If you're a Node/JavaScript developer, you might want to keep code in Dropbox, but putting node_modules in there will tank it.

Nowadays in UK train stations most bins are simply plastic bags on a hoop - I presume this is to make it easier to spot explosives?

I'm fairly sure Google's search crawler already uses a masked UA, to detect when pages serve it different content than they do to users.

Key part:

> We’ll continue to maintain separate brands, develop new products for each brand, and enhance our existing offerings. As a Mailgun customer, you aren’t likely to notice any change, except for new features and functionality coming your way soon.

We already have this situation though - the people who control DNS resolvers already have total control. ISPs have already been known to abuse this power [0].

This proposal doesn't solve this problem. Rather, it solves the problem of e.g. your ISP intercepting, logging and/or modifying your DNS request.

The solution will then just be to run your own DoH endpoint / proxy.

I'm with Starling Bank, and along with the usual Mastercard numbers (card number, expiry, CVV etc.) it has the account number... though not the sort code, strangely. I guess you could look it up if you wanted to, but you'd need to know this 8-digit number with no label was the account number. Weird.

Microsoft's DNA is Enterprise with a capital E. Google has always had the startup pretense (or rather, the pretense of still being a startup, even when they're not by any stretch of the imagination), meanwhile in almost every Fortune 500 company you'll see offices full of Windows desktops running Office. The sales networks are there, and they can reuse them for Office 365 and Azure too.

When the attacker has your keys and your phone, you have bigger problems.

It's probably their CS Twitter client that's coded without proper awareness of threads (likely only letting staff reply to the original message)

Surely she meant decentralisation, though? Visa is anything but decentralised.

Luxembourg has had it for people aged under 20 for a few years now, and next year it's becoming free for everyone: https://www.mobiliteit.lu/se-deplacer/titres-de-transport/gr... [in French]

For this exact reason, the image of the cone on the NHC website [0] has the following disclaimer on the top:

"Note: The cone contains the probable path of the storm center but does not show the size of the storm. Hazardous conditions can occur outside of the cone."

But apparently media organisations repost that image without the added disclaimer.

Yeah, that seems like the best bet - either hardware key or TOTP (because, although hardware keys are better for security, not all users will have one - cf. myself), and then store your backup codes in a password manager.

Copyright as an idea is fine - as in, how it was described in the Constitution: "securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries", emphasis on "limited times". It's our current batarnak of an implementation that's causing all the problems.

Getting rid of copyright and instituting a copy-anarchy would mean that creatives would have no real incentive to publish (no matter how much you do for passion, you still need to keep the lights on and put food on the table) - but our current system, with lifetimes tied to the time since Walt Disney's death, is a bit of a mess too.

Can there ever be a happy medium?

From what I understand, the idea is that you don't use a bundler, but let the browser download all the modules that your app needs - hence some features like the "differential serving" (a.k.a. polyfills added if necessary with UA sniffing).

Probably various billing services that need to talk to the mothership in us-east1.

this column of green checkmarks begs to differ: https://i.imgur.com/2TPD9e9.png

Paywalled, anyone have a workaround?

> They were created so people didn't have to memorize ipv4 addresses

New problem: memorising a UUID is even harder than memorising an IP address. Someone will eventually invent a DNS for the UUID-space, and we'll have this problem all over again.

There is one thing that annoys me about generic TLDs like .dev, .website, .cloud, .network etc. For example, Salesforce have https://crm.dev - are they the only CRM in the world? Hell no, but they're the biggest, so they can be the only one in the .dev space. Same with workers.dev.

> In every way we can measure, our search engine is the best it’s ever been.

To take a quote from Jeff Bezos, "The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it." Metrics are important, but metrics definitely aren't everything.

Look at OP's past submissions, in particular the domains.

Wow, either I'm reading the stats wrong, or someone has 84.6 TiB in Syncthing. That's impressive.

Can it catch something like accidentally writing "x == y", when you meant to write "x != y"? I feel like this kind of bug can be insidious enough to waste lots of debugging time, yet difficult to catch until you run the code.

How do you debug logic errors in that case? I imagine that most logic errors can't be caught by the compiler, although I could be wrong.

Seems like Messenger is getting WeChat-ized - in China, WeChat [0] is your one-stop shop to getting anything done - chatting, following celebrities, booking housekeeping, payments, even "mini-programs". And now many Western messaging apps are starting to take inspiration from this [1].
