I’m all for companies to not ignore their responsibility for data management, but I’m concerned that type of punishment could be used as a weapon against competitors. I can imagine that certain classes of useful companies would just not be able to exist. Tricky balance to make companies actually care without crippling insurance.
I’d bet they would if they were offered a nearly 30% price reduction.

What one believes vs. what is actually correct can be very different.

It’s very similar to what one feels vs. reality.

I think in this context it's that your database server is lost if you accidentally forget to write KEEP DATABASE.
Re:The Weird History of the Barcode on Sunday October 20, 2024 @07:16PM (#41899297)
I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I was told the guide bars on every code (each end, plus middle) is the code for digit 6, so 666 on every one. Something about the mark of the beast on every person. People can find something coincidental when they want I suppose.
Re:TIL: Versions of UUID and when to use them on Sunday August 25, 2024 @07:38PM (#41352531)
A feature of a Sqid library I've used is that it can pad the value out to a minimum set of characters, so even an internal id of 1 can look substantial.

According to the readme on github, yes, although it takes about an extra 30GB of drive space.

I wonder if progress will halt once newer versions of MacOS without Intel support are released?

Can I run docker inside this container to get MacOS to run inside MacOS? ;)

Got it.

use_boolean = false;

Great comment. Authy seems to be taking a user hostile stance by taking hostage peoples OTP's this way.

Re:Android features I'm envy of as an iPhone user on Saturday April 20, 2024 @01:30AM (#40095047)
One thing I greatly appreciate on Android is when selecting text of an actual email address (i.e. with long press), it automatically expands to capture the whole email address and gives me relevant email options straight away. On iOS you have to manually move the left and right pins which is its own little mini-game experience.

Edit: This appears to be a Chrome thing.

Sounds like interesting problems to solve, are you looking for more people?
Re:Base64 Encoding, Explained on Monday October 23, 2023 @06:52AM (#37983913)
I think mostly because it’s less efficient byte transfer size, roughly +25%, and also it won’t be downloaded as an image in parallel.
In IOS, I'm pretty sure you cannot add an app that currently sits on the far right of the screen to a folder anywhere beneath it.
Client is available for Apple ecosystem only.
The fact that you can't use this extension (amongst many others) with Safari - therefore Safari on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS cannot benefit from this type of sharing. Walled garden strikes again.

I'm not saying that Safari is a bad browser, but artificial limitations imposed by Apple on the browser and the OS is quite frustrating for me.

Another reason why Safari shouldn't be considered a user friendly browser.
No, lobbying becomes bribery when money or favors exchanges hands.
I wonder why Reddit didn't buy the app?

It won’t be as “magical”, “delightful”, and “inspiring”.

My guess through compromised boxes (or some apps) that act as proxies.
Then using public infrastructure is freeloading.

Re:How to store your app's entire state in the url on Monday January 09, 2023 @03:55PM (#34315905)
Originally en-AU. I was trying to match the "have" with a "has". My sentence has a truncated " the problem" in my head.

Your version reads more correct, thanks for pointing it out.

base64 does not have the problem here, iMessage has. Frustrating.

Jobs does not deserve any mention among those other people. Jobs was a leader (tyrant by many accounts) and didn’t advance or discover anything?
