In fact, I'm pretty sure this already happens and the results are exactly what you'd expect. Some of the "alternate routes" Google Maps has suggested for me in the past are almost certainly due to other people making unscheduled detours for gas or whatever, and the algorithm thinks "oh this random loop on a side street is popular, let's suggest it". And then anyone silly enough to follow the suggestion just adds more signal to the noise.
I wrote a budgeting web app for myself. I love it when I realize there's a feature missing or implemented not quite right and I can immediately add/fix it. But my favorite part is that I never have to log in, because no user accounts (it's safely behind wireguard).
That's a good way of putting it. In the past when I realized I was dreaming, I would take advantage of the situation and change things, give myself superpowers, etc. But in recent years my few lucid dreams have had really interesting plots, so I consciously chose to let things be and just see where they go.
Mastercard: "We have looked into the matter and there was not a risk to our systems"
Also Mastercard: has expressed concerns about the public nature of this disclosure.
Good for him for making it all public. The only way to (sometimes) get big companies to fix their mistakes (besides the legal system) is to shame them into it.
I would love it if roundabouts caught on in the states, at least the single-lane ones. Multi-lane and the huge ones with traffic lights always scared me when driving in the UK.
The county where I live recently (within the last couple of years) redid a two-way stop along the road I take to work. It used to be east-west that had the stop signs, but for some reason they switched them to north-south. Even more baffling, they didn't repaint the stop lines so east-west still had those and north-south didn't. It effectively turned the intersection into a four-way stop with extra confusion, frustration, and danger.
They eventually turned it into an actual four-way, thankfully. I think everyone would have been happier if they just hadn't messed with it in the first place.
If you had two rounding digital clocks, one with seconds and one without, they would switch to the next minute 29.5 seconds apart. Everyone would hate that.
I use docker compose for development because it's easy to spin up an entire project at once. Tried switching to podman compose but it didn't work out of the box and I wasn't motivated to fix it.
For "production" (my homelab server), I switched from docker compose to podman quadlets (systemd) and it was pretty straightforward. I actually like it better than compose because, for example, I can ensure a containers dependencies (e.g. database, filesystem mounts) are started first. You can kind of do that with compose but it's very limited. Also, systemd is much more configurable when it comes to dealing service failures.
I'm a Rails programmer and recently the Ruby language plugin for VSCode I was using was deprecated so I switched to Shopify's ruby-lsp. On the one hand, it's much much more capable than the old plugin: better syntax highlighting, actually useful inline definitions, style hints, etc. On the other hand, it's also way more annoying: there's a bug that sometimes breaks my projects' dependencies so I have to reinstall them, the code completion actually slows me down more than it helps, and if the LSP can't start for some reason (which happens quite often) I get a stack of error popups in the corner of my screen.
On the whole I think I prefer my old setup. All I really need out of my IDE is decent syntax highlighting. I've got devdocs.io for Ruby and most Rails definitions and I know how to spelunk through the Rails codebase for anything that misses. Go-to-definition is handy for my own code but I generally know where it lives, and if I've forgotten there's always ctrl-shift-f or `method(:blah).source_location`.
If Microsoft really wants to push passkeys, why do they require Microsoft Authenticator for passwordless accounts? I already have a passkey set up and I'd be perfectly happy to delete my password, but I can't because I don't want yet another authenticator app exclusively for an account I barely use.
AT&T won't even build fiber home internet where they've already got fiber. One of their fiber lines has been running under my driveway for years but they've never offered it at my address.
My wife does the same kind of thing, except she wrote a whole web app that I host on my homelab server (we're both rails devs). The app keeps track of upcoming meals on a calendar, number of leftover servings in the freezer, ingredients needed for upcoming meals, etc.
I just noticed this recently with a USB-C flashlight. It wouldn't charge with a C-C cable but started working when I switched to an A-C cable. Good to know why.
> It matters, because when the prefix changes, it changes IP addresses of every single device in your network.
My solution for my home network was to write a script that periodically checks my IPv6 prefix and updates the firewall rules and DNS if it ever changes. It doesn't feel like a great way to do it but it seems to work.
The biggest benefit of Night Shift to me is that warm light is much less painful in a dim room than bluer light. I don't like my wife's car except for one feature: the dashboard lights are all orange rather than the standard white/blue, which is much nicer when driving at night.
I recently switched from Pi-Hole to AdGuard Home, it was pretty straightforward to migrate my configuration and so far it's working great. I've actually got two servers running AGH + unbound (authoritative) so my internet keeps working if one setup breaks/reboots.
I almost did this the other day when I got a fake Docusign phishing email. Unfortunately, I found that the webpage it led to was sending collected credentials to an apparently innocent but hacked third-party wordpress site, which I assume forwarded the info elsewhere. I didn't want to waste the third party's bandwidth so I used their contact form to explain the situation. Didn't expect a response, but I just checked and they fixed it!
Well, at first it only showed up as 2 TB, which was at least possible though unlikely. But f3 indicated it was faking 10, at which point I realized it was presenting several additional partitions that were so corrupted the OS wasn’t even making them available to mount. After that I opened it just to see what was inside.
Had a similar experience with a friend's "10 TB" SSD. After I tested it with f3 and confirmed it was fake, I opened the case and found a 64 GB microSD card and an adapter/faker board.
It can be interpreted both ways: "I cannot recommend X too highly (because they suck)" vs "I cannot recommend X too highly (because whatever praise I give will be inadequate)"
The article doesn't say the customer's car was at 98% when he picked it up. It says the last time the author rented a Tesla it was at 98%. It also says 96% is "the same as they'd [the customer with the fee] picked it up at".
The last time I rented a car I was hit with two bogus extra charges, both of which I disputed successfully. I assume this got me put on a "no rent" list with the company, but dealing with the situation left such a bad taste in my mouth that I won't ever rent from them again regardless. I imagine it's the same for many if not most people in that situation.
The intention was "any email associated with the user". You submitted an email address, Gitlab looked up the account associated with it, then sent the reset email to the supplied address. The issue was they didn't consider what would happen if you submitted an array of emails.
