Archive.is and Cloudflare have a long-standing feud over EDNS Client Subnet support. Archive.is refuses to serve Cloudflare DNS users and Cloudflare refuses to work around it.

I don't think it was ever officially confirmed, but word is they excised all the D from their codebase after Quantum Break. They're certainly not looking for D programmers now. Possible starting point if you want to dig for source

What's the difference between "lazy" and "serious executive function issues"?

Most people don't care about others' lives. Engineers are no different. It takes regulators to keep them from killing people, not an oath.

It's been a while since I had to deal with Defender but IIRC the "put this back" option doesn't really work. It would regularly forget exceptions and quarantine binaries again.

The majority of people have no opinion on most issues. Politics is a fight between minority groups that try to sway or force the majority into supporting them. If you are in favour of mandatory deanonymisation for all public speech, what yo

Did you somehow miss the last five million years of history? People have no problem advocating for evil under their own name.

For GLES all the relevant tests are open-source, under KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS on GitHub. There's a small set of legacy "confidential" tests that you have to pass for GL conformance. They can't be open-sourced for le

Which studies? The closest thing I can find is the inconclusive EC study that was misreported as "piracy boosts sales". I could see that being true in some cases, but for games and music?

Are you posting from a bizarre alternate reality or what? No, there are no places. No, going out is not still a thing. If "don't be an ass" is all the advice you needed in order to find love, you are unspeakably lucky. I hope

It does appear in this story: "By comparison, the base fare for a yellow cab from Manhattan to JFK Airport is $70, according to NYC’s Taxi and Limousine Commission" (vs. Uber's $113)

Was this intended to be a positive anecdote? It doesn’t sound like one - how is removing a feature users care about and refusing to add it back any evidence of “utmost respect for the user”?

But 4chan is precisely the kind of “train station” Viktor is talking about. You’re talking to an ever-changing population of anons. The tiny communities that form over this layer sometimes, around generals or because of anons recognising ea

Releasing a patch and a detailed write-up on the same day seems like a bit of an unfortunate choice, especially for a WTF!! vulnerability like this. In software that doesn't auto-update, no less...

On the contrary, it seems like you'd have to try very hard to ship 1.5 GiB of software. For example, Calibre is around 350 MiB. It embeds Qt, Chromium, Python and ICU, is fully localised, and has rather a lot of functionality. Video co

The only way to thwart face recognition is the Hong Kong method: put a mask on and tear the cameras down. Any clever technical solution you can think of will be swiftly declared illegal. Technology won't save you from government abuse.

All of this stuff was on the servers of some corporation nobody has ever heard of? Names, home addresses, personal ID numbers, bank accounts, balances, VINs, plate numbers? This is a nightmare even ignoring the absurd security breach. How m

len() counts code points, not abstract characters. Your "ẅ" contains two of them, U+77 and U+0308.

But it won't. Very, very few people actually run into any trouble because of their disregard for privacy.

This seems unlikely. Most people only have things to hide from their family, friends and neighbours. They don't care about whatever data Google, Facebook, Visa or their government might collect about them, and will prefer free services

Every community is good at easy things and bad at hard ones. Shaming is an easy and obviously efficient trade: a minute of your time in exchange for the primal feeling of satisfaction you get when enforcing your community's social norm

Your plan is to stop sex trafficking by building an adult services website? On the off chance this isn't bait, what on Earth are you thinking?
