Inferred salary would be useful for recruiters, perhaps they used recruiter accounts to scrape it?

Oh man. No, cybersecurity investments should be tax deductible.

First I thought “can only happen in the US”, but I remember that four years ago the dutch coalition government had inserted a very specific tax break in the coalition agreement that no party suggested prior to the election. It served shareh

While reading, I was thinking about telling her to get rid of the hairdryer, but bringing it with you is way smarter. If there was no hairdryer to worry about the mind would likely search for something new to obsess over.

And how does one opt out of that?

If you mean that it annoys you that any kind of copyright/IP violation is described as ‘stealing’ then I share your sentiment. This is a real crime though, and most people call this stealing.

Hi, looks like a great development for developers and users alike. But I am curious how you intend to make money from this. Or is this a not for profit initiative?

Because UDP is connectionless, you’ll also need to enable inbound UDP traffic for outbound requests. Or am I missing something?

I think you are misreading him. He says that there is no pressure or indirect influence from china on how HN is run. This is a popular internet forum, of course there’s people trying to push their narrative.

Oh probably. But a lot of people drop their phone once in a while. I just read about a guy dropping it into a Berlin canal! The thing is that if it dropped once you can’t rely on your phone being waterproof anymore.

He was lucky. A family member spilled water over her beloved 6 months old iPhone 12, it leaked in and caused stains on the display.

Not G, it should be k, of course. For a multiple of 1024.

I think your point is that copyleft creates extra value because those extending it are incentivized to contribute their extensions. But in the case of gcc as compared to llvm, permissive licensing looks to be at least as successful. An issu

No, but it’s the best argument they can make to make it sound like it’s advantageous to you.

Isn’t the problem that the record companies keep most of that?

And, I bet a significant portion of the offending CSV files are from excel. Excel is really annoying because it also silently localizes CSV files: my language uses the comma as a decimal separator, so excel wil switch to semicolon for the d

One large source of byte order marks in utf8 is Windows. In MS DOS and later windows, 8 bit encoded files are assumed to be in the system code page, which to enable all the worlds writing systems varies from country to country. When utf8 ca

Engineers like it when everything works the same. It is also easier for product marketing: the new features will be available everywhere, and they’ll work the same. Less to document and keep in your head. The advantage is mostly that it is

Some people may be fooled, but more importantly, if you are an ally of the regime it helps you to an alternative story (fairy tale) that you can claim to believe in, and then pressure others to act on the premisse that the fairy tale is tru

But not everybody codes “at scale”. If you have a small, stable team, there is a lot less to worry about. Secondly it is often better to start with less abstractions and boundaries, and add them when the need becomes apparent, rather than t

What I like about return statements is that encourages me to think about the special cases one by one and be done with them. This also reduces nesting. This could be solved by pattern matching as well, but that might not be a good fit for a

Yes, why would that be?

The following was actually used: https://www.charset.org/charsets/iso-8859-6 There’s no single byte encoding for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean though.

I did not know the trick of using memcpy to get the compiler to load a register from an arbitrary char* pointer. Given that the architecture supports it, can you assume it will be optimized like that? I assume this is done to stay away from

I think the best point in this article is that C, a language invented to write OS code, is currently difficult to use for that purpose due to the current handling of undefined behavior. If you write low level OS code, you are keenly aware o

It is undeniably happening. One benefit is you ship the same UI for all screens. For several billion people, the power user features mostly serve to shoot themselves in the foot, and then they blame the browser manufacturer. On their phone
