I don't think the answer is clear at all, this specific instance is about deception. The only thing being used is the name of the project to mislead consumers without being openly fraudulent, in such a way that it damages or limits the

What if there were two albums, entitled "Beatles Greatest Hits" and "Best of the Beatles" and the former is a compilation album and the latter is a solo album by former Beatles drummer, Pete Best. If a fan buys the secon

That's a bad comparison, since they're fundamentally different applications. Video conferencing is multicast, video streaming is broadcast. I can essentially opt in to opening a data channel to a peer because its core to the techn

Seven seconds sounds like a long time. What dependencies are you using when you see this? If there's a lot of macro expansion going on that could explain some of it.

This doesn't sound like a scam, it sounds like the peripheral is calibrated and mapped to the device in software. It doesn't surprise me that it would fail, kind of like that video where someone swapped the board out and expected

The problem comes when you need to mix precision and now all your multiplication and division needs to keep track of the decimal point through the computation. This isn't terribly uncommon, usually when your computation needs much wide

No joke, a vibrator applied to the inguinal area. It's a little uncomfortable and probably has a hefty dose of placebo effect but I'm told it's like a reset button for the way the brain interprets pain from the damaged nerve.

Another person with orchialgia here, it sucks. Mine's been on and off for almost 20 months now. After three urologists I found something that worked (and it's like a miracle). Something you touch on here implicitly is how much it

I think the hardest part of hardware is that its development is essentially an optimization problem - find the cheapest way a factory can make a widget with the features you're trying to sell. The hard part of this problem is that ther

Only if your testing framework allows those tests to be cleanly expressed and readable. Most of the tests I look at are inscrutable and the majority are for handling corner cases, with maybe a handful for common cases. The best documentatio

You don't understand what I'm talking about. Wine does not solve my problems, especially when DRM or anticheat is involved. It also doesn't work well on HDPI monitors. I have a few ancient Windows programs I've tried to

There is Windows and MacOS for users that want a computer that works. FOSS alternatives are for developers and power users that want a computer like someone wants a project car. I say this as a happy Linux user at home. But I need to use Wi

I can't read this plaintext in a mobile browser window so clearly there's some work left to do. Or maybe they've done too much work. Who knows.

Or how about people? I have family suffering from the disease and if I develop it, I want to be experimented on. It's not like I'll have the mental capacity to comprehend or remember most of it.

I didn't say anything like that, I was commenting on your commentary and not Fastly or the BA. That strawman you built up is an example of toxicity. The pettiness is that this looks like a non-issue blown into a flamewar where the BA h
