Thanks for the response. I'm very happy to hear that you consider the hard-dependency on external scripts a problem, and that you are willing to accommodate users who prefer to control who their browser talks to.

Oops. Thanks for that. I've edited my post. Turns out they accept a fake email address, so I just signed up with that.

For the privacy-conscientious user, your site provides one of the worst experiences I've ever seen. To get anything to work, I had to allow scripts from www.codewars.com, push.codewars.com, two CloudFlare domains, AND platform.twitter.

What makes the Macbook Pros exclusively fast at building Firefox? Perhaps it's just that the build process for OS X has been optimized more than other platforms. This would be expected, given that most Mozilla developers seem to be Mac

This is a remarkably sensible speech. The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into

I think most computing environments do have a user of, if you consider a "user" to be something that be notified and can act on such notifications (e.g. to close applications). Your music software's problem seems to be a bad

Doesn't it duplicate effort to put the responsibility of checking for available memory on individual applications? I think, in most computing environments, it should be the operating system's responsibility to inform the user that

I'm all for having less humans around, but actually, educating women, eradicating poverty, and lowering death rates has shown to be the best way to reduce a country's birth rate. It just takes a generation or two. See: https:&#x2

`-MP` makes sense, but I don't see how Make could work out when to regenerate the dependency files themselves without the `-MT` value as in my rule, or the `sed` expression given in the GNU Make Manual. Maybe I'm missing something

Another commenter already pointed out the `-M` flag on GCC (and Clang), but I thought I'd share the rule I use to provide automatic dependencies. It's a bit simpler than the one suggested in the GNU Make Manual: https:/&#x2F

I think this is a good idea. I also think women-only trade apprenticeship programs are a good idea, or (if they even exist) men-only school teacher programs. They're all sexist, sure. But they aren't hurting anyone; they're

That isn't a risk for relay nodes, because you would be relaying encrypted traffic. It would just be noise. For exit nodes, the issue of legal liability for routing other's traffic is less clear. You'd basically run the same

If anyone's looking for a non-US alternative to Gmail due to PRISM, according to Fastmail's company info page [1] their servers are run by NYI [2], a hosting company based in New York. That puts them out of the running for me. [1]

Actually, yes, the current timezones do tell me that. The time known as 7 AM is early morning everywhere. 11 AM is late morning everywhere. 2 PM is early afternoon everywhere. 8 PM is mid evening everywhere. By their definition, timezones a

I vehemently disagree. I think the problems that this causes are larger than the current solution. Timezones aren't a human construction. Humans have only offered a series of approximations that are accurate enough. Cognitive dissonance: Wh
