If you go to the website you can mark it as spam. Then all occurrences of events from the same sender will be deleted. However there's nothing to stop spammers from sending multiple separate events from "different" senders...

What I find hilarious about that debate with the bishop is that they apparently missed the first five minutes or so of the film and didn't understand that Brian wasn't in fact Jesus. What made it more funny is that this should hav

I think it's more important to say that in most newspapers there is a firewall between journalists and the marketing department. So marketing decisions are, by design, completely separate from the journalism. Upper management can inter

In this case I'd quibble that it wouldn't need to guarantee a specific algorithm, just a minimal set of properties. If the user can't manually set the seed then they'll be no expectation that it's deterministic or f

But the std hashmap implementation[0] already depends on a PRNG via the rand crate[1], and thus OS random (for the initial seed). So it's in the standard library even if you can't use it directly. Which is what makes me think this

I would like getrandom[0] to be in the standard library. It simply abstracts over the platform random and is even used by the standard library itself. [0]: https://crates.io/crates/getrandom

As far as I'm aware, Steam makes its own folder writeable by everybody. Besides, you should get an error instead of the UAC if you're running as a non-admin account. But yes, separate hardware is safer.

Unless I've misunderstood you, that would appear to be a different issue. The size of Rust platform tools doesn't necessarily lead to longer build times or bloat for applications built with Rust. And IMHO your issue does appear to

Just a reminder: you can disable the Steam service and still play your games. Some Steam features will be disabled or broken but whether or not this affects you will obviously vary depending on which ones you like to use.

Disable the Steam service. Run Steam only on a separate user session with limited rights (no admin and no access to your files). So essentially you'd have to manually switch user, via the login screen, to play your games.

Yes, that's still an IE11 window in an Edge skin. And that blog post specifically calls out "seamless enterprise compatibility" as being the reason for it.

by ChrisSD 7y ago
Use of IE11 is largely tied in to Enterprise applications. Whatever happens to Edge it won't make IE11 die any sooner.

Wait but that's literally what the auto complete feature does. Most users understand the value of the feature (they use it!) but there's a good reason to spell out the cost too. I agree with the criticism that they should draw a

Well yes and on Windows they are a sequence of 16bit values, not utf-16. My point was the encoding of filenames differ. So you can't do a byte-for-byte copy and expect the same results across platforms. As an aside, it'd be perfec
795.
by ChrisSD 7y ago
The problem, as I understand it, was filenames were read and written as bytes. That's fine if everybody is on the same platform but it doesn't always work when moving between, for example, Linux (UTF-8) and Windows (UTF-16). I don

And what about the issue tracker? Issues and discussions of pull requests would be lost by merely moving the code.

But they were both released at around the same time. Or at least near enough that they were both serious contenders for awhile.

Because that's literally the complaint as given. If the UI had reacted "instantly" it would be more user friendly. Even if the performance of the (non UI) code was slower. EDIT: Or to put it another way: "perceived perfo

It was at one time a holy war. Spaces won. I used to be strongly pro-space so I was happy. However, with time and much reflection I've soften my stance considerably. In any case, improvements with code editors have helped a lot to pape

You can on Github but it requires using `?ts=4` in the url or committing an editorconfig file. Perhaps there are extensions that do it automatically.

Sure but I thought they signed unlisted addons using a quick automatic test? Sorry it's been awhile so I might be behind the time.
