Everything's approach has important tradeoffs: the indexing service must be run as administrator/root, and by reading the USN journal it gives users a listing of _all_ files and mt…

Here's the colormap I use, which I've made sure never has too-bright colors on the near-white background: https://pastebin.com/raw/AdR3sBSs Microsoft publish a tool in the Windows …

It seems madness to give your card to someone to take off somewhere. In Australia they either bring you a terminal to touch at the table (for a fancier place), or you touch the ter…

Debit payments are around 3x as popular as credit payments here and there is, last I heard, a 50-50 split between using cards and phones to make them. There's an interesting demogr…
