Well Germany also requires that you surrender other citizenships when you get a German citizenship, unless you are a German dual citizen through ancestry.

Looks like the only use on GitHub so far is Gorgonia, a Go ML library, along with a fast tanh function. https://github.com/gorgonia/gorgonia/blob/master/math_fast.g...

It seems that if he didn't explain his motives (i.e. art, not hacking), his actions may have easily been construed differently.

I’ve tried Little Snitch, but was quickly annoyed at the high interaction required. Maybe I should give it another shot, especially since I use uMatrix on Firefox, which is a similar concept.

In high school, I discovered a way to print to every printer in the entire district. Every computer would mount the NETLOGON network drive while the user signs in and run a jumble of BAT/VBS scripts to initialize settings for their sch

I've wanted to do this prank ever since I saw it on XKCD, but I think it's largely obsolete now, with the widespread use of HTTPS.

The Vault 7 page on Wikipedia lists a strange ordering for E2EE messengers. Telegram has the weakest security and has only opt-in E2EE for chats, yet is listed first. WhatsApp's Facebook ownership is obviously problematic, but irreleva

They both start at the entry block (or exported symbols if it's a lib) and traverse the program graph, keeping only live branches. There is no “other direction”. Tree shaking is the same as dead code elimination.

“Trusting Trust” is one of my favorites. I bootstrapped Go 1.14 for FreeBSD 8, with a couple of patches for older syscalls, but I didn't go as far as bootstrapping GCC. I wanted to build a tool that would automatically bootstrap Go (gc

DDG will add more results, if enough are hidden. If I search "w3schools" with my filter, there are only two results on the first page that are not hidden, so it immediately displays the second page below. It seems that they planne

If you're referring to user-curated search result blocking, that's very easy with DuckDuckGo and uBlock Origin (just block elements like [data-domain="w3schools.com"]; see my comment to the GP). I don't know of any

Anecdotally DuckDuckGo seems to have fewer sponsored sites than Google. DDG also makes it easy to block low-quality sites because it adds a data-domain attribute to the root of every search result. I recently started this mini uBlock Origin

Wow that's a phenomenal effort! It's surprisingly complex converting between regexp dialects.

Fortran has a lot of interesting current compiler work leveraging MLIR, a subproject of LLVM: Flang [0] and CIL for C/C++/Fortran [1]. It seems like Fortran tooling is making somewhat of a comeback. [0]: https://github.

The circle is centered around Green Island. Several more circles can be seen further south near Ras Abu Rudeis. It seems that water only seems to be displayed near land and is replaced with simulated blue otherwise.

“Everybody” is too strong of a quantifier. The named companies (EFF, Mozilla, Brave, Vivaldi, and DuckDuckGo) are all well-known privacy advocates. Not included are user perceptions or competing adtech views.

The trouble with the Compass app is that it's infrequently used, so will usually be automatically offloaded and will need to be downloaded again when you're lost with limited internet access.

Whereas in Pijul and Darcs, commits (called patches) are diffs, not snapshots. They are based on a sound theory of patches, which allows for operations not supported by Git like commuting, as long as the commits aren't interdependent.
