I imagine in a situation like this the university (may/would) stand behind them. And, you know, Facebook really picked a target given NYU is a top five US law school.

I legitimately don't understand how Facebook has any grounds to C&D this application. Its a Terms and Conditions violation. Ok, I get that. But, at what point did the developers of this application ever agree to any terms and condi

Could there be political motivations in politics? I'd expect so. The issue with doing anything during an election is that people on the other side accuse the administration of suspicious timing. The issue with doing nothing during an e

'malloc' gives you a pointer to a fixed length block of memory that you can use to store data. 'ls' lists files in a directory. That's totally different, functionality wise. 'malloc' gives you a pointer to

Few things I noticed: - That stand is a crazy piece of unnecessary engineering just to make the customer's life a wee little bit easier. Very cool. - Removable side-panels. This was strongly theorized from previous leaks, but I think t

Its going to be painful. They're going to split up the companies along the wrong lines. The products these companies produce are going to suffer tremendously. It still needs to be done.

Modern high end TVs, such as those from Samsung, intercept all video coming from every HDMI port and use content recognition on it for ad targeting. Granted: never put it online, and never use the smart stuff bundled with it, and you should

This issue is incredibly strange and severe. One thing I did notice, though: The timestamps on the Twitter DMs, which were used as evidence to assert that they're unresponsive in DMs, cover a time period of 90 minutes. The language the

I have not noticed this in GUI applications, which generally have some overhead anyway so the snap overhead is negligible. I have noticed it on simple CLI applications, such as jq, where the snap is often 10x+ worse than native (but, we

It can dynamically link within the container, but as far as I know the container as a whole does not dynamically link with the outside world. Its effectively a chroot with a full system image inside that root filesystem. And that's wha

Snap does have some wild issues that appear to stem from its sandboxing. For me: I have discord and spotify installed via snap, with standard (not classic) confinement, and have had zero issues whatsoever with them. I also use VSCode and Da

I have an old (like 2015, not that old) Vizio TV with a built-in Chromecast, which was always handy. Saves me a couple bucks and an HDMI port. The "home screen" of the TV (where it goes when you turn it on) was always the chromeca

First, you have people who are "real" gamers. Whatever that means, but we'll define it as owning some piece of hardware that was bought for the purpose of gaming (PS4, Xbox, Switch, PC). This number is between 250-500 million

Well, as others have said: Hitting exactly 80% is pretty much impossible. And we've established that hitting more than 80% produces languages that are often bad, in some way or another. So, logically it follows: aim for less than 80%.
