Address verification only ever checks the numbers in the address, nothing else. You can pretty much skip all the words that don't spell numbers and it should be the same iirc.
I've not seen this in my experience tbh, the extra code that Go requires is ugly but not complex, the lack of ergonomics actively discourages "clever" solutions and, as a result of this, people tend to write the kind of…
Eh, idk, I wouldn't classify these fixes as hacks nor as technical debt. It's labels that only work from a partial perspective. IMHO a solution that expects perfect compliance is not really complete, it's not good…
Well.. it was ~6 years and ~10 billion payments ago, the clients have been fixed but the "hack" is still there, it has caused no harm as far as I can tell. Worst case scenario it's useless, best case scenario it…
IMHO it's more: fix problems, or at least mitigate them, regardless whose problem it is. I've been in this situation, a clientside bug meant that different requests arrived with the same idempotency key. In my case,…
It kinda works both ways, just yesterday I tried to play the Linux native version of 8bit.runner and it didn't work, I had to install the Windows (beta) version and run it through proton.
Don't you find it excessive to imply the above regarding a G7 country?
When I upgraded my PC to the same CPU, I had the same problem of crackling/buzzing speakers on my USB DAC (externally powered, but from the same strip/outlet) when the system was under load. I had a hunch it was power…
This is also my experience, it's not necessarily Apple fans, people just get used to some garbage but necessary workflow/ritual and forget they are doing it. I witnessed multiple colleagues and friends, who are avid and…
None of my claims disagree with what you just said. People posting the "gotcha" also likely don't disagree with you. In fact, I suspect that most hate firearm-related violence and have worked to stop/curb it, and were…
One could argue that advocating against firearm control and regulation has resulted in significantly increased societal harm, which could also be identified as not fair, if not even evil/hateful, especially from those…
It's being posted as a gotcha because he fought against firearm control and he was killed with a firearm. His death, like many firearm-related others, would have been significantly less likely to occur if firearm…
IMHO the incentives are disproportionately in favour of everyone doing something that hurts consumers (= "something that I don't like"), thus regulation in favour of consumer rights is appropriate. There isn't a…
I would be very surprised if bit flipping and ML were really used here, do you have any source? While for sure there's a lot of signal and value in monitoring auth rates per BIN per payload, flipping bits can be…
Yes, the article focuses on GPP, which is more on the gaming side rather than the compute side. CUDA was clearly ahead and I think AMD still hasn't quite caught up, however, call me old fashioned but I don't like…
I'm of the opinion that NVIDIA raced ahead thanks also to shady anti-consumer tactics (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/03/08/repor... https://youtu.be/H0L3OTZ13Os) so..

I agree that testing can reduce the probability of having huge problems, but there are still many ways in which a QA process can fail silently, or even pass properly, without giving a good indication of what will happen…
It's quite handy that all the things that pass QA never fail in production. :) On a serious note, we have no way of knowing whether their update passed some QA or not, likely it hasn't, but we don't know. Regardless,…
While I agree that under-engineering can be a problem, it's generally very easy to fix by doing what's now clearly identified as missing/needed. Fixing over-engineering is always a nightmare and rarely a success. IHMO…

I think this bit in the baseline section applies to the Java one too >Note that that’s a best-of-five measurement, so I’m allowing the file to be cached. Who knows whether Linux will allow all 13GB to be kept in disk…
I think that enforcing what you're suggesting is incredibly hard and I don't think can scale, it's what PCI-DSS and similar are meant to tackle, it really doesn't work in my experience. This is a protocol/product…

Uhm, yes, I think it is a problem because unfairly losing isn't as fun as fairly losing or fairly winning. Ignorance about the fairness of a game may work in a few instances but would not scale. You don't have to reach…
