He's being a prima donna. Edits by a third-party get reviewed, there is no way you could accept that edit (which was from a different account) without allowing other random people to edit his posts in the same way. You can't blame stack overflow for erring of the side on respecting the author's intent.

By probe, you mean scripting? It sounds a bit complicated compared to a checkbox on the payment screen.

Web 3.0 is the semantic web, thank you very much.

For reference, that shaves between 1 and 2€/month and makes a small instance 17% cheaper: https://www.gandi.net/hosting/iaas/prices

Is anything really fixed-length? ISO country codes had a 2-char standard that got upgraded to a 3-char one, and RFC 5646 language codes are variable length. Plan for an extensible API, and just make sure that you control what data ends up on those tables.

re.pl is invaluable to the modern Perl programmer (as is cpanm).

You keep posting about things that are not in fact law: the Ubuntu trademark policy, and an arbitration procedure TLDs use. Until you understand the difference, you are derailing the conversation.

This is more a consequence of PR being cheap (nicely packaged chunks of the article at no cost) and journalism expensive. If the NYTimes stopped playing by various players' be-nice rules, they would still have access (they have enough relevance that blacklisting them would hurt), but it would be more expensive to produce.

The policy is just an offer: we won't bother you if you do it like this.

moocowduckquack is explaining that the law already gives rights and obligations wrt trademark use.

It's helpful to know the difference between public law and contracts; they have the same effects (creating rights and obligations), but public law applies to everyone (within a jurisdiction) and contracts don't.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD (there's a link that tells who might have approved this) claim sources within the administration and put out their position, but didn't manage any reporting on the object of these negotiations (a draft treaty) and lack the critical skills to even mention that this document has stayed private. I see it as similar to their support of the WMD story: quite possibly fiction but critical thinking didn't enter the picture.

The fields appear immediately, the demo actually does this:

    $("#mine").submit( function() {
    $("#hide").css("height","auto");

Even if it showed you the fields, it wouldn't be conclusive proof of a privacy leak. Firefox shows links visited without exposing that property outside of render context: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2010/03/31/plugging-the-cs...

So it's overlearning, and it's hard to improve on that with the deliberately limited inputs.

Btrfs snapshots are implemented using COW-shared trees (multiple trees for data and metadata). They can't be implemented with hardlinks, that would be a very leaky abstraction.

Chromium installs Greasemonkey userscripts as normal extensions (minus update support). This tool turns them into XPIs: https://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/script-compiler.php

"very low overhead but maximum possible contention" → an accurate description of the GIL

Twisted is 99% ported and already packaged in Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/python3-twisted-experiment...

If you were deploying web servers on embedded devices without planning for easy and painless upgrades, joke's on you. That's terrible for your client's security.

Mozilla working on the web platform has more impact. The sites that still rely on a Java plugin were expecting binary compatibility and a big vendor's security support because that sounds cheapest long term, now that it doesn't happen, heads in the sand or a web port are a lot more likely than forking Java.

Android is Linux, just not desktop Linux. A line which is blurring, with Ubuntu on phones and Android on laptops.

Nothing in the web platform lets you use raw (or TCP/UDP/etc) sockets. At most you could do VPN-style networking and use a bridge to talk to the rest of the internet; that bridge needs someone to host it.

1. Pick a license. You'll probably want something compatible with Qemu (GPL2+).

2. Ship a COPYING file, add a header to your files: https://github.com/osterman/copyright-header

Which changes shortcuts and removes some keyboard layout customisations, sigh.

That repo needs a bit of tweaking though: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ#I_am_using_a_non-LT...

That's IE8 at most, which has been keeping the same compatibility bugs since its release. MS was giving IE the same minimal support the rest of the OS gets, because XP is old and paid for and shouldn't compete with their current products, so I wouldn't expect them to go beyond the call of duty now.

Redshift is doing pretty great: 3044K resident, 560K with shared libraries amortised in gnome system monitor.

It's pretty crappy (no autolocation, broken option processing, still barebones functionality). Doesn't seem actively developed, and definitely not trying to do better than redshift.

introcessionable? Google doesn't know that word, you get to define it.
