But eMudhra wanted to (was required to) export the keys. So using an HSM in the first place is a security theater. Or that this HSM isn't really an HSM since it allows for export of the private key. The trusted enclave…
Even just a human glancing at the private key should do it. Don't they even test script changes on a staging server? How could there be such a script error in production that was not caught in testing/staging? This…
date pickers are something that quickly gets overly complex and site specific. They are only simple when you have no restrictions on which dates that can be selected. But a date picker for a hotel, airplane travel,…
An interesting fact is that China has passed "peak coal" in 2024 while still growing with about 5% in a year. Denmark had peak coal early (2003) due to early investments in wind power. Coal is now practically gone. We…
I think the major reason the Nokia engineers didn't jump ship to Apple/Google is that they did not want to move to another country. The article is written like it assumes the Nokia HQ was next door to Apple/Google.…

Personally I don't think this reduction in size is big enough compared to making all css names unreadable and thus very difficult to debug. It also makes it much more difficult to create personal browser extensions as…
Denmark never denied an approval, so it has no meaningful difference. At one point the US had 17 small bases in Greenland. Almost all have been abandoned by the USA on its own initiative. Look at this map:…
This is a good live map of how Europe is partitioned into zones and what their prices are. Right now you can see a large price difference between Sweden and Denmark and also with Norway. Britain is often suffering high…
Commodore 64 in 1982 cost US$595 ($2,059 today). ZX Spectrum in 1982 cost $200 ($692 today) for 16 KB model and had a 48K model for 40% more. It was the difference between affordable and unaffordable for many people.
Very limited: as soon as you have cleared a notification it is gone forever and old notifications are also gone rather quickly. https://www.lifewire.com/iphone-notification-history-1189516...
I think this comes from the same problem as notifications on iPhones: if you dismiss them accidentally then it is very difficult to find out what it was. It is missing the equivalent of the "history" in e.g. browsers…
I'd really wish I could force ISO format for the date input as the current "platform native" is confusing for some users when the OS use a different language than the web page that is shown. For some multi-country…
PostGIS is also another very useful addition for storing, indexing, and querying geospatial data. http://www.postgis.net
In the old days 25 years ago, x86 hardware was the main source of unreliability. Today x86 hardware is super reliable and unneeded complexity in the software stack is the main source of problems.
Los Angeles has mountains/water on all sides so it can't grow in size. It also utilizes the space extremely inefficiently. Single level single family houses everywhere and the rest is parking space. The few parks are…
precision loss in floating point is often exponential. If 64 bit isn't enough, then very quickly 128 is also not enough. If precision is important then you will very often want systems that represent every number as an…
When looking through all the other commits the user has made: they all lack a good commit message. This is systematic for that user. Either the user needs to improve or let go. The organization needs to learn that good…
One of the most interesting innovations in the Ukraine war is their internal market place for drones, letting each drone group decide which drones they want to procure and use in battle. It is not a top-down decision,…
Supermarkets often have so low margin that building for the 98% of customers means that all of the profit has disappeared. Profit is often at the margin.
The KISS version of regulation would be that stores are not allowed to use the word "buy" when you don't get full ownership and must use the word "license" instead. Also it should be marked clearly that the company can…
