For all of us that don't read all documentation for every single method, tool, function or similar, it is, by awarenes, very useful.


> But does it really matter?

I am pretty sure - if his theories works - it would be really good for accumulating even more capital for the shareholders.

And I am also pretty sure it, at least for me, will not matter at all, and it will be really bad for everyone else involved.


AND you can disable the ANSI control code:

```

To force plain text, which disables colors:

$ curl wttr.in/?T

```


Maybe the point is for the people who already have it and want to avoid being locked in on proprietary ecosystem.


> but most people seem to have giant trucks for the occasional times they go camping or carry something large.

This is the reality in United States, but not in most of the world.


Sadly though, other countries are trending the same way.


Pharaoh predates it for some thousand years.


Where is that title still being used?


Probably the same places 'Pontifex Maximus' is still in use.


"Pontifex Maximus" was originally the high priest of Jupiter in Rome, dating all the way back to the Roman monarchy and before the Roman republic. "Pontifex Maximus" is currently the official title of the pope (in a sense, still the highest priest in Rome). I don't think anybody still has the title "Pharaoh".


For a while the Pharaoh did actually reside in Rome, starting with Caesar Augustus (who was also Pontifex Maximus). Augustus was hailed as a god by both the Roman imperial cult and the pharaonic cult.

Maximinus Daza (the eastern Roman emperor during the Tetrarchy) was the last holder of the title Paraoh, and I think he reigned from Nicomedia, in Anatolia.

It’s funny that Pharaoh died out with the rise of christianity, but Pontifex lived on.

Who's the pharaoh currently residing in the Vatican?

> at someone had posted on Reddit late last night (you know, as one does, instead of sleeping)

After a couple of decades of internet I was expecting people to realize other timezones exists.


The full paragraph is as follows.

> I happened to look at a slide deck from Sandia National Laboratories from 2007 that someone had posted on Reddit late last night (you know, as one does, instead of sleeping), and one particular slide jumped out at me:

The author is making fun of themselves for being up late reading this deck instead of sleeping. They’re not making fun of the person who posted the slide deck.


> Playing devils advocate for a moment: One reason why is that many app developers truly do not have your best interests at heart.

You are right, and neither Apple does.


One could say you shouldn't store the 2FA along with your password.


Not the parent, but I look at it this way…

Something I have: the database file.

Something I know: the master password to that file.

I figure the sprit of the advice is preserved for the most part. (Doesn’t keep me awake at night, anyway.)


But 2FA on a phone had been awkwardly okay. Could be because it's just too silly that adversaries can't take it seriously, but it's been okay.
