Agreed that the problem here is Firefox, untrusted JS code should not cause a crash.

For the probing, according to the code:

    // Can't push large frames blindly on windows, so we must touch frame memory
    // incrementally, with no more than 4096 - 1 bytes between touches.
    //
    // This is used across all platforms for simplicity.

> There were expensive servers you could call for porn and gambling as well.

And one of those adult servers became one of the principal French ISPs and a major telecom company: Free/Iliad.

I like that english idioms translated literally make sense in Québec, such as "ça fait du sens" for "it makes sense".

I realized this specific one is a bit controversial while searching for it, here is something I found on the website of the Government of Canada about it: https://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/fr/chroniques-de-l...

My favorite Algerian loanword is "mickeyettes" for "cartoons" which comes from Mickey Mouse.

Or maybe they're hangover, in which case: opt-in = it won't send telemetry unless you enable it.

I really liked that look. The first iOS versions also had a similar pattern in the background: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/setting-custom-...

I always felt like scalability and growth aren't goals here, which is something I like to be honest.

It sounds like it will support both AR and VR use-cases, with smooth transitions in between by detecting people around you or through the digital crown.

They also announced official support in the SDK for CrossOver (Wine). [0] It could be part of a strategy to support existing VR apps for Windows.

I have 3 cats still living with their mother and they all do it. She had a strong maternal instinct, but lost it once they grew up, and now she hates all of them, which is apparently the expected behaviour.

This is the case for all digital travel tickets though, no?

Might not count as modern, but the original Reddit and HackerNews codebases:

The real killer feature in Monero is privacy by obfuscating transactions. Using an exchange wallet tied to your government identity for private transactions defeats the purpose because a bad actor could access the exchange database, like with a traditional bank account.

Send money from the exchange to a local anonymous wallet (like the official one [0]), and then use that wallet for private stuff.

Ironically it might increase privacy for naive users, as they won't make the mistake of making sensitive Monero transactions using an online exchange wallet.

What about Azure Cortana?

I went through the same and ended up disabling ProMotion on my 16 MBP because a bug makes this animation run twice as long on 120 FPS screens.

I think GP meant zero-copy communication with the GPU, eg. through `newBufferWithBytesNoCopy` [0], which is only possible with unified memory architectures, eg. integrated GPUs.

The mmap change was just about mapping the model files in memory instead of copying them, which has less overhead.

> understand user pain points with the UX. why were people using third party apps?

Mostly ads, are you going to remove that? How are you going to explain the revenue loss to the board?

> invest in some PR or similar to change peoples view of what Reddit is

They already do that, maybe you'd like to increase the PR budget? It might be tricky with the ad revenue loss.

> try to understand why users like Twitter how Reddit could attract those users over to Reddit to post content

They also already do that, the whole redesign with individual comments taking 240px height and user avatars are the result of that.

I'm not saying the executive team cannot do better, but doing it without getting kicked out is incredibly hard.

You can download browsers on Linux based on the same engine as Safari. https://webkit.org/downloads/

> Tesla self-driving is better than a bad human driver.

I have big doubts regarding this claim. I could not find any source that is not Tesla.

Given that TFA is about Tesla deceiving and hiding information from customers, do you have any source that isn't Tesla or Musk?

They should not be able to do that on the browser too, even with Widevine.

I really like what you did, great work! Please post it whenever you feel it's ready. I'd love to see the code too.

I think the Moorefield and Merrifield SOC platforms are not PC compatible?

I guess today's equivalent VLIW chip would be Tachyum Prodigy, not super confident about it.. https://www.tachyum.com/products/#products-prodigy

In every office I worked at, more than 20% were drunk at 2 PM. I would say it was more like 35%.

I don't like being around people on hard drugs, especially at work, so not having to deal with that is a huge plus!

My understanding is that those DB trains migrated to using HVO fuel, which is renewable.

No, it seems most spammers here use cheap SIMs without spoofing (which seems to be what OP is about). They even leave voicemail messages asking to call back.

But spoofing is also something that should be fixed. I know it's difficult because of VoIP and backwards-compatibility, but it's not impossible either.

Maybe a standarized national system to report spam, or maybe even as part of the cellular protocol? I never heard of such a system deployed nationally, but I'm wondering if it could help.

Most of the time when a spam number calls me, I can find it through spam reports on 3rd party websites by googling it.

Interesting story, from being part of the team that looked for himself, to his successful escape from prison. He was able to successfully land with the money using the same modus operandi. And lots of physical similarities to the suspect drawing.
