Rust’s solution to concurrency is a hell of a lot more than just solving memory management. As long as you avoid `unsafe`, Rust statically prevents all race conditions. Rust also makes it so if you can parallelize something, then you’ve p

The general theory is that the continued distribution of child pornography is itself re-victimizing the person or people depicted.

An "is this child pornography" filter is a wildly different beast than "is this copyright infringement". The crucial difference is something either is or is not child pornography, regardless of context. But whether somet

If true, this is probably why the app hasn't been restored to the store yet. Apple requires apps that show UGC to have a reporting mechanism. In fact, if your comment is accurate, I don't know why Tumblr was ever allowed on the Ap

The claimed issue was that the database was missing material. This could be as simple as Tumblr stopped updating their database and didn't notice, and so newer images weren't caught.

Better for everyone to be using a small handful of battle-tested implementations written by experts than for everyone to roll their own implementation. The latter may mean that people have a better understanding of the component, but it&#x2

The core idea of the C preprocessor is relatively simple. But it has very complex effects on the surrounding language.

The problem isn't with parsing the data. The problem is with triggering pathological cases in the complicated beast that is font rendering. And rendering text is something that's so extremely common in apps, and so crucial, that i

That says it happens if you insert it using https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/m... . It does not say that this should happen because someone sent you an email.

You wouldn't do that by sending an email to the account. You'd do that by logging in with IMAP and importing an email that way.

macOS syscalls are explicitly not stable and may change from release to release. The only supported interface to them on macOS is libc.

Sites that sell malware aren’t pretending to be Bank of America. Also, while I certainly believe that some phishing site pretending to be Bank of America should be illegal, I’m not actually sure what law that would violate. Is it actually

Oh man, a lot of the ideas I've thought about for improving handling of shell scripts have problems in the presence of background jobs, and in particular the ability to background a job that's currently foregrounded. On a related

Oh great! I hope you take good care in designing the "modern" language, because once people start writing scripts for your shell, it becomes very hard to fix mistakes (this has been a problem for fish's scripting). I wish I h

This app only redirects DNS, it does not tunnel any other networking. The DNS speedup someone will get by using this app applies to all domains, not just those of websites that pay for Cloudflare.

As a fish user myself, I would love to see a new shell that retains many of the UI features of fish (like the excellent autocompletion behavior while typing) but with an actual usable modern fast scripting language. POSIX compatibility at t

Providing services to malware sites isn't illegal. Providing services to child porn sites is. That's the distinction that Cloudflare draws.

by eridius 8y ago
Cloudflare explicitly takes a hands-off approach. They said they'll provide their basic services to anyone and everyone as long as it's not violating the law (which basically means they won't protect child pornography sites),

by eridius 8y ago
Except they're not willing to censor legal speech. What they did was, one time and one time only, kicked someone off their platform for publicly advertising that Cloudflare supported their awful site. This was a unilateral decision mad

What do you mean, you don’t trust them? Cloudflare provides services to scummy websites, yes. But Cloudflare isn’t doing anything to promote these websites, trick users into visiting them, or otherwise aide them in any way other than provid

The description does not mean website owners are paying so that users of this app can get a faster connection to them. It just means website owners pay Cloudflare already, Cloudflare’s business model is selling services to website owners, a

You could do that, but it's more work than using a gesture recognizer, and doesn't compose as well (for example, with the gesture recognizer approach, you can easily add in other behavior like conditionally enabling a tap gesture

What makes you think the parent stopped looking at the submission at that point? They're simply reporting a spelling mistake. There's no reason to attack them for that.
