You're getting downvoted to hell, but I'm going to respond anyway. The parent poster here is fully transitioning their gender. They're not cross-dressing at night, they're not "closeted trans"--they're changing their identity for their whole life, in all contexts--personal, professional, etc. Furthermore, they don't want to be known by their old identity anymore--in the parlance, that's called a deadname. So they're informing people of that happening, of who they're identifying as from now on.

Which basically ensures no one will start a shooting war.

The Athlon line was AMD's first Renaissance!

Like Moore's law, the trend is true, until it isn't.

What free market? It's a duopoly.

They can keep that pricing structure (which is already theft) until a competitor forces their hand not to. So hum, it's going to remain this way, or _get worse_, for quite a while.

Is the box labelled "Almost 200 pieces"?

MS Research does cool stuff but MS is comically bad at turning the results into successful commercial products. By all rights, in terms of research results and focus, the iPad should have been a Microsoft product. Microsoft remains good at making faster horses...

Now imagine if someone had founded a corporate research lab around Babbage's work...

I did not know NeXT/Macs were so central to the Web's origins!

> Apple won't be phased; they basically design everything themselves

Their new notebooks are still moving to an ARM-based CPU... Even if they enhanced the ARM design they still have an ARM licence.

Under the GPDR, lack of deletion is also a risk.

After pre-commit linting, you get post-pull linting... If you kept the code in a RAM drive this might even be quick. 8)

Don't these users have a recent version of MS Word?

Noooo!! They had the best toys.

Unfortunately their shipping to Canada made everything double the price for me...

Cognito is a popular auth service that's used by many people who want to launch an MVP on AWS, for example. You would not keep the password yourself at that point.

Later on you might realize that you've bound your user ID to email and that you need to use UUID, where email is just a contact address.

You might even want to have users have multiple accounts that use the same email address.

You might decide to bind the user's account to their phone number instead.

It's not about One True Strategy, but about looking further into what you will need in the future. You might decide not to develop something right away, but you can avoid much refactoring later by making a smart decision now that did not involve any more work than the less smart decision.

The problem with issues like this is that this is patch development. If you don't look a couple steps ahead and at least think through your "nice to have" problems, you might end up getting the architecture wrong. The password reset problem might drive you to find an authentication library instead of rolling your own. Suddenly, your "nice to have" problem is fixed before you get to it, because you decided to look at the larger picture instead of just rushing to just rely on an email and password column in your MVP. That way when you demo your app to an investor or early beta users, you won't be stuck saying "oh, there's no password reset, just create another one".

> It's not a nice problem to have. It is not a problem.

I think you misunderstand his word usage, though you're seemingly following the same process.

A "nice problem to have" is one that results from having success. Yes, he doesn't have the problem now, because he's got no users, so indeed, having to reset the passwords of existing users would be a "nice to have" problem.

You're already in the "nice to have" zone (clients with problems to solve!), and you want to fix those problems brought on by popularity.

A financial stake is usually about making a profit. The Gates Foundation is not going to make any profit here, it's looking at funding vaccines at super low cost and giving them away or the manufacturer selling them for as little as possible to governments who would give them away. I hated Gates the monopolist and the foundation has messed up on a few questions (see: efforts in Education), but how in hell can you say that it has a financial stake? If anything, the most successful people are at finding a solution, the more he's going to deplete the coffers of the Foundation, as a vaccine manufacturing force multiplier.

Back when Toronto regularly had smog alerts, I could only bike commute (on major arteries) with a mask on.

The Swype app used to be so much better at this, but Google had to go and buy it, retire the product and absorb none of its algorithms into Gboard. Such a loss.

Or you know, make up for the missed opportunity of 2008/2009, where the government could have bailed out underwater homeowners so that the bailout would have trickled up to the mortgage holders, instead of pouring money into banks and letting people suffer. Thanks, Obama.

Canada's CERB and CECRA have been doing wonders to keep ordinary people either afloat or employed, trickling up to small businesses all over.

(I don't mind your plan either, but it involves more per-company hand-holding than simply giving out generous unemployment and employment-support benefits)

The point made by GP is that it's sad how phone makers remove things that were expected stock characteristics from all phones, and are now threatened with extinction. Almost all android phones used to have a microSD slot to add storage, and for most of them, you could also open up the phone and just slide in a new battery. Now this requires specialty tools and great care, or paying someone to do it for you...

You blocked your own number?

It's obvious that TV makers have decided that seeing artifacts is not preferable. I wish that was toggleable.

I'm still working my way through Mexico! :) I'm glad he's taking a break so I can hopefully catch up before he gets back...

AFAIK there are no "NATO payments". There's just an expectation that NATO countries will spend 2% of GDP on defense, and most European countries are far behind that. Germany however has increased its spending in recent years and is getting closer to the mark.

Trump just doesn't understand the geostrategic position of the U.S., where troops stationed in critical countries prevent invasions which would upturn its imperial economic order. Trump thinks the U.S. has stationed troops in SK, Germany, Taiwan for the countries' interests, where they were clearly deployed there to defend its own.

If you're not already listening to the Revolutions Podcast, treat yourself... (You can skip the American and maybe British "revolution", and start at the French Revolution if you're not sure this is for you)

Only took what, three years since that vulnerability was found?

Every time I search for an answer to a technical question, and I end up on a mailing list post, I get the old great/damn response: Great, that's my question! Damn, will it actually be accompanied by an answer??
