I think you're trying to describe an elongated `≠`?

I don't think this is even remotely Material Design. The background colour looks like Solarized. Material Design would have higher contrast than this.

You wouldn't be able to simply pass IP packets with usermode networking. It may also be a better use of bandwidth to reassemble and refragment the packets if the MTU of the host is smaller than the MTU advertised to the VM (although I

What is it about Ripcord that violates Slack's ToS? AFAIK Slack are pretty accepting about custom clients, to the point where they even mention wee-slack [1] in their docs [2]. [1]: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee

No, the fields that take up 8 bytes are pointers to PyObject. (I guess this article assumes a 64-bit memory model.)

Zoom allow iframing the join page as well? Why are they not seeing X-Frame-Options‽

Is it? From my end it looks like a plain ec2 instance from statuspage.io.

Cleartext DNS 1.1.1.1 is still up though, thankfully.

I'm quite surprised Discord's status page is behind Cloudflare. I thought they were using statuspage.io.

I'm curious; how do you generate your passwords?

I believe extensions have to explicitly add support for synchronising settings. For example, uBlock Origin supports Firefox Sync: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Cloud-storage

There already exists a profile manager UI if you run `firefox -ProfileManager` or `firefox -P`. Not as elegant as Chrome's though.

The source code for the fix is public. Presumably the bug report includes working exploit code. I don't see how this is "damaging" for forks.

From my understanding, Spotify uses the Chromium Embedded Framework. I'm not sure which parts are rendered with CEF, but since Spotify is using CEF directly rather than Electron, it seems likely they have a fair bit of native code as w

There was a proposal a few years ago to add array comprehensions to the language, but it was ultimately rejected in favour of using .map/.filter instead. Not sure what came about of object comprehensions though.

Unfortunately PEP 563 [1] means that any non-type-hint usage of annotations is considered deprecated. You could still do things with decorators (like mentioned in a sibling comment), although I suppose that doesn't offer such an elegan

Nowadays there are NVMe SSDs with significantly less random access overhead, asymptotically approaching no overhead at all as I understand.

The difference with system shell scripts is that you can't accidentally clobber libraries that the system tools require to work - shell scripts don't really have any notion of installable libraries.

CPython and PyPy are both VMs, similarly to the JVM.

Discord has terrible accessibility - its themes are low contrast. The GFW is also a concern here.

In Australia, http://131500.com.au is also a very similar example (in that it also borrows the PT directions phone number), although it redirects to Transport for NSW's newer domain name these days.

Funnily enough, there was an article about malware doing exactly this for AV evasion some time last year. Existing behavioral analysis wouldn't be effective since they were looking at Linux syscalls.
