    On top of being worth less, the subscriber discounts are gone. The old plans were $0.033/request for Pro, $0.026/request for Pro+ and $0.04/request for pay-as-you-go. That discount…

    No surprise that a tool that can run shell scripts, open URLs, etc. is flagged down on Windows where AV try to detect such trojan methods.

    An 125 kHz RFID reader would be a way simpler and cheaper solution. Could still have a 3D-printed box/slot.

    The Office365 online and desktop implementations of zip could be different.

    Rather one long function than does one thing well than multiple function that are strongly coupled and difficult to reason about. Programmers who apply dogmas can be harmful.

    I think it is more expectation about expectation. You buy/sell based on whether you expect other people to expect earn or lose. It is self-referential, hence irrational. If a new p…

    Banknotes have serial numbers. Don't think that they are impossible to track.

    When C was conceived, CPU architectures and platforms were more varied than what we see today. In order to remain portable and yet performant, some details were left as either impl…

    Does this prevent other software running on the same hardware from accessing the keychain? E.g. on Windows, any program can access the entirety of the credential store for the curr…

    Sure, if that is the only program, but it is not. This kind of thinking drains batteries faster than necessary, drains the cache, and reduces CPU efficiency. sleep() is a wasteful …

    rclone and restic are not direct alternatives. They have a slight overlap, but are also different. Rclone is more versatile for moving/copying files. Restic has snapshotting, pruni…

    Both use subpixel rendering is that it is specific to the display where it is shown. You need the same subpixel ordering and you can't really scale it. Your preference may be corre…

    I still like to believe that the upfront cost will be offset by the lower long term maintenance cost for some types of software. Except, that that is not always the case for gamede…

    Keyboard navigation needs some improvement. It's not easy to navigate because you are blocked from correct guesses. Also, it wanted me to guess "SASHA", but the hint was for "Sacha…

    Agreed. They'd have a much better chance focusing on specific deceptive business practices. The EU would be more likely to require explicit and clear labeling of what it is that yo…

    As a European, and avid gamer, I support part of the intent here, but I don't think that this has any chance of causing any kind of practical change. The petition is way too broad …
