Re:A farewell to Arc browser

I'll miss Arc but got fed up about 4 months ago and switched to Safari with a combination of SupaSidebar[1] for the spaces/vertical tabs and OpenIn [2] for Air Traffic Control. I'm pretty happy with it!

Growing up I read Dilbert in the paper every morning. At some point I got one of the compilation books and for some reason in an epilogue Adams included his alternate theory of gravity which was essentially that gravity as force didn't exist and things pressed down on each other because everything was expanding at the same rate. He said he had yet to find anyone who could refute this.
Even at 12 I could tell this guy was an annoying idiot. Loved the comic though.

Based on your replies I doubt there’s anything that would actually convince you, but as it happens the data is pretty public and there are plenty of charts charts:

Oy. How does a site like this even make it to the front page? America's Frontline Doctors is a right-wing cutout full of the usual conspiracy theorists and ghouls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Frontline_Doctors

Untrue, I just looked at my phone and I have an NYT alert from 3 hours ago: "Inflation hit the highest rate in a generation last month. Consumer prices rose by nearly 7%..."
It's also right on the front page of NYT.com

Re:FTC and several states sue Frontier Communications regarding intern...
on Wednesday May 19, 2021 @04:44PM (#27214226)
I got Frontier after moving into a house with no internet in upstate New York ("Upstate" being 100 Mi north of NYC). I ordered the 20Mbit plan and after missing and having to call to reschedule 3 installs (w/ 12 hour windows), the first words out of the installers mouth was "you got scammed". Indeed our signal was so weak we were only able to sustain about 0.5kbps. They wanted $75/mo for this and made it as hard as possible to cancel.
The basic history of Frontier in my area is that they bought up all of Verizon's old copper lines and have done exactly nothing to improve the capability. They don't even know what the capabilities ARE. Areas are either oversubscribed or so far from nodes that the signal is worthless. They're trying to squeeze every last cent out of rural houses with no other options and letting the underlying infrastructure slowly fail.
I ended up using a pretty performant (~50Mbit) LTE connection, hacked AT&T hotspot and yagi antenna for 2 years. Finally, as part of a rural broadband grant program New York State got Altice to come in-- probably in exchange for a monopoly in a more attractive part of the state. Now I have 300Mbit cable for $100/mo. Altice (aka Optimum) is also a terrible company, but Frontier still sends me postcards claiming to be "the best internet in <my town>".
These guys are selling a product that doesn't work. They deserve to be sued and I'm disappointed that New York State isn't involved.

Re:The Wreck of Amtrak 188

I was on a Northeast Corridor trip once when the train was struck from the side by a rock. It sounded like a gunshot went off inside the car-- everyone jumped and there were more than a few shouts. I can imagine being hit head-on by a rock at night would be enough to distract an engineer for a few critical minutes. What a shame.

If you're looking for a less functional Hubot that's been around for years, why not use Last.fm's irccat? http://www.metabrew.com/article/how-we-use-irc-at-lastfm
It already does the whole "kick of a script with these params from irc" thing and can easily be piped to from any langage that can open a port.

Hold on a second, only EBS-backed instances and RDS are having trouble, yes? Not EC2 in general and not other services. To say "amazon aws services" is misleading.

Re:Apple's Safari Browser Gives Search Marketers Headaches
on Saturday March 19, 2011 @11:00PM (#2345402)
This caused a bunch of headaches at Vimeo while working on our iframe embed code a couple months back. If I remember correctly Safari (and now I believe Chrome 10) will not send cookies in iframe POSTs unless a user specifically navigates in that iframe. So for example clicking the "like" button in a Vimeo video wouldn't work right away. There is a workaround: you programmatically fake a POST right away, and the second POST works because the user has interacted with it.
This might be a nice "headache" for marketers, but there are legit uses. As a developer I'd prefer if browsers were consistent in their default handling of cookies.

Re:GET vs POST in terms of security
on Monday January 17, 2011 @11:21PM (#2114567)
There are two additional security features POST has that GET does not:
1- POSTs cannot be forwarded
2- some browsers (webkit only I believe) require a client to interact with a domain before they can POST to it-- this means iframes cannot POST.
When it comes to XSRF, they are equally (in)secure.
