It's still a many to many problem in both cases. Option 1: Adding feature to npm/composer/gem/pip ad infinitum Option 2: add per-language parser support to the alerting tool instead. Option 2 doesn't necessitate a n

Adding a second source of truth sounds like a bad idea to me. Now you have to update it in lockstep? No thanks.

Thanks, can't hurt to try.

Chrome's V8 engine was actually written from scratch, unlike Webkit's JavaScriptCore (which descended from Konqueror/KJS, as you say). Google made a big deal about marketing this fact at the time. (1) And while yes, Mozilla&

I too am sad that despite the awesome speed, I'm forced to stick with v56 out of necessity for my add-ons. Tab Groups (which was originally a first-class Mozilla feature called Panorama) absolutely changed my browser workflow, and I ca

Rice and beans is a common staple of some poorer diets; it's much more balanced than just rice.

If they hadn't also breathlessly bragged about life-threatening storms and sharks, that would be plausible. :-)

I kinda liked them, personally. They were used sparingly, and only at clear "milestones", which made me take a step back instead of scrolling from action to action.

Huh? I was only talking about how it's disingenuous to talk about being the "biggest tax payer" when their effective rate still might be lower than what they "should have to pay" because of their complex accounting

"Pay more tax than anyone else" is hollow when they also earn more than anyone else. We're talking about rates, not absolute figures. Eg, the "earned" and "tax paid" absolute totals need to be properly

While it's true that they don't have MEs, the basebands in smartphones almost always have direct memory access, and their own proprietary firmware, so the same problems apply :-(

Damage isn't always apparent, and package drop offs don't always happen when you're home.

No kidding. When he learned (to his surprise ) that he could barely afford a food truck already, that should have been a red flag.

In addition to the UA spoofing others mention, there's also forward conpatibility . If your app holds a mini "caniuse.com" UA-feature mapping, you have to keep it up to date infinitely forward in time, or new browsers won&

True. Or limb taps would work instead, since nether have control over all of them.

I wish there was more info on this alleged ability. It shouldn't be hard to show only Tatiana a picture of a number/person/etc, ask her to think about it, and see whether Krista can tell. Somehow it doesn't add up with t

In this case, since it wasn't grey any longer, I just took PKop's word for it :)

I suspect you're getting downvoted (though not by me) because the hashing computation doesn't directly provide that. Other proof of work algorithms could concurrently secure the block chain and also provide direct, external be

Folding and SETI @home existed for more than a decade. I've never understood why nobody mentions them for Proof of work. Maybe the work's not verifiable? http://folding.stanford.edu

Even better, make the stations operable from either side. Then the yokes always orient in reality, and it's just the frame of reference of the pilot that changes. Eg, if you're facing the dock, and push forward, you'll hit th

Air France 477 was caused by UI stupidity, too. Linked controls (nobody realized the junior copilot was making opposing inputs, which were then averaged with the pilot's) plus poor autopilot UI that they were accustomed to ignoring,

God, I hope not. Ground-up rewrites (when they even succeed) typically lose features, performance, and security, since they don't have the benefit of 20+ years of correcting mistakes. Plus you lose all your contributors. However, Rus

If you both had connections to the same free WiFi, and thus the same IP, it's virtually guaranteed you're at the same location. No GPS required.

Verbify didn't say that at all. It's ludicrous that you can't download a security-focused app when your browser settings are unusually secure. ;)

That trick no longer works at all, to my knowledge. The GFW is wise to it. That's why Tor had to implement HTTPS-like fake traffic padding in its obfsproxy modules, which also need to keep evolving...
