Not just Mexico. It’s largely the same across most of Asia, most of south and central America, parts of eastern Europe, and bigger cities in Africa. The whole prescription-only thing (or at least enforcement of it) is largely a Europe /

Does PHP have separate int and float types? NaN is a float value and I would expect 0 to be an int.

Outside of the cities, this isn't true - Australian speed limits and average driving speed on highways is much lower than basically anywhere in Europe. Inside cities, Australia definitely does have higher average speeds than inside mos

Vibrant isn’t really the word I would use. “Lots of fixes” in the title is overly casual, and the first sentence of the article is completely incoherent: > It's been seven years since the release of libX11 1.6.0 for this central X11

I think a firmware- or hardware-level exfiltration system that works anywhere would be valuable enough that they are not likely to burn it by putting it in systems sold widely to consumers, where it would only be a matter of time before it

The issue with forking is that you take on a lot more responsibility than you did by submitting a PR. Many of the people submitting PRs probably already contribute to projects that depend on Cairo. They may even maintain those projects. The

Resisting MITM is the entire point of end-to-end encryption. Verification can be made with the security code that WhatsApp uses, and the safety number that Signal uses (same thing, different name). Other systems have other, similar methods.

With WhatsApp it's even simpler; they just constantly nag you to "back up" your chats to the cloud.

Typically, the central server does not transcode. Participants simulcast a few bitrates, and the central server forwards to each other participant the sub-stream with the appropriate bitrate for the bandwidth capacity of that participant. T

Yes, but the servers only transfer encrypted payloads for which the servers do not have the decryption keys, and you can verify that just by looking at the clients (which are open source in this scenario). That is the entire point of end-

Most videoconferencing systems are not E2E-encrypted. They encrypt the link between each participant and the central server. This makes implementation simpler in a few ways. A good E2E-encrypted system would involve Zoom never having the ke

Right now the average high in large parts of Sweden is below 0°C. And your link leads to data from the output of a model, not actual recorded deaths.
