Since the '90s. While the preferred form is '\', '/' was allowed as an alternate path separator.
What I really want is this induction stove like this but that also has a single gas burner. Induction is great, but there are some things you can't do with it, but it covers 90% really well. I guess the alternative is…
This solution doesn't do anything to prevent leaking memory in anything but the most pedantic sense, and actually creates leaks and dangling pointers. The function just indirects malloc with a wrapper so that all of the…
How do we sign up for the beta? This provides information on how to install Test Flight, but doesn't provide a link to get an invite once installed.
The one thing to keep in mind when reading this article is that the malloc/free API was built when many of the issues that are identified in this article (alignment, sizing, etc.) were not issues. Until the early 80's…
First off, let me give a shout out to the author of the article. It's quite well written with clear support for the answer he provides. Now back to the thread: It turns out that most people expect "random" to mean a…
Not really. It makes it harder, since the warrant would now have to include the cell-provider(s) for your mobile device(s), which would all them to geofence you by tower location or the HTTP headers (which Google could…
And how much would it have cost you to file a lawsuit?
If the government is providing healthcare, as it does in many countries, then they have it already.
I was adopted. I have no idea who my biological parents were or what genetic risks I might have inherited from them. When the doctor asks "Has anyone in your family ever had <fill in the blank>?" I have no answer to…
There is a difference between genomic data and biometric data: biometric data has a known potential exploit vectors. So, with a picture of your retina, a sophisticated adversary could potentially reproduce your retina…
Trying or arbitrating a large number of cases individually is far more expensive than litigating a class action suit. But only if the people pushing the arbitration hold firm, rather than agreeing to the initial…
But having the company update a TOS that automatically removes rights from the consumer, after the consumer already agreed to a TOS that didn't previously restrict those rights is likely not going to hold up in court,…
Right. Also, the practice of having a sticker on a shrink-wrapped box of software that read "By opening this package you agree to the Terms of Service contained within", where the TOS was inside the box that you needed…
Yes, from the perspective of any user/consumer of the service. But since they are facing litigation, any lawyer will tell you that keeping your mouth shut until the action is adjudicated is THE best course of action,…
Automatically opting-in customers to a more restrictive TOS is pretty suspect, especially given the timing. IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that a court would not allow that, given that the TOS was changed AFTER the breach…
And then saying publicly that they should be "fired" after they take his message to "f*k off" and stop advertising seriously and halt their advertising spend on X/Twitter.
Wasn't it just last week that he told advertisers that they shouldn't advertise on X and that they should just "F*k off!" and that he couldn't be "blackmailed" with money or advertising? Now he says if they don't…
I agree it's biased against Musk, but that's the point of the article. Were there specific conclusions that you disagreed with, or just the tone?
I notice that they didn't announce any substantive changes to the actual mobile app. So, it appears that rather than addressing long-standing complaints about the app that lead people to use 3rd party apps like Apollo…
And if you are one of those advertisers, how "common" a problem does this have to be to make you think you don't want to advertise there anymore? Even X's filing doesn't claim this "can't happen", just that it doesn't…
That is a "black swan" argument from Musk, et al. Media Matters set up a test account that showed that it was possible for X's algorithm to pair ads with objectionable content. Given that, how can X claim that "no…
The BTC arbitrage in Asian markets was absolutely NOT very above board. He lied to get Japanese bank accounts opened and to keep them open. Transferring the BTC into Korea was against the law there. He just figured out…
The interesting thing is that while he espoused effective altruism, his actions are anything but aligned with the goals of that movement.
He displays many of the tendencies of a narcissist or sociopath: never wrong, what benefits me is what matters, I'm the smartest one in the room, willing to flout societal norms, frequently lying or shading the truth to…
