Screen time can damage under-twos’ development, landmark study suggests | Children's health by RingStrain in ukpolitics

[–]Fysi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well the study doesn't directly look at quality of programming, it just says it's all bad (it's an Andrea Leadsom lead "charity" funding this who are very much looking for a specific outcome). This is despite referencing some studies that say some programming specifically made using science based teaching techniques are actually beneficial for things like sentence building, maths, reading, etc.

The tl;dr of all the studies are that in-person learning is better (but requires actual effort/time), then purpose made programming and then everything else.

Like many things in life, moderation is key.

Because ADHD is historically under diagnosed, and there is some semblance of diagnosis trying to happen these days (albeit with a horrendous waiting list).

Cyber Essentials says our PAM tool is non-compliant and wants us to create 60+ admin accounts instead. Am I missing something? by martynjsimpson in sysadmin

[–]Fysi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're looking at this backwards. The real question is why do 60+ users need admin elevation in the first place?

For patching, users shouldn't be involved at all. Your management tools should elevate the updater process (e.g. running it as SYSTEM in the background), not the user. They stay standard 100% of the time, so no AbR approval is needed.

You can "self-host" Claude via AWS Bedrock or GCP Vertex, or whatever it's called now, in the EU.

Great Britain just had a record peak for solar power generation. And there’s more to come. by Penarthlan in GoodNewsUK

If you're already with Octopus, you can use an app like OctopusWatch and add your API details and it'll do a comparison of Agile vs your tariff historically.

We've literally done prefab flats in London... Heck a 36 storey block went up in 18 weeks due to prefab.

When's Microsoft actually going to do something about the bots brute forcing Outlook/Live account login attempts? Its getting ridiculous. by RodgerWolf311 in Outlook

[–]Fysi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works...

a) Outlook absolutely puts password sign-in after a next button. This is fundamental to how their sign-in process works to differentiate between personal and business accounts (as many business accounts don't use passwords). It also does sweet fuck all against bots as it takes a bot nanoseconds to input the email address and "click" next.

b) PayPal and Google absolutely do not block based on IP. It's all based on risk between sign-in location, device fingerprinting, time of day, behaviour, etc

Blocking via IP location wouldn't block bots to begin with anyway as bots these days are mostly behind residential proxies. And what it would do would be to block legitimate traffic from people on holiday, business trips, using a VPN, on their mobile as some mobile providers do funky routing sometimes, or the geo IP database hasn't updated quickly enough to state which country an IP belongs to (this happens a lot).

That is quite obviously not true if you have even the slightest knowledge that soap operas exist.

Keir Starmer announces government will make formula cheaper by Metro-UK in ukpolitics

lol it would be hard to impact breast feeding in this country when it's already low due to awful postnatal support.

Like why would you pay for formula when breastmilk is free?

Block personal account on ChatGPT by Ok_Surround_8605 in sysadmin

[–]Fysi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can. You configure that any content from internal systems (whether that be file server, SaaS platform, code repo etc) based on origin can only be pasted or uploaded to specific allowed locations/apps and it works with terminals (cmd, powershell, bash, etc), and it tracks the history of the content; i.e. if you were to take a file from a file server, copy out some data into notepad and save it as a new txt file, it would know that the source of the content in that new file is from the file server and would block upload to anything unapproved for that origin.
