Could be they slashed a bunch of features, but I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced a bunch of homebrewed frameworks with third party equivalents. "Line count" is such a vague measure, it's easy to get counter-intuit

FWIW, recycling is not "impossible" if the trash is not pre-sorted by the people throwing it away, it's just harder for the people who have to do the final sort (presumably someone is there at the end correcting the mistakes

It's not that it would work by accident, it would be more like it works by a principle to which our physics is a good enough approximation.

I'm not sure it does make that assumption - if you could arbitrarily exchange hours for money, then you could calculate out how man fewer hours to work and do that, but otherwise you just have a benefit function with discontinuities

Well, Cloudflare is a US company where no political ideologies are criminal, and I'm personally of the opinion that if your political order is so fragile that it can't survive the free expression of some reprehensible ideas, you&#

Yeah, this is downright shocking to me. They make a free speech argument when it comes to censoring criminal commercial content, but political content they're OK with shutting down? Seems exactly backwards from what most companies do.

I'm not sure this is a bad thing. You should have a different password for each site anyway, so the fact that it disrupts your ability to reuse passwords is an accidental pseudo-feature.

In what way did they learn not to piss off open source programmers? I don't see any obvious quantifiable consequences, just some loss of reputation, as you'll get if you piss off any group...

Interesting - it seems that the more measured (privacy) advice should be: "don't use BitTorrent unless you know that your client implements the protocol in a privacy-protecting way". It seems that the protocol itself is not

by x1798DE 9y ago
Why? I don't think BitTorrent is actually a privacy threat, for the most part, it would just put undue load on the Tor network if everyone were doing it.

Complete clickbait, and inaccurate. One could just as well say a bank robber was arrested for opening the door, because that was the first step in robbing the bank. What's worst about the idea that he was "arrested for pressing F1

I guess if you log in, yeah. I keep my browsing highly compartmentalized, so I don't log in to Google for the purpose of searches. I used URL parameters to turn it off, but they don't persist.

This is awesome news. It was always a pain to set up my search engine to have instant off - and of course instant turns back on if you performed a second search on the results page of the no-instant page. I have never once had my search e

My company has a non-disparagement policy (just something you can get fired for, not sued), but when people ask me what it's like to work there, I usually tell them, but with the explicit caveat that the non disparagement policy is in

In general, I think there are a lot of things like whiteboard interviews and coding competitions where employers would prefer "good at X means good on the job", but are reasonably happy to settle for "bad at X means bad on

I don't know why people take this stuff so personally. I maintain open source resources and for the most part people have been fine. Most of my complaints are that I don't always get reproducible bugs and I don't have enough

To be fair, though, if you have two drugs that are separated only by very similar looking characters, that's a recipe for disaster anyway. Even ignoring the localization aspects, I wouldn't want two drugs separated only by the dif

They were saying all decryption would happen client side and the only operations done by the server would be ones where the server can operate on encrypted data and yield encrypted results. I suspect that the main sticking point in that pla

Have you thought about the rights situation here? I don't see anything that indicates that you secured the copyright of the articles you've already provided, and the sites themselves don't have any copyleft notices. I suspect

I think they were not saying that everyone has to record their conversations as a matter of course, but that no one making these allegations has any hard proof. They even mentioned that in many of these stories, Yelp is calling them mul
