This is no good when you want to use the fastmail domain for the aliases. Ever since the twitter @N theft[1], I've learned to never use a custom domain email when signing up for anything. It just increases your attack surface. I prefer

I don't know about Verizon, but all the cellphone carriers I know have carrier-grade NAT set up. That would mean the public IP they have would correspond with many customers with different private IPs. The article says Verizon matched

The compiler does not necesarily dictate what is valid c++. If code doesn't work with optimizations enabled, it could either be a bug in the code where its expectations coincided with the compiler's behaviour on something that is

One example for me is iproute2 (includes the ip command, which as I've heard is the successor of ifconfig in Linux). Looking at the manpage right now, it seems to have improved over the years, but it's still lacking. For example,

In my experience, you can make off by 1 or 2 errors when you accidently include 1 or 2 items in different groups of 5 at the same time. You end up with 25 when you should have ended up with 23. It may also happen that you don't include

I'm not kjeetgill, but I also group things visually in 5 when counting. On your question, I feel less confident in my count, the more things I have to count. Since there will always be fewer groups of 5 than groups of 1, I always feel

I imagine it's the same issue with any other EU legislation. In the end, it's the job of legislators to be as unambiguous as possible. Maybe that implies being very redundant in wording. I do wonder what they do in court, though.
