I love that this cautionary tale about not opening random links from people you don't know, ends with you opening up some random docx that just materialised out of the blue on one …

I've done multiple txs in the last few weeks - all with "normal fees," 2 took 3 days to get a single confirmation. 1 took ~24 hours, although these were the outliers, several other…

SARS and MERS killed ~1 in 10 and ~1 in 3 of the people who contracted them. If a contagious disease with a 34% mortality rate don't justify containment. What does?

DDG is fine when you need help with a problem a lot of people bump up against frequently, but its helpfulness nosedives when your journey takes you off the beaten track.

I went from a 2015 MBP to a Gigabyte Aero 15x and put Pop!OS on it. I'm very happy with it - it's a tidy little machine, build quality is good, it has a nice 4K screen, great specs…

I took the parent posts to mean that step involved checking the project license, not its dependencies. For the latter though, Fossology, Scancode etc. can help.

API Gateway gets expensive when things get busy. App load balancers also let you point methods at Lambdas though, so nowadays that's likely a better idea (and certainly more server…

VyOS is another good option

If you count one a second, you're counting very slowly. That stops being true long before you reach the finish line. Try timing yourself counting from 147,895 to 147,900 and see ho…

BeOS was delicious all around and it's a crying shame it didn't take off. It really felt like the Amiga's spiritual successor to me.

That's what cancel does - you click proceed when you want to cancel. If cancelling isn't what you want, you simply click the button labelled "Cancel" Clear as mud, right?

It's awkward sometimes. AWX: "Are you sure you want to cancel? Cancel/Proceed" e.g. Cancel cancelling / proceed to cancel. To me, that always seemed like a place where a simple "Ye…

The problem with tracking cash that way is it only works if the shop closes right after Alice leaves. If another customer comes in and gets Alice's note in their change (which is f…
