My main website has a domain authority of 53; a subdomain with the same IP would be seen as the same site (I used to use subdomains and have seen this firsthand); a subdomain with a different IP would start me over which is a very bad thing

My larger fear is how opaque the process is: will it just continue to flag my downloads as being harmful? Or will it eventually escalate to blocking my entire page/website as I've seen happen to others? Will it result in search pe

The reason I state that it does is because at least Chrome (and its derivatives, which make up 70% of the browser market) and Firefox rely on Google Safe Browsing to flag downloads, and Google controls 92.42% of US search users. Having one&

They do that because they know human nature (well, post-popup windows from the '90s) is to move your mouse down to close the popup and then close the tab, as if it makes any difference. That buys them another 2-4 seconds of time-spen

For me, the "why" is that I grew up playing RPGs, and around my early teens I discovered the west missed out on dozens of major games (even Dragon Quest 5 and Final Fantasy 5!) I taught myself programming and reverse engineering s

Yeah, I always have to write userscripts to get access to getElementsBy(TagName,Id,etc) and then call .parentNode().parentNode()... to reach the ancestor I want to remove. Of course the downside of userscripts compared to uBlock rules is th

I did the same. If things go to hell I'll do global 301 redirects starting around 2026-2027, and work to get every link possible updated across the internet, to drain every last possible cent of value from my .org, and then I'll a

You can't be the first to register on every platform out there. If you ever become successful enough, people are going to impersonate and false flag you anyway. You have to balance putting your beliefs out there, so people know an obvi

I only use the script on my desktop, and so I've never seen an AMP result. I'd need to be able to use the 'inspect element' developer tool on mobile I suppose in order to see how to filter them. Not even sure the script

Google has given up on improving search, much like Microsoft did with IE6 when it became the dominant player. Only real competition would force them to start improving again. Here is my own userscript that removes any matching URL portions

The hope is to get a non-corrupt TLD in place that won't raise prices on you with no caps (and if possible while we're at it, won't charge you for certificate signing.) Ideally, a real winner would be a pay-once, own-for-life

Anything that doesn't work out-of-the-box is dead on arrival, though. I would never be willing to move my domain from .org to a system that people couldn't get to without installing additional software (eg OpenNIC.) But if every O

As stated by another person, yeah I'd want it to not overlap with the existing ICANN TLDs. Not too hard to do, and we could fix one of the bigger annoyances of DNS and correct the ordering: bsnes.byuu.org -> #newtld.byuu.bsnes, for

Unfortunately, with at least Chrome and Firefox moving to DNS-over-HTTPS, they are the entities deciding on address resolution for 99% of average-user requests. I would agree with you in principle however, in which case there's an ev

The process of mapping name=IP is not remotely technically difficult, and I'd dare say most people reading this message could implement the backend to such a system in a few days. Setting up the peering replication and nameservers arou

It always astounded me that for the longest time until only recently, you were expected to pay additional money, more than the domain cost itself, for HTTPS security (and if you wanted a wildcard certificate, substantially more money.) I gu

Block Together. A list blocking 100,000 people belonging to group X sometimes sweeps up people outside the group for the crime of eg following a friend who is part of said group. There is also intentional sabotage in adding someone innocent

Sorry if it wasn't phrased well, but that's what I was meaning by it being a serious question: does this lawsuit cover code written by Oracle engineers? It's my understanding the lawsuit was based on code developed by Sun, gi

I consider it something of a trap in fact. You start writing a new emulator for the first time, dispatching entire instructions in one go, and so you don't even really need a state machine at all. Then you start trying to get the timin

There's probably hundreds of these libraries. Almost everyone chooses to just write their own. I wanted one because in 2007, no project existed that was laser-focused on maximizing performance (I switch threads tens of millions of time

Because for many years libco has supported all C89 compilers. I didn't want a dependency on GNU as on Windows, nor did I want to write an MSVC variant. There is no technical reason it cannot be inline now, especially now that we have

Verilog lets you model things natively in parallel, but few people have user-programmable FPGAs lying around sadly. Very cool tech, though!

To change the stack pointer, you either need sigaltstack (not always available) or you have to hack jmpbuf (not remotely portable), but indeed we have done both in my libco library. Assembler is quite a bit faster when you can manage it.

You could well be right. In my own tests, the ESP swap is what tanked performance. A more limited stackless test did not have nearly the same overhead. And indeed, the largest speedup was from moving to set ESP as soon as possible, get the

No one really agrees on the exact terminology. There are stackful and stackless coroutines, continuations, green threads, fibers, cooperative threads, etc. Generally when people talk about coroutines without a qualification they are meaning

I was curious too and looked into it. Someone originally thought it would be a good idea to ignore EXIF data, and by the time someone else cared enough to address it, they were worried about breaking sites that had bad rotation EXIF data if
