One thing not mentioned: very often "give up and allow a not-quite-perfect hash" is a reasonable solution.

Yeah that's an outright fraudulent claim. But most fraud is legal, and most illegal fraud never sees legal action taken against it.

Honestly, where do people live that the DMV (or equivalent - in some states it is split or otherwise named) is a pain? Every time I've ever been it has been "show up, take a number, wait 5 minutes, get served" - and that&#x27

Regarding rationality of skepticism ... I'm not familiar with the field's research, but how much of the discussed perspective is linked to this book or the paper it is named for? If removing the book would not leave any suppor

Not quite the same (other than being an abuse of the same monopoly) since this one is explicitly pointing to first-party content, not user content.

by o11c 1y ago
Is that actually relevant when only images are user content? Normally I see the PSL in context of e.g. cookies or user-supplied forms.

Incompetently or "coincidentally" abusing your monopoly in a way that "happens" to suppress competitors (while whitelisting your own sites) probably won't fly in court. Unless you buy the judge of course. Intent doe

I keep meaning to generalize this (directory target, multiple sources, flags), but I get quite a bit of mileage out of this `unmv` script even as it is: #!/bin/sh if test "$#" != 2 then echo 'Error: un

That's talking about internal imports (and static - as much as python supports - ones at that), not external ones. If A is my application, B is buggy, and C is some other library, consider: # A.py monkeypatch_B() import C

That URL is exactly the same, but HN is truncating the link text in both cases ...

by o11c 1y ago
The import limitation seems to make this not useful for me. Usually when I am monkeypatching, it's because some code I do not control has a (possibly dynamic) import of the "buggy" module under another name, so I need to ma

KDE 4.4ish (early 2010) was when it finally started to become stable enough to be mostly usable, so that's close enough to just saying "KDE 4". Unfortunately it's looking like KDE 6 is going to be another catastrophic up

Um yeah don't use liquid oxygen. But oxygen dissolved or otherwise absorbed in a material is fair game. Even without anything fancy, water can contain about 1% free oxygen, which is 8x what you could do with gaseous oxygen (which is in

It's in the bank's best interest to have constant revenue stream, even if that means destroying lives. Cars keep their value much better than, say, houses.

Real-time signals have guaranteed order: first by number (lowest first, i.e. `SIGRTMIN`), then by the order in which they are sent. Signals are generally the slowest IPC method, unless you're doing something stupid with a different met

Minor note: on Debian (and possibly other distros), you don't have to use `locale-gen` to dynamically build things into `$complocaledir/locale-archive` (which, incidentally, can cause random breakage for programs that happen to

And what we've seen from e.g. Apple is that "make a private fork and only distribute binaries" is exactly what they wanted the whole time.

For reference, in 1999 10K was still considered a (doable) challenge ... but they were talking "simultaneous" not "per day". The modern equivalent challenge is 10 million simultaneous users per machine.

Off the top of my head: stream count is static (an extension exists nowadays, but it's still usually unsupported), startup requires requires excessive round trips, and it's unfixably insecure (TCP actually shares this last flaw -
