IMO the ship "sinking/floating" analogy is far too simplistic for this discussion. Everyone has a different idea of what the ship "floating" looks like: If you're someone with a lot of wealth, the current state

Presumably, given the scale of this loss, there are people here who have recently moved away from Firefox: If that's you, I'd be really interested to hear why. It seems silly, but I can't think of any time recently where I&#x

Perhaps .dateAfter(1 month) would be more appropriate? I sympathise with the author in finding the violation of associativity of “plus” a bit jarring.

Well, we still haven't got a standardised set of quantum-resistant cryptographic recommendations from NIST (expected to arrive 2022-2024), but since the article was released, the NSA have replaced Suite B with the CNSA [0]. CNSA is sim

At this point, seeing the TrustArc dialogue evokes a visceral urge to exit whatever page I'm on ASAP. I can't believe they're able to get away with this kind of behaviour.

Could you elaborate on this a bit? I’m not sure what you mean.

For colour printing, I found an Epson EcoTank on Gumtree that a local business was giving away for free, having found the process of replacing ink too tedious. For those who don't know, the EcoTank line don't use cartridges in the

My thoughts, correct me if I'm wrong here: If I'm on a very low income, likely 100% (or more) of my monthly earnings will go to buying food, paying rent/utilities, etc, so under a consumption tax, a higher proportion of my in

During my first year of university I took notes in a Markdown/MathJax static-site-generator monstrosity I wrote during my A-levels. This was in real-time during my lectures, and I didn't feel I'd be able to keep up doing it i

My (much) older brother has severe dyslexia. He's bright, and now owns his own business, but in his school, they'd already reached the capacity for SEN provision, and he was refused a diagnosis. He could have massively improved hi

I don't understand how, with the cost associated with re-opening and operating the plant, the cost of purchasing the rigs, the cost of paying to offset their carbon emissions, the cost of the gas, etc., this can be profitable? Or is it

There have always been issues with Cloudflare's DNS and archive.is, IIRC it's because Cloudflare don't pass on some information that the operators of archive.is think they should. Unfortunate, but both parties perceive it as

A bit off topic, but I'm constantly impressed by the flexibility of LLVM to be adapted to many different language compilation tasks, and immensely grateful for its existence. One of my favourite examples of its use is SAW [0], which sy

When saying "Safari's behind Chrome in features" is not a valid criticism, the fact that the author is opposed to JavaScript is a massive caveat, since the feature disparity will likely come down to differences in the APIs av

Are you doing okay? Seems like an unnecessarily acidic response to this post, which definitely seems like it's intended for C beginners.

> a woman with issues arising from mental or personality disorders Oh come on. You certainly can’t divine that from the article, and wanting to “fit in” is a perfectly reasonable, if very sad, explanation for her actions.

I think the difference would be that DMCA could be the only mechanism for content takedown, which would hopefully deter spurious claims, as compared to content ID, which doesn't appear to incur any liability for false claims on the par

I think there’s a subset of YouTube who would much prefer the website without content from media conglomerates. Not sure if it could be profitable on its own though.

I’m not sure what point you’re making here? IMO, while JS is certainly more bloated than ever as a result, the current popularity of frameworks like React, Vue, etc. makes it much less likely that a beginner will introduce XSS than 10 years

IMO it's really unfortunate that Monocypher doesn't implement a high-level CSPRNG API. I appreciate that it goes against the design goal of being entirely dependency-free, but getting random number generation wrong is such an easy

If by "caught up", you mean talked about clang-tidy in a separate post, which is definitely not a GCC compiler flag, then sure. The goalpost, since you're insistent on being explicit about it, was whether a C/C++ compile
