Yeah, this seems concerning to me. Maybe now as the platform is new this isn't much of an issue. But as accounts go inactive people will naturally collect "dead" accounts that they are still following. On Facebook it isn&#x27

I don't think they are only for enthusiasts. I know multiple non-enthusiasts who decided to get the first form factor you described (regular phone size that folds in half) and love it. This style is also not way more expensive than oth

The icon idea is cool. I do something similar but optimized for searching rather than identifying. I put a "tag" in front of my commands. Then I can type the command and press up. For example mc= sexec nix-shell -p jdk17 pri

No, but I know people wondering why this can't play this video in 4k or why their offline downloaded videos stopped working and they get a pop-up telling them that they need to go online to re-validate them. Yes, not many people know w

Isn't this impossible because you can't get a patent if there is prior art? So they shouldn't be able to use a patent against a video game that came out before the patent was filed right?

But it's not really harder to exploit. It is an API call that any Google account can make. It's not like the second call has complex requirements or only probabilisticly succeeds.

Yeah, this seems like the best option. I don't get the author's confusion > Option 2 is weird, how do you determine the cutoff? The cutoff seems obvious. If it is currently always a syntax error allow a comma, if it can be vali

Yeah, this seems backwards. It should be upgraded from the base amount because they effectively found 2 bugs!

I think it can be nice when most of the content is static and there are a few flourish animations tied with scrolling. But IMHO any time any notable portion of content is being animated it is distracting at best or hurts the ability to rea

Yes, but if you aren't careful you will end up with a model carefully tuned for be ways that you add noise not all types of noise from the real world. But stuff like this can be very useful for some base training especially if you add

> sheer number of bots that look at robots.txt and will ignore a caching header This is not relevant because Cloudflare will cache it so it never hits your origin. Unless they are adding random URL parameters (which you can teach Cloudfl

Yes, developers such as those that run Cloudflare's own official blog. Maybe there should be some better defaults if they can't even use their own product correctly. BTW a work around for this is to proxy the feed via https:&#x2F

It seems like common cases like this should be handled correctly by default. These are cachable requests intended for robots. Sure, it would be nice if webmasters configure it but I suspect a tiny minority does. For example even Cloudflare

This is a relatively recent feature. And yes, it is almost certainly because the images are awful quality before zooming in, so they want to limit how obvious this is.

I think this technically wouldn't be a null pointer anymore. As array indexing `p[n]` is defined as `*(p + n)` so first you create a new pointer by doing math on a null pointer (which is UB in C) then dereferencing this new pointer (wh

But it isn't this simple, because you wouldn't need a single "maintaining" branch. You would need one for each feature release that the user may stop at. So if you release the feature branch every 3 months after a few ye

Yeah "on accident" jumps out as wrong to me (a Canadian) but I can appreciate this it is symmetric with "on purpose". I've never heard anyone say "by purpose".

I've been using email since the Google Reader shutdown. The short versions is that I filter (almost all) feeds into a few folders that have no notifications. Now I have a offline-first reader that is already synced to all of my devices

100% the current implementation is "RSS as would be desired by newsletter lovers", but there is already the newsletter for that. If I want batching or similar my reader will handle that, I think it would be best just to have items

I think most TPM based solutions still use software encryption. Most TPMs don't have the bandwidth to actually decrypt all disk data as it is read. (I think Apple devices do actually do something like this, but I don't think it is
