Upper management sees staff as their courtiers...

My compliments to your vocabulary and effective word choice.

I don't see why... once you "buy a column" (which you must weigh the trade-off towards readability), subsequent uses of that column on other lines are free (save the line itself, of course).

[-] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Ok... just for you, I will extend the saying to be "every line and column is a liability".

"GO ON"... over-kerned...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Even then, so the theory goes... every line of code is a liability, it is only emergent properties of the system as a whole that makes it an asset. It takes but one line to destroy it's value, and in general a 2kloc codebase is more valuable than a 4kloc codebase, if they do the same thing. QED? :)

Violation on the field, meme is not self-contained... first down vote.

That is certainly a possibility. As I recall, the video was not focused on "zoom to the stars" but something else (I'm thinking it was "you can actually see the moon moving through the sky"), so I'm more inclined to believe that I am either mis-remembering the "stars" part of the video, or that what I saw in the video was not stars (maybe Venus, Jupiter, or satellites) as it was certainly not a vast high-contrast star-field...

Is that suse-on-a-phone just a tease, or something awesome I have yet to discover?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I recall seeing one of these hyper-zoom videos on yt where they zoomed into the blue sky and at one point it turned black and stars appeared. I imagine the same holds true for LEO sats... you just need to get past that isoluminescnce barrier?

Someone said steam engines are still in use as NYC infrastructure.

I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderators won't remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

I'm not sure what the business-theory is behind putting that extra expense in (or how they suspect it will make me more likely to take a chance on their business) but it has a very odd cumulative effect... as if a constant reminder that strangers are looking at my residence.

...it would be to substitute the actual URL for the requested link text (or image) if the link's domain does not match the domain of the email's sender, the link text could still be rendered afterwards (just inert and unclickable).

Bonus points would be to highlight in red the domain name (since it will now be laid bare), to shine a giant spotlight on where the link is going (and maybe even make that the only area of the link that is clickable)?.

Why? It's pretty straight forward to require SPF to ensure the sender's domain name is legit... and this then carries the legitimacy a step forward into the link.

It would be 100% transparent to well-behaved domains (even the legit bank emails that train users to fall for phishing attacks with a "click here to login" link would look right/prestine), but provide a giant red flag ("why does this email look so broken") to phishing emails (and even intentional MITM emails like marketing campaign click counters and URL shorteners) without actually disrupting any work flow (e.g. sharing links via email between friends)... especially since so many of them have terrible link-hygiene and want to encode GOBS of information into the link (I guess so they don't have to track potential victims in their own database).

It still would not guard against mybank.com being spoofed by my-bank.com, but at some point I suppose the email client must hand off responsibility to the web browser to not suggest login credentials across domains (or maybe do away with passwords entirely).
