If "doing just fine" is code for "5-10 times worse than their nearest neighbours" (in terms of deaths per capita), sure.

Here are the deaths per 1M for few countries around Sweden's death number. Why that restriction? Let's expand your list a bit more, shall we: * Portugal 142 * Germany 103 * Denmark 100 * Austria 75 * Finland 58 * Norway 44 * Cze

At even small scales, simply printing a book costs close to nothing. I don't think that's true. As far as I'm aware, we're talking dollars, not cents. For mass-market paperbacks, it's less than that, but that&#x27

Please clarify: Are you against the practice of controlled digital lending of books scanned from physical copies in general, or do you merely have issues with the 3 months of unrestricted lending?

Please don't strawman the IA's position. They suspended the waitlist of (parts of) their library collection for 3 months during a global pandemic that necessitated the closure of physical libraries. The books still cannot be redis

So does the IA during normal operation.

They suspended their waitlist until June 30 ("or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later") in response to library closures.

This vulnerability predates websockets (in fact, you can exploit it even without Javascript) - they just make things more convenient. Apparently, the shit hit the fan a while ago, prompting Opera to implement 'cross network protection&

As far as the standard goes, it's just a name you're not allowed to define yourself with external linkage.

by cygx 6y ago
Hence standard library function names are "reserved for use as identifiers with external linkage", ie unless your implementation is 'freestanding', you're not allowed to re-define them. The code above does not do so

It's the Johns Hopkins University CSSE dataset, and recovered cases are indeed not properly tracked for some countries. But you can just look at the crude numbers of confirmed cases and fatalities to see that the situation in Germany a

Like the British numbers, the Swedish ones have yet to peak, and they are at 0.4/1000 fatalities (ie four times the German numbers I cited in my sibling comment). If your primary goal was prevention of loss of life, the Swedish approac

Depends on whether the mechanism you're comparing it to has a cryptographic verfification step, or not. On the flip side, a script may be short enough to manually audit.

Instead of merely printing 'ok', the page can request a resource from a server you control, eg via an <img> element. You could probably even automate this via <meta http-equiv="refresh">, along the lines of (

That's called 'long polling'. You can also leverage HTTP 1.1 chunked transfers. Cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)

If the user has a web-socket-server running (for example because he is a developer) could the page read from it? Only if that server chooses to accept the request, which it can decide based on the Origin header. Personally, I was more con

But you still have to make sure all programs bound to local ports handle WebSocket requests gracefully. Binding to 127.0.0.1 is a nicely cross-platform way to do inter-process communication (I've done so in the past to mitigate JVM sta

'Interpreted' is often used to mean 'not compiled to machine code'. Perl fits that bill. So do, say, CPython and Lua, in contrast to JIT-compiling runtime systems like PyPy or LuaJIT or AOT-compiled languages like C or R
