Falmarri | 1 year ago | on: Former University of Iowa hospital employee used fake identity for 35 years
Why would that be a cause for concern?
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Microsoft is driving users away
I can't believe there are people that actually like powershell

And where I am at least, the superchargers aren't really even any more expensive than my utility rate

Don't use reverse proxies you don't trust

You can hash them without a salt and store them in a set of passwords not associated to user accounts to enforce uniqueness without having to actually know the passwords

Do you mean setting a database user account? As in the oracle user? Why is that exposed over the web?

>I feel the major issue with excel (and other stuff such as CSS) is that one learns by cobbling things together and never through a formal process.
This is literally all programming, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you keep learning and don't just keep doing the same cobbled together mess for years and years
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Unveiling the big leap in Ruby 3.3's IRB
Gross. Python is a million times better than ruby to read and write

Yes. It could be 25 Django services
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Microsoft Will Eventually Start Charging You for Windows 10 Security Updates
Try a distro with KDE, especially a rolling release distro like opensuse tumbleweed. KDE will feel a lot more like "good" windows.
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Wayland Isn't Going to Save the Linux Desktop (2022)
I think that's the issue. People use LTS distros running ancient software versions and declare Wayland sucks
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Despite just 5.8% sales, over 38% of bug reports come from the Linux community (2021)
Using a non rolling release distro as a desktop makes 0 sense. You're holding off on upgrades, forcing 1 gigantic upgrade at once that will never be tested. Do you have a dev or staging environment for your desktop upgrades? Why not do small incremental updates all the time?
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: My Free Speech Means You Have to Shut Up
It's totally fair. If you're going to be intentionally ambiguous just because it's technically correct, we can just assume you're an asshole and extrapolate from there

>After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism
Is this serious comment? There was nothing that happened in the parties in the 1960s? Maybe 1964? All of a sudden the people in the south just suddenly decided to no longer be racist, and joined the Republican party fighting _against_ racism?
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Oregon decriminalized hard drugs – it isn't working
Yes, and now they have a criminal record AND a drug addiction. So much better and more likely they'll stay sober
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Who falls for fake news? Psychological and clinical profiling evidence
How much yuan do you get for posting this?
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Tailwind vs. Semantic CSS
Why do you think this example is supposed to be the pinnacle of what the most performance and optimized tailwind can be?
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.0 release
Absolutely this. It's usable, but just barely, and not even close to a replacement for a real linux system
Falmarri | 2 years ago | on: Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.0 release
Ok, how do I actually install this? `wsl --update` says I'm up to date, but wsl --version` shows `WSL version: 1.2.5.0`.

I rewrite most of my code 2-3 times before I'm done and I'm still 5x faster than anyone else, and significantly higher quality and maintainability as well. People spend twice as long writing the ugliest, hackiest code as they would have to just learn to do it right
