With Windows 11.

In 10 and prior you could even move it to other monitors, just by dragging and dropping it. It's baffling they thought that functionality was a bug that people wanted 'fixed'.

I used that for a time, but it's licensing made me move to WindHawk.

More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

I wonder if this will include being able to put it on the non-primary display once again. It's not mentioned, but that was one of the biggest frustrations with Windows 11. It seems their focus is exclusively on single display devices.

It also ruined my flow for my flight sim until I found a workaround. The fullscreen window wishes to launch to the primary display, which means losing the useful bits of the taskbar.

I love what they're saying, but my faith in them is very, very is low.

It's like crack, but for being able to be a little derogatory to the masses.

Certainly not as unhealthy as crack.

I do not argue that civilian members of Hezbollah as a political movement are unacceptable targets, I simply acknowledge that perspective exists.

And the location of the target is entirely the point when the alternative to the pager attack is a JDAM, an attack with greater collateral damage, but still a valid target. Imagine instead of an explosive charge, these pagers were somehow phoning home and providing location data that Israel could use to perform airstrikes. Based on that intel, those air strikes would be entirely legitimate, and they would include far more collateral damage than the charge in the pager.

An attack on the water supply is indiscriminate. A water supply poisoning makes no attempt at differentiating between the targets and the civilian population.

I do not understand this analogy.

A water source the entire population of an area relies upon is in no way the same as a specific, small organization's private means of communication that it distributed to its members.

Or are you under the impression Israel simply loaded a Lebanese RadioShack with explosive pagers and hoped Hezbollah would be the ones buying them? You could argue that it was not discriminate because there were pagers distributed to civilian Hezbollah members, who may not have been valid targets, but that is not the same argument.

Every bit of reporting on it tries heart-string tugging, just to quietly reveal one of the unintended targets picked up the pager to bring it to a Hezbollah member father, uncle, or brother.

His claim there did not necessarily imply rigged explosives, but supply chain attacks either for surveillance or assassination purposes.

And his limiting it to "virtually every potential theater" would suggest that it's mostly present in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, most likely Iraq as well.

But let's be honest here, this isn't civilian equipment that's been compromised. It's supply chain attacks where the buyer is manipulated into buying goods that they've tampered with, or re-engineered. They weren't pagers anyone could pick up at Radio Shack. (Everyone who got hit was a target, or a direct relative of a target.)

No.

They weren't flagged because they went into Lebanon which has very little import security, and because it was a supply chain attack.

The batteries were swapped for a combination battery / explosive charge. The follow-up attack where Hezbollah moved to using walkie-talkies that were also rigged to explode was the real shocker, though.

I have to disagree.

Canada loses a lot of its top talent every year to the US, mostly because of the TN visa. Canadian talent leaves Canada every year, and less investment is not going to help.

This is made worse by Canadian investment culture being very conservative, and not loving startups in general.

Cloudflare is right. But, it's a pretty typical EU play. Protecting more established interests but kneecapping progress.

In this case, hitting a massive number of small sites, which aren't engaged in piracy, to protect a few large entities from some other small piracy sites. It's what's happening in both Italy and Spain.

I don't even think that case was from Cloudflare hosting, just providing DDOS protection.

And it wasn't a Spanish government policy, but rather a single judge's order.

Apologies for the PDF link. The opinion is amusing, and has some benefits. If it's appealed and this decisions is upheld, the blast zone around the CFAA will be diminished.

The key point is rather simple.

In doing so, we hold for the first time that, (a) by its text and purpose, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030, does not turn these workplace-policy infractions into federal crimes, and (b) passwords that protect proprietary business information are not themselves trade secrets under federal or Pennsylvania law.

Footnote 2 is also amusing: "To the dismay of IT professionals everywhere, the document was titled "My Passwords.xlsx." App. 2770"

There are many people who die every year going into tunnels without knowing if the air is safe to breathe where they're exploring.

Do you think they'd be worried about radiation?

Even small amounts over time (re: decades) will have adverse effects.

If the adverse effects happen decades after you'll statistically be deceased I'm not sure it's fair to say there's no safe level of exposure.

It's not at the expense of consumers and the environment. It could make much of what consumers buy prohibitively expensive, for potentially no benefit.

The pair of animations on the page are beautifully done, not just technically but aesthetically as well. If the rest of the book is like that I'll be getting a copy.

Prior to expiry would suggest the encryption is broken from the start.

Although I do disagree on the reasonable/unreasonable angle, because I don't tend to analogize the contents of your phone to the contents of your safe, but rather to the contents of your mind.

Where that is illegal they don't go making CNC machines illegal because of that.

The arguments are mostly that they dislike what can be accomplished via math. “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia” isn't exactly an 'argument' so much as an insistence.

The article does address the flaws in some of their arguments (encryption inconveniences law enforcement, think of the children) by pointing out that the average person and children are kept save from criminal elements by encryption.

I'm actually very much in agreement with that point.

The world is what it is. A factual observation is just that! But I think it would be better said that while practicing mechanics one should not be trying to practice virtue.

A moral position will push out a factually accurate one if you aren't willing to ignore your views when assessing something.

Proportionate in war is not about going tit-for-tat.

The principle of proportionality prohibits attacks against military objectives which are “expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated”.

The way it's worded is to prevent destroying civilian targets for no military gain.

They also own Pandora.

The DNC doesn't run the individual state primaries.

Just so we're clear here: the results are on paper. This app was meant to simply coalesces the results to have them in faster.

And some security testing and analysis also wouldn't have prevented this problem, unless it was done at huge scale.

Not a great strategy against people reading books or the newspaper. Two things that are pretty easy to get used to.

It's artificially cheap because the consequences of air pollution isn't priced into coal. It really, really ought to be. [1]

There are other drivers on the road though. Not all traffic deaths are single driver incidents. If someone blows through a red light as you're turning, your reaction time can be shockingly irrelevant.

What does the s=20 do?

Seems to be tacked on by Twitter to track the source of shares. Pretty sure the number changes by device.

This is an absurd comparison. Turkey shot down a regional adversary's plane that violated their airspace. Obama didn't rebuke them for it because what Russia was doing there was supporting a regime he wanted gone.

Trump basically said he didn't rebuke the Saudis for it because they were negotiating a large sale of weapons. A cold blooded murder of a journalist due to what he said is completely different than shooting down an aircraft over your airspace after signaling that you'll do so and warning them to leave.

I like this. A large description of what's changed does a load of good.

What kills me is when using pull requests, putting a complete description into the pull request... and then finding my commits not squashed after my PR is approved.

Got to agree here. The idea of a company not providing decent hardware and chairs says a lot. It's a couple thousand per employee at most, for an easy gain in employee satisfaction.

Trips are pretty silly though.
