISRA C [1] is sort of meant to be. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MISRA_C

If you want emails from some random internal machine, you can use one of the HPE SMTP servers. There was one for internal email, another for external iirc although I'm not sure the…

I can't speak to the Airs, but I went from an Intel Pro to a M3 Pro in a previous job and the battery life improved massively. I used to be able to heat my study by running a linte…

I'm not sure if you've misunderstood, so apologies if this is old news. US companies may have teams of engineers in various other countries. But they almost always pay local market…

The UK monarch's power is largely based on convention more than active decision making. For example, a government is formed at the invitation of the monarch, but that's long reflec…

To clarify a bit further, the UK head of state is King Charles III, as he is for a bunch of other countries in the Commonwealth. Head of state in the UK is a bit weird compared to …

It's not even just your users. I work on a S3-compatible service where a good chunk of the test suite is built on the AWS SDK. In reality, AWS are the reference S3 implementation. …

HCL is Hashicorp Configuration Language: https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl . It's basically a DSL used by a bunch of Hashicorp products. It's sort of a programming language. Someone…

Is Tiktok genuinely manipulated by the CCP? I could never quite tell if that was merely scaremongering and hypothesising by American politicians, or based on evidence of past trans…

That seems like short-sighted advice. My company probably isn't paying me to write crypto, web frameworks, database drivers, etc. If it's not where I'm adding business value, I wou…

But does it not make you more vulnerable to competitors? Losing one of your few big customers will hurt regardless, but it likely hurts less if you have a pool of SMBs to act as a …

When RuneScape and Old School RuneScape Wikis forked, the license was changed from CC-By-SA to CC-BY-SA-NC. As a result, all new changes come under the new license. To copy changes…

There's a recent rough breakdown of costs and funding in [1]. In short, most funding is from ads. I don't think that takes into account funding for the newer Minecraft or LoL wikis…

The go CLI does exactly the same. Python's pip (via setup.py) will do the same, and in an arguably less transparent way iirc. I don't disagree that there are better ways, but it's …

From that article (and a few others) > In fact, staff at Fujitsu, which made and operated the Horizon system, were capable of remotely accessing branch accounts, and had “unrestric…
