Although I agree heartily with the idea of a push model for search engines, I can't help but notice that it seems to provide more centralisation to the search engines out there. He…

It definitely gets a bit murky when dealing with mbcs, when you want characters spanning multiple bytes rather than individual bytes. I understand the topic is strXxx() funcs which…

Why should people have to buy extra services for a non free piece of hardware just to remain ad free on that hardware? Apple is double dipping here (probably triple dipping if you …

Perhaps rather than assuming that the other should lower their weapons first, it might be more prudent to lower your own first.

The author explains why it's on GH. > I’ve worked with this code as a researcher and I use it to teach my classes, so it’s important to me that it stays easily-accessible on a majo…

DNS support is no where near Unicode. At best we get local language support for non-ASCII domains, but everyone else will see it as punycode. Of course, phishing is one good reason…

I wish everyone knew about Edward Bernays, nephew of Freud, and father of modern propaganda, aka public relations, aka marketing.¹² It's a real eye opener to be able to notice when…

Have a look at their timeline. Very impressive, 3 mins from first sign (2 mins from first report), the domain is blocked. (Edited a bit for brevity & mobiles) > 22:49 UTC Attacker …

I was thinking of the twitter breach - just mention CF in your tweets or profile and become a target. It should be a simple matter for CF to figure out which is the case. It would …

I've been a long time away from CPU architecture, but isn't it time that instructions are added that target the caches so that they only fetch the size of the data allocated? That …

I'm using and developing on a 2013 MBA, thank you. Phones become obsolete because the underlying tech has been going through large changes, but I can certainly get more than 5 year…

ElectroBOOM on youtube has 5.2M subscribers and that's exactly what he does: Every video he zaps himself, but while also trying to be educational. I prefer EEVBlog as a result: No …

Due to government tactics, a lot of australians are now deliberately using cash a) for the privacy b) as a statement against orwellian mechanisms. I find it really sad when people …
