I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. Are you saying that screen readers don't know which language to interpret text as?

Just to offer a more benevolent interpretation: I read that "Google thought patents aggressive tools" sentence not necessarily as any implication of Google's intent, but rather an implication that Google were worried about pa

Ooh, that's a fun one. Another con: you'd better hope your input contains no duplicates. :)

I mean, people still prefer to not have to interact with the tax authorities, so maybe heaven is a bit of an overstatement. And I have no personal experience with the US system. But yeah, I sure wouldn't want to switch. :)

My understanding (based on no research at all) is that it was introduced here for a similar reason: "homeownership is good". And it probably is. But I don't know if the deduction helps with that. People buy what they can affo

Nope. Here in Sweden, your employer reports your pay to the tax authorities, and deducts your tax from every paycheck. Banks report your capital gains and losses. In March or April, everyone gets sent their pre-filled tax form for the previ

Noise-cancelling headphones, Ben Prunty's "Faster Than Light" soundtrack, and an interesting problem. And a desperate hope that I won't be interrupted this time.

The vault does no good if you're passwords can be identically recreated by the attacker. Which the "crappy and predictable seed value", in combination with account creation time data, makes trivial. That creation time may be

I'm guessing they're referring to Linus' ranting on Intel here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFwOkH8RH12Dzs=hT3e7eS3Ckz... > The whole IBRS_ALL feature to me very clearly says "Intel is not

(I'm definitely not an expert. Grains of salt encouraged.) There were no checksums, so incorrect ciphertext is possible. But Enigma is a stream cipher, so if there was a missing character or someone bumped the wheel halfway through, it

I don't know. They can't allow obvious fraud, or there'd be money to gain in spinning up lots of VMs to inflate your stream count (and thereby your share of the total pie). But people must be trying, I assume. Some will fall

That kind of suggests an interesting tradeoff: do I want the bandcamp money from more dedicated fans, or the convenience and discoverability of streaming services? Admittedly, I may be making a false dichotomy there. I've chosen the pa

That's what I expected as well, before I tried. I assume Spotify just prefers to make a few big deals instead of lots of small deals. It saves them from having to manage all the individual payments, and probably the whole "is this

Oh, and I assume that the big labels have better deals with Spotify than my small aggregator does -- earning a better per-stream rate.

> They priced an entire month of music at about £10, the same as a CD. That's 720 hours (30 days) Yeah, but who listens for 24 hours a day, all month? Also, that £10 CD can be played infinitely. That's infinity hours of music

Every time I hear this kind of complaint, I wonder what kinds of horrible deals they've made with middlemen. I have some music available for streaming. In November, I had a total of 5126 streams, which gave me 14.611 USD. If we extrapo

The xor swap truck is rarely better. It causes pipeline stalls, and so is likely to be significantly slower than the trivial swap. The temporary storage will be in a register, so it's (usually) not causing memory accesses.

Based on no knowledge at all about Telemetry, probably something similar to the amazing trace functionality in the Linux kernel. That is: non-shared (per-cpu in Linux) ring buffers, small simple events, and formatting done after the fact.

Not much, IMHO (as someone who enjoys writing C). It would still be essentially the same language, and the popularity of other languages -- whether they be C++, rust, python, Java, haskell or whatever -- come from introducing more interesti

I find that manual assembly is mostly useful when I know something about the data or desired operation that is not possible to communicate to the compiler.
