Okay, so "app", not "device". I was wondering which other app or part of the OS would do that, since obviously Signal won't implement it.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I think those were basic public health measures, fully justified. They ended when no longer needed.

It hasn't, apart from this Chat Control.

How would my device be (self-)reporting?

by gpvos 2y ago
True, but it won't make a difference.

Tests whether `echo` supports the `-e` option.

Is it? I've always heard recycled plastic is more expensive than new.

In the original vi, if you use cw to change it into a longer word, you can't just use <DEL> to remove spaces after the word, but have to use <ESC> and x. So R is often more practical, and it got into my muscle memory before

The mapping from letter to digit varies by country. Less so nowadays with mobile phones, but still.

Or 0, depending where you are.

Steganography would be trickier, but not impossible.

Whatever method they choose, you can just diff a couple of PDFs to figure out what they did, and then write some code to detect and revert or mask that.

Yes, I already could imagine that. I meant the question more in a philosophical sense.

Better use grapheme clusters than Unicode characters. After all, you don't want to chop the diaeresis off an ë.

In the example given, the most logical natural key to me would be (year, rank). Why otherwise would they have the year in there?

As far as I know it's not English or any Western entity that has grouped the Chinese languages together as one, but the Chinese government, for political reasons. Western linguists recognize the variants of "Chinese" as diffe

The question remains: how can something that does not exist contain anything?

It would be a freedom if you could own a house in that area and not join the HOA.
529.
by gpvos 2y ago
Freedom? You usually have to live somewhere near your work or where other family lives, and most HOAs have very similar cookie-cutter rules with the differences determined by something akin to mob rule.

It should, but additional server-side mitigations are good for defense in depth. There may be people using a different client-side library, maybe because they use a different programming language.

Took them several hours to put that message there though.

You'd have to pay politicians and police a lot more then.

Meanwhile in Europe the AM bands have become nearly empty by now.

I do close a tab when I've finished reading it, or otherwise don't need it anymore.
535.
by gpvos 2y ago
Some tabs I just want to keep open indefinitely, so I'd like an option for that (maybe automatically, based on a self-defined list of domain names). But with some kind of archiving or reading list and a fully user-configurable deadline

You sure? From what I've seen over the years, bookmarks are not a very heavily used browser feature. I think most people don't have more than a few dozen, if they use them at all.

Entering pages from a common but changing context is in fact the main way to get more open tabs. I often scan the main page of HN or my newspaper and right-click the titles that look interesting to open them in the background, then go thr

They just stay open. Going back and deciding which ones to close is a hassle.

I've had 7000 tabs open as well (currently 3700, I backup the session file and start again every half year or so). What I think would be handy would be if tabs would be auto-grouped by domain name, and that I could define domain groups

about:processes can kill processes, which will unload their tabs.
