In addition to being explicit, consent must also be informed in order to be valid under the GDPR. This is not a blanket understanding of "I may be tracked on the internet." but a specific "X information may be used by Y data

For the GDPR, that argument would fail immediately. Since the GDPR requires consent to be explicitly granted, and neither conscious rejection nor automatic rejection would constitute an explicit granting of consent, the site would not have

First, recovery addresses are for recovery when access has been lost. They are an alternate method of entry when the primary method of entry has been lost. They are NOT an extra method of validation to be used for the primary method of

Here’s an example. I have a firstname.lastname@gmail.com address, which was intended to be permanent. Google turned on two-factor authentication, despite not having a second form of authentication available. Instead, they required the rec

Not quite, because the user of those would need to perform dynamic dispatch in order to iterate over the result. In the article, the returned iterator has a type that is known to the compiler, and so the caller’s code can be optimized much

I read it as being related to the "line in the sand" idiom. There exists some set of rules, the "line". Exactly what is and isn't allowed under those rules is a bit arbitrary, like the exact location where you wou

It’s also incorrect. There’s no need to use both Vec and Box, as either is sufficient to provide indirection.

During some heavy dust clouds from nearby wildfires, the sky was a deep and unsettling yellow. However, I couldn’t get a picture of it, because the automatic color balance removed the yellow overcast altogether.

There may be other limitations as well, but I think of it as a question of where to store the object after compilation, but before runtime. Clearly, it must be saved in the compiled artifact itself. We have an example of this already with

Keyboard shortcuts to scroll up/down don't work unless you click into the array of checkboxes. I think this could be fixed by adding `tabindex="0"` to the div holding the grid.

Because like industrial waste, Windows exports problems to other systems. 1. Windows has an absurdly short maximum path length of 260 characters. 2. On Windows, moving files to a temporary directory can fail, if the temporary directory has

Using the space shuttle program as a comparison, because it's easy to get the numbers. There were 13 total deaths (7 from Challenger, 6 from Columbia [0]) during the program. Over 135 missions, the Space Shuttle took 817 people into

The exceptions to this are also interesting to see. For example, “stainless-steel hex nut” or “designer little black dress” both violate the standard ordering, which would predict “hex stainless-steel nut” and “little black designer dress”

It also ignores how young Go is as a language. It was released in late 2009, and is 14 years old. Python was first released in 1991. Python 3.0 was released in 2008 (17 years old), but the strong push for migration didn’t start until pyt

A PS2 developer may want to do so as a type of copy protection. Somebody today, when implementing a PS2 emulator would want to know about these techniques in order to archive and document these games.

Not only that, but those extremely strict opinions on directory structure extend to your entire home directory. As an example, I wanted to install "gopls", the language server for go. There was a command that could install the de

I'm not sure I follow the argument. The scheduling seems like it would be de-coupled from the provisioning. With the static rate limit, if the only additional requests are from the high-rate client, then those requests are ignored an

That would help against Sybil attacks, since a rate limit on a free service could be avoided by making more accounts. It does have the issue of being dependent on the client’s hardware to provide a server-side rate limit, though.

by MereInterest 2y ago
What was the solution to these? Naively, I would guess that either the expiration time for each limit would need some jitter to spread out the requests, or the rate limits would need to be tiered (e.g. max 10/second, max 60/minut

by MereInterest 2y ago
Not quite, because it isn’t a fixed rate limit. Suppose you can handle 120 requests/second across all customers. If you have 3 clients with active requests, they each are being served 40 requests/second, even if one of them has
