Double criminality! If you are having to launder your micropayment income, you probably should start to question your morals...

But... what is it? That page, and your homepage at https://fastocloud.com/ lists all kinds of technical features, but nowhere does it tell me what this is and why might I want it ?

"If I don't mug this person wandering lost & alone at night, someone else will." - 'someone else will' is not a very good argument or justification for your actions.

So, non-Google employees decided to make Chromium spy on its users and send lots of usage data to Google? That was kind of them!

I just love software where the out-of-the-box settings lose your data. At least HSBC are 'web scale' now!

Why are you confident that your bitcoin will be there when you need it? Have you followed all 793 (and counting) steps in the latest 'how to secure your bitcoin' guide? Epoxied all your USB ports? Buried your private key backup US

Can any Firefox experts help me out with a bookmarklet, please? A HN comment a while ago reported that you can switch to the 'reader mode' view of a website by prefixing the URL with 'about:reader?url=' - this can be use

100% code coverage does not mean a full test suite. You can still find huge numbers of bugs in code that has 100% coverage in a test suite. The two are not the same!

A ‘full’ test suite? I’m not sure that one of those has ever existed for any large program, let alone one under active development. We have to work in the real world here!

It's not just the direction of the stack: in theory, there are two possible kinds of downwards-growing stacks, a 'full' SP points to the last used entry, whereas an 'empty' SP points to the next free entry. It all d

I just found the article odd; it starts off by declaring the behaviour of cpp to be objectionable, but then it just lists different aspects of its actions. At no point does the OP complain that cpp is doing the wrong thing - indeed, they

All these are problems, yes, but my point is they become more manageable when you have more customers. Having Dropbox as a client would be exceedingly difficult if you only have two other customers, but it gets easier as you add more custom

Which of these are scandalous, exactly? If the OP is aggrieved by the operation of cpp, perhaps they could have explained in each of their points what cpp is doing wrong, and how they would improve the standard. Instead, they just list &#x2

Yes! I've always wished that Facebook could see all of my financial transactions.

Doesn't that kind of problem get easier at large scale? It's like any time you have a limited resource to share out. e.g. if an ISP has 150mbits of connectivity, it would be difficult to provide a '100mbit' service to

You can create permanent symlinks inside / by creating a file called /etc/synthetic.conf - 'man synthetic.conf' has the full documentation. This sounds like it would solve the issue?

So you need a large stream of random numbers to seed your random number generator? Seems like a bizarre chicken and egg problem... If I had a source for large quantities of random numbers, why would I even need the second random number ge

Also, just about every JPEG image out there is pretty unoptimised, tools like ImageOptim and others can squeeze out more space without any visible quality loss. But few people bother to optimise their images, precisely because the default i

What are the plans regarding multithread / multiprocess support? On the face of it, multiprocess support might seem a bit stupid, but it would greatly help the porting of more complex applications. The 'processes' wouldn&#x27

I've been using a similar bookmarklet for years now, and I have never seen any 'proper' content deleted by it. The fixed elements of a webpage are overwhelmingly likely to be useless and annoying wastes of space.

That shouldn't be a blocker for password managers. I use BitWarden, and it can auto-fill passwords in iOS Safari. So presumably there is nothing stopping Firefox from also sharing its password manager across whatever browser you use.

IMO, it would be great if 'cut' could accept more than just a single character for delimiters. e.g. a regex or even a shell-style pattern match would be very useful. `cut -d ' +' -f2` would get rid of the need for '

That was the point I was making: the idea of an 'impartial third party' on an anonymous blockchain is a pathetic joke. OpenBazaar's half-assed solution is to: 1) Moderate the moderators: Great, now we have two problems. 2) Tr

They forgot the important step of ‘sell coin to gullible idiots’, which is essential to the profits. n.b. The ‘solve the underlying problem’ step is optional in all blockchain projects, and is generally omitted entirely.

It’s buzzword-themed, and unfortunately there are lots of funds that are buzzword-themed. Not many of them turn out to be competent or wise investments though. Mostly they are just after mug money.

by joosters 6y ago
Please name me some of these impartial third parties, then? Can’t be hard for you to track them down if they really do exist, after all they should be on some immutable blockchain somewhere...
