Most likely, or it's a transcription error.

Doesn't that make most sites unusable?

I had the same problem in college. Classes started at 0830 but for me it was still too early. I was always falling asleep and after a while I just stopped attending.

I get 6-8 hours out of my Zenbook with ArchLinux. Nowhere near the touted 9 hours of the specs, or the 12+ of the Macbook. My system is exceptionally lean. I run bspwm and the radios are always off except WiFi. Still, I feel like I could ge

You are missing the point, which is that you can bypass the permission system completely by directly launching the camera intent.

This is ridiculous. If one is harassed in private they have all the evidence they need to expose the harassment to whomever they want. So now they are not private messages and shouldn't be called as such.

Monero is extremely useful and has a strong value proposition. RaiBlocks is another one that's good from this perspective. I agree, most of the projects in the crypto space are just overvalued vaporware (see, very recently, TRON). But

Android has had multi-user accounts for months or years now (I can't remember exactly when it was introduced).

Utterly ridiculous. The feed cannot show every possible post, otherwise it would be a mess rather than a feed. I really dislike Facebook, but blaming it in this case doesn't even make sense.

> Millions of American consumers tell us that privacy is a grave concern to them when they are thinking about shopping online Wow! And look where we are now. Quite the irony how things played out.

So? If you want to be offline you go offline. It's not like someone is forcing you to use WiFi... This seems more like a self-control problem.

I cannot speak about macOS, but I can about Windows. I've used Windows since I was 5 years old, for a bit more than 10 years. I've used Windows XP, Vista and 7. Then I've switched to Linux. Windows is frankly terrible. I&#x27

Just out of curiosity, what smartphone and OS do you use, if I may ask? iOS and Windows Phone are closed source, which I'd argue it's worse than using Google services. Android seems pretty much unusable without Google integration.

Could you suggest books that go deeper in the second type of technical analysis? Most of what I find online fits well in the first type you described.

I don't think this comparison is sound. First of all, are you investing the same money in both cases? Even with a smaller annualized ROI you can earn more by investing more at the start. This brings us to the second point: if you skipp

Just the other day I discovered that there exist a kernel (SOS kernel) that allows to use Python and R simultaneously in the same notebook (on a per-cell basis) and even has primitives for data exchange between the two. I'm definitely

It takes a while and it's really boring, but you can configure the scaling for at least the major graphical toolkits (Qt 4,5 whatever and GTK 2,3). Java apps are yet another separate thing to configure.

I don't think the best use case for BK-trees is spell-checking and words. The area in which they are used most successfully is image deduplication. In that case the metric you're going to use is some form of perceptual hashing.

Mhm maybe in C++ a deque is a vector of vectors (in stdlibc it's just a double pointer to T IIRC). In Python it's a doubly-linked list of blocks: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Mo

Weird, I don't see why a whole TLD would be blocked. Even Alphabet uses it! I chose it because .io was way too expensive for my student budget and xyz looked cool.

I'm the author of the post. Could you help me figure out what is triggering the warning?

I would also like to know what this means. I'm the author of the post, by the way. When I submitted the link I found out that it had already been submitted.

There's nothing that prevents Bitcoin from being a good anonymous currency. It simply isn't. Its design allows it to be pseudo-anonymous at best, while Monero, for instance, has anonymity built in. Therefore if one seeks a truly a

I disagree. From junior people, it shows that they can actually do something in practice, and it's not all theory that they don't know how to apply. A person just outside of university does not have heaps of past jobs to show. So

But other than that, they didn't even do the most basic testing. I mean, they wrote an HTML parser and didn't test it with malformed input?! It's all over the place on the Internet.
