The HashSet would be the owner of the IP address type. Your function would call the "take" method of the HashSet to take ownership of the IP address. Now the IP address cannot go b…

If you're using React.useCallback to avoid triggering further hooks down the line, then you're using it wrong. Since React.useCallback is ostensibly just React.useMemo wrapped arou…

I have a few reason why I almost exclusively shop online at Amazon. I try to trust as few companies as possible with my credit card details. Amazon having nearly anything I need ma…

There's nothing wrong with hoping a freely licensed open source competitor will come along and lower the cost of developing in the space. PyQT are free to extract fees from the eco…

For me it's not that Google is more trustworthy, but that their influence and abuse of monopoly position doesn't affect me as much. As a developer I'm well aware of my options for …

They should also add a toggle that prevents the client from retransmission to unknown keys without human approval.

Then don't use a messenger that promises end-to-end encryption. Client side encryption is all about ensuring only clients that hold private keys can read messages delivered to them…

Thibault simply wants to deliver the best online chess experience. Period. It's purely donation driven and he pulls a small salary from whatever's leftover after buying enough serv…

My bigger issue that two clients cannot be listening to music at the same time, even if you're a paying member. I'll often forget to stop streaming the music at work and start list…

Something tells me we'd see a direct correlation between the amount of lobbying and the amount of legal backing your "product" needs in order to have value (copyright protection, p…

Also no way to hide what you buy from your family, friends, co-workers, employer, future employers, etc. No way to hide what your company spends its money on from its competitors. …

Guild Wars focused on your synergy with your party. The content got harder but your character stats didn't improve. You got a few new skills at your disposal (and eventually 1 elit…

I use NoScript as well (and I wish more people would) but to be fair I doubt the users who were part of the botnet even noticed it at all. It's only github who would've benefited f…

And yet the whole thing doesn't load if you block javascript. No content at all.

Even on more modern Pokemon systems (nintendo DS) you could upload a pokemon to the cloud servers and watch the network traffic lights on your router. Shut off your DS as soon as y…
