I think that's a bit different than the argument being made. We should still always use htonl() and ntohl() etc. when dealing with protocols that use network byte order (a shame we're stuck dealing with that legacy). I think eve

So? The same problem exists for having the OS broadcast the user's age range to all apps/services/websites: the service outside your jurisdiction doesn't have to actually restrict content based on age. At least with the

I guess they're only sending this to people who use tools like OpenClaw. I don't, and haven't gotten an email. And I guess also won't get the free extra usage credit offer. Ah well.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I guess it makes some amount of sense that information isn't always distributed in huge amounts of detail, outside of the specifics on what they need to do. I hope that those detailed investigatio

Honestly it seems like the only thing Trump's base cares about is the price of gasoline. They don't give a shit about what's actually happening in the war.

That's a lovely thing to say, but if your existence is being threatened by an aggressor, I wouldn't blame you for throwing out the rulebook. In my view, if someone invades your territory and starts attacking you, you have no oblig

Why do it, then? I'm not trying to be inflammatory or ask loaded questions here, I'm genuinely curious (as someone who, as you note, has almost no connection to the Americans who fight in wars; I have friends who are vets, but ha

I think the author is missing the point. Markdown is easy for humans to read, write, and modify. Yes, parsers can be complicated. Few people need to write parsers, so that's ok, if unfortunate for those parser authors. Orders of ma

As others have stated, no, this isn't a simulation of WeatherStar. It does, however, look exactly like the weather channel did when I was a kid. (New Jersey and Maryland, in the 80s and 90s)

If someone is already sold on the idea of uninstalling the Instagram app and using something else to access Instagram, how is it better to install a different app, vs. using the already-installed browser, with an extension?

The amount of my taxes that went toward people flying on this trip is so small to be not worth considering. I'm much more concerned about my tax dollars going toward the US military, especially with Trump wanting another $200B so he ca

That assumes that war will "evolve" into drone vs. drone. I don't think it will. Sure, drones will be used more and more, but there will always be people involved, even if they are "merely" civilians who get caugh

> If the world is running short of energy then fighting a war that further consumes energy without clear win will be viewed as absurd. I think you have an unrealistic view of the rationality of people who go to war for stuff like this.

Holy false dichotomy, batman! Regardless of whether or not anyone does or doesn't understand your point or position, you're being very obtuse about this. There are many other possible scenarios that could play out, and disagreeing

They were also comparatively slow, no? And their runtimes used up much more of that scarce memory than a C program did.

You have to understand the context, and the time period. Memory and CPU cycles were precious. All computers being 24/7 networked wasn't a thing, so security wasn't much of a concern. API design tended to reflect that.

I bet that "large part" isn't thrilled about the US bombing civilians, including children, either.
