What is going on with that Escape key? A bear eating a cat?

Looking on bright side, if you’d got it, all your pocket money would have had to go on D-cell batteries.

Coming from the UK generation that grew up during the decimalisation process, and therefore being equally comfortable with both systems, imperial measures are far less intuitive than metric. Don’t mistake simply being being used to something as it being intuitive.

We use a base 10 numeric system because that’s how many fingers & thumbs we have. Having a system of weights and measures based on that decimal system, is far more intuitive than a system that scales up through orders of distance using different scaling factors at ever order, is so unintuitive as to be absurd.

LLMs produce code that is functionally error prone while looking reasonable (in the same way that it produces answers that are grammatically correct, correctly spelled, but factually incorrect).

As we all know, fixing bugs in someone else’s code is generally more difficult than writing the code correctly in the 1st place , and that’s going to apply to a LLMs code output just as much as a humans, if not more.

Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.

In other words, this study has no real scientific value.

But there are many more problems with this “study” than just that.

That puts a whole new slant on the phrase “Don’t make a liar out of me.”

Is having a consistent domain language across the board important? Yes, obviously it’s a huge benefit in communication and in maintainability.

Is not following that convention, in and of itself, a huge problem? Probably not, so long as the primary parties understand the differences between separate aspects (such as the database using a different word order), although the documentation needs to explain this.

Is not being able to get an agreement on a consistent domain language that everyone will follow a problem for development? Yes. Huge. Crippling. It reeks of poor, indecisive management at the top project level, and petty interdepartmental squabbling all the way down. It’s a huge red flag as to a company’s ability to deliver. It’s not that difficult a thing to get agreement on or to enforce, as it’s entirely visible. If a project can’t do that, it’s not going to be able to do the things that are actually difficult.

Not everyone be any means, but if you admire narcissistic extroverts then sure, you’re always going to be disappointed.

Social media influencers are money-grubbing low-lives who will promote anything for some cash? Well colour me surprised.

Just because it tasted like bleach doesn’t mean it’s going to clean up like bleach.

Just FYI, there are some really wild drugs available in the Peruvian jungle.

But if they don’t know they have to knock “shave and a haircut” first, your job gets a lot easier and you’re dealing with a lot fewer nuisance password promptings.

Very good explanation. And the benefits are even greater: because there is absolutely no response until the entire secret knock is correctly used, the random guy trying to get in doesn’t even know if there’s anyone at that address. (In fact, set up correctly, they won’t even know if there’s really a door there or not)

If you want to go down that path, a password is only security by obscurity.

Port knocking is an extra layer of security, and one that can stop attackers from ever knowing your private server even exists. A random scanner won’t even see any open ports.

Always bear in mind that any random guy advising people not to use port knocking may be doing it with malicious intent. I’m sure there’s someone out there advising that random passwords are a waste of time, and everyone should just use monkey123.

A combination of a VPN and a global SIM card with a virtual number service is going to get around any restrictions, which is just one of the many reasons this is just another stupid idea from the government.

It’s not as if the bad guys aren’t going to do this, so the whole idea is remarkably technically illiterate.

I read cycling magazines, why wouldn’t I have heard about it? It’s not exactly new.

Please stop giving your articles crappy clickbait headlines.

Park Tools is an excellent resource, as others have mentioned. In addition to the videos, I can highly recommend the Park Tools Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repairs.

All your codebase are belong to us.

It’s s toss-up as to whether they start to charge for it, or whether they ditch it after a couple of years, like they have done with so many other side-projects.

With that write-up, I’m disappointed that there isn’t even one Delorean.

Mind you, parking at 88 mph might explain why the 1st car is waaayy off-centre.
