Yes. There was no 'GB of memory' in that day.

This webpage is truly the peak of webpage design. It's got everything you need, nothing you don't, will load nearly instantly on basically any internet connection.

I was just having a conversation the other day about the demise of niche websites. There really are only about 20 websites on the internet anyway, rather than the millions and millions of vertical sites maintained by people passionate about their subject matter.

I've never heard lightning strike, always thundering herd.

SMS 2FA and TOTP aren't mutually exclusive are they?

TOTP -> Time-based One Time Password SMS -> Delivery mechanism.

You can deliver TOTP over SMS.

Obviously, SMS shouldn't be used, but I was under the impression that the code generation mechanism and the code generation algorithms are completely disparate concepts.

I agree. This design is incredibly strange, and seems to throw away basically all distributed systems knowledge. I'm glad folks are playing with different ideas, but this one seems off.

Same exact thing with my wifes 2023 BMW. Exactly the same spot.

Skype is the skype of video. I couldn't even get passed that part.

DNS. It's always DNS

ICE vs Electric has nothing to do with buttons vs touchscreens.

Nearly every modern gas vehicle has remote start, and has for years. This isn't an EV feature.

Did you forget a 0? Should likely be 2,000k salary.

Then don't use GRPC and Protobufs. I've had exactly the opposite experience building enterprise software with Go.

My kids are now 13 and 17. We've cursed in front of them and "allowed" them to curse since they were little. Language is language and words aren't inheriently "bad." The idea that a list of 7 words is some how offensive is asinine.

My kids are exceptional students, smart, do all the same activites as other kids. All the other kids curse, too, they just pretend they don't in front of their parents. It's a very silly game.

Ahh yes. The two male companionship choices. Single, or married to a woman annoyed with his hobbies.

Can we get a source on that? I've successfully used guniron for APIs getting hundreds of thousands to millions of requests a second.

I've also found it's best to question anytime someone suggests a technology "doesn't scale."

This is becoming more and more common from issuers. BoA, Chase, and even Venmo Credit have this or similar functionality.

The grocery store across from my apartment takes BTC. QR code you scan on the POS when you checkout.

Amphetamine is and has always been free.

You can always just disable the screensaver on your Mac if you'd like. Amphetamine really helps when you have MDM installed or something that requires your computer to sleep every so often.

Lots of items have incredibly short shelf-lives as well. I spent nearly a decade in the live event ticketing industry so I'll focus on that.

A significant precent of ticket sales are last minute. A friend tagging a long or someone waiting for prices to drop. Food spoils and looses quality fast, but so do good from many industries. I think carving out an exception for food is potentially a slippery slope.

It would probably be better to carve out exceptions for any item that could potentially be worthless after some amount of time. Live event tickets, food, travel, etc.

Just to expand on this a bit, 31337 goes waay back. Before 'gamer culture' was a thing, and was popular enough to where it got mentions in the 1995 movie Hackers.

I vividly remember BBS and IRC handles with variations of 31337 in them in the 80s. I'm sure it goes back even farther.

Unless you move to a farm and grow everything yourself, I think yes. It would literally be impossible to live with out them.

I'm sure the POS at your corner store somehow interacts with AWS or GCP, but I'm not sure that should 'count.' As well as not visiting any site that is hosted on a cloud provider.

You could almost certainly live a life with significantly reduced quality by living without the tech giants directly, but to not visit websites that are hosted on AWS, and still shop at a local shop that uses Square or other payment provider that's hosted in the cloud seems disingenuous to me.

Xfinity (in my neighborhood) is a monopoly. I literally cannot get any other fast internet service at my apartment.

I can, however, chose to buy a different phone.

Sure it is. Android phones are cheap, windows computers can be cheap, a home-build with linux would be cheaper.

The only 'expense' is the few hours to relearn a few keystrokes.

Yes, that might be an oversimplification, but it's really not that expeisve or difficult to move from one platform to antother.

There are several reasons, terrain being one of them.

Also the commuter/long distance tracks are all owned by the freight liners, so passanger trains have to yield for them. There are also hour+ stops at some stations.

Kafka is the futherest thing from a library that I can even remotely think of.

There's always a mine no matter where you click first.

Why hop the network for this?

Congrats to the Timber Team on this one. Ben and Zach were a couple of former colleagues on mine.

Yup. Twttr was basically SMS only.

This is very correct.
