    The worry is not about ML. It's about bot farms in India/China with real people behind the wheel. That's why CAPTCHA needs to be able to evolve without maintenance from the website…

    The issue with that is so much of the software industry is propped up by advertising. There is nowhere to go without being involved with ads, so why fight it?

    I'm a developer who uses Steamworks. Keys are free for us to generate and sell at will. Valve reserve the right to say no, but from what I can tell, their only policy is to not tak…

    It's not really possible to prevent that. E.g. a well crafted image can easily trigger an RCE on some older versions of Android: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/02/08/android…

    I agree. Social distancing + vaccination is pretty much the only effective strategy so far. Lockdowns do enforce that, but they also create vast damage beyond what's needed.

    It's become a politically charged subject. Conservatives are barely touching it because it's not a polite topic, and Labour outright are pretending it's not an issue. Also, this ha…

    > Why use a gendered pronoun here? It’s a bit unfair that the only non-specific gendered pronoun relates to a bad programming practice. Spoiler alert, but making mistakes isn't jus…

    FAANG. The chairs at the office were super good. This is partly why I'm part of the pro WFO crowd - because then I don't need to spend thousands on getting a similar quality setup …

    Isn't the whole point of WebView that Firefox et al can provide it as well as Chrome?

    Exactly. I consider coffee breaks and the like to be a healthy part of work life balance. They stimulate new ideas and learning in a way that video conferencing does not. Software …
