  • Is private age verification technically possible and if so how?

    Jump

  • This is the way. I think this is what Apple is finally implementing, but since they took too long to do so, governments have been passing laws which require privacy invasive measures that fill the void. Hard to say if that will reverse itself now that there's a whole age-verification industry that popped up. Actually it's unclear to me if the age-verification industry manufactured a problem to push their solution?

    Had Apple implemented this in their Parental Controls setting, it would have avoided the government intervention and shady age-verification companies from popping up.

  • I just found a security breach that can leak thousands of emails on a website!!

  • In addition to letting the website owner know about the issue, I would reach out to Troy Hunt with your evidence, so the data can be loaded into Have I Been Pwned and the affected people notified.

  • 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips

    Jump

  • That seems like a broad generalization, and for specialized software that requires newer hardware, you'd expect to find the rate of bitflips crashes much lower than 10%. You could argue that since Firefox is supported on older operating systems, longer than the support lifetime of the OS ^[https://www.theverge.com/tech/880781/mozilla-is-dropping-firefox-support-for-windows-7-and-8], it's likely Firefox is being used specifically to get the last bit of life out of the hardware before it gets trashed.

  • I'm pretty sure it's him from the meeting with Zelensky in the White House that was really bad, and Rubio was pretty silent during while Trump and Vance were criticizing Zelensky

  • If he's still alive in 2028, they'll have Donald Trump Jr on the ballot, but still have rallies with him like they do now, and it will be obvious that Jr's dad is still pulling the strings to continue the grift

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Fringe is worth it for the White Tulip episode alone. For me that was when the series changed from a monster of the week series to actual art.

  • One I dont see mentioned often is Dark Matter which I think is pretty underrated.

  • BC Gov News- British Columbia is moving to permanent Daylight time

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've had my share of timezone madness, but usually anytime timezones are involved, the DST doesn't cause too much more extra work (except for potentially creating invalid times in the spring you have to handle).

    It's been a while, but i worked on something similar long ago, and the way we did it was in the user's profile, store the TZ identifier, so for example Europe/Berlin. We had alerts for users stored in an alerts table, and there was a column for "last sent" and "next scheduled". Everytime an alert was sent, it would check the user's profile and use the TZ info to generate the UTC time that the next email should go out and update "next scheduled" field with the UTC value. Granted the options for the schedule were fairly limited (every hour, every day, every month), but it worked pretty flawlessly from what I recall.

  • BC Gov News- British Columbia is moving to permanent Daylight time

    Jump

  • Yes, I'm familiar with the Tom Scott video, but even he says at the end to store data in UTC and use a library like tzdata for rendering, don't do it yourself. I was more curious about what day to day issues were happening because of DST, since that seems like bad implementation, and not an impossible problem that would be causing half of all IT issues.

  • What sorts of issues? It's been common for decades to store time in UTC, and render local time on the client side.
