You'd think that after all the stories about people filming cops and whether it is or is not allowed that the cops would actually know the law in this area by now.

I've run into this kind of issue before. I had an 11-character password silently truncated to 10 on signup, then when I typed the full one into the login form it failed to log in. Woo. Can't remember what clue the system gave me t

Except we know that we're only getting closer to the original sound. We're making a lot of guesses based on surviving instruments (in some case only known from paintings or woodcuts in books though) and surviving texts about how t

Sadly that's more a race to the bottom since Google still don't seem particularly interested in actually making the experience for Android developers any better.

I think part of the problem might be that String and &str are not related in any intuitive way. My initial work in Rust was littered with what the heck is this, what's a str that there's a reference to, etc. I understand now,

Almost every pump I've ever used in the UK can reach to the far side of my car, so I don't even think about which side to go anymore. Lots of people do though, and many petrol stations have big signs to try to educate people that

We may be able to develop better electricity storage to allow electric planes to be more practical than they currently are. However, there's also a lot of interest in using biofuels for aviation, so you may see that in the mid-term fut

Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft are working on a VR layer for DirectX 13 to use on Windows and Xbox. Just like Vulkan/DirectX 12.

But why ? It doesn't really explain the purpose of this. What is it about Modern C++ that the author doesn't like? It could easily be read as a person who decided that C++ has too many things which are new and different and they

I'd like some more explanation of why the author thinks it's better to use a lock statement than an Interlocked method most of the time. This is really just fundamental concurrency stuff though. Something which is sadly in short s

Get the book, yes, but do get the original BBC radio play. That's where it started, and it's excellent.

I'd say surely banks will use this for their online banking systems. Then I wonder, because of some of the delightful vulnerabilities I've heard about. So I'll just say banks certainly should use Strict SameSite cookies, an

Your comment pretty much sums up the prevailing misogynist attitude that gives rise to the kind of workplace culture Susan Fowler is describing. > if that didn't help, I might contact her husband as a retaliation I honestly can&#x27

I find the ones that reappear when you scroll up are quite annoying, particularly on mobile which is, sadly, where you actually need them more! In this case, I am utterly indifferent to Stack Overflow's being fixed. At least it's

It doesn't really compute anything though - other than producing more code which is in one of the core paradigms. I wouldn't argue that this is a paradigm in the same category. It's a very handy set of (often very complex) sh

Rather keen on getting impl Trait myself. I won't have to return so many Vecs!

That's what I'm looking forward to! I didn't realise how much I relied on that kind of information being easily accessible when using implicit typing until I started writing Rust and didn't have it like I do for C# at wo

FWIW I find Photoshop more intimidating and confusing than GIMP, because I never learned to use Photoshop. If you're looking at GIMP as something to attract Photoshop users, sure, the UI is bad because it's not the same as Photosh

I don't understand how we got here. I understand that the media picked up a massive campaign to leave, because the various super-rich owners of the popular press decided Brexit was the thing to support. I understand that there were a l

The banks are already making their plans to relocate into other EU cities prior to Brexit. Hard Brexit is inevitable, unless we just don't leave. But May won't do that, because she's decided it's the unanimous will of th

Not yet, anyway. There's still a lot of talk about it. I'm particularly interested in the ongoing talk about a single market for digital goods.

Yes, and it's something the Brexit crowd are relying upon in their visions of our prosperity after leaving the EU. I happen to think it's a load of hogwash, but I really don't want to see them proven wrong because I'll s

There's a push by some GNOME community people to get a good story going for using Rust with GNOME tech, which could be applied to GIMP, being based also on GObject and GTK+. Hopefully that will work out.

I've been using Wayland on Fedora 25 GNOME sessions for a few weeks now. I've not noticed any hiccups on copy/paste and I've definitely been doing it across Wayland-native and XWayland applications. But maybe GNOME'

They never do that. Specs are not Nintendo's thing. They're more interested in how much fun you can have with it.

How many games can you play at once? How many consoles can Nintendo make per day? Not having both Zelda and Mario at launch is probably good for reducing demand a bit to help them keep up, because it's nice to sell out but not by too m

Because maybe this time it'll let them do a proper online infrastructure? These things aren't free, something Microsoft put in up front from the start and theirs is now ridiculously solid. Nintendo are apparently working with DeNA

But it does come with two. Sure they not two dual-analogues, but you can play two-player Mario Kart with the pair of Joy-Cons (urgh, naming) that come with the system.
