Perhaps people are reacting to the very bad reporting by the BBC, not at the slim mission team itself.

Movies that are 100% paid by public money are not available to see anywhere, after a short theater release. Even if you are willing to pay for it.

I fear the result is that the public funding will dry up completely, shutting down an entire industry. That would be a big cultural loss, just because they manage the funds so badly. Fund projects people actually want to watch. Fund more diverse works. And make the damned product available to the population that paid for it.

This was probably against their TOS and even if not, trying to bypass security measures, no matter how weak, is unethical behavior, and possibly illegal.

That would be a red flag in an hiring scenario since you were essentially bragging about breaking the law.

Unless Robinhood had a bug bounty/responsible disclosure kind of program and you were fully acting within its limit, but your comment did not sound like it.

Two things strike me as odd about networking compared to many other IT/software fields:

First, it evolves much, much slower than anything else. Everything I learned 2 or even 3 decades ago is still relevant. Ethernet, DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP. New things got bolted on but everything old is still relevant. Yes, even in the modern cloud.

Second, I've met so few in the fields that actually understand anything about networking. Even as basic as an ip address and subnet. As long as the web page loads and the data is flowing, people stop caring fast. When the network breaks, most software devs are stomped and can't even do the most basic troubleshooting.

My only recommendation is to start with the absolute basic and learn from first principles. Ethernet, IPv4 (packets, IP addresses, subnets, routes), UDP, DHCP, DNS, TCP, HTTP, tunnels and VPNs, in that order. Use wireshark along the way and research everything that is unclear before going up the stack.

Try to run your own router/firewall using openwrt or pfsense/opnsense.

Any other reply is going to be apologetic rambling.

That seems more to me like a mere protocol convention, exactly the kind of stuff that should be in a standard communication protocol just so everyone agrees on the same fields.

How is that a new "invention"?

It seems like a commit from the main branch was backported to stable branch, but it actually depended on another one which was not backported.

Linux kernel maintainers heavily backport commits as it seems the distinction between bug-fix and new features is hard to do. Also, bug-fix can depend on new features..

I'm always a bit scared when I look at the amount of commits in a single stable kernel point release, plus the fact that these point releases come out every week or so. The velocity of change in what should be a stable kernel is very high.

I'm wondering who exactly wants to run a stable kernel that receives all these updates so fast. If you want all the latest and greatest, just use -latest?

Send a meaningless random ID, then do a get request to your API to get the actual content, then present it to the user.

Only a meaningless ID will transit through google/apple servers.

Honest question. I'm sure many thought about it before.

F*ck war.

My LG washing machine has a wifi connection and one of the advertised feature was the possibility to download a custom washing program set from the app.

I thought it kinda makes sense, because building a custom program involves many steps, timers and settings. A mobile UI would be better than the appliance's buttons.

Well, imagine my deception when I got to try the app and the custom programs is just a list of a dozen more niche presets. No customization whatsoever.

It's really like the machines we buy are no longer ours to control.

I think there are 2 problems with this approach:

How do you prevent the double spend problem, for example duplicate entry tickets. You would have to mark the ticket as used in a central database anyway to prevent it

What happens if the secret key material is compromised? Anyone can issue new valid numbers, etc..

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I started using Immich just this week and am very impressed by the amount of features built-in and everything just works. It really is a full-on replacement for google photos which is amazing. Even advanced features like face-detection using AI and partner sharing are there.

Shout-out also to immich-go [1] which is a cli tool that allowed me to migrate hundred of gigabytes of photos from a google takeout backup flawlessly.

Int would be whatever the instruction set of the platform supports by default for most of its arithmetic and memory operations.

C would be sitting a layer above assembly but not try to hide what is going on behind the scene I guess.

Much later on languages like java would bring the concept of virtual machines where the types are unified across different instructions set.

Some results are without the first 2 year digits.

Some results are plain bogus, a 2012-03-XX date returned a 2012-10 number (without the day component and wrong month).

If this is an ad for the power of Wolfram Alpha it is very poorly executed.

Their whole market strategy is the exact opposite. They only implement standards when forced by regulations or overwhelming market forces.

If you are using SQL alchemy on a postgres db, you might be using psycopg without knowing it.

Psycopg is the lower level lib that implements the PostgreSQL protocol.

The restaurant budget alone would be much more than hotels and flight prices combined, and we'd still be mostly eating bad, unhealthy food most of the time.

An Airbnb with a kitchen is a must. For extended stays, washing machines are super convenient also.

It seems like hotels are catching up. I stayed at many newer chain brands with decent full kitchen offerings. Still not quite the same as a real appartement/house, but they are fine and often not that much more expensive than your typical hotel room, just look out for it.

Of course the port layout is going to be a fiasco. It's just not physically possible any other way, unless you start shoving everything into a single USB-C port and force the user into using adapters and docks, at which point you'd just be removing actual ports like laptop makers have been doing for the past years.

The number of queues will vary according to the specific NIC chip.

In fact it worked better than many hamburger menus I find on modern mobile sites.

It's not the greatest UX but it's not that bad either.

Not that I am aware of.

This is a desktop centric workflow where the user can react live to an application that is sending traffic.

Your typical network firewall will apply a set of static rules and the decision to log/reject/drop is done ASAP. Waiting for user input is impossible.

Some systems can show logs of recent blocked traffic, and allow an admin to quickly generate an exception/allow rule for blocked traffic but that's pretty much it.

Flask works for simple projects but as your needs grow, the built-in and extensive Django ecosystem will have you covered. And as seen above, Django in its simplest form is no more complex.

Some people really don't like the Django ORM, so in this case you might avoid Django altogether. It's possible to use Django without its data layer but it's a big part of its value.

Also if you are building a pure API project, FastAPI is worth checking out for a streamlined process. Django Rest Framework works too, but is an extension.

This is used to combat abuse and crypto miners, they don't actually charge the card.

You can also connect your own private runner to either the saas or self-hosted gitlab-ce for free, you just have to provide your own runner.

The author of the article though feels a bit odd? What exactly is the endgame here? You divided a subreddit and created a new one, that's good for you and your "disciples" I guess...? Like what the hell I've had just read...?
