Indeed, though for C it makes sense given its origins, and Python sort of grew from a fun project into a massive ecosystem by accident.

Google's QuickShare contains a reverse-engineered AWDL implementation that works on Pixel and a few other phones. As for WiFi NAN: support for it seems rather limited outside of iOS and Android. From what I can tell the feature is bare

I recall the last time there was a massive bug in the uutils project, it was because the coreutils tests didn't cover some crucial aspect people relied on. Running these tests is useful for compatibility and all, but it won't nece

Nobody believes Rust programs are but free, though. Rust never promised that. It doesn't even promise memory safety, it only promises memory safety if you restrict yourself to safe APIs which simply isn't always possible.

If anything, I find the rust standard library to default to Unix too much for a generic programming language. You need to think very Unixy if you want to program Rust on Windows, unless you're directly importing the Windows crate and f

If you're stuck with something like AWS and their buggy implementation then you might indeed run into trouble. Luckily, normal DNS servers don't have this issue. Most people and websites don't have ops teams, though. It'

Certbot does domain validation or DNS validation. In either case, your registrar can generate valid certificates for your domain.

I signed up over the weekend and still have access to Opus. I believe the AB test they were doing only removed Opus from a small percentage of users. Don't think I'll be renewing though. The usage limits are low enough that I don&

The Vec approach can also have a nice benefit in terms of memory usage if you construct a lot of small structs (say, a linked list-style structure with a value and a forward reference). Rather than using 64 bits for a pointer, you can store

For what it's worth, you can pull the same tricks in any language. I wouldn't like to work with it, but I wouldn't be too surprised if I encountered a List<Optional<WeakReference<Holder<Node>>>>. A li

AI companies will find other ways to make money before global geopolitics find a new status quo. For the coming years, it seems like a perfectly fine business model. China isn't going to be friendly any time soon and so far America see

If DANE were to roll out to browsers, I think plenty of people would rather use it than centralizing on Let's Encrypt. DNSSEC isn't easy, but either is certbot. DNSSEC also isn't that hard if you're not self-hosting your

I think there are plenty of business cases where finance departments will rubber stamp European companies much easier than American ones, even if they do the same thing. I don't think that's the case with this particular company.

And unlike in the real world, there's little to no real benefit to it online. What value is there to industrializing any of this? Kids who will pay someone for their age tokens to watch porn or create social media would probably be sma

Age verification has taken about three or four years to reach the concept stage, and that's the first stage that will be rolled out. The legal framework behind all this was released all the way back in 2014 and has been officially adop

Why would they? The only reasons to show ID I can think of is when watching porn or maybe when buying alcohol online, though I doubt stores will want to risk driving customers away with that.

When did any EU representative ever lie about this? It has been very clear from the beginning that every member state would make their own apps. I don't really see what internal German politics and lobbying has to do with anything. As

It's not a trojan horse, it's spelled out in the decision, debates, and legal texts to be the explicit goal. The age verification requirement was picked both as a means to prove the technology is sound and as a simple starting poi

Brave being led by an absolute asshole does indeed make it less palatable as a main browser to me. It's on the list, right after the crypto stuff and the full page ads on the new tab screen that are enabled by default. It's still
