Interesting, you’re still paying about $5k an hour from what I can see though. If you want to fly private and can afford it, it’s possibly a good deal.

Thank you, I didn't know that.

There's a few solutions:

LittleSnitch 4 can continue to work (with the kext) on Big Sur following this: [1]

LittleSnitch 5 can block all protected MacOS processes by following this: [2]

Murus can use PF and block IPs for Apple services: [3]. This isn't per process, and is really just a UI for the built-in PF process.

If you'd like to block the notarization check, you can block trustd (/usr/libexec/trustd) access to ocsp.apple.com (on both system and user process ownership in LittleSnitch).

Hope this helps. It's really not as bad as you think, there's a few solutions depending how thoroughly you want to block things.

I believe you can still block the specific destination IPs with pf using murus if you want, but yes it's quite bothersome.

You can find the full list of apps that bypass it here: /System/Library/Frameworks/NetworkExtension.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist under ContentFilterExclusionList.

Yep, I was just noting it for anyone else that tried it and was curious.

Yep, it is, I was just noting it in case someone was wondering why it was being wonky after trying it out.

I already did just to test it out, the results include a 'next' link that you can use :)

It works, but the tracks api is limited to 100 max results, so you have to call it multiple times with offset for larger playlists [1].

New comment by hello_asdf in "I don’t have time for coding challenges"

hello_asdf — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 19:27:49 +0000

I disagree with the author. A coding challenge is a good way to judge how a candidate approaches a problem. The ability to walk through what you’re thinking while you’re doing it is a great judge of ability.

It also helps to weed out people who can’t actually program, this comes up annoyingly often.

I agree that having intentional errors in a starter repository is bad though.

Looks great, what's the advantage over SaatchiArt? Is it just a competing service?

Couple things that I'd like to have:

1. Filter by full pricing

2. Filter by canvas / wood / etc.

3. Filter by oil / acrylic / etc.

For the author: any tips or recommendations for electric curtains? I'd love to automate that.

Why am I finding out about this from the news and not an email from Capital One themselves? I wish there was legal liability to inform customers in the event of a data breach.

It sounds like they talked with her surviving family and got permission. The second half of the article is from them.
