A lot of articles and videos are reporting on this, but so far there's very little comprehensive information about what brands don't do this. Clearly, the 25 major brands examined …

With regards to GOG and privacy, though, it's worth noting that GOG write that they "may use Google Adwords, Doubleclick, Sizmek Versatag, Yandex.Metrica, Twitter Pixel or Facebook…

As far as adoption is concerned, I'm not sure it should be that big of a concern. After all, D is supported by GCC and Clang and continually being maintained, and if updates stoppe…

Many projects have taken longer and been more stressful and had worse outcomes than needed. A lot of the work being done hasn't even been intended to deliver any business value, bu…

Problems with scaling have been the biggest timewaster in my career: 1. In some large businesses I've worked in, so many people have been hired that some systems and processes have…

There are a couple of subreddits related to this. Perhaps you will find them useful: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/ https://old.reddit.com/r/degoogle/

I forgot that there's an "11.0.0" as well. Perhaps others have been added since.

You should be able to make it think you have another card: export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 The possible values are said to be: # gfx1030 = "10.3.0" # gfx900 = "9.0.0" # gfx9…

D. It's quite C-like, but more concise, has a richer standard library, garbage collection, threading, etc. etc.

For looking at the commit history rather than the files, apparently one can use git-ls-remote .

Perhaps something like this to get just one commit with no large files: git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:limit=100k

Recompressing an already lossily compressed file is almost guaranteed to produce information loss, whereas storage media is getting cheaper and cheaper over time. An 18TB hard disk…

Retirement?

The "Open Location Code" is often mentioned on Hacker News, but is sadly neither open, nor a location code. To pick one example, if you go to 0°06'40.6"S 28°56'27.0"E (-0.111271, 2…

Binary search and similar forms of successive approximation. It can be used to solve such a wide array of problems given just a minimal amount of information.

That sounds more like what a proprietary licence would be used for. You could license both the binaries and the source code under this proprietary licence and provide them to users…

In some specializations of programming, you're going to need a lot of those things. For instance, working with game engines, scientific simulations, image or signal processing, fin…

Oh, they have content on there still? I thought it was just ads.

The problem with plus codes it they're neither open nor codes. Try taking the alleged decoding algorithm and decode this one straight from Google Maps: "7W87+RRX Odesan, Sør-Sudan"…

Ico? Although it's got mild violence in it.

#1 can perhaps be taken at face value. People do write code differently, and many people don't want to even touch code written in a different style. Learning how to write code in s…

The $500k in savings means that you actually have the option to step off the corporate treadmill and consider what else you want to do with your life if you so desire. Even if it w…

It would be better to call this negligent collection. After all, the data collection feature didn't make its way into the browser by accident. It was added on purpose and against u…
