V looks like a promising language. You know you have made it when there is an "awesome v" page on github. One question, why is the original `v` much smaller than the `v` compiles using itself? $ size v text data bs

This could potentially mean they start making space a battleground when entites switch to foreign-operated satellite data services.

I feel that the article should make mention of dnssec which can guarantee non-existance of dns records by signing every response. Of course this relies on the end user having a dnssec-aware stub resolver.

One thing I bet it does not include is a requirement to unlock digital devices when support ends (by providing any private keys required to install 3rd party software/operating systems). This would help stop a lot of old devices going

The website does not support IPv6, so I am guessing there are no IPv6 proxy servers either.

If you have disabled referer headers, the site does not work ("Your request did not contain a Referrer header."). In Firefox the preference is network.http.referer.defaultPolicy.

They could have video surveillance of the package from delivery to being opened.

UPRN's are allocated by local authorities; Royal Mail uses UDPRN's (unique delivery point reference numbers).

Sadly this is how most British rags are making money these days, with sponsored advertorials.

They claim that what3words is the answer to this problem, except they themselves admit (on their website) it is no substitute for addresses since many people live in multiple occupancy buildings, and their system is only for use at ground l

Perhaps one solution to this problem, which is popular in the UK, is set up child companies to do things like payment processing. If your provider blocks one company, you can simply set up with another subsidiary. Rinse and repeat.

Nice idea, shame it does not work with IPv6. dig 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.xip.io. in aaaa ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1

There are alternative JRE/JDK distributions, including Coretto (Amazon), Zulu (Azul), OpenJ9 (IBM), AdoptOpenJDK (jClarity/Microsoft).

In the UK we usually only get a single phase. They will alternate the the phases down the street to balance the 3 phases.

There is a lesser known failure mode caused by cosmic rays which planes are exposed to the higher they fly. This causes bit flipping, and can cause a critical failure in a single computer.

Can we have a version using IPv6 instead of legacy IPv4? It would make things a lot simpler (no need for any fancy routing or nat).

I do not know if it is right for your use case, but you could have a look at https://github.com/Tulip-Dev/tulip for visualization.

Only if you are a paid customer. The free service does not allow this, and this is why I do not use Cloudflare for personal use.

As far as I can tell there is still no support for touch screen displays. It is a shame that the data rate gets higher and higher but this simple feature is still missing.

I wanted to try this for myself, but for some reason, the WASM target included with the RHEL distribution of Qt 5.13 is linked against a different LIBC than the GCC target, and hence does not run :-(

I strongly believe that the people of Hong Kong should have the right to self-determinism. There is nobody alive who has lived under Chinese rule in Hong Kong. For reference, I am British. I hope that someday Hong Kong can be recognized as

This makes me think that one should have to sign every page, because what's to stop pages being substituted after the fact? If you only sign the last page, there's no way to prove that the rest of the document is what you agreed t

Yes! It has been around a very long time and is robust and well understood, and is not proprietary, and is decentralised. I hope it stays around for the next few decades.

This is a very good article, but misses out a critical fact: Google plans on making the old API available to paid enterprise users, which is the final nail in the coffin. I hope that Qt will add a new Gecko backend for QtWebEngine and move

I do not see how this would prevent an imitation part being substituted for a real part somewhere along the line.

Apart from actual malware, this is the only browser extension I know of to have been blacklisted by Google. If you want to use it in Chrome you have to jump through hoops. For the record, I approve of AdNauseam. I have every right to browse

I always wondered why databases have not implemented a scheme like Microsoft's Active Directory RID master FSMO role. One server is responsible for handing out chunks of ID's to each server. They request a new block whenever a thr

Right, if the cops are so worried about having access to mobile phone data, they could try lobbying for Chinese style enforcement where you have to have an app installed, and if you do not then you are guilty of an offence. I doubt that wou

My fear for the future is that any computing device must have a government provided co-processor, and it will not be able to connect to a network without it. Any citizen found with an illegal device would be punished.
