"Normalization of Deviance" sounds like the name of a ship from the Culture series.

Right, but zeroing padding only matters for security reasons. If your memset isn't being done for security reasons, then memset() is better than memset_s().
423.
by eridius 7y ago
Surely you only need memset_s if you're doing this for security reasons, as if memset is optimized away it's because the compiler can prove the observable semantics are the same.

Yeah it was. My understanding is the biggest single driver of non-accidental-damage AppleCare issues was the MagSafe charger no longer charging. I personally had that issue multiple times with MagSafe laptops, where it would get to the poin

Traefik also has enterprise licenses. I'm not sure what your point is. Literally the only thing Caddy has done that has impacted non-enterprise customers was that sponsor header that they removed pretty quickly when the community told

I admit I still sometimes have a momentary question when I go to hit Esc of "did I really hit it?" and yet I have unfailingly hit Esc 100% of the time I try. It helps that the TouchBar feels different than the computer body around

It was removed because MagSafe was quite literally the #1 source of hardware failure on those machines. It was worth it when it prevented the machine itself from taking a fatal tumble, but with power ports available on both sides of the lap

The enterprise license requirement for Caddy 1.0 is for using their build infrastructure, not for using the build. The banner was something that could trivially be removed (if it was even present this way) by compiling from source. FOSS doe

A government has a much more plausible reason to be willing to siphon off and stockpile large amounts of cryptocurrency without using it, just in case they ever do need to have a bunch of coins on hand for something.

by eridius 8y ago
Why would a criminal leave the coins to sit in the final wallet undisturbed? The article said the wallet only had incoming transactions and never sent any coins anywhere. Surely if you're a criminal organization stealing cryptocurrency

This view, that prices to consumers are really the only thing that matters, is why Amazon was able to use the Justice Department to remove their only real competition in the eBook space (Apple).

Presumably you could do the same thing with a `<script async>` tag, drip-feeding bytes across the connection and waiting for it to close. Though now that I've said that, it occurs to me that disabling JavaScript almost certainly

That explains why it does nothing in Safari. Safari doesn't support `navigator.getUserMedia`, as that's deprecated and no longer part of the standard. The standard way to do this is navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia

I can't seem to find an article talking about what you just described. Though I'm not sure what the FTC did even matters since we're talking about Apple, not the FTC.

> That sounds like it will undermine the copyright system. That's not a good thing. Copyright has been abused and copyright lifetimes dramatically extended past what should be reasonable. But the fundamental goal of copyright is l

Where does it say that? I've read the article twice now, and nowhere does it say that Apple internal memos tried to say Qualcomm's patents were somehow inferior. What it said was they intentionally licensed less-expensive patents

Why should they be difficult? We absolutely want to discourage (ideally prevent) incorrect takedown requests, but correct takedown requests are a good thing. Beyond the fact that IP owners have the legal right to prevent unlicensed dist

I find it odd that the article is implying that the only reason for Apple to negotiate for cheap patent licenses elsewhere is to artificially portray Qualcomm as overcharging, when surely it's in Apple's interest in general to n

And then Scribd would get sued by publishers for making it too easy to simply repost content that they've been ordered to take down.

They need a detector to detect the case of someone re-uploading a copyrighted material that has previously been taken down. But there's no excuse for running this automatically against works that have not had a take-down notice submitt

Benefit of the doubt is something you give to a company the very first time it does something like this. Not something you give the umpteenth time they do something like this, and especially not when they try and hide their "sorry it w

Ouch. Is this a one-time thing, or do they have a history of that? What I was trying to say was that I can understand companies making this mistake once. Maybe even twice. But once a company has an established pattern of doing this, they lo

The downside to enforcing an order is the compiler cannot enforce an order so people absolutely will get it wrong and not notice until much later when the test breaks and they get really confused because the message is telling them the expe

I can't think of any other company that has a history of downplaying breeches and then revising the numbers upwards. If you don't know how many people are impacted, you aren't supposed to just make up a number. At a bare min

Operating Maps gives Google a ton of information about where people go, where they work, live, what businesses they patronize, etc. Data they can turn around and use for advertising purposes. It's not like they've been running Map

At least in Safari, history.replaceState() still pollutes the browser history, all it does is avoid breaking the back button.

I just tested, Safari still throttles history.replaceState().
