> If you know I've reported a bug, why would you deliberately not tell me that it has been fixed? Sounds like a typical fallacy of end-users looking at software. Assuming that the developer deliberately is denying you a feature, rat

I wonder if this is the only case where the name/first name of the contact is exactly the same as the recipient's address.

Not technical, but I thought it was interesting that it tags files with a record of every computer they have been on, even if it was not accessed. Or that privileged access is only really available to the government, and the operating syste

uhm, you do realize South Arabian alphabet was last in active use more than a thousand years ago. It now bears no resemblance to modern Arabic type. At all. I'm reading your argument as suggesting that over a quarter billion Arabic nat

not the gp, but I think the parent commenter means that most technological advances of the last century took place in the West and thus suffers Euro/Western-centrism. A thousand years ago, when the Islamic caliphate was a center of sci

Not arguing against a calculation. Just the fact that any result should be seen as a first step in a longer series of questions.

The challenge with doing the math is the mount of unpredictable aspects of a UBI. We are not good at predicting human behaviors. What happens for those who are struggling to survive when they have enough money for a decent living? Will they

Right. I was just asking for confirmation so that I don't argue past the grandparent poster. I also feel like a lot of people take that stance because they feel that those on the opposing side are claiming that it is only because o

I'm not sure I follow. Yes, absolutely, Whites are subject to economic problems too-- not just persons of color. Are you questioning whether a racial divide exists at all in America, where non-whites are subject to unique limitations t

The subtitle was cringe-worthy: > Women, gays, and immigrants form a new majority at the top. What? Looking at the union of all women, all people of color, and all LGBT people, and saying that this group forms a "majority" (non

My understanding from reading the many blog posts and some of the GitHub repo discussions: .NET Core is the refactored .NET libraries which are used by many projects, one of which is .NET Native. The cross platform work is also only in .NET
164.
by Eyas 11y ago
.NET Native is compiled C#. You can think of it as pre-JITted platform -dependent C#. It is still managed, imposing memory safety through runtime bound checks (unless optimized out) and garbage collection. The project is preparing to be ope

AFAIK, a number of these companies don't even ask for a cover letter as part of the internship application process.

The main difference between Genius-style annotation and code comments, which I think is important to note (and valuable) is that code comments annotate a point or position in the source, while genius annotations are referring to a span

Agreed. What the poster doesn't seem to realize in the analysis on multiple device users is that the use case is not only about using multiple devices concurrently, but transferring from one device to another.

Right, the practices are 'harmful' in an HTTP/2 world, meaning, in that world, these practices harm you rather than help you. You are correct in assuming that your site and its resources would still load faster in HTTP/2

What I still don't understand in this picture is the what does the future look like in terms of the .NET framework . .NET Core sounds great, and its great that they are unifying the implementation, not just the API, for many of the

My understanding is fork = fork + rename. An actual fork did take place, the older branch will continue to be maintained for a separate browser process used by enterprises for compatibility.

Insiders have reported on this previously. Basically the "new" rendering engine is a fork of Trident which removes backwards compatibility and legacy code. They might call it something else, but the new engine is basically Trident

The vulnerability seems to be present in Windows 95 (and equivalent Windows Server), as well as IE 3.0+. So yeah.. quite a big deal.

Any idea what's the legal status of getting paid royalties as someone on an H1-B or F1 visa? Dividends and investments are usually acceptable secondary sources of income. I'm not sure where royalties lie, I'm guessing it&#x27

The release notes here ( https://github.com/OneGet/oneget/blob/master/release-notes.m... ) show a few mentions of defining and getting dependencies. I'm going to guess the answer is 'yes'.

The analogy very well might be imperfect. It doesn't seem like this particular distinction is all too valid though.

Which is awesome, but highlights another problem: even if MS inserted a special character between "Windows" and "9", it needs to count on all intermediate libraries/platforms to do the same. What I mean is, for a us

right, well-written apps should ask for version number, which would be 6.x. The question is how to handle the wealth of poorly written apps out there? Especially keeping in mind that poorly written != useless/bad, at least not always.
