Perhaps worth pointing out that the attacks require the attacker to position a piece of hardware between the Qi charger and the power source.

It still works since multiple identical keys are still valid json. Although that in itself isn't fantastic imo.

This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it's not suitable for all locations.

Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.

In which countries is sugar added to skimmed milk? It is not in Sweden - skimmed and semi-skimmed are purely the result of removing fat from whole milk.

It's a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.

I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:

• any and all soft skills
• version control
• refactoring
• testing and the value of testing
• staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc

My experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that's not terribly useful info, but it's really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it's been on my keychain all that time so isn't terribly flimsy.

The only thing worse than people using WD-40 instead of a better product, are the mental gymnastics performed by people pretending a product which is 35% oil and sold as a lubricant, actually isn't.

I had horse steak from the UK, it was superbly tender and a lovely mellow taste. I was quite surprised.

Use a toothpaste or mouthwash containing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorhexidine

Python was always strongly typed. For years there has been optional static typing and - you know - unit tests.

If you're having significant issues due to not knowing what types you're using, the type system may not be your greatest problem...

If you add Lenny Henry to the end, you win a prize.

On this topic, on this instance, it's far far worse than the standard of discourse on reddit

Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that's been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I've been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.

I have a brand new Apple product with both a headphone jack and an SD card reader.

To be fair it only has HDMI and not a VGA connector, and there's no floppy disk drive or serial port.

Everyone loves to hate.

Well done, that's less false than your initial comment.

When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren't described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who's land and homes had been occupied.

I agree from the opposite direction:

20 years ago I switched to zero drop minimalist footwear for running, hiking, and almost all everyday activities (everything except weddings and funerals). I only wear footwear that has no relation at all to my foot's arch, my weight, or my gait.

Best decision for my knees, ankles, and hips I think I ever made.
