I forgot phones have gyroscopes :)

Is there always a great reference for which way down is, given that the phone can be in various orientations? You might have to do some other heuristics / build some other model for that to figure out which axis to subtract your 9.8 m/s^2 from - maybe it's easier not to worry about it.

lol.

The issue isn't that it's self-deprecating, it's that it's not funny, esp. given the context. "Read the room" type of thing.

What services have you heard this about?

> Literally no one will sell you an eSim contract for just few days.

T-Mobile definitely will (I mean, you pay for x GB and minutes and it lasts a month, just like most prepaid setups). Just requires a download of their app -- I use it when I'm traveling to the states (my carrier in NZ uses a physical SIM).

One way to do that would be to look at outcomes of patients who have received the therapy to see if they feel their needs are met, like this study did.

This is a neat project. You're up against people setting up their own WireGuard exit nodes -- are these folks just not in your target audience?

Your browser remembers and replays it. localStorage/sessionStorage/cookies aren't available to parse by the time request headers are sent.

You'll notice this behavior goes away if you select the URL bar and hit enter (as if you were navigating to the site manually).

Can I ask if you actually fly planes? Moving the trim is exactly how most autopilots work. I usually fly the 172 and pitch changes made via the autopilot (I am usually flying with a GFC700) are done 100% via actuation of the trim wheel -- and the trim wheel is also the main control for adjusting control forces to maintain a given pitch attitude.

Edit: Reading your comment more closely, I think your concern is more to do with the fact that the trim is actuating the whole horizontal stabilizer rather than just the elevator? There is no separate elevator trim on the 737.

Moving SSH to a non-standard port is helpful only to reduce log noise coming from untargeted attacks. If an attacker is looking at your system, your attack surface is the same no matter where your SSH daemon is bound. I don't think it's worthy any extra effort to "distract" attackers like this.

Speaking about conspiracy by "pseudo-feminists and simps" doesn't lend a lot of credibility to the argument.

Man, your issue is not that you do not have enough external validation, it's that you crave it so badly. I guarantee you achieving your concrete goals would not make you happy -- you would just move the goalposts.

I would really recommend therapy as a way to understand and reframe the desire for external validation.

Definitely agree! That's why the author has explicitly filtered out patternwork by excluding "circles" that are particularly close to an airport. It doesn't mean anything is sinister, but this project is definitely aware of and disinterested in just finding student pilots beating up the pattern.

I do a bit of reverse engineering both professionally and for fun, and the two bits of “proper” education that have helped the most were my Hardware/Software Interface and Intro to Operating Systems classes in undergrad.

Learning how this stuff works in the forward direction makes spotting patterns a whole lot easier. It’s a lot easier to start RE when you’re already familiar with stuff like calling conventions or memory layout (for example).

From there, there isn’t a ton of formal education as far as I’ve seen. I am really fond of Smash the Stack’s IO wargame if you’re interested in CTF-style challenges. I also spent a good bit of time compiling my own small programs and then using them to learn the tools. When you’re starting off, RE is a lot easier when you know what you’re looking for.

Hey folks! Original author here -- happy to answer any questions about credential storage or the nitty-gritty of WebAuthn.

I'm not sure I agree. If you can affect the state of the runtime in ways that are not intended to be possible by the WASM API, this breaks sandboxing requirements. Even if you can't break out of the current process (due to isolation provided by the kernel), you can still cause arbitrary code execution within the process.

I mean, yeah, if you truly feel hurt when I use that word, I won't use it around you. Absolutely. It's more important to me that the people around me feel heard and seen than for me to get to use a particular word.

If a whole group of people say "hey this word makes me feel uncomfortable of hurt," then I try to modify my vocabulary accordingly and eliminate it.

Sure. My ancestors were enslaved by the British. The difference is that I do not face discrimination today as a result of that. For black people in the US today, that's not the case -- the effects of slavery are still systemic issues.

I just honestly do not believe that those are the motivations of folks trying to decolonize programming vocabulary.

It's not about intention. Nobody believes that the words "master" and "slave" are intended to cause racial stress in a technical context -- but that's not the point. The point is that these words do not exist in a vacuum, and for many people words like "master" and "slave" do in fact evoke historically-grounded feelings of discomfort, even when that isn't the intent.

When someone says "hey, I feel hurt when you use that term", the correct response (imo) is to do your best to stop using the term. It's a small sacrifice to make other people feel safer, and that's absolutely worth it.

FYI, they just started offering paper checks. It's in beta I believe. I received my first Simple checkbook and wrote a check just a couple weeks ago.

Wait, you're saying that you intentionally favor job applicants based on your admittedly subconscious biases?
