Yeah, honestly amazed that somebody would straight faced make the argument that not taking time off to raise your children in order to spend more time at work (which is a perfectly fine choice, I'm not arguing it's not!) is someho

"Carbon neutrality" isn't about preserving known reserves of fossil fuels. It's about net-zero emissions by balancing new carbon emissions with carbon reductions or sequestrations. Regardless, burning a tree is only carb

How is that carbon neutral? Aren't you taking carbon that was otherwise sequestered and burning it?

Eh, that's a pretty simplistic assessment. It wasn't the ability to say you were married that was under contention, as I understand it. It was whether homosexual couples should be conferred all the same privileges as heterosexual

And to be honest, in the list of things that the C++ folks seems to think is important, multi-index index operators seems like it would rank substantially higher than a lot of the other things in the list in terms of value, and a lot lower

If I give the maid a key to the house, there's always an attack vector, but that doesn't mean I just go hire some rando off craiglist. There are a number of factors that could be considered when giving somebody this kind of respon

Nobody's saying you should never accept a patch from an unknown person. "Of course, if you just give someone commit rights, then you can't." is the whole point!

Seriously, I don't get how the others in this thread don't get this. Nobody's talking about the legalese of the license - he's undermined his _own_ credibility, which is all that really matters in open source. If he&#x27

The reasonable answer is that he should absolutely not have handed over publish capabilities to a completely unknown third-party. This seems obvious to me.

I'd actually lean towards it being the opposite - put the thing that people and organizations would be inclined to block on a separate domain so that the core business domain isn't blocked. EDIT: Seems like there are a lot *.micro

Discounting the sensitive data issue (I don't know what keeping that confidential is worth to you), a few hundred bucks for what I presume is a good chance at a 1000x up-side doesn't seem like much of a gamble to me.

Make may be simple, but most real world uses of Make I've seen are NOT simple. The primary benefit of CMake is it imposes a modicum more consistency on the build system. I'll admit CMake still has this problem, though, due to how

This paper is important. It doesn't point out anything that you shouldn't already know if you're an experienced systems programmer, but may be a good reminder that WebAssembly's sandbox isn't the last word on securi

Heh, was just bemoaning this two days ago. Glad I can use them now.

The easiest and cheapest answer is the status-quo, which is ambiguity on whether you're compliant with GDPR, so it's completely logical they would just block access.

Yep. They actually made it MUCH easier to change your default audio source in Windows 10 (not sure which particular release this change came in).

Yeah, not sure I understand the criticism here. This program also has a bug. fn main() { let a = 3; assert(a == 2, "a should definitely be 2"); } Rust doesn't mean no bugs ever, and it doesn't mean n
