How about this: I've configured Firefox with DNT and frequently, when I land on a site that blocks my view with a modal cookie popup, I just push the back button and try another link. While my browsing behaviour might be less typical t

I get that there will always be ads as there will always be projects, products, initiatives, stuff that need a little help getting attention. I'm not so sure about the ad industry , which I believe to be fundamentally way overpriced

Well it compiles, that's good. Has some rough edges in terms of CLI ergonomics (panics if file not found) and does not appear to actually put stuff on the clipboard (ubuntu 22 x11, wayland). Also have a look at edge cases like `zp &#x2

So this is essentially just a thin wrapper around cli-clipboard? Read file contents and then `cli_clipboard::set_contents(contents.to_owned())` (<-- Magic goes here)?

That bag of cards held by the West is somewhat mixed when it comes (trade) war. I see mostly interdependence between countries, similar to those present at the eve of WW1. War was unlikely as no-one had a lot to gain and everyone had a lot

You mean it's not a "Common Vulnerability" as it only exists in one product?

A bit for everyone. Some obvious, some arcane. I made a couple of mistakes, too like the JavaScript one. And what is PVS studio?

Good question. Suppose so... Does anyone know?

The book is in't in Dutch, though. ;-) Incredibly well written, historically accurate (for as far I could tell) and entertaining to read. Warm recommend.

Nice! Hope this one fares better than GitLab. At least they seem to have thought about governance from the start.

Nice to see these kind of systems finally get into a reasonable price range. Not raspberry pi-cheap, but not Apple-expensive either. edit Comparing apples and oranges — this is probably closer to AWS Graviton systems, but in a desktop for

Contemporary focus on the measurable (big data, nouns over verbs, llms) is rooted on the modern world view that objective truth exists and is easily quantifiable. While this data-driven world view clearly has merits, it is often misused a

Nice explanation, doing a step-by-step refactoring in C++. So for memory-bound performance optimization, you indeed see that halving memory accesses doubles throughput in practice, more or less. Curious if this kind of loop fusion would be

Fair argument. The spam fee should be proportional to the amount of spam rather than account or fixed monthly fee. Some kind of micropayment per spam item. Per repo, or per commit / per release in case of NPM? Micropayments on internet

...And of course the miscreants will always find a way to pay as little as possible. Sad, but true, there is no easy solution - at least not a fair one, probably.

That's probably where the reputation part would come in - fair enough. Still, a large wealthy company might consider creating an "unaffiliated" front company to act on their behalf. For example, take out a legit open source c
