Yes, I should have written languages, my idea was that if they'd look it up they'd see it's plural for huge parts of the world, but nobody bothers. There's also the basic problem that just because people in country X spe

Purchasing can be understandable. The laws for that do vary from country to country, and evolve over time (see VAT regulations in Europe). This will be tricky for smaller operators. But free services? Not so much. Yet, you'd think that

My personal frustration is that when things do get localized, the localization is sometimes outright wrong . Like, the person who's doing the localization didn't even do basic fact checking on what language a country speaks. I&#x

Are you surprised given the highly public pissing war that has been going on between Google's kernel engineers, Brad Spengler, and the PaX people?

Most large C++ code-bases predate C++11, which was really game-changing.

Most of us write new, complex data-structures, that aren't part of the stdlib or a crate, like once a year, at most. Those are hard in Rust if they involve circular pointers. They're hard in C/C++ too, but in a different way

No, in fact many review sites delve in deeper when benchmark results don't match expectations, and those moments are usually very informative. The result I quoted makes no real sense. It may be scientific, objective and reproducible, i

I think they "explained" afterwards that they use an older version of Chromium that predates the switch to clang and spends all of it's time in the single-threaded MSVC linker. (Which immediately explains much of their result

Ah Phoronix tests. Run a lot of things, show a lot of numbers, but never worry about meaning (or correctness). So, can someone explain the Scitkit-Learn 0.17.1 results?

They are already running their largest game, Dota 2, on the Source 2 engine.

Thanks, I was totally confused as it's mentioned several times yet never explained in the first paragraphs.

His KnightCap papers are also cool, .e.g http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.124... AlphaGo learning from self-play? Tridgell did it in 1998.

It used to be 30k for Firefox vs 80k for Chrome, though. I'm thinking it's a combination of being the default, Firefox just having enabled the sandbox on Linux, and it being the base of the Tor Browser (which means Firefox exploit

Unfortunately, The bounty from the tor project isn't nearly as much It sounds like it's a privacy leak, but not an RCE/SBX? Especially as it's saying that the sandboxed version of Tor isn't affected. Bit sad that

Question about TensorRT: It takes in Caffe trained models. Is this BVLC Caffe or NV-Caffe? In my experience the models aren't compatible between the two.

I think the objection comes if the people asking for the CoC are from outside the community. Of course, the argument can come that there's not going to be much people inside the community asking for a CoC because they're obviously

I don't know enough to understand why "apologizing to a contributor who had been repeatedly moderated" is bad (or what it even means, really). I think it means the contributor said something that was not allowed, got modera

Because there's much less power users than normal users, and browsers that only cater to power users are useless because they end up not working on any websites. That's webcompat for you. Former Opera people can tell a few stories

>They claim is biased but is it really biased? How do they know? I think this is just making up excuses so they can collect more data. Informed, constructive opinion there. One clear sign of the bias is that the crash rate of the browser

This is a specific issue with that preference page. You can easily observe that the WebExtension version of uBlock does block Google Analytics, just not on the about:add-ons page. There are probably security reasons why add-ons can't m

So what? So they don't get freedom of speech, which is the discussion here. Most people believe freedom of speech is a good thing we want.

It also means that, for example, they have the freedom to pool funds and buy their own server, and host it in a datacenter that is willing to do business with them, or they can host their shit on ipfs. It's not going to help them muc

It's not "throwing toys out of the pram" when add-on developers are forced to rewrite their entire code every damn year, and this time using an incredibly limited API from goddamn Google Chrome of all places. It's one

Sure, sarcasm helps. So does not particularly well thought out criticism. There's also shrinking core group of users, who liked Firefox before it fell back on many areas, crippled by having to maintain compatibility with add-ons that

You're free not to install it, and the EFF has no overwhelming market power that makes it impossible to avoid their extension. Google, Cloudflare, etc, not so much.
