This isn't particular of Rust. Nim also forces you to deal with all possible branches of a case statement. I'm pretty sure other languages do so as well. This is just basic type sa…

Start? You already have to disconnect form the network to be able to use the "offline account" option in the installer (last I checked, which was like a couple of months ago). So t…

Clickbait headline. Facebook was not "blocked" - they voluntarily halted the rollout of the feature themselves. NOBODY told them to do this. Reading between the lines, someone at F…

What part of "The European commission is expected to announce the ban this month, covering the use of the technology in stations, stadiums and shopping centres and lasting three to…

Did you read the article at all? The European Union is already planning to introduce a temporary ban on facial recognition in public spaces - PRECISELY because the technology is be…

Assuming that you asking honestly, and not just trying to derail the conversation... Start here: https://skepticalscience.com/empirical-evidence-for-co2-enha... Then proceed to int…

I've only toyed with D a bit. IMHO, if you come from a typical OO programming language background (which to me includes C++, Java, Python...), the majority of D will immediately fe…

Well, that sucks. IMHO, Logitech has (or is it had?) pretty outstanding hardware. I had two RumblePad 2 (the original ones) that survived over 10 years of abuse (buttone mashing, d…

This is the old "announce an inquiry" ploy. This should be familiar to anyone who has watched "Yes, Minister" - or has paid any attention at all to anything ever made in public. Ba…

> For the record, Firefox has built-in anti tracker which is enabled by default and they do that on all platforms Firefox's anti-tracking protection doesn't block google analytics …

Better wait for HL3.11 for Workgroups.

Fun. BTW, I tried a bunch of single word titles (example: red, green, blue, title), and I always seem to get the same result: Bad: 0.4528 - Good: 0.5472 So, apparently, if you want…

That isn't an official communication from Mozilla. That is "someone's" recollection of something "someone" said (or not) at some workshop: "Fair warning: I don't speak for Mozilla.…

You won't be laughing for long, I believe. See this FAQ: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest... Note how they say: "We have no immediate plans to remove bl…

Well, if you just want to admire the cards, there's scryfall: https://scryfall.com https://scryfall.com/sets If you want to play in the computer, there are several free and open so…

Seems like a real missed opportunity to look at the Python stdlib and add a bunch of missing functionality to JS so that people don't have to import a metric ton of third party lib…

And once you get bored of plain old DooM maps, there's Oblige: http://oblige.sourceforge.net/

Define "one go". Keepassxc auto-type allows you to add a delay between writing the username and writing the password. Works just fine for me in these "two step" login scenarios. Ed…

This "accident" didn't happen in isolation. Firefox already ships with telemetry enabled by default, superfluous closed source components (pocket) and a remote control mechanism wh…

The irony is strong with this one. By default, Firefox: - Collects a bunch of telemetry data via several mechanisms and ships them to Mozilla HQ - Provides Mozilla with remote code…

How so? Google has already been found guilty of Copyright Infringement (and then admitted it by invoking the "fair use" defense). They are in the hole already. This is just ironing…
