The typical octal literal syntax I've seen uses a 0 prefix. This gives rise to quite a few gotchas, as most people think of leading 0's as being non-value-changing. Maybe 0o12345670?

Sorry I was unclear, uMatrix still exists, and I used to use it on Firefox, but now I get a message: uMatrix could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.

I tried to switch just now, looks like uMatrix doesn't work in Firefox? That's a blocker for me... I've spent a lot of time creating a ruleset on uMatrix, not looking to try recreating that.

I've heard that Uber drivers will sometimes give low ratings to people who take short trips. A ride-share form has someone who seems to have high-ish reputation backing that up [1]. [1]: https://ride.guru/lounge/p&

The way I see it, if the adversary is able to remotely access my computer to the extent they're hacking the firmware, my webcam being turned on is the least of my concerns. In my eye, taping the webcam is akin to ROT13'ing my priv

I have a fair number of "shall not be infringed" friends (pro 2nd amendment, perhaps to a fault. I make no judgement calls here). An argument I've heard from them goes along the lines of: "yes, we could perhaps reduce th

I checked out the ilybean site, looks like they've migrated away from the magneto-analytics domain to "jqueryextd.at", specifically the file https://jqueryextd.at/5c3b53f75a8cb.js . If anyone knows how to add

Wow I just actually enjoyed using twitter for the first time ever. I'll keep that link in mind.

It would probably work, yes. But I don't think many people want their backups powered via a service that "will probably work".

youtube probably doesn't save the originals (though they could in some cold-storage tape drives, perhaps). But even still, it's not difficult to imagine that there may at some point exist a compression algorithm that can be applie

You'd be at the mercy of them potentially changing their encoding scheme unannounced and corrupting your files.

You can actually already do this with VSCode, its a recent feature (still only in Insiders). https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2019/05/02/remote-develo...

Makes more sense for that process to move to the editor than for the editor to move to the browser. That way you keep all your plugins and whatever other context the same regardless of what you're doing.

That's a student taught class. Not really policy-defining.

My favorite application of Paint will probably always be The Big Lez Show [1], a 4 season long animated series drawn entirely in Paint, culminating in two hour-long films. Its not for everyone (Australian druggo humor), but if you are in a

Oh right, "Lattice" is the word I was looking for. It's been too long. Would that be considered a subset of category theory, a precursor to it, or another field that it somewhat "unifies"?

Example: the first question on the first problem set [1] shows how the idea of the Least Common Multiple and the Greatest Common Divisor are analogous to ⊤ and ⊥ in PLT, or "any" and "never" in TypeScript. (Specifically,

Watched the first lecture, loved the format: start with a question that you can logically answer, then build up the math to formalize your intuition by the end of the lecture.

"Applied Category Theory" almost seems a bit tongue-in-cheek to me, given Category Theory is designed to distill the concepts found in a bunch of different "applied" fields into one, theoretical, framework. (That was my

I think the idea is that it abstracts away a bunch of the area-specific stuff from other fields, distilling it all down to generalized reusable concepts. For instance, I watched the first lecture and saw immediate connections to the compati

Who's the "et al" there? Microsoft and Apple would be the logical successors, but I don't think most people would consider them "just as bad as Facebook".

When something was obviously committed in error such as in this case (I say obviously because it is well documented that the URL's are not to be made public, and the commit was reverted quickly), I think it is in bad faith to take that

The telemetry source code is not secret. In fact, it is annotated thought the code, in order to comply with certain GDPR requirements. Try searching "GDPR" globally in the vscode source.
