What do they call the law that says they can’t increase the major version?

great, if you can figure out how to lie to only murderers we wouldn’t even need police to investigate

They should promise not to become wikimedia board members. That is the main thing that allows fandom to be so bad.

Wow, he shredded the only copy of the key his database backups were encrypted with.

I don’t think the fact is controversial, it’s just that the fact lacks context of being directed at a harassed minority. “There are higher crime statistics in majority black communities” is also a true but if you constantly go around screaming it we will wonder what your intentions are, education of facts?

And biological parents don’t believe society will collapse and people will forget how to make babies if I call them “Guardians”

No. It has a mini-pci-e shaped port and some nvme fit that size, but i believe it is for expansion boards (like the cellular module?) you could add NVME via USB port, but this thing is more like a raspberry pi, and not going to have the IO to use NVME much faster than SD card speeds.

A co-worker made this when we worked together on a project that ran a large number of terraform configurations in CI against real IaaSes. Each account was a sandbox, so we would run this at the end of a pipeline to clean up any failures or faulty teardowns.

New comment by evanfarrar in "Ask HN: Why do password managers have TOTP?"

evanfarrar — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 06:43:42 +0000

I disagree that storing these separately is “the whole point of MFA”. Passwords can be hacked in a number of places, not just client side or in the password manager, so TOTP mitigates MITM style attacks where the password is known by an attacker but it was not gained from the password manager or the site. I certainly get that separating them would be theoretically better, but with TOTP in my password manager I end up using TOTP everywhere.

why use a registry at all? print NFTs on paper and mail it to the collectors.

I’ve certainly been blocked by chase on linux with firefox, but I was only using their auto loans at the time. It was super annoying, because I first tried to get a payoff quote on the iOS app, then the mobile website, then on a linux laptop, before resigning and using my work Macbook. Perhaps other lines of business support linux better?

Tuple is great, zoom is OK, tmux plus a neutral VM in AWS is great for lower bandwidth pairing.

This is not wrong though.

My employer, VMware, has many teams working on Cloud Foundry that do pair programming. It can be more exhausting to pair program remotely, so I would reckon few do so 40 hours a week.

Find a job that is (remote) pairing?

I have seen hardware shops that are eerily quiet and sparsely populated, so being in an office is not a precursor for social interaction.

They forgot to include the thing where you scroll down to fit as much of the article on one screen and then an ad loads in bumping the article off screen and then the ad disappears again if you scroll up.

I live in LA, I would go. LA county is 4,000 sq miles. We have areas that are very anti-vax and anti-mask, they are not necessarily where you will be as a tourist.
