Indeed, the registry is actually a good feature, it's a configuration database rather than relying on flat files as in the "just go to /etc/<package>/<package>.config or /home/<user>&#x

Closed source projects tend to be more stable. Not in the literal doesn't crash sense, but in the sense that they're less likely to be distracted by flavour-of-the-month features and have a consistent vision of what they want from

When I was just installing it now (this post reminded me that I hadn't updated it recently) I was put off by the lack of publisher in the installer and went back to double-check it was the official version. It's really off-putting

Here's one potential scenario?: Over-zealous developers who think it's appropriate to log all function calls with parameters for trace level logs, or a framework with the same opinion automatically applies such tracing and logging

This is why I like the Guardian, because they clearly mark the difference between their News section and their Opinion section, "Comment is free", and they keep the news part relatively opinion-free, subject to certain bias on wha

Yeah I struggle to see how all these businesses which are panicking over GDPR could ever have been compliant with, for example, the UK DPR which has been in effect for a very long time and has many of the same requirements. The biggest chan

What are we looking at here? Is this related to Russia blocking a ton of google IPs to enforce the telegram block, or is that a separate thing entirely?

It's all part of the CA story: "Aleksandr Kogan, a Moldovan-born researcher from Cambridge University, admits harvesting the personal details of 30 million Facebook users via a personality app he developed. He then passed the data

Yes, the 95th %-ile of time-to-resolution would be a far better metric, although you would need to correct for the fact that open unresolved cases are right-censored.

But in the UK banks still cover fraudulent transactions at no cost to the consumer.

Taken literally just CR seems very odd. You probably know this, but LF is "line feed" which advances the feed. CR is "carriage return" which puts the carridge to the start of the line. The combination makes sense because

No, 87 million people didn't take a quiz, the whole point is that previously if any of your friends took the test, your information was shared. That's how a few hundred thousand people taking a "personality quiz" get

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the random secret key must be synchronised somehow, surely? I'm talking about in the case that someone gains access to all your synchronised data.

Your vault password should have a similar amount of entropy to the encryption strength, it's one of the good uses of a diceware passphrase, where I'd recommend 8+ words for the encryption passphrase. It's the only thing you&#

Does the "right to be forgotten" extend to Facebook? If I can write to google to not appear in google search results, would it be possible to write to google and ask not to appear in their results when people search my name?

Civ V(maybe 4?) deliberately removed a lot of "un-fun" mechanics such as riots, pollution, global warming, etc. I can't find the article now but there was a deliberate shift to focusing on positive reinforcement rather than h

I've often seen this permission rationalised as "Well apps need to suspend when a call is incoming", but why is ability to know if there is a call the same permissions as knowing every call made and for how long? Facebook may

The first version I read was the Constance Garnett version, but re-reading I read the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation and I'd recommend that version. (Although that one is not public domain yet of course).

Browsing to that page I notice my browser is pinging mainnet.infura.io over and over. Is infura.io the same company as hexel, do you have a formal partnership with them, or are you just piggy-backing their API without proxying it?

Yes, people use excel to create databases without having to fuss about data-types and referential integrity (and without knowing they would even have to fuss about them).

Testing this, it doesn't throw in C#, it just doesn't compile because you can't declare a variable to be a List without declaring the type with it. If you specify myList as List<String> then it still doesn't compil

I can't imagine a single developer would have the power to make this change either? I guess it's possible that filtering has existed for a long time for very specific queries and 'gun' was added to a list. It seems weird

That's unbelievably unsophisticated. That combined with not using their vast ML resources to understand when something isn't a firearm (e.g. glue gun) makes me wonder how this feature has come about.

This article is completely independent of difficultly adjustment. The 20 minute average gap is a consequence of bitcoin mining being a Poisson process and the lack of memory property that follows.

Google didn't start advertising until a couple of years after it was released. Advertising is very much its core now but it wasn't always that way.

It's 8! (8 factorial) which is 40320. This is 127,286,426,869 (~128bn) times smaller than 92^8. Edit: Note that if you have a repeated character in your 8 charcter password then the number of permutations of the set of 8 (7 distinct) c
