It's fun how most of these are "Using the normal mechanism instead of the SDL specific mechanism". I think we somehow end up biased against special-purpose mechanisms, so I'm not surprised these are common mistakes.

Yeah sure y'all no one is surprised by this, but it's still good to have studies you can wave in people's faces when they disagree with you.

Having uBlock installed can't be "something unusual" in this day and age, can it?

Isn't this like the whole point of abstractions? Sure they don't last forever but still.

I think the webdevs are right about this one. People lose or forget passwords all the time (in general not using password managers). Permanently losing access to an account sucks a lot. Tying account ownership to email primarily with passwo

For things that touch the network and maybe particularly use TLS, sometimes people are suddenly in a hurry not to be using an old version anymore. The people with the classic compilers would probably have to be prepared to backport security

Hm, why do people choose to do that instead of using the fallback case unconditionally? Expectation that platform-provided snprintf is faster?

Writing curl today for your own use, on a platform/OS/tech stack you control, or to target all the places where curl runs right now? It's still deeply depressing how costly/impractical it is to apply improved technologie

As a foreigner, I find myself forced to agree with those people.

Eh, "book" is widely used as the unit of literature. If someone says "I wrote a book!", you don't assume that they created exactly one physical item by writing on a lot of pages and tying them together or anything.

it doesn't forget that. it implies that you shouldn't optimize for the least number of victims. it's cool to disagree with that and think about why or why not, but please actually engage with the idea rather than just ass

I wouldn't go around and label myself an anti-monarchist but I'm surprised that that's a contentious position? Yes, of course the people should strip all power from their monarchies/monarchs/aristocrats in a democra

From reading through their stuff a bit, it sounds like you can get fake/internal non-DMCA strikes first, and then, usually, you can choose to escalate to require them to do an actual DMCA thing if you disagree hard enough, which seems

I think they're implying the salary ranges are actually bad enough to smell like expired milk.

It sounds like there can be multiple independent claims on the same video. I guess in theory they could be claiming content at different timestamps.

I've not had a lot of luck finding reports of successful actual-legal-DMCA counter notifications after copyright/content id claims, so I'm really glad to read your comment confirming that it basically works as advertised. Whi

But as performance gets worse, the ping being slow matters less, relatively, right?

To take the tracking logic further, I think you'd do `businesscard-<date for that particular print run>@example.com`, `<name of conference>-<year>@example.com`, `<name of mailing list>@example.com` etc. Maybe co

And then we get to what I was trying to state in my original post. I don't have a strong opinion that it's good or bad practice, I just thought it was a clever thing to do about it. Edit: I think I was thinking of https:/&#x
