  • Could Canada be the Next Ukraine? Russia is Our Neighbour, Too - [Opinion]

    Jump

  • No, they won't. Russia won't risk going to war with NATO (mentioned in the article). Now if they try the "grey-zone" tactics, who's to say they're not already doing that with Canada and many other countries..

  • "Arduino will retain its independent brand, tools, and mission, [...]"

    That's funny, that's what Microsoft said about Github. Let see how long Qualcomm "allows" Arduino to retain its independence.

    Fiasco SAAQclic : augmenter les frais aux conducteurs pour rembourser le déficit

  • Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store

    Jump

  • Sounds to me like this is a workaround so that Google can maintain control over who gets to release apps now that they can't do it by locking the apps behind Google Play. I wouldn't be surprised if being verified also includes some kind of fee.

    Torvalds warns of ‘chaotic’ merge window for Linux kernel 6.17

  • Is it just me or does that sound exaggerated, clickbaity?

    No, warn is, by definition (see 1.c), an accurate term to use.

  • Evel Knievel movies. Although I did really like the series.

  • How Eurostack could offer Canada a route to digital independence from the United States

    Jump

  • Canada has a lot to offer and to gain from being part of the Eurostack initiative.

    I think The Conversation just wrapped news about Eurostack in Canada wrapping paper to get views.

    Canada can't be a part of Eurostack; its goal is bring everything (tech) in-house. Aside investing capital so Eurostack can hit its lofty 300 billion euro goal in 10 years, I dont see what Canada can offer or gain from this. If the "gain" is that we stop Canadian dependence on US tech, we'd just be swapping one overlord for another.

    Yes, of course we could reduce our dependence on US tech, but Canada should be stealing this page from Europe's playbook and making their own Euro Canstack

    I don't see these people, especially after the context in the video, as reliable sources. I remain skeptical about these calls. Don't get me wrong, PP sucks, but Rachel should have done a little more "fact-checking"

  • Carney limits G7 guests to one assassination each

  • Do you think Carney will allow Germany to trade theirs for draft picks later?

  • How do you implement API Keys?

    Jump

  • If you are looking to do something like Github's Personal Access Tokens (PAT) then it is easiest to just think about it like a password:

    • Create a high entropy (secure) string
    • Store the hash of the string in a database table
    • Store the permissions and other metadata with the PAT's hash
    • Validate the PAT (permissions, revoke status, etc) on each request to the server

    Storing the hash of the token, like you do with passwords, is a good practice in case your db is ever compromised as it wont leave the tokens accessible and reusable without a lot of effort.

  • If any of the languages you know is spoken in more than one region (ex: European vs Brazilian Portuguese), what version of the language do you speak?

    Jump

  • You will speak the version that you learned. You will mostly notice regional differences in the idioms and synonyms of the words you know might be used more commonly in one region vs the other.

    For example, in London you might hear people use boot instead of trunk.

    But the majority of the words will be the same regardless of region.
