That is supposed to be what WebRTC is for. But major companies with their own motives are running the the major video chat solutions.

If at all possible, people in this sort of situation would be much better served by joining a credit union. I was under the impression that most people using these cards were using them because: a) They distrusted banks because of a prior

I'm sure they'll do a post-mortem and come up with additional protections, they just take longer than the immediate fix.

Ah, I get it. The prosecutor's office wasn't getting real subpoenas from a judge (which would have been easy enough to get in most cases) because it would have required that the defense also have access to the testimony as well

Studying to interview with a big company definitely improved my skill and knowledge of Computer Science. Not fun, certainly, but to some degree useful outside of the interview.

Can you withstand an ongoing, drawn-out, multi-year legal battle with a very well-funded corporate legal team? Their legal claim appears to be very weak (based entirely on their terms of service) but they can almost certainly outspend and o

Typically a cease and desist letter (to both the actual author, the host, and the registrar) is enough to remove things like this. They will sue (and easily win) if the C+D is ignored though.

Many are questioning the validity of that NDA in an earlier comment due to its complete lack of consideration.

Agreed, that was the first thing I thought when I looked through it. It's a totally one-sided contract, which is invalid for that reason.

C was my first "real" language (BASIC was the one before it). I learned using the great C for Dummies by Dan Gookin[1], which at the time consisted of two massive volumes comprising over 1000 pages. Good times. Nowadays most of

Practically speaking, Java or C#, purely for the job prospects. C / C++ if you're looking for something with wide applicability to learning other languages more quickly.

I can say from experience that there are plugins which Chrome actively removes even if installed this way.

Agreed as someone who is now in his 30s who has played games since he was 5. BOTW is something very special. I'm at the point now where I've done everything in the main quest but I'm delaying Ganon until I do a bunch more s

Your employer could argue that you used company resources and company time (i.e. your coworkers' input during working hours) in building the side project and thus under your employment agreement, it belongs exclusively to your employ

As a father with an infant daughter, I am so looking forward to (carefully) introducing her to video games. My wife couldn't care less about them, but I'm hoping she inherits my love of them.

Your resume is still identifiable via your Github link. The gaps in your employment history are probably a bit concerning. Have you considered just using years instead of months and years? Since they're gaps below one year, it would

I've encountered this recently when I had price alerts set for the Nintendo Switch. Third party sellers flooded the market with below-retail offers (they soon wised up and made slightly above-retail offers). These sellers filled up pa

Direct democracy tends to lead to tyrannies of the majority. I'd much prefer a multi-party system with some form of instant-runoff voting or mixed member proportional voting. *voila, as the French: https://en.wiktionary.org

Please share your resume, your cover letter / emails to one of these jobs, and an overview of how a typical interview goes. You're could be screwing up one of these on a regular basis. Alternatively, a lot of employers may be di

A reset phone will appear highly suspect and they'll probably ask where your real phone / data is, and detain you until you answer them (and/or send you back if you're not a citizen).

I remember playing Chrono Trigger on an early SNES emulator that didn't support alpha layers (possibly ESNES), and when you got to the future, you had to know to disable layer 3 so that the fog wouldn't just completely block out t

I'm curious if this will result in ISPs requiring the installation of an SSL root CA on customers' devices -- they can't track SSL traffic without it.

This has been my experience as well. Companies will keep their best developers as developers, and perhaps promote from other, less important areas to management (or, perhaps more often, hire externally). This is absolutely not limited to l

Also, what happens to actual real ads? Are they blocked and replaces by their own ads by the browser? Essentially yes[1], which is why I'll never be onboard with Brave or any solutions that rely on it. 1. https://brave.com

Since when was annotating lyrics a competitive business? Edit: Since I've been downvoted at least once, I want to clarify. I'm unsure what monetary value can be extracted from the ability to annotate third party websites, or in t
