Can it be that after reading so many LLM texts we will just subconciously follow the style, because that's what we are used to? No idea how this works for native English speakers, …

I double that. When I choose where to go, I look if I'll be able to park there, and if not - I will always be able to find another place. Parking availability is number one priorit…

I don't think that taking interception rate as the only metric is fair. RU missiles have shown pretty low precision - and hitting a moving ship is much harder than hitting a statio…

I've watched a documentary on mushrooms. Their posion is not a defense mechanism in most (all? don't remember) cases. It is just a consequence of the fact that mushrooms need to du…

Not an OP but I have similar experience with ZFS. Over 22 years of maintaining servers, I have had serious issues exclusively with ZFS. My pool is there, but it doesnt want to moun…

It is not Cloudflare's fault. It means the website operators were so fed up with bots and bad actors that they just applied a carpet ban and called it a day. Thanks to Cloudflare I…

Well, that's a good case study for teens who are learning and are going to join this industry. If you rent instead of owning, you can be rugpulled at any moment. And then your only…

I strongly disagree that "it's a shame" that English does not use diacritics. English is my second language (third maybe, considering that the country of my birth is bilingual), an…

I am not sure about your particular area, but all those concerns have been solved for me. If I get package in my local mailbox (which is always nearby), I get a key to the delivery…

Would it work in this case? Had he asked about this in a team, he would be told about the existing approach and that'd be it. I've been on the both sides, as junior questioning com…

then vaccination is online database update through forced learning

Well, humans do understand such thing as scale. C4 and nuke are both just explosives, and there are laws in place that prohibit exploding them in the middle of the city. But the la…

Why does article say "On 19th July 2019, CrowdStrike pushed an update" ? Is it another incident in the past, same as OVH, or a typo? I'm kind of lost in context

I watch alot of air incident reports on YT. Many of accidents (not crash) include words like "Unfortunately we wouldn't know exactly what happened, because pilots forgot to turn of…

If server has strict iptables policy for incoming packets, you would still need to go to iptables allow second port. so if you need to iptables anyway, why just not redirect withou…

There is one part in that article that I cant understand. It says: > ...when flight attendants opened the rear emergency exits, they found that the tail was so high in the air that…

I got into IT because of him mainly. When I was 12, where I was growing up I was the only one who knew what a computer is. I remember reading his story somewhere, then I got to my …

just remove some fuse that you know for sure prevents car from starting (fuel pump fuse for example) and you don't need to disconnect any wires. sure, you will have to spend additi…

I have always been blown away by money requirements for such visas, in many countries. Show monthly income of 1000000 ISK. Over 7k USD. Why? I used to live in Dubai, which is consi…

You never know which 0-day gets discovered tomorrow, so even strong password might not be enough. I always change default ports on both SSH and RDP. It helps falling out of scope o…

I was thinking the same initially. But I've been using my Yubikey for 6 or 7 years now, haven't lost it, haven't lost the recovery key which you create during initial setup, and it…

I fail to understand what this type of statistic would give to bank. If your employee is sitting at the desk and watching cat videos whole day, you are happy employer? And if you c…

Not sure what exactly you mean by scripting support. I used to know a girl who was working in big consultancy, and her team was making sales predictions for huge global brands, in …

A friend from Syria once told me that in their country flashing warning lights means "f* you", and when he saw it for the first time when going abroad, he was really angry when som…

I doubt that at this point of our technological advance any predator could really pose such a threat to humanity in whole. No PETA in the world would save such predator from extinc…
