Maybe there just not enough interest? After all there is good public transportation (especially rail), increasing biking habits and just loving the driving experience.

Same here. For some of the services I pay, say the e-mail provider, the fact that they openly deny using LLMs for coding would be a plus for me.

I am referring to the loss of entropy compared to a (theoretically) fully random 20-chars password.

Right, thanks. So from 160 bits down to 70 bits of entropy (there is also fancy syllables and bad words to take into account).

I just opened the Password app for the first time to look at the generator. It seems like the pattern is: [a-zA-Z0-9]{6}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{6} with exactly only one uppercase char and one digit. I don't want to do the maths but that looks like a lot of removed entropy.

Reasons are actually stated, they explained it is not feasible for the general case.

Once the devs have made clear they don’t plan to do exceptions (as other softwares do) then users should accept it and move on instead of keep harassing volunteers.

Some things you may want to consider when hosting map tiles in production:

- load balancing and caching. Some tiles are much more popular than others.

- how will you update the tiles (sync from OSM).

- if required, how will you manage customizations (and merges with OSM).

Not on production critical systems where there are human lives at stake. Last Friday is a pretty good example of what comes together with ungoverned ‘autoupdate’.

And in critical production systems AV/EDR upgrades should be first tested on lower environments.

Just make the fine a % of the annual revenue and that will change.

tuxone — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 08:51:45 +0000

If it’s all about thinking then being restricted by the vocabulary of your language[s] might be a limitation. As a bilingual, a common question from friends in primary school was what language I was thinking in. My answer was I don’t think words, I think images. I later read Edward de Bono Lateral Thinking. I might be out of context here but I thought someone might be interested in the book.

> The fact that the back link is broken on that very page adds yet another level of irony here though.

The original Privacy and Terms links do open in a new tab so the back button is broken on the website but works when deep linked.

Fun fact, 500 euro bank notes are worth more than 500 euro as they are used to illegally move money (because of their high value/weight ratio). 550 euro 6 years ago, as per Nicola Gratteri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wugqeLgOPZM

I see it as a combination of distraction and being eager to consume something. Everything in the page (and before that, in the link title) screams “this is a game” yet Start was pressed without reading the 33-words down the bold How to play. A U issue more than UX.

What they are asking would be used as an annoying tool against the user in the same way today sites ask for user location or push notification (on other OSs).

Websites are not randomly asking for mic or camera because that would be creepy and visitors would just run away.

I am not lecturing, I am giving my feedback on the matter, like everyone else here. If your product is good, users will save your site in their home, don’t worry about that.

I wonder when you people will stop thinking with your marketing/growhacking/SEO/spam brain and start being on the user side. If you want low value visitors just go and buy ad clicks, thanks!
