The index is clearly not credible: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/visual-basic-dotnet/ There is no way that in reality visual basic is surging up the charts and more popular tha…

It's interesting how you still observe the doppler effect even though the road isn't moving.

Did it actually raise 660m or was that the size of the "market cap" when it collapsed? if I sell 100 tokens for a dollar then convince someone to buy 1 token for 10 dollars, if I r…

Right, and what if those connections are burned into an immutable data source through the connection event in your event sourcing? That is what this article is about, and methods t…

The UK has had data protection laws for years, people aren't scared of GDPR because it finally provides laws, they're scared because they actually look enforceable.

1. A fingerprint is something you cannot change, cannot revoke if leaked and cannot be unique across different sites. 2. A fingerprint hash isn't a cryptographic hash because you n…

Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords (2013): http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-user... edit: The original headline before being changed, "Web standard br…

I'm not familiar with firebase, but am I reading correctly that rules cascade but without specificity rules? How does cascading make sense at all if lower-down rules don't supersed…

The Steam integration is nice if you have a couple of other people who also play these games because you get to compare your best with their best. Personally I managed to keep up w…

Back in the day we used to call that "Shared hosting" and it was looked down on by the in-crowd.

I'm happy to see it covers Legend , a game of which I have many fond memories, it was the first RPG I played and sadly highlighted the difference between my (parents') 386 with PC …

~10% to ~20% is closer to 100% gain than 10% gain. From 1 in 10 to 2 in 10 people is a doubling of people! This is why percentage is a bad measure when it can represent two things …
