Excellent use! Like a local ngrok.

My understanding is that it's more "advanced". Take that at face value, I've not used the service.

I've defiantly seen a side by side comparison of a very good fake box and a verified real one. On their own, the fakes look VERY good.

It's likely the scam came further upstream. But, at those dollars, I'd personally be reaching out to the community to help verify the validity.

The Decipher Star Wars game still goes for crazy money on eBay.

Being "in the industry", I've seen my fair share of very good fake boxes and packs. It's possible that I've seen this very same box, at least photos of it. A side-by-side comparison of a real box does draw attention to the flaws of the fake.

But, notwithstanding, a "personal Pokémon consultant" should recognize or at least have a network of people to help verify a fake box.

I miss the Element.

Currently, to delete a cloud server, you're required to call support. The option to delete servers via the API and interface have been removed. On more than one occasion I've been pitched by the "support engineer" to sign up for something akin to reserved instance pricing.

They claim it's a security measure.

I've never had an issue with service or availability. But, the price per performance on the VM instances is so much better elsewhere.

Was working to migrate to DO, but now I'm fast tracking that process.

Even some of the best quality scanners mimic this technique

Not anything like that, but they've recently removed the ability to delete cloud servers via the dashboard or api. They require a phone call, which sometimes comes with an upsell to "save 20%" on servers.

Ridiculous.

There's a number of companies that do this type of KYC for various online transactions. AU10TIX is one such, that apparently does identity verification for many airports in Europe.

One of the first packages I install

It seems that everybody who has the first one loves it. I also pre-ordered the new one, based on that fact alone.

We had these in the states as well, many years ago, "Brand Names". You can almost smell the idea bubbling up again, some startup is going to call it revolutionary.

GCP, AWS and Azure now as well. They still have a bunch of on-metal, physical, and cloud customers as well.

I was first introduced to Lua via World of Warcraft. It's the scripting language used for Interface Customization.

Looking for my Visual FoxPro people out there

I think the "spirit" of the RPi is what encourages this hacker/maker mentality....which is perfectly fine by me.

Worth mentioning PHPStan [1] and Psalm [2] for static analysis as well.

Same. Had a very successful expedition on Denali; until we reached high camp. Making great time, beautiful conditions, strong team, great chemistry, and very little issues with altitude.

Then, the shiteth has hitteth the fan. Socked in for a few days with no weather window. Had to bail, with the summit in reach.

Lesson learned, the mountain will always be there.

I recently switched from an Air to an XPS 15 9570. I was very excited, it seemed to have all the best qualities of a MacBook, minus the shotty keyboard, and superior performance per dollar (at the time).

Things went downhill rather quickly. I've had massive cooling issues, I've removed and replaced the thermal paste. I've been forced to operate the laptop on the "Cool" thermal setting; downgrading the performance of the processor. Now, the two of the screws in palm rest, which hold the screen in place, have sheered right off. Doing some digging, this was commonplace with this particular model.

I'm not doing anything particularly intense either. Docker with a few containers running a dev website.

I can't speak for the latest XPS 15 7590 build quality however.

Many of the major brands are offering insane deals. Kia, for example is offering 120 days until first payment plus 0% financing for 72 months.

Meanwhile Subaru, per usual, is offering on the low-end compared to what others are doing. 0% for 63 months. They never budge on financing or offers.

The Star Wars TCG failed so spectacularly and the original CCG from decipher is still going today....despite not having a release in almost 20 years.

How much of a drop-in replacement is this for a Remote Desktop Gateway connecting through to users' workstations via RDP? Our users love RDP, but i'm more in love with the security that something like this could provide.

The value, as I see it, in a native app for an ecommerce company lies in personalized push notifications (transactional and marketing). However, encouraging users to download an app solely for that purpose seems like an impossible task.

I'm of the mind that holistic "let the customer decide" approach is best. Have a very solid strategy for a PWA, native app, and your marketing/notification funnel. As long as the opportunity cost of developing and maintaining an app isn't prohibitive....

This is 100% intentional hype. This is designed to be deployed at a trade show or outside corp headquarters. The video states that they built a "cyber security range" in ~2016, which generated 2,000 customers. This SOC is to showcase capabilities and sell whatever IBM is bundling. It also allows them to charge for on site incident response training.

I'm sure somebody somewhere will need to call IBM and have them drive a SOC to them in an emergency. Which, I'm sure, IBM will happily charge them a small fortune for. But this is marketing.

Looks great. One of Algolia's strongest features is InstantSearch for vanilla JS, React, Vue, Angular, iOS and Android. Hopefully there can be this level of support for Typesense

Out of curiosity, what are you considering? I'm shopping as well.

My earliest programming experience taught me to use Systems Hungarian with scope. So, something like lcName for local character name.
