About half of these designs would confuse me. Some would make me right out refusing to run your software - even from the installation step. I get it that designers like to innovate…

I stopped reading at "...that don’t have dangerous capabilities..."

Back when [1] it was fashionable to advocate FOSS as ideology [2], we were thinking about tons of FOSS adversaries and how to protect from them - some real, some imaginary. The dea…

2:410/3 here. These were some of the best days!

> Not even Trump would resort to murder to get rid of his domestic adversaries Don't give them ideas

I heard there's a country where they can even SWAT you out of existence with a simple phone call, but it sounds so outrageous this must be some evil communist dictatorship third-wo…

Not just C++. Even C parsing is context-dependent because of typedef. Requires a bit of hackery to parse in a conventional LL/LARL/LR parser.

All these issues having been solved already in kiosk setups.

No, we aren't. It was this exact part of the conversation that touched me negatively too. marsf expresses some very valid criticism that, instead of being publicly addressed, is be…

And how would they know if my cheese has holes, given that there is a non-zero probability that a random cut over a piece of cheese goes through no holes at all? They would have to…

It's always DNS, except when it's BGP.

They're warning everybody, not just Singaporeans. It's just that Singaporeans are the most likely to go travel abroad, have some fun, and then come back like nothing has happened. …

Nowadays the Indonesian law requires at least two words for the person's full name, and the full name is regarded as a single entity no matter how many words it contains. Older gen…

Most (though not all) Greek surnames are also gendered. The common practice is to inherit your fathers surname, changing the gender if you're born female. For example, a quite comm…

Geez, you left yourselves behind. We Greeks at some point decided that 3 /i/'s are just not enough for us, so we invented some diphthongs (ει, οι) also pronounced /i/ :D

Even the assumption that people have (something that can be used as) a last name is incorrect. Currently I'm living in Indonesia, where a surprisingly large number of people have j…

Did you ever travel internationally along with only one of your parents? I know of many cases around the world where authorities will definitely cause you some trouble if you try t…

As a software engineer born outside the anglosphere, I am immensely cautious to have every formal record of my personal details byte-identical. Obligatory read: https://www.kalzume…

At last, they found something that is cheaper to manufacture in US. It's a good start.
