Charles Proxy 7 months ago

The original thing is now called Fiddler Classic and it is still Windows only. Not maintained anymore, sadly. It has first class scripting support.

For macOS settled on Charles back then but not as capable as Fiddler.

I feel obliged to mention Fiddler. The tool I loved almost 20 years back and felt like it came from future. IIRC it was/is more powerful than Charles. Fiddler was Windows only but at one time they had builds for other platforms in works. Sadly they got acquired which changed their roadmap, and I had also moved on from Windows.

I have the same router. It is great when it works, but goes out often. One trick that has helped a lot is to set it on auto reboot. I have set mine to 4 am every morning and it has been doing great for months now. It is a compromise, but I hardly notice the issue now.

There is another sort of worst case (company's perspective): An employee thinks they need to rebuild their house and needs to do it all by hand, hence will be on leave for the next six months. Or, say, wants to explore Europe backpacking and hence needs break for the next two months.

With unlimited PTO the biggest challenge is to define (both ways) what qualifies for a good reason to go on a leave.

I have enjoyed unlimited PTO wherever I had. But I tried to have my own benchmark of about four weeks in a year. Of course, there have been times when I needed more, and it was fine. There have been times when I didn't need four weeks either, and I was okay with that too!

Exactly the point I am making. You can do the analysis and determine the scale but you can't change the official COVID numbers.

In fact, that is even the link you shared shows. It compared the overall death rate with the official COVID numbers and proved the numbers are conservative, in US. Of course.

Unfortunately, it is hard to get those numbers correctly. COVID patients die because of multiple organ failure and unless the deceased was already tested and verified for it, you can't attribute the death to COVID officially. A lot of people pass away without showing visible symptoms or without realizing they need immediate medical attention for COVID.

It would be good to have that attribution and that will require testing the deceased, but given the load on the system, everybody can extrapolate the scale and act accordingly.

Great initiative! As someone who has worked on Auth systems multiple times, I can so much relate to it. In fact, at one of the jobs I created something quite generic (SSO by SSO, multiple token types, multiple interfaces (including OAuth), multiple password backends, email domain specific verification methods, etc. Wanted to open source it, but then given it was related to security and we were not really a security company, we let go of that plan.

All the best to you and your team!

Policy change will continue to happen. And they happen because someone is rooting for them. You can't penalize a Industrialist for being an Industrialist. They are wealth generators and are doing that for a large number of people and not themselves alone (you can argue by how much).

BTW, Farmers have enjoyed their share of handouts which are more or less treated as entitlement now a days: 1. Tax free income 2. Subsidies, lona waivers, electricity bill waivers 3. Minimum Support Price for the longest time

Anger can be real, but don't know if it is informed and rational. All I hear is that it is bad, but not able to find information how. Most of the protestors don't even know the details of what is being changed.

And, frankly, at this stage if you think somebody like Modi or Rahul Gandhi or Kejriwal is about helping their friends make quick buck, the story doesn't add up. In their position they would think and act for legacy and it becomes much more a capability issue instead of intent.

Red cloth is commonly used in Pooja, and you put Red tika (and rice grains) on forhead. Brides traditionally wear predominantly red clothes for certain ceremonies during wedding. Red, Yellow/Amber, and White are quite common during rituals in North. Are they not in South India?

I don't know how much you know about payments in India, but they are, from what I have heard, fairly evolved and advance.

In fact, in India there are 4 different ways in which you can do online transfers across the banks (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI). The latest iteration, UPI, is indeed state-of-art. It lets even companies like Amazon, Google, and PhonePe, which are not traditionally banks, to offer ability for people to do transfers from their Bank account. QR Code for UPI apps are very commonplace at least in metros and it enables nano transactions without really a fee to small merchants and users. There are lot of fail safe mechanisms and safety features built into the protocol and a user is not really hostage to the bank or the payment app as you can switch both at your will.

Apple is not alone there. A lot of people don't realize, but Windows is (or at least for the longest time, was) in the same boat. You need to have a Windows machine to build Windows app.

I believe, but I might be wrong, a similar thing applies to a large number of Linux systems especially if you wish to build GUI apps.

P.S. Windows even used to require a paid version of their IDE Visual Studio for the longest time and a hefty subscription fee for MSDN. And, don't forget the concept of "Developer License" for things like SQL server.

You created a Side Project but used your company's email ID to share it with your teammate at work.

Does that side project belong to you or to your company? If it belonged to you, why would you use office email ID for collaborating on it? and if it belonged to the company, why would you manage it on a personal Trello account?

Sorry to sound harsh, but unless I am missing something, to begin with, looks bad judgement on your part.

Seems like unpopular opinion given comments on this thread, but here it is anyway.

Using my employer's email addresses for services I want to control doesn't sound right. Of course, LinkedIn is a different story but for SaaS platforms like Trello, my employer should be the rightful owner of the data I store in there if I used it for work.

Imagine the other scenario, if that Trello account's control didn't move to the employer, the employee would still be keeping the content he created FOR the employer long after his employment has ended. I don't think that is cool.

Your data is your data, likewise, your employer's data is theirs. If you don't want any hassle, keep these two lives different.

Having worked in lot of languages (most recently — Go), I can say PHP by far is the best to get the job done especially when it comes to web related stuff.

PHP let's you be what you want to be. If you are an architect with years of experience building a suite of microservices where you would want to use lot of bells and whistles, testing, dependency management, etc. do it. If you are a novice programmer looking to create your wedding website and have a simple contact form, do that as well!

Best part, each request is a clean start and independent.

It is not a bug with Google but instead a problem with "B" as they choose to ignore the "aud" part of the token.

You can't say password based authentication is bad because some developers choose to store password in plain text. The blame squarely lies with the developer.

People implementing auth without willing to go a little deeper may hurt themselves.
