Gipetto | 3 years ago | on: Find a Font (1976) [pdf]
This reminds me of my pre-press days where we had a binder full of font sample printouts. Customers would pore over that for hours...

Nothing you do, aside maybe from putting it behind a login, will prevent your content from being ripped off. Its just a sad part of what we have to live with.

No, its there...

Git aliases to the rescue:
pr !open "$(git remote -v | grep origin | grep push | cut -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1 | sed -e "s|git@\(.*\):\(.*\).git|https://\1/\2|")/pull/new/$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"Gipetto | 5 years ago | on: Launch HN: Slapdash (YC W19) – A uniform, low-latency interface for cloud apps
So, does this mean that users hand over permissions to a 3rd party to index internal company systems?
So you could read a Confluence instance, or some other kind of wiki, and be a vector for data/security leaks?
Seems like there should be a "talk to your security team" disclaimer... people get fired for granting access like that.

Not always.
The probability of me getting photo verification is inversely proportional to the value of the package.
My $2 item that shipped by itself? Photo. $1300 worth of PC build? No photo, no doorbell, nothing...

Thank you. This industry has a huge failure mode in touting tech used in projects/frameworks without linking out to at least the source so that someone can learn about them. Can't tell you how many things I've bailed on because it was a pile of obscure library references that weren't (to me) worth looking up.

Maybe you are confusing this with RSS?

The solution here is clearly to write a new language named "do".

Gather enough non-PII data and that trove of information can sometimes itself build an identifiable picture of a person. PII in aggregate is still a problem in a GDPR conscious organization.

Is there a law about the probability that an article about programming will reference XKCD?

Looks nice. Special kudos for managing much of the wp-config though the built in config constants.
Only thing I don't like is the renaming of the root `wp-config` folder to `app`. I'd much rather have the app reflect the underlying wordpress conventions than to change it to look like something else. Yeah, consistency, but boo for barrier of entry or having to remember that `app` == `wp-config` when not everything we get to work on will get to use the shiny fandangled tool.

This is also about those of us with means helping to mainstream the technology. As we buy and help work out the bugs the technology will (hopefully) become cheaper and more widespread. When this happens we'll find low cost and intelligent devices become more accessible and hopefully become standard fare in new homes. It has practically happened already for the smartphone. Who says it can't, and shouldn't, happen here?
