The difference is all values are valid. In C, you can't know that a `char *` is safe to dereference.

I'm pretty rusty on Python but my impression wasn't that the GIL meant just "no data races" but that it also meant "data can't change out from under you in the middle of executing a statement". You could w

I just actually looked at what you cited and you're mischaracterizing it. The video was found on the page NativeYouthAlliance, not Nathan Phillips's personal page. It's also something like a year old, and a quick skim shows t

Did those people flee civilization to go live naked in a cave somewhere? No? Then no, their reaction to something not working is not to immediately swear off that entire product category forever. Because, sooner or later, everything fails

If Snopes is doing more conservative fact-checks than liberal fact-checks, it's probably because the modern Republican party seems to have made "lying" into one of its core principles (this is most certainly true for the Pres

You can't have your cake and eat it too. iOS is a lot better on the privacy front in a large part due to Apple's restrictions.

They have to stop eventually because there's a limited number of vials, and presumably every test consumes some of those vials. I'd assume the 500 year mark is when they're going to run out of vials.

Probably because anyone who isn't a lawyer has no hope of considering this reply "on its merits". My gut feeling is this "legal hack" wouldn't work, because if it did someone would have used it by now against s

How much DRM today is broken because of attacks on in-the-clear memory? I didn't think that was a standard way to attack DRM.

By what mechanism would increasing the tax rate result in getting less money from rich people? I can only imagine the answer is because they reduce their income, though I don't know what your explanation is for rich people reducing the

Raising taxes on the rich means you can fund the government without raising (and ideally by lowering) taxes on everybody else. This is objectively a social good (the rich can bear the burden of incredibly high tax rates, whereas current tax

My vague recollection is Apple would actually take the Siri request and route it to Bing for you, so Bing doesn't know your IP, and they would attach a unique identifier that they'd rotate every 15-or-so minutes, so that way Bing

For actually serving Siri search results directly, I'm not sure what benefit the search provider gets. My guess is they're really after the "Search Web" fallback if you're not satisfied by Siri's initial synops

I remember a while back them talking about how they use Bing with Siri and about how Apple anonymizes the queries so Bing doesn't know who's actually doing them. I would imagine they'd apply the same anonymization to other se
