Fun fact: often in the USA you don't get charged for an ambulance unless you use it. Call 911, let the paramedics check you over, and refuse to go with them. You just got a free health check-up -- a nice trick for the elderly

If you've seen a video slot machine you've seen APNGs :)

There's no possible way to guarantee that traceroute is accurate. The same route is not taken both directions.

A Practical Guide to (Correctly) Troubleshooting with Traceroute by Richard A Steenbergen explains it well

It already exists for push, but most apps don't implement it and on Apple devices you need a special permission from Apple to be able to do it

Why would you say that? It's open source and has reproducible builds

E2EE push notifications are an option. I don't know how many apps use it, but it's a feature in Pushover.net

Ghost kitchens are a good idea if they actually make good food.

Every experience I've had so far was beyond poor.

Do you get your TV from eBay too? DVDs look so terrible on modern screens. 720p is the bare minimum acceptable resolution

I'm bullish based on my experience, but I'm using Apple's implementation and my Yubikeys. It has been flawless so far

That's great and all but again no genetic data was ever leaked at 23andme but everyone keeps reporting it like this is the information that was accessed by the attackers

And yet all the non-technical folks you give this advice to will look at you like you have two heads. This is completely unreasonable unrealistic user-unfriendly advice

Trickle down is just another layer of this onion of fraud. The bit of the onion with the syn-Propanethial S-oxide that makes your eyes water? Fiat currency

C/C++ interop and easy static linking makes it super nice for writing small utilities IMO

> and the board wouldn't do the firing without evidence they could back it up with

Where's the evidence then? Why did they reinstate him if they had such amazing evidence of wrongdoing?

I'll never get tired of these overly confident armchair expert comments on HN

You don't know that for a fact, you're speculating

> Following the rule's adoption, chemical engineer Abigail Cantor started testing the water after it was treated with phosphate that authorities recommended they use to prevent lead from leaching into water. But what she found was shocking.

Dogs are not wolves. This is especially evident in behavior like barking which juveniles do, but not adult wolves.

Without having physical access to my hardware, where every disk is FDE anyway?

AIUI they bought a ton of treasury bonds and are using that as the backing of this transition and that's how they can promise the 6% return or whatever it is for the initial years.

Theoretically if the market tanks hard those 401ks will drop like a rock and the bonds won't so this could be a hedge to protect their employees but to the employees it probably looks really scary.

Everything is OpenZFS now except Oracle's fork.

Deduplication in ZFS can be pushed onto dedicated flash storage now instead of requiring gobs of RAM.

Nobody wants to live in the Hoovervilles

He can't ignore NVIDIA, it's his job to make sure NVIDIA users can run his software by any means necessary.
