You are still allowed to consent to tracking cookies under the GDPR, so nothing has to change for you if you don't want it to. The difference is that you now have a choice, companies are no longer allowed to make that choice for you. W

That is simply not true. The C# decimal type doesn't accumulate errors when adding , unless you exceed its ~28 digits of precision. E.g. see here: https://rextester.com/RMHNNF58645

Personally I can respect people who are open about their viewpoints, so in that way I appreciate authenticity. But when I strongly disagree with their viewpoints I still may not want to hang out with them. I wouldn't want to have Adolf

Those seem more like arguments against FreeBSD than an argument against using those special symbols.

The GDPR doesn't cover processing of personal data "by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity". So I imagine that at least some instances of recording police officers in public are exempt, e

In that particular situation I imagine that a smart line of Javascript in the developer console would also have worked. Without the email file (so you must copy the result from the dev console), but it is considerably easier than using cur

It is no coincidence that many jews used to be in the money lending business in those times. They could not charge interest on loans made to other jews, but christians (and other non-jews) were fair game. Sadly this did not improve their po

I can't speak for others, but I'm a white male and less than 98% of the people I know are other white males. This is also true when I limit myself to software developers (but to a lesser degree). It seems to me that reaching out t

OOP is such a nebulous thing. Just because the word 'class' is used doesn't mean something is OOP. Those smart pointers don't use inheritance, they don't implement any interfaces, no virtual methods...

You never have cases where you have a list of lists? Or do you introduce a pointless wrapper type for the inner lists to "hide" the generics?

How is that self defeating from the programmers perspective? Code reviews can contribute to growth as a developer, ultimately helping ones career. When a developer desires such reviews, and a company is either unwilling or unable to provide

Strictly speaking Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks. You can easily create cycles in reference counted types, or `std::mem::forget` something. No use of unsafe required either. That said as long as you don't build graphs with refe

Not all female circumcision involves removing the clitorus. It varies, and the least harmful forms involve only a symbolic pin prick. While I strongly oppose all forms of circumcision on babies and children (unless a good medical reason is

I didn't downvote but your questions give me a strong impression that you are fishing for an answer that will allow you to conclude that 'top student' status is not (significantly) influenced by relevant skills but by other f

And yet 'Assange' and 'treason' are often mentioned in the same sentence. Which is of course ridiculous for the reason you mention, but if I were in his shoes I would be very afraid they'd find a way to make those c

Here in the Netherlands it is exceptionally hard to kick someone out of "their" home when doing so would leave them homeless. Being 1 month behind on your rent for 1 or 2 months may get you some stern letters, but you won't g

Why not? How else are they going to learn how to handle money? Or do you believe children should receive every adult responsibility all at once on their 18th birthday? Sadly these app publishers take advantage while these kids are still lea

Is lisp really more functional than, say, Rust? I've tried it for a while but find Haskell much more pleasant to work with.

Put `bar` on its own line, then use tabs to indent all the arguments. foo( bar, baz, 54 ); Optionally the closing `);` could follow the last argument.

Convicts being able to be employed is likely a net good for society at large. There are also countries where asking whether someone was ever convicted of a crime is not the default and they are fine.

Perhaps you cannot resist the advertisements you see, but you can take steps to limit how much advertising you are exposed to. Get Netflix, get an ad blocker.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand async await. `vec[fut1, fut2, fut3].map(|fut| fut.await).collect()` will not do what you might expect, although I haven't bothered to read the RFC whether it will be allowed at all. Await must

If it's a method you should be able to create a vector of futures and `.map(Future::await)` or even `.map(Future::await as FnMut(_) -> _)`. Clearly this would never work, since `await` is implement by transforming the containing fun
