Raymond Chen has an entire article on the use of NOP in Windows 95 code. In one case, they had to fix a bug with a 32-bit NOP, because using a 16-bit NOP would introduce a different bug! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnew

You don't need to host a site. The data format to send data into Google Analytics is an open API (called the Measurement Protocol). You can just ping Google's servers directly with the appropriate payload, which include crafted UR

CCPA has a Right to Access like GDPR does, but it does not have a Right to Rectification. Under both laws, if Stripe claims to be a Processor/Service Provider, then they have an obligation to facilitate sites using Stripe to respond to

Under GDPR, no. Fraud detection is the canonical Legitimate Interest, and the only one mentioned by name in the text of the law. PECR is a different matter. That's more restrictive but I'm not sure about the exact contours of what

One major use of the public datasets in the academic community is to serve as a common reference when comparing new techniques against the existing standard. A static baseline is desirable for this task. You could maybe split the difference

The issue with NPM is that packages tend to be more granular than other languages. For example: The npm package "is-even" depends on the "is-odd" package. (In case it's not clear, this is a real package, not a made-

You don't need framework libraries. The point is, for many frameworks installing GA is just adding one file to your dependencies and entering your UA number. Installing a comparable tool that doesn't have a library involves margin
