When are peeps going to stop dumping these data collections on google services? So many datasets I'm interested in looking at, but they all require me to send data to google to look at.

What're you implying? That someone would change their hostname to take over someone else's site?

If you're building in a bog, you can maintain stability if you don't try to dig it out nearly as much as you would land. Also taking buoyancy into account. > I've also read that the forward tilt many houses exhibit was int

I certainly prefer this to the reverse, and having truth values and return values mean something different.

Have you tried to be a scientist yourself and getting some numbers to test your hypothesis?

You can still line them up with many points of reference. Would be pretty hard on a human timeline though.

It was always broken like this. These guys just figured that out. Now we know. It's better to know.

There's some pretty cheap blue boards that cost less than the CPU on them, due to a manufacturing flaw. (one resistor is wrong, so it won't program on most PCs)

They've done that for a couple of years. If you can actually submit a support ticket, get them to agree that a phone number is not required (like it says on their website), and to reply when that's done, you'll get your accou

Strange. Since any new account I add to the site gets locked after about ten minutes and demands a phone number to verify. I get the account unlocked after a few days if I pester support about it. (which is not easy either)

But who decides which opinions are possible to exclude without being detrimental? Turtles, all the way down!

I must have skimmed past that. Whoops. I avoided trying it out because it's not available on firefox, so I couldn't correct my assumption by testing it. Also, couldn't easily find copy of the extension source and gave up. The

Is there a reason this doesn't spit out some python or JavaScript code to scrape the same info out? This just seems to add another dependency to whatever I'm developing. Plus, it sends data through a server I don't control. (

IRC works with emoji just fine. As long as your server/client supports UTF-8 (or another encoding)

Anyone else remember why it's called ublock origin? Because that exact kind of supply-chain attack thing happened to the original version. (ublock)

Permission? They're system libraries. If it can run, it can access those.

I didn't see anyone mention the amount of libraries this is depended on in in the comments. according to npm's site, it's 441 as I post this. The developer himself claims about 33340 other projects use it. (or at the very lea

Make sure to put any of your own personal web services behind some dumb authentication system to avoid most of these things biting you before you hear about them. I use nginx + basic http auth, since I'm using it for https anyway.

That wasn't a clone. That was the original project. Hill wanted to stop working on it, handed it off, and then it got bought by evil Germans. Then, he released and maintained an unfucked/original version: µblock origin

Speaking of whatsapp. Does anyone else think it's weird that it requires access to your camera roll to view images, access to your camera to use the web version, and access to your contacts to start group chats? (on android anyway) Asi

In europe, it's 1 or 2 euro. (both work) You get it back when you return the trolley though.

This likely hasn't been made clear to them with a terrifying example yet. Guessing they currently don't have a hardware LED because it might freak people out how much the camera is actually on. Likely no onscreen indicator for the

I like how TG4 has agreed to this standard, but RTE has not. It's probably something really minor they disagree about, or they just haven't gotten around to it.

Java is somewhat like chrome in that it pre-emptively gets some RAM, because it's managing memory allocation to programs itself. (and because the speed increase of not doing system-calls offsets some of the performance hits from runnin

Security problems often exist for years at a time. Rather than making all of those applications vulnerable at the same time, they slowly become vulnerable as the release binaries are linked against bugged code. If it's not linked at ru

That site has Ireland's time zone wrong. It's actually GMT+1 with DST in the winter. In computing, it actually matters.

For an easy solution, you could leave it up to browser developers. More complicated: anything you were paid to put on your website. Exceptions for integrated advertisements/ads embedded in videos. This won't really hit people doin
