Really? So my cisco home modem messing up DNS and appending Utopia.net, burned in hardware by cisco will get a new firmware if I just ask for it? Please go on and let me know where I can open this case. I am not sarcastic, I really need t

Considering Gmail takes seconds to load now (250Mbit link, Ryzen 8core, 32 GB RAM), I don't see myself using Gmail if they upgrade in the same fashion in 6 months.

And thus, we are in the present conundrum: Some profs are decent human beings, and the system runs. Some profs are sociopaths, and the system gets abused. Other fields got their rules in place because of above. It is not fair to the profs

Similar abuses are happening here in Canada too. They really have to forbid profs names to appear on student papers. It would remove a lot of the incentive.

Do not worry, it will be secure. Signed, with verifiable checksums, and gdrp friendly. Just, erm, load these binaries provided by FB, Google, Microsoft and Netflix. :P

It is just a reflection of the accumulated negative sentiment. If you categorize the users, on one end, you'd have a group that would complain about the redesign (but not care about world hunger as a problem, because it doesn't af

Thinking that China doesn't have physical access to servers located on China (with all apple keys on it) is just not how real world works.

Where are you two located? I have noticed Google discriminates per location. For example creating a Gmail account from Canada isn't possible without a phone number, whereas creating one from Europe is.

"I also think that there is an anti-Google bias on hacker news". Nah mate. When a company isn't paying me, I am unrestrictedly free to be objective. The problem, with companies (and with mafia, etc) starts once you take the m

[<-] "Our proposed spelling is intended to suggest unwrapping" I'd argue co_unwrap() has spelling that suggests unwrapping.

What's happening with that Mill Arch? Is it moving forward outside of them publishing papers? It seemed promising.

It's is, but it still doesn't change the fact that venezuella sucks right now, not because of tremendous amazing progress, but math and movement of numbers people agreed on. So, while all is amazing, all can be very non amazing on

People think they have it scored when they make 10m, but some still don't stop. The game at his level of scoring includes different variables in the profit equation. He has to worry if poor people repoduce enough, is the overall popula

Yes but, then we can draw some scientific conclusion. If I can outperform Julia by 50% in C++, but I have to write 10x code. I won't bother with C++. If you manage to have that in the end, that's a very valuable promotional inform

A few of us perceive it as unrealistic, because it's too restrictive. C/C++ are general programming languages and I feel I am flat out eliminated before even starting. So if you didn't target the general programming languages

Looks like it. Section 4.1 eliminates lower level languages on code size, and 4.2 eliminates higher level languages on performance. The challenge in C form would be: Create a better string copy way: while (*d++ = *s++);

The NGO in question has a budget of 7 million pounds a year employing over 100 people to do, in their words: lobbying. The actually law was put in place by representatives of the voting majority of EU.

He's talking altruism, you are talking about personal gain. From the start these are distinct categories. Sure, sometimes they overlap, but Google is past that point lately.

The problem is, that particular direct line of communication is lately somewhat of a one way line to propaganda, misinformation, libel, etc etc. Now we are at the popularity stage where money can be made from lawsuits too. This development

All this is a bit surreal (Canadian here), but it prompts the question: why won't people sue in a class action to refund money they gave to the insurance in the first place? I realize it's a complex subject, but at the end of the
