I wonder how long does the system store those notifications

Reminds me what Whatsapp if you set up a 2FA PIN, which forces you to type it about every week to check if you forgot it. So annoying.

Sorry, I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not.

One of the TOTP apps had a periodic test that you still knew the paraphrase. It started frequent and then backed off to like once a month. There’s definitely a benefit even if it’s annoying.


That’s not sarcasm and it doesn’t allow any backup, it literally just to make sure you didn’t forget the PIN. It’s once a week, forever. It’s a good way to make sure people don’t activate 2FA.

> WhatsApp will regularly ask you to enter your PIN as a reminder. As long as you don't reset the PIN, you will get a reminder once a week.


It depends on whether one has it stored in a password manager or not. If stored, there is no benfit. Giving users a choice would be better.

That app was authy by Twilio. Twilio screwed over everyone using that app

In Gemini chat I find that you should avoid continuing a conversation if its answer was wrong or had a big shortcoming. It's better to edit the previous prompt so that it comes up with a better answer in the first place, instead of sending a new message.

The key with gemini is to migrate to a new chat once it makes a single dumb mistake. It's a very strong model, but once it steps in the mud, you'll lose your mind trying to recover it.

Delete the bad response, ask it for a summary or to update [context].md, then start a new instance.


I'm guessing he means actual time physically working, not the theoretical time in the contract.

It really depends on your bubble but a lot of people have "full time" contracts (meaning 40-ish hours) but real hours vary. You can come later, leave earlier, go do something else in the day, and don't have to report it to anyone. Just make sure you're not missing a meeting and deliver what's needed on time. So in practice you end up working fewer hours on average, as long as you can produce enough on average (which honestly isn't hard in many large organisations, and hard to measure).


La Liga is the national soccer organisation, which organizes the championship. They force the ISPs to block Cloudflare during games to block illegal streaming websites. But then it blocks a lot of websites that have nothing to do with it, and there are games fairly often.

Aha, that's a different La Liga situation! Wow, that's wild!

Publishing personal data scrapped from internal (private) sources is also a pretty major reason to take it down

I was a bit annoyed when Somafm got blocked on our corporate proxy

Spotify did this for years in the beginning too. I remember this was the reason I didn’t use them until they proposed email logins.

Most probably it can’t connect to the server without running IT-mandated security software that runs only on Windows

In France it’s 500mL and it’s actually called a pint
