I didn't spend much time looking at it, but to me the code looks more like C than C++ lol

Even things like SpinLock, which I was expecting to use class for RAII, looks like it was implemented using C, then with a C++ wrapper: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/zircon/+/master/kernel/incl...

So to me (I'm no C/C++/Kernel/etc. expert) it looks like they are writing the kernel mostly in C, with C++ goodies sprinkled in some places, where it's useful (ie: RAII for spinlock guard)

How? I'm at work (so tracking me personally by IP is probably hard since there's hundreds of different people using the same IP) and using an incognito window. Using a different browser (that I used once or twice), incognito again, gives me the same result.

Well that's on DuckDuckGo. They could make it more obvious if they wanted. Interestingly, when searching duck, DuckDuckGo went from 2nd to 1st.

It's the second result on Google, too: https://www.google.com/search?q=duck

Perhaps you should educate yourself on trans people.

So they just heard about Vine, and decided to deprecate the API the same day? That doesn't sound right to me. That conversation seems to indicate they just wanted to block them ASAP (same day), nothing to do with deprecation?

Correct! First available release was in 1979 according to the wiki, so almost 40 years.

Would have to wait until like mid-2019, as they didn't open-source everything yet :( Currently only has System.Xaml

Damn I've been working wrong all this time! I didn't know because I write some of the code I get to make the product decisions!

I doubt the engineers make the privacy decisions?

That doesn't seem right?

Says: The GPU rigid body feature provides GPU-accelerated implementations of:

- Broad Phase

- Contact generation

- Shape and body management

- Constraint solver

But it's immutable (until it isn't)!

Also, you can use a tool like https://www.npmjs.com/package/source-map-explorer to see if there's code in your bundle you don't expect!

Yay, it's comparing apples to pears!

What is a Toroid used for and why does it need to be winded differently for different bands? Is it what generates the signals that get transmitted by the antenna?

It's also great for interpolation

WoW is ST CPU-bound :( until next patch!

Is there a modern/past player here? Both companies were founded within a year - 2008 and 2009

I don't understand how it's anti-spam - they are getting charged for receiving messages, not sending them?

I worked for a betting company for a bit, and they actually liked people who were great at betting. They get flagged along with the sport/league they are good at, and the traders used these people to adjust their lines.

If someone bets and wins often on a specific sport/league, and they make a big bet for it that doesn't really make sense, maybe the line is wrong or that person knows something everyone else doesn't.

It's a good start, but you're supposed to do it more than once iirc.

Isn't that a very slippery slope? Maybe it should be enough to trigger extra monitoring/background check, especially since the driver has a lot of power over the customer, but just fire the driver without any due process?

What's preventing anyone who doesn't like you from getting you fired?

or people putting random emails to get to the next screen/download link

Likewise, something is saying that their bank only works through www.bank.com. But the URL says bank.com. If they try to type in bank.com it doesn't work.

But hey, now we don't have to see www which has been around forever and is a surprise to no one!

I've heard CBD helps with the creativity, but without the downside of short-term memory loss. Maybe something to try.

How does it not happen more often?
