If you want to talk to anyone but yourself, you either have to trust someone else's server, or ask someone to trust yours.

There is no "if this comes through". The law was adopted, all that's left is a formal step (getting the law signed) and then a standard waiting period (six months to allow companies to adapt).

If someone is able to download an exe and install a program, they're able to click on a link to the store and install the program... Besides, that article is outdated. As far as I can tell, every complaint has been fixed.

Have you checked that the installer does not alter the file during installation?

Except Microsoft does, it's called QuickAssist and it's installed by default. Calling it up is as easy as pressing Win+Ctrl+Q. (Or the normal way in the app list, obviously.) At this point, using TeamViewer is just inertia.

Good for you, but at least in the US, R600a (isobutane) is not used in AC units. Besides, in the early XXth century, it was okay to vent CFC into the atmosphere. We didn't know that it destroyed the ozone layer. What makes you think th

They have two types of emissions: CO2 emissions from electricity production, and refrigerant gases that are supposed to stay inside the unit. But of course, units have leaks.

It's a bit weird to take the release date for one, and the start of the development for the other. By that measure, the first pre-alpha (!) release of Rust was in 2012; the first stable release in 2015. On the other hand, the first RFC

Not sure this will resonate with everyone, but Edge has both of these features built-in :).

It's not your IDE's features that determine if the language is strongly typed or not.
78.
by bzxcvbn 4y ago
So your bar for strong typing is that some type conversions are not made implicitly. That's a pretty low bar.

Can you guess what this code does? class foo: pass obj = foo() obj.bar = "I thought Python was strongly typed?" print(obj.bar) And even better: class foo: a = 42 obj = foo()

That's pretty much the point of the regulation. If you're okay with being preyed upon by billion-dollar companies, stay in the US. If you'd like to be protected as a customer, come to the EU. Besides, the DMA has specific exe

If there are no convincing arguments one way or the other, then "what everybody else does" becomes the convincing argument. Why change established conventions for no good reason? There's no reason for curly braces to indicate
