Also, aortega wrote "Operative System" instead of "operating system", so because of that incorrect terminology, we can ignore everything in the post. That's how this works, right?

Hi, two things. People knowing that you have account yyy@example.com at example.net could use that information in a spear-fishing attack, or know that you're involved in a controversial website, prohibited website, etc. Emails were not

You may not be trying to troll, but either you didn't bother reading the article or they added details since you read it (doesn't seem likely). They answer this near the end of the not-very-long article.

Alternatively, people can just download langid.py[1] and do language detection locally. This is not a particularly hard problem - I think it's doable by undergrad ML or NLP classes. The tricky parts are usually political - are users go

They've "fixed" it so that you just copy and paste the URL to share whatever you're seeing in the map. Yes, in some ways, it's not obvious, but mainly because the "obvious" way of sharing the URL didn&#x27

You can just copy and paste the URL to share your current view (should include any markers on the map as well).

No, this is just your angry knee-jerk reaction so you can feel good about taking the moral high-ground, and you're scrambling to find the negative in every comment. The comment you're replying is a detailed comment that also state

Problem is, those partitions are far too leaky as people, goods, and money move across the partition so freely.

It would probably help your response rate to include some kind of contact info so people can contact you privately.

I may be biased, but the amount of "putting them in their place" comments is disproportional to how much they overestimate themselves. I doubt Tiffany thinks that she's going to be debugging C++ for Google's [redacted] w

Soylent fans would argue that this alone is a valid benefit of Soylent - reasonable, healthy nutrition that takes no planning or decision-making, and is cheap and easy. Getting people to eat better is not an easy problem to fix. (BTW, it&#x

The methodology behind this study is pretty shaky. Most concerning is that their main claim - that $312 is a lot more than $18 - isn't held up by much searching. As an example, you can get a decent silicone nano wristband for $2.78 onl

Some of the things they listed are dubious... Writing to a file, there’s File.Write([]byte) and File.WriteString(string) – a bit of a departure for Python developers who are used to the Python zen of having one way to do something Simpl

Generally you're using some kind of sampling algorithm to randomly sample from the light distribution in the scene, so it's easy to calculate N different images of the same scene, and then average them together. If it's not the whole image

Actually, you're in a position to get more out of university than most of your peers. So let's say you're going for a CS degree, and you already know a lot of programming. Cool. Ignore the intro programming classes and take higher-level cou

Wow, it sounds like you were outright exploited, while the OP merely has incompetent but non-malicious co-founders. Did you not have a lawyer?

The public-transit lines just connect the different stations/stops. Riders don't usually care so much where exactly their bus or train goes through, since they can only alight at certain points.

Adobe After Effects? Adobe Premiere? I think fake perspectival effects are a bit too specific of a feature to bundle into a generic screen recorder.

We have a saying, "If you're getting too many emails, then you're not good enough at Gmail." Especially with keyboard shortcuts, I can glance at the important emails, check any others that catch my eye, and then archive/mark the rest. Prior

If the new Compose interface was actually that awful, it wouldn't have seen the light of day. What do you think Google employees use for all their email all the time? The window is not that tiny - compare it to the chat window, for example.

1) You are so quick to call this crap. 2) One of its explicit goals is to find an existing character. Your post ironically shows that you can't currently type the B+$ symbol.

The advisory says that reading from /dev/random is fine, but reading from /dev/urandom is affected. Shouldn't cryptographic applications be using /dev/random to begin with? I was under the impression that /dev/urandom is only for when low-q

Closest thing you can do is grab the JSON of the data as the browser downloads it. The cached content that shows up on a feed's pane is transferred in bulk via JSON, so it should make a decent archive. Just need a way to do it automatically

This isn't even about documentation being covered, but supposed copying of the layout of the documentation. If there was ever a non-story, this is it. Basically, both PayPal and Stripe have text on the left half of the screen, and code on t

This was written for the era of dial-up modems and ISDN, so 490KB would have been an OK test (you didn't want dial-up users to have to wait very long).
