The wikipedia article does not go into that much technical details. Do you have more? Given that the Cisco officer could only talk about strcmp and not something more substantial, I am inclined to believe the story was overblown. On a separ

The very name of that website sounds like some sort of propaganda department. Notwithstanding that, the claims it makes are all of comparatively trivial offenses. The "top 3rd" one was awarded 10 million by a US court, peanuts com

Automatic proof checkers still have bugs in them. However, one nice characteristic is that, since its algorithms are so general, i.e. about the language rather than about the problem you're solving (e.g. sorting), any bugs in the check

Except it's not really private; some random big company sees everything you do inside your house. Oh wait TVs do that now. I guess the real world evolved to be more like social networks...

As I mentioned in the other comment, the creation of a Debian source package has a lot of barriers, some of them good and for quality purposes, some of them bad and due to historical cruft. Documentation is also not very newbie-friendly. Th

It should be noted that none of this article applies to actual development that goes on in the Debian distribution from https://www.debian.org Official Debian development, being FOSS oriented, proceeds from Debian source package

Thanks, shame it got flagged for no good reason. That discussion notes the lethal dose to be around 3-5g and the couple as having had a teaspoon which would be around this mass. However, this theintercept.com source is the only one I could

It feels like everyone someone voices an opinion about GTK3 explaining why they don't like it, some GTK3 fanboy has to chime in questioning the opinion and implying it isn't rational. Yeah, this makes me want to stick with GTK3 ev

To be fair, western authorities had an even longer amount of time before the virus spread to their countries, and are doing about as well or slightly worse than the Chinese authorities did even given this initial suppression.

I dunno man. Sports commentators deal with hundreds of teams all the time, I don't see them mistaking the owner vs manager of a club, and they would be laughed at if they did, even (especially?) the lay / hobbyist ones. Also, at t
