Calling a 1.5L Prius engine "expensive" is a bit of a stretch, you can buy a lightly used engine for ~$500. Compare with say Tesla where a single motor runs you over $3000 and they…

Interesting, I often drop caffeine for a week or so (without any real conceited effort, typically just when I'm sick or on vacation) and any withdrawal seems gone after a few days …

It's not just a nagging doubt, it's adding a "gap" to your resume - I've heard many employers view any sort of exclusive self-employment as basically that and it's something that a…

How much is a normal % of take home pay to go to your mortgage? I'm at about 30% and it's my only debt.

I think you're confusing some sort of emotional pain which may deserve analysis with physical pain which analysis cannot bring any insights from - it's just pain. Nothing revolutio…

This seems to me to be entirely backwards. If you appreciate creativity, don't you want to have as much time as possible to experience and enjoy the world around you? To learn? To …

And in the best case (and almost 100% of the time) you'll just heal anyways, but won't give a shit about the pain and will actually be able to do stuff. I think I'll roll that dice…

Yeah, I question the idea that it's beneficial to experience pain - why should I? Especially if it's going to cost me days of my life that I could do something with. Maybe not go o…

How so? Texting someone isn't distracting to anyone around you... unless I'm missing something? Are you really that easily bothered by other people that them enjoying something in …

What's with the incessant need to tell other people how to enjoy an experience? I'm reminded of this xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1314/

For even the nastiest of obfuscators there are often attempts at deobfuscators... https://github.com/kirschju/demovfuscator

I'm a programmer who's currently in a union position - I want out. I pay dues and get basically nothing for them, as developers we're generally in decent negotiating positions. Uni…

Run your mail server on a different provider and configure it to strip the relay headers - some mail relay services may also work for this purpose.

I see people on this very website claim they can probably implement an Uber clone in a weekend or two - and they're probably right, the basics of such a service are quite simple, b…

Yeah, I put a good pile of reverse engineering work into this thing at one point - used Flare and Flasm along with a lighttpd proxy to replace their swfs with my own.

Yes, CloudFlare even provides official lists for this purpose. https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ IPv4 space is far too small not to use this. Often times if an attacker has determine…

I fail to see how it'd be good for this use - do they require a number of friends or something? I have 4 Facebook accounts for faking out exactly this kind of stuff, but none with …

So they didn't bother to check if the add to group message was from someone in the group? I mean no offense to the developers, but this seems like a fairly basic oversight and quit…

Nice method, but for future record you don't really need to mess with mains to hook up Sense or OpenEnergyMonitor, they use inductive current clamps which work by detecting the fie…
