While I would like this to be the case, I don't trust Platforma Obywatelska after they said they would vote against EU Copyright Directive ( https://twitter.com/platforma_org/status/1015184834623365120 ) and th

Google doesn't have support even if you pay them (other than for Google Ads, Google Ads has an actually existing support), pretty much that, everything is done by robots which will tell you everything is fine.

Just because a domain may appear to be unused, it doesn't necessarily mean it is unused. For instance, I have a domain I use as a file hosting which I can link to when I want to share something (I used to use Imgur for this purpose bef

A slice of a non-ZST element cannot have `usize::MAX` elements, by definition of `usize`.

I once reported an open redirect attack to GitHub, and they were like, nah, WONTFIX. I believe the issue still exists. That said, how useful is an open redirect attack really?

Don't manually parse those things. If your database provides a way to parse those (like PostgreSQL does), make use of it. Use what your programming language provides, and if it really doesn't provide the functionality to parse IPv

Dropbox Nautilus Extension is open source because it has to be - GNOME Files is licensed under GNU LGPL. The amount of code in that extension is minimal, the proprietary Dropbox client pretty much does all processing, the extension is only

Out of curiosity, what browser do you need to support that doesn't support pointer-events? Internet Explorer 10? No longer supported by the vendor, other than for Windows Server 2012 which likely won't be used by your user. Opera

This is misleading. PHP 5 may have its support by PHP developers end, but it will still be supported by distributions like RHEL, CentOS, Debian 8, and Ubuntu 14.04 where the support doesn't depend on PHP developers.

Interesting attack, but likely impractical. - Iterating over all internal IPv4 addresses to try attacking them isn't that expensive, there are about 16 million IP addresses, and there are likely patterns in their allocation if your goa

Probably something like <img src=" http://google.com/pixel.gif?mailid=23949129"> in a mail. When you download the image, Google knows you have read the mail.

Well, that's mostly because there are almost no ugly parts in Rust. Sure, you can find minor annoyances like those: - Type inference pretty much being killed by method calls. For instance, code like this won't work: fn x() -

You can contact them asking for a refund if that happens. They are pretty much forced to return the money or risk the chargeback. That said, I think a phone number changing owner and someone else purchasing in the exact same store within th

What counts a breaking change? I would say that strictly speaking anything could be a breaking change if an user is crazy enough, so increasing major version all the time is not particularly useful - I mean, you could do that, but what is t

I'm not entirely sure what is this for. This won't stop decompilation because it doesn't affect compiled code - constant folding is part of C language, "\x0A" is the same thing as "\n". I guess you are los

strncpy is not safe strcpy, for any value of safe. Period. str in the name is really misleading as it's not really a string function to begin with.

Worth noting that strncpy doesn't stand for secure string copy or anything like that. Using strncpy for copying strings would be a mistake, even if technically you can do that. Rather, it's a fixed size string copy function. This

I like the idea of forbidding signed integer representations other than 2's complement, as it is de facto standard, pretty much nobody makes CPUs with non-standard integer representations, partly due to C programs assuming 2's com

Do Not Track should work on addons page, if it doesn't, it's a bug. Telemetry settings however don't work unfortunately :(.
