C'mon man. A linked list. edit: To use one, you need a mental model of how they work, so you should be able to write one. Not a great one... just one that works.

Isn't WhatsApp more popular? I understood it to be more popular and accessible while still using the Signal protocol.

While recruiting at UT Austin petroleum engineering school recently, I was impressed how embedded Matlab has become there. The students use Matlab for big semester projects and everyday scratchpad computation. I believe it's a required

Wouldn't it be fair to say that a vulnerability in software you willingly bless to install a MITM, is worthy of more distrust (as to whether it's a deliberate vulnerability) than a similar error in an office productivity program?

If you changed her password in September, you shouldn't have to change now, right? Since the "new" breach is from 2013.

They should make data publicly available and available for replication anyway. That goes for all data collected on NSF, NIH, and other government funding sources.

It was a hard-coded value before. The OP just wanted to leave it as a hard-coded value. The world would have been just as hard-coded before his change as after, and it would have been improved as little by the change. The policies in place

These attackers are probably brilliant enough to make their mark in the honest tech business world. I suppose they are driven by the challenge of the crime.

I have Emacs and Atom and Eclipse open all day, plus a byobu session and half a dozen local terminal windows. They all use ESC and F keys in a dozen little ways. I would pretty much have to force the touch bar always to be on F key display.

As someone told me in college as we watched some Saturday morning cartoons: They don't need to make new cartoons because they keep making new kids.

Well put and spot on. The trouble with OO is it's not a data model. Objects aren't rows of a database table. Programmers mutate data fields of objects and enforce the consistency logic manually. As a thought experiment I've c

Yes -- same for ctrl-a, its normal escape sequence. It detects emacs users typing ctrl-a and invites you to map it the way you want.

I haven't read the statute, but I got the impression from the link that the law reads like the laws in the US compelling you to give a breath or blood test when suspected of DUI. If you refuse, you receive punishment whether or not you

Why should encryption even matter? The principle is, you may not keep any secrets. If the government suspect you know the time and place of a planned terror bombing, then logically, they should argue you be punished if you don't tell t

I'm surprised at the violently negative voting reaction to this common-sensical wish. What am I missing? Sure, nobody is stopping me from making alternate root servers. But I'm not competent to run alternate root servers. Don&#x27

Maybe IoT manufacturers or even the consumers owning the things should be liable for damages if their products participate in a DDOS. "Underwriters" labs proves you built your product to some standard, and that presumably makes yo

I would not want Google knowing I sometimes drink too much, or that I do so and get behind the wheel of a car. Easy inferences it could make, given the time I spent at the bar, and the purchases on my credit card. That could even have cons

But it makes ordinary safe investments like bonds return unappetizing, even negative rates. So you can't put your billions in bonds. You look for high yield on something like Uber.

Per the original article, even root doesn't automatically have permission to modify the system.preferences.accessibility list.

As important as this question is for usability, it seems off the original post's topic of Dropbox circumventing accessibility prompts.

No, that works only until your next reboot. DB has installed an agent that resets that setting in TCC.db a few seconds after you log in next.
