This should be a link to LinkedIn post, but it is deleted along with Medium post. It was 112 not 86 if that makes it better. Or maybe 112 is second attempt after realizing what first result means.

I cannot post a screenshot, but you can see some cached info if you search for ″Ricardo Gabriel David IQ test″ in Bing (Bing shows an image for Medium article).

Spam filters don’t and should not have some global default whitelists that bypass all protection. One simple reason would be that someone’s account is compromised and it sends out malicious mail.

I have seen Microsoft Defender spam filter detecting legitimate Microsoft mails as spam. It’s just how spam filters work, there always can be false positives.

Google Maps are pretty barebones, but at the same time reliable for general / basic use. Depends on region, but OSM usually will be more detailed. It is also possible your region has some local provider that is even better.

Google Maps in my region excel only for navigation quality for cars and search for commercial stuff (businesses and shops)

In OSM ″Gulf of America″ is added under official_name:en-US tag so if any app uses this tag to display names, it will show up.

Here is the link to OSM object for Gulf of Mexico. And here is a thread that discusses naming.

Any country/language can call any object as they want. This change of course was dumb and petty and doubt it will be adopted by other regions, but this is nothing new or special. Google Maps currently show ″Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)″ for me. When checking in another language it shows same naming standard.

This might sound easy, but is actually extremely hard

I don’t think this impossible contraption sounds simple.

Never realized there are so many rules for divisibility. This post fits in this category:

Forming an alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left gives a multiple of 7

299,999 would be 999 - 299 = 700 which is divisible by 7. And if we simply swap grouped digits to 999,299, it is also divisible by 7 since 299 - 999 = -700.

And as for 13:

Form the alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left. The result must be divisible by 13

So we have 999 - 999 + 299 = 299.

You can continue with other rules so we can then take this

Add 4 times the last digit to the rest. The result must be divisible by 13.

So for 299 it’s 29 + 9 * 4 = 65 which divides by 13. Pretty cool.

Check out WhoSampled. It’s the largest resource regarding samples/covers.

Thanks for clarification and great that this is not included in project, but couldn’t someone change the server side code and somehow see more info that goes through?

I know there is that HTML check in https://searx.space/ to see if search interface code is not heavily modified, but on server side anything could go on.

If requests are encrypted in a way that searxng does not see contents then it probably is not trivial to do, but there always is a possibility something clever could be done.

Aren’t all search queries available to whoever hosts an instance? In my eyes this is much worse to privacy and a much bigger risk unless you really know who is behind your chosen instance. I would trust some a company a bit more with safeguarding this information so it does not leak to some random guy.

Any reason why Firefox is not under Browser section?

I would personally also add original KeePass, Notepad++ and ShareX (Maybe also Greenshot). These are Windows only, but great pieces of software.

It was clearly a joke, I agreed with your comment :)

Some people think there is this magical thing called canon. If something is canon and you heavily dislike it, it messes up your enjoyment for whole franchise and you no longer can enjoy previous entries that you grew up with.

I didn’t like it. You want to tell me that my opinion differs from majority and most people like this trash? Preposterous.

Soft bricked VS Hard bricked. Agree that it would be nicer to be more precise in headline, but both are technically under Bricked category.

Regarding TOTP tokens, some time ago switched to Aegis app which allows token export in JSON which I store in Dropbox. I believe only thing that I would lose would be last photos that I have not backed up yet. And past Signal conversations which sometimes come useful.

But for regular folks losing access to phone indeed seems like nightmare scenario for 2FA. I think MS Authenticatior backed tokens to your OneDrive if you enabled it in settings. Often these less secure options are good tradeoff for usability.

Practically all my previous phones were either lost or stolen so it will be inevitable some day. Almost lost my current one year ago due to being drunk, luckily got it back.

You are not supposed to interact with Help!

Just kidding and not American. If saying ″thanks″ for things like those would yield similar reaction, I would be confused as well. Seems so intuitive to say it.

Have never thought about it before, but while I am right handed I always hold knife in my left hand and eat with right hand. Cutting prepared food with non-dominant hand never felt like a huge task since what you usually cut is easy to cut, it’s not like you are trying to cut a thin slice from huge piece of beef.

Yep, they are called news agencies.

Doubt it, because we have ″Microsoft Government″

Same setup here. Will check what’s the state with new Locus version, maybe it finally has something that will win me over. I do not mind it being subscription too much, makes sense for continuous development, depends how much it is though.

Could it be due to data quality?

I personally use specialized local app for public transportation that gets data directly from public transport provider (their official app is lacking), check if you have one in your region. Routes and timetables are always correct this way.
