Genuine questions: Is it commonplace for a bank to be a British Ltd, and are they part of a separate banking emergency fund to accommodate for that because they have a banking license? Also where do I have to look to find a real world addre

I've been wondering why AC units for buildings don't come in solar cell combi packages, where if it's hot, it's sunny, so the ac can be powered by the sun, ideally making it a zero sum calculation.

Yeah, also the STM support is often overlooked and is a good fit for some tasks where everything else is much harder.

Thanks for the pointers. Yeah, after you've bootstrapped once, you have a version to bootstrap another, especially since the new requirements to not depend on a nightly snapshot. rustup should be able to provide images that way which w

> The only thing that's a plus for go is it's dead-easy concurrency. Since you mention Haskell, I would like to say that Haskell's concurrency support is more diverse and at least as easy as Go's.

Off-topic, but since you're here, let me ask: where can I track the progress on rustup support for musl-based distros where musl is the host (void linux, alpine linux) and FreeBSD? I got everything but Rust working nicely on void linux

Since the dynlib support probably uses GPL3 headers and runtime symbols, I doubt the result can be licensed anything but GPL3, so I'm not sure what RMS would complain about. This is also the reason why LLVM's ld.gold support is a

If I search Google for "butt gif" I see these top 3 results: human butt getting slapped, Simpsons principal twerking, and someone's face in someone else's rear. Of course our subjective definitions of sexual content may

This one was a real problem, but what gif am I looking for when I search for "huge". Huge what? Seems like Apple has blocked the "huge" for now, which only seems like a temporary workaround because there's nothing s
161.
by cm3 10y ago
Why is this an incorrect result, or what else do you expect if you search for "butt"? Searching "butt", unless you meant "boat", implies the desired result to be that of a rear. The alternative would be to show

> Each client receives different content (at some level). Exactly, and now imagine how easy it is for someone motivated and with the right resources to meddle with that. Similarly, it's hard to prove a machine was used by its user t

But the last one is the most interesting to finally be able to trust the results. It's the same problem as faced in distributed systems, but in, say, NoSQL databases I haven't heard anyone consider the possibility of 4 of 6 member

by cm3 10y ago
Sure, and if the quorum consists of 6 members, and you managed to undermind 3 of them by making sure they're fed the same custom shadow content, you'll have a split.

by cm3 10y ago
Yes, but how do you conclude without a doubt that what was hashed hasn't been tampered, leading a site to believe it's legal or malware-free content, while it actually isn't, and you've just been fed a shadow version of

Actually, Simon PJ clarified that it's "avoid success-at-all-costs" and not "avoid success at-all-costs".

While we could implement a system to have tamper proof verification of stuff that's been archived, how do you prove that the archive (snapshot) is what was actually at the target at creation time and hasn't been modified before ar
168.
by cm3 10y ago
The ruling acknowledges that targets linked to are mutable, but it's just that, an acknowledgement. Not being a lawyer, I can't say what it means for a judge to confirm that link targets are not immutable, and leaving it at that.

by cm3 10y ago
Yes, I did. Please see my sibling comment and EDIT addendum.

by cm3 10y ago
Read now. The ruling acknowledges the target is mutable, but it also says that the poster of a link on a page that's for-profit must check the target content. However, I cannot find anything how one should prove it was legal at time of

by cm3 10y ago
I hope that's the case, and I didn't read the legal text, but how would you protect yourself against that? Would we have to keep tamper-proof screenshots (or archive.is-like snapshots) for each external link posted?

What's the difference between the arrow button and the concave button?
173.
by cm3 10y ago
How can this work? A link is just a reference to a mutable destination and there's no way to guarantee that what's pointed at stays legal after the link was put up. It can change at any time and turn into something illegal, even t

No, thanks for correcting me. The names are similar enough and the purpose is too, so it's easy to confuse. I mean, if you hadn't commented, I would have wondered why it got downvoted.

Cloudfront requires JavaScript, which isn't always acceptable. Edit: Nevermind, confused Cloudfront with Cloudflare. Thanks for the correction, toomuchtodo.

And the amount of HTML, CSS, and JS it loads is disproportionate to the content, making me dread anytime I have to use it to read a thread. The asynchronous loading of content induces a painful delay in the workflow.

This may be surprising, but Sourceforge provides plain mailman lists for projects, and that's a viable alternative to Google Groups for open source projects.

I assume the old links to threads/posts will be alive again soon.

This is great, and I hope they keep the (or a) JavaScript-free interface, because that's the #1 advantage over things like Google Groups which defy any browser convention and you have to fight for usability. If I'm reading an arch
