yetanother1980··on European Parliament requests recommendation to end biannual clock change
I store my data in UTC anyway. BUT why not include the timezone in the timestamp? Then in your example you can change the server's timezone with no disruption...

Except electron is a lot more resource heavy than one tab in a browser.
yetanother1980··on 16 year old app developer: Plagiarist or Prodigy?
I've literally never heard a man use it. Or a woman. On the other hand many anecdotes does not equal data...

> Ending up on the streets with nothing is a natural conclusion and what happens then is partly a test of character and partly luck. For many it's the end of the road.

I would argue that it is a test of society. We should judge ourselves on how we treat the weakest amongst us.

Did your customers consent to what is effectively someone following them round the store with a clipboard?

Why are you storing and processing their data if not for profit?
yetanother1980··on America's Love Affair with Avocado
Oops I miss-read that.

I do find the fact that people are accusing him of abusive behaviour here pretty scarey though.

His wife forces him to be silent - which is actual abusive behaviour.
yetanother1980··on The good guy/bad guy myth
> a monster problem.

A monster - literally evil personified in semi human form. You can't really get more good guys Vs bad guys than that.

yetanother1980··on DNSFS – Store files in others' DNS resolver caches
It's also not uncommon to not use the default DNS settings of a network.

Doing this sounds like a good way to increase the noise to signal ratio in your support calls....

yetanother1980··on DNSFS – Store files in others' DNS resolver caches
I'm pretty sure you can send a request to an IP address with the host name in the request.
yetanother1980··on DNSFS – Store files in others' DNS resolver caches
Pretty much 100% waste of time I think. Users can easily just use raw IP addresses right?

If they run patched OS versions that don't use the hardware features they achieve this goal.
yetanother1980··on Molly Houses: Gay Bars in 18th-Century Britain
I wonder if the move of the young back into the cities from the suburbs is behind the more puritanical views that the left have moved towards recently.

Article is interesting though.
yetanother1980··on UK Cops Want to Use AI to Spot Child Abuse But It Mistakes Desert Pics for Nudes
Maybe because he does not want any more details of his porn usage spread around - there would inevitablely be discovery if there were to be a libel case. Plenty of people use porn that is not extreme but would be embarrassing.

Edit - Also even the police have stated that there was nothing illegal found.

Additionally he was in opposition not in government at the time of the raid.

Edit again: in the UK as you should well know one is expected to provide evidence along with defamatory statements. Do you have any evidence?

yetanother1980··on UK Cops Want to Use AI to Spot Child Abuse But It Mistakes Desert Pics for Nudes
This post is factually inaccurate and defamatory.

The computer was searched as part of a separate investigation (into leaks) which found nothing.

The pornography was not extreme.

yetanother1980··on A Letter from the Publisher of Nautilus
I block ads for many reasons. One of which is indeed that I don't want to see adverts. Others include malware protection (Google will provide citations for this) another is tracking protection.

More like if your laptop stops working you are obligated to call tech support immediately.

> it suited my point to make it seem like it was something easy I could do as an aside...

Thus fuelling the idea that this sort of thing will just be done as other work is happening with no time budgeted for it.
