Wouldn't the compiler optimize this to an array lookup?

    static const char* countries[257];

Or even:

    static const char countrycodes[514];
    return countrycodes[i * 2];

Python has a lot of crazy metaprogramming capabilities. Ability to inspect stacks, override import, and more...

The ones they removed are not commonly used at all.

I told him about part of a local school district. He politely told me, if he were a student, it would make him hate the system, even though the rules are very reasonable.

I asked Remind– a teacher-student communication app– to remove pings to Facebook ads, DoubleClick.net, and Google Ad Services from their site when students viewed messages. Allegedly they were being used to track the performance of ads they bought, and that the ad companies promised in their ToS not to use it for ad targeting. They were polite and removed it after 2 weeks. Last time I checked they added Twitter ads analytics again...

".ngo" requires validation of an organization's status as a Non-Governmental organization. It is administered by the same registry as .org.

It's the only "blocking app" that's been helpful. Some apps do a hard block, but that just tempts you to disable. Some apps add a delay, but it's annoying so I disable it. Instead Intention reminds you of how much time you spent, asks you how much time you want to spend, and regularly reminds you to stop. A soft block, so to speak.

A pruned node is a full node. A full node is any node that is fully validating. A pruned node is fully validating;

"Full nodes download every block and transaction and check them against Bitcoin's consensus rules." (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node#Archival_Nodes)

Pruned nodes do just that.

The blockchain data structure means that once verified, you don't need to store old blocks. You only need the most recent blocks to verify new ones.

The nodes you're talking about, that store the entire blockchain, is called an archival node.

Anyway, encouraging people to install full nodes, pruned or not– which enforces the rules– improves Bitcoin's decentralization.[0]

Right now (9AM EST) a low priority txn costs $0.49, medium priority costs $0.57, and high priority costs $0.66.

Most payments– imagine hiring a contractor or buying a Starbucks gift card– don't need to go through instantly.

You only need to store the most recent blocks for security to verify new blocks. 5GB– the minimum Bitcoin Knots, a variant of Bitcoin Core, allows 3 days of blocks. A chain rewrite/51% attack is unlikely to last 3 days because of the probabilistic grantees.

How does Bitcoin "enforce new rules" without creating a hard fork?

A Bitcoin full node only takes 5GB of disk space to run, and 256MB of memory.

I think you meant to ask the best maintained how-to sites for GNU command line utilities.

Upload to a decentralized service like PeerTube or Odysee instead.

Doesn't seem to support Handshake, .eth, or Namecoin.

Their old terms of use: "When you click on a link, our server will send you the corresponding page."

I wonder what changed and made them add the new terms of use.

Just use a CDN like CloudFront or Cloudflare. S3 is for storage, not retrieval. Building your own poorly distributed not at edge psuedo-CDN won't help as using a real edge CDN. Edge CDNs are closer.

Note that HTML allows you to avoid quoting parameters to make them easier to type:

    <html lang=en class=no-js>

This is a feature React lacks.

Maybe they could use a FOSS YouTube client like Nvidious. Or even install a freedom-respecting and open source decentralized solution such as Odysee (LBRY) or PeerTube, and ask people to post there.

Dlang (https://dlang.org) avoids all these mistakes through careful language design and compiler-enforced checks.

Fun fact: stallmansupport.org was created by a group of women.

I'd buy digital wallpaper drawn in the style of the heading image.

DP is basically brute-force but you can reuse some of the subproblems.

Another approach is trying to find a "starting point" and solving subproblems. Imagine an array of problems and starting at the left.

I hope Amtrak is capable of using these funds in a non-corrupt way.

Yes.

People often forget the freedom to modify or hire someone to modify for you is an important part of open source.

I was looking for people to do small atomic tasks. Short frontend tasks, specifically.

Trust is currency. Trust is an asset.
