Saying it's twice as fast is rather misleading? They can both hash as fast as RAM speed allows anyway. And if it's something in cache I doubt one is significantly better than the other.

Also if you have a Quest that is shared in the family, you don't need to worry about your family members poking around your FB stuffs anymore.

You expressed your opinion in a rather rugged way but I think many people share the same general sentiment, in that unlike physics or chemistry, economic and literature works are highly subjective and are often source of endless bickering.

Why Tiktok? 95%+ of these incidents came from Twitter. FB, Tiktok, Instagram, for all their shortcomings, is rarely the place where these incidents happen.

That's exactly the point that the article was trying to make: a loud minority calling for the cancellation, and the institution buckles and does the cancellation despite of common sense.

Looks like this thread is devolving into a tab vs space war again, an eternal holy war without end except at local level where some VP of engineering put down a decree one way or another and the plebs begrudgingly follow.

It's about gist, not a general git repo, so no .editorconfig there.

Looks like the fix restricted the check to "usernames that end with dot and MIME type" Still, what is the attack vector?

I'm curious, would you be able to describe some of that "playing nice" and the complexity of the API? Sounds like a good story time!

I think so. I'm totally not familiar with the pros and cons of mounted drives but I assume there are some operations that are possible or easier to do when it's a mounted virtual drive vs a plain folder? Something related to file

I have used this library before, it's a powerful library indeed but the documentation is a bit lacking. There isn't a straightforward guide to do the most common operations, even the most simple ones like connecting a client to a

Not OP but I have had many cloud photo accounts in the past: myphotoalbum, Kodak Gallery, photobucket, Flickr and more. Eventually all of them either shut down, or got sold and became unmaintained. Google Photos and Apple's are the on

Can't wait for that day, so that I can write some scripts to check JIRA every minute, scroll through my Gmail inbox at random interval and add likes to my boss's messages on Teams. I'll have the top score in no time. Obligato

Mobile OS security works by clamping down hard on what the local user can do, by severely restricting your freedom on what you can do with your device, to the point where you can't even access most of the device's file system. It

If you have untrusted code running on your computer, especially with admin privilege, then it's already game over no matter what you do. Any kind of stored secret can be extracted, and any kind of typed in secret can be keylogged.

Even though I love Firefox and I think it's vital for the web, I can't really in good conscience support Mozilla when it keeps shooting itself in the foot times and times again.

I think the point is simply if the dividend is paid to themselves then short of corruption or mismanagement they can always pump back that money into the company when needed.

Yeah, Teams is notoriously bad for software engineering related messages. It wastes a shit ton of horizontal space and every code block/log snippet that you send is horribly displayed with big font and scrollbars. Of all the things com

Every year for the last 30 years or so the UN General Assembly calls for US to end Cuba embargo. Every single year the US along with Israel vote against it, being the only 2 out of nearly 200 or so countries.

You made it sound like child's play, and yet how many countries have been able to produce their own COVID vaccine and use it for their own people? And under US embargo no less, that's actually the most impressive part.
