Even if they were announced and executed at the same time, as soon as you knew it was a possibility you'd start behaving dramatically differently assuming this was plausible again within your lifetime or your child's lifetime.

Sure, but you'd be encouraged to make sure you had long-standing, slow-paying debts at all times or you'd be missing out on free money. I'd be taking out a few 30 year mortgages if this were a thing and probably borrowing aga

Interesting, the opposite has been my experience, friends keep talking about how they can now move farther out of town and not have to deal with neighbours anymore. I'm considering similar. Ultimately, people are more of a pain to deal

I'm noticing Apple making a lot of rather poor decisions to make things "socially acceptable" lately.

OCSP is default enabled in Firefox actually, so you're already doing that. Setting required to true just makes it actually demand a response instead of allowing an MITM to block it making OCSP ineffective. At the end of the day we need

Now ask them if they'd rather have walkable cities and condos or detached homes and cars. I think you'll find the conflict rather quickly.

Depends what you're looking to do - if you really value your privacy, yes, you're going to have to give up some convenience, but I can assure you, it's really not that bad if you put in a little work on an occasional basis, i

I think 4chan managed to distance themselves quite a bit from the worst of it - that went to 8chan, Gab, etc.

Interesting, I personally far prefer the Windows one on 100 DPI displays at least. The blurriness is quite noticeable on OS X and certain Windows applications that attempted to use this style of font rendering. Sure, it's great on high

Yeah this seems like nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Eh... take a look at some of the shit that was reported in the lawsuits, seems a lot worse than mis-interpreted "ribbing".

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had to ignore every PUA detection in the book. They're completely useless, especially if you pirate Microsoft stuff or use "hacking tools" like netcat. I'm not defending the behaviour

Many NirSoft utilities get detected. Not sure if it's still true, but back in the day it was surprisingly common to find them embedded in password stealing malware, it'd basically run a few different password dumpers, make a zip a

This is basically just the real world equivalent of a tool-assisted speedrun.

If you're a tinkerer it's pretty easy to bypass - the main method of rooting currently is Magisk, which also includes a very powerful self-hiding mechanism, able to bypass SafetyNet and most other root detection methods.

To be fair, I'd tell a survey company that too, because it's fucking hilarious.

The only people dying of starvation in the western world are people who refuse to accept help or have severe addiction or mental health problems that prevent them from seeking it in the first place.

I don't think we're likely to replace alcohol any time soon - even with other relatively popular things like cannabis. The effects are more predictable and enjoyable by more people. There's even some evidence, perhaps of ques

I think nuance and novelty are too significant in the cooking world to ever allow machines to take over 100% of cooking unless they offer incredible levels of flexibility. We tend to get bored of even the "best" flavors and the &q

Yeah, I understand this becomes necessary to minimize maintenance effort on rarely used features,but it feels like even more often it's used to turn useful applications into barren wastelands. Firefox, perhaps the best example, is a fr

Pretty sure I heard about 90% of these on NPR podcasts. I should probably stop listening to those.

That's very similar to the solution I'm using and that I hate - it involves unnecessary generation and storage of strings and is far less ideal than something like the implementation in tstl I linked above where you can simply pro

I'm aware of them, but the problem with that is you can only compare an object by instance if I recall correctly. There's no way to override the hashing and equality check that I could find, meaning even for simple objects you&#x2

Is there a proper way to use custom objects as keys in hashmaps in JS (well, ideally TypeScript compliant)? Coming out of the C++ world where this is trivial and something I use quite often this seems pretty infuriating. Maybe a general dat

How so? They're still offering it to me, just on a different IP. I fail to see how that becomes unethical. I'm accessing information they publish to the public at large.

Is Windows 11 likely to perform some sort of attestation for this? Or are we likely to see something like the way the old Windows cracks used to work - a hacked up version of Grub or another bootloader able to patch the necessary firmware a
