- What I don't understand is how the site will send the 2FA code request to the bad actors phone, instead of the real users phone? Is this not part of what makes it more secure than a text or email? Wouldn't the bad actor need to be logged into the authenticator as the user your trying to hack?
- Can you explain this more, I don't understand Google authenticator completely? Could a bad actor spoof a 2FA as they can with an email, and capture your input?
- I have started using —ahem— em dashes more regularly so people think I am as smart —well clever at least— as AI.
- This is Spinal Tap.
- I think the term for this would be "poser", the not cool sub segment of the cool kids.
- Dogs, in the US, are no longer an asset to use as a tool, such as herding, but merely a companion in the vast majority of cases. Agreed they became what they were in order to be useful enough to feed and care for, but different traits may be desired as a pure companion.
- It always fascinated me that particular behaviors, like herding, can be so ingrained to a particular breed of dog. The dog is no longer in a setting where this is crucial to their survival, yet the urge exists. I do wonder for how many generations the behaviors would last, assuming the dominant genes were not surpressed. That is of course assuming genes are the factor that drives it. It's almost as if environment has little to do with the behavior in this case, other than having opportunity to exhibit the behavior.
- Yes, my thoughts exactly too. Not an endorsement by the way.
- If the answer is the end of - I'll call it - "Consumerism", and the industries we choose to subsidize are those that are more essential to a community driven life (e.g. food, shelter, health, education, transportation, communication, etc ...), I think it is possible to lower the "Standard of Living" as reshaping what the term means, undoing years of advertisement based conditioning.
Americans may no longer have an unnecessarily large or luxurious automobile, or a screen in every room, but I would argue excess becoming the standard is the problem and a major cause of the imbalance.
The solution doesn't feel very democratic or free though, values that have been critical to the identity of the USA.
- You have a place to live and avocados now, that could be considered a win win. "Win" is such a subjective term as used here. The equation is not as simple as jobs lost equals bad, jobs gained equals good. I too have the gut reaction that a farm subdivided is a bad thing, but logically I can't really convince myself it's really as simple as that.
- Recording and watching or listening to myself play has been very helpful for me. Even a temporary recording of just the current session, or most recent n minutes/beats would be nice. It's hard to evaluate execution in real time while performing it. To get it right as a user experience is not a simple task though. However, your great minimal feature set could also be seen as a plus to drive the practice routine efficiently no matter the quality, you'll get better too.
- I recognize the reference because of the tool. I remember the name because it's simple. The flavor itself is irrelevant in my thought process.
- Urchin, the software name of the precursor to GA, has an umami flavor. I find the naming quite clever and easy to remember.
- It is privacy oriented from the perspective of the company, not the individual. I think there is some value in that. Although it makes it no more likely to be secure or private for the individual end user visiting the site though.
- The petroleum age would seem an even more encompassing description along the same theory.

- Integration tests can be very resource intensive. In larger projects the time it takes to run and set these up these is often daunting. Yes, the idea is regression of business logic in practice, but in reality I have found it leads to test resentment (and writers of those tests) and smaller or no test being written instead. Additionally the regressions added are often to the test suite itself and not the actual application.
- I have always found integration tests most important in order to test business logic when your customers pay for your trust and especially when they rely on your code for revenue while interacting with a third party. However, they should be thrown away immediately after proving your coded logic matches business requirements as they are slow and lose value and become tech debt quickly. Unit tests, if needed, should be even more temporary in my opinion. Often a CLI can be sufficient as a "unit test" during the development process.
- Neurology is still such a black box medically. Did you by any chance have a brain MRI at any point? If yes, and your willing to share, what portion of the brain was impacted? If more than one, has there been diagnostically visible change between them? Did you get any treatment? I can be reached at first at full tod moc if you prefer.
- I find that the more music creation and distribution is gamified, the less gratifying it is for me. Discovery of the music and people who share your distinct musical passions is such and important part of the process of enjoying music and it's creation. On first look I thought, interesting, why would they go ruin the best (if also one of the more frustrating) parts of music creation. No thanks, too derivative and solving a problem in a way that feels icky to me.
- This would follow the same path as the music industry and the revival of vinyl record albums. Most are collected and not played since streaming is so much easier and portable. I would go further and say that paperbacks will fall almost completely out of favor as they are less durable and could be seen as more of a "waste" environmentally. A bookshelf in a home is still a wall of virtue and interest signals and I don't think that will go away completely.
- It's a term I just coined and wasn't meant literally. I was referring to interactions that make you feel good and unintentionally become a habit. Myself, I come here to feel clever and learn by engaging in subject matter that interests me. I don't always hit the mark, but I try. I also realize others use social media such as Facebook for the same reason. In my younger days I may have done the same by conversing with strangers in coffee shops or bars.
- When paperback books came out they too were looked at with disdain. Too inexpensive to produce, therefore not trustworthy. Too easy for anyone to read, anytime. They were designed to fit into pockets. Then, even cheaper and disposable comics were created. They were taken away by parents for being junk, a waste of time. Then they got rebranded as graphic novels in order to give them more legitimatcy.
- This for one. This site is on the dopamine list. Phone is a metaphor. Choose your addictions wisely.
Edit: removed unnecessary, kinda rude, wording.
- premodern: broadly defined as between the late medieval period and the mid-nineteenth century.
- I would prefer, for future generations not me, to leave the original dialogue. They could include an intro putting the show in context and explaining current value set shortcomings instead. It would seem more productive to learn from the past values and see how they evolved, not simply erase them.
- When I bought a new 2012 VW GTI there wasn't even a schematic for the fuses. Apparently the wiring is not even consistent on a model year, so they just didn't provide it. Easy to understand why with even computer codes mechanics are stuck with a plug and pray methodology.
