They're not very good at identifying what's actually an "alternative". By way of example, some of their top alternatives to OwnCloud include Dropbox, MEGA, and Google Drive. (All of which completely miss the point - OwnC

For what it's worth, blocking might not be an issue in the future. There's some discussion on the PHP mailing list about adding async capabilities to the language.

They're both pieces of software which implement or interact with terminal emulators; I think some deconfliction is warranted here.

The worst problem with strtok() isn't that it modifies its input; it's that it's stateful. It retains a pointer to the input string internally, and returns subsequent words from it when called with an input of NULL. strsep()

The file sharing features in Basilisk/SheepShaver are really useful, particularly if you're on a Mac host. Being able to drop files you've had archived on your computer for the last 20 years into a shared folder and open them

Do you also avoid YouTube, Coca-Cola, and Netflix because of their obvious socialist connections? :)

It's an Emscripten-compiled version of Basilisk II [1], which is closely related to SheepShaver. (The two emulators target different generations of Apple hardware - Basilisk does 68k CPUs, SheepShaver does PowerPC.) [1]: https:/&

It certainly is damning - but there's no upside to Deel in admitting to their actions, either.

I don't think OP was necessarily trying to imply "there should be no managers", but simply "I don't want to become a manager" - which is perfectly valid.

Yuuup. Drafting and reviewing contracts is universally considered practice of law, and requires a bar license in the applicable jurisdiction.

You mean the "domains" that >99% of users can't even resolve, which can't be used to send or receive email, and which you can't have SSL certificates issued for? Don't be daft.

Worse: if Njalla decides you shouldn't have a domain - for any reason whatsoever , including "we don't like your web site" - they can seize it, and you have no legal recourse. This is not a hypothetical, by the way.

The fact that reading the NYT requires a paid subscription takes away a lot of the value of a Tor service. (Can you even buy a subscription over Tor? I doubt it; it'd be a fraud risk.)

Right. And, as a result, low token-level confidence can end up indicating "there are other ways this could have been worded" or "there are other topics which could have been mentioned here" just as often as it does &quot

I'm not convinced it even works very well for either of those cases. It's common in many applications to return the result of a computation as an object in memory, like an array or string of arbitrary length or a treelike structur

It isn't a practical pattern for anything beyond the most trivial applications. Consider what this would look like if you tried to write a text editor, for instance - if a user types a new line of text, where is the memory for that all
