Why bother protecting any data, if you can put a footnote in your ToS.

Nobody’s saying FB’s the victim. It’s their fault, if anything. People are „unduly” influenced all the time, and by everybody. Saying CA somehow worse than anybody else just because they worked for people you don’t like is disingenuous. It’

I don't find CS-level mathematics difficult, but still failed it twice during first semester because at that time it's the most boring, and pointless thing you can learn when trying to become a proffessional programmer. I picked e

Nobody's arguing that volatile has anything to do with CPU cache, or barriers, or locks, or any other nonsense! volatile is there to ensure that the compiler generates code that accesses the variable directly each time, which is necess

> And if you're not properly taking your locks before accessing your variables, `volatile` is not going to save you. Yes, it will! Just because you’re accessing shared variables doesn’t mean you need locks. This is what volatile is

It absolutely is not useless. You're the one confused. I never claimed it's a synchronization construct, or that it magically makes your code thread-safe. No amount of fences or mutexes is going to help you if threads are operatin

>`volatile` has pretty much no correct uses outside of accessing registers in low-level code Sorry, but what are you guys on about? You use "volatile" if you don't want the compiler to produce code that caches a variable.

Considering that half of that is not standard C code, and the other is just a standard way of declaring a pointer that doesn’t differ much in any other typed language, i don’t think you’re making a point here.

This is just stacking one bias on top of another. Wikipedia is not a credible source of information, especially when it comes to topics like politics or conspiracies, and refering to it selectively is a clear statement on its own. IMHO it w

I think it's a case of Google strongly enforcing their policies within the company, and not doing anything to combat moderation bias, rather than them delibelatery targeting different political views. I think, as usual, people are loo

It can hardly be called a mistake when the same doesn’t happen to people and channels that align themselves politically with Google’s internal policies and culture. Google can do as they please, YouTube is theirs, but you can’t seriously ac

You can’t make the law any more strict than it already is without sacrificing everybody’s basic rights.

I’ll never unionise simply because I think it’s immoral to strong-arm your employer when they’re the one to take the burden, and risk of running a company, while offering me the benefits of a stable job. If you don’t like your situation, yo

The fact that you have to know a dozen major technologies just to make basic UI that breaks half of the time should make you feel awful as an engineer.

A link to an ad for, as far as you or me can tell, a fantasy book doesn't constitute an argument.

That's a very roundabout way of saying they won't ban Donald Trump because he's keeping Twitter relevant.

Instead we let the US do as they please on our soil, and politely ask for visas promised to us 4 cadencies ago. All it takes is a radically anti-interventionist US president and we’re left to fend for ourselves against the angry Russians wi

The knowledge presented in the slides isn’t deep; it’s essential. Can’t imagine a C programmer not knowing that parts of an expression can be executed in arbitrary order. Especially that this is aimed at embedded C programmers. It’s more li

It’s more useful to have standard Linux installed, unless you’re incredibly sensitive about security. I treat Chromebooks as cheap Linux machines. You can buy a brand new netbook, and you know Linux will run on it with no driver issues. It’

This is an article written by the biggest fan of a guy with an inflated ego, a child-like view of the world, and nothing to show.

I’m sick and tired of articles like that popping-up on this site. This is not Twitter. Why is irrelevant political content not flagged immediately.
