Do you have a source for your claim that code examples with Alice and Bob with she/he pronouns are not accepted on Stack Exchange? I haven't seen any claim like that before.

On a mod and employee chat group, they were discussing a new future code of conduct. One element said "You must use people's preferred pronouns if given". A mod (volunteer) (Monica) said "Is it OK if I never use any 3rd

Your interpretation is likely right. But it's interesting to consider the other. Maybe they can get metadata from the ciphertext, such as size. Or maybe they are just interested in other metadata such as time. Or maybe they have some c

So it has 1 second of startup cost? I have a hard time believing uBlock would add that much time to every request. Ideally this would make a more realistic measurement that doesn't include startup cost. Or maybe it's just random v

Just because a developer doesn't intentionally put in code to block racism doesn't mean the developer is biased.

>> “Garbage in, garbage out,” software engineers say. Likewise, racism in, racism out. Biased developers produce biased code. Every sentence individually is true. And Tay was a case of garbage in garbage out. But the Tay case didn&#x2

It sounds like early on the US government said it was inconclusive in order to not offend South Africa and Israel. But more recently, people have been saying it was a nuclear test. > A December 2016 report by William Burr and Avner Cohen

Vulnerabilities can be used to cause crashes. In fact, generally a memory safety vulnerability will initially manifest itself as a crash before a more advanced targeted exploit can be used against it.

Sounds very similar to Robert Kennedy Jr.'s intense political anti-vax campaign. He's widely criticized in the media for it (same as Arthur Conan Doyle) but believes he's doing the right thing and will be proved right in the

I still don't understand why you would prefer if Brave was based on Firefox instead of Chrome. One of your comments sounds like you're worried about Brave inserting tracking. Brave could do that regardless of what it's based

Hmm, I think part of that has already been implemented by certificate transparency. But the reason it didn't block this attack is that CT is only enforced against public CAs, not custom installed CAs. The reason it's not enforced

From the language standpoint, the inline specifier doesn't force the compiler to inline the function. But I guess some compilers could provide guarantees that go beyond what the spec says.

While specifying inline alone is useless for optimization, the inline specifier is important for another type of optimization: putting a function in a header file. If you put a function in a header file and don't mark it inline, that t
