US's DoJ fined Microsoft for bundling a web browser into its own OS. EU is the apprentice.

ffmpeg and x265 allow you to do this too. frame-threads=1 will use 1 thread per frame addressing the issue OP mentioned, without big perf penalty, in contrary to 'pools' switch which sets the threads to be used for encoding.

Memory mapped files also known as sections in VMS/NT have just two advantages:

  * Fewer context switches among user space / kernel syscalls

  * No need to copy _modified_ data into the swap. The behavior for read only data doesn't change

That's it, nothing miraculous about it.

If you want the old stricter Google behavior be sure to check the "Verbatim" option under 'tools', or add "&tbs=li:1" to your uri. Around 2008 Google started testing a new search engine logic, codenamed caffeine?, which eventually became the default. Without being sure, I think verbatim uses the old engine which wasn't trying to be smarter than you and your query, certainly is stricter and reminds the old Google a lot.

Ultimately this 'frustration' is always caused by loose typing/inexistent data model and not by the iterability of strings itself.

Agreed. A good tip for this is to try to find the earliest version/commit of the project you are interested into.

it's subjective of course, but I find context manager decorators very pythonic, I still remember the 'whoa! that's beautiful' moment when I 1st learned about them.

But most importantly, generators as enclosures are used everywhere today with the whole async-await paradigm.

It's wet :) (under water surface)

The claim of the article that mount Everest is the tallest point from the earth's center happens because earth's surface, relative to its size, is as smooth as a billiard ball. Even the tallest mountains are nothing. So high mountains located at the equator can easily "outperform" higher mountains elsewhere.

And who is going to stop them, when even multi-million companies just shallow the pill(like GDPR) and even try to market it positively that they are gonna adopt it first.

So how do they know if the response with the data a user requests, are all we've got about them, and if indeed where stored the proper way?

Plus it gives easy access to the government to peek at your data without any significant clause. Your data are theirs too now.

he probably haven't heard the term "Revolving door". Simple study of antitrust policies would reveal him that this is the case.

they still pick the opinions they publish.

but... i think you can attach it to an existing chrome with remote debugging enabled, so not that big a deal!

The irony here is that this kind of styling used in this devtools example(hovering over one element, highlighting another), cannot be done by css itself.

A fun book I recommend is the 'Invisible Hook' by Leeson.

Excellent as a summer book, a Libertarian view on the subject with good info on pirates even if you don't agree with the author's view.

I know, you could also just put {} around quotation marks and would work. My and parent's point was that it will probably flood MS's support channels, if you just force every cmd user into PS.

Agreed. I like PS too but forcing it breaks a lot of staff, you cant use it interchangeably, eg 2 quickies:

    -bcdedit /c {xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx} (= {..} is parsed as a code block)
    -invoking executables with spaces in path

here's a youtube live link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUUd4S3FBrQ

If I am not terribly mistaken, WinJS has been declared obsolete by MS themselves. So Fabric is your new bet if you 're willing to take one ;)

Not in Azure SQL

Also, isn't AWS billing per utilization/hour? For small projects this means it is many times cheaper than Azure. Azure is more focused to enterprises than to individual devs.

From the point of view of a frontend dev front, things aren't much different:

security guy: You accumulate lots of experience over the years, where most errors happen, common culprits, but you _know_ the actual application of these ideas will always be different over time.

frontend guy: You gain lots of experience over time about common architectures, common best practices, common tooling, you _hope_ that the knowledge you accumulated will stay relevant over the following years, but in reality, except some basic concepts, everything changes. :)

I really liked his post. He pointed out to some deep issues like "Intellectual honesty" which I've been concerned about too(yea even in math) but I don't think the security sector is immune to these.

are you aware of html5 fetch? It suffices most of the time but again not compete replacement(if you want to get xml for example)

That's how NYT is doing business for a long time now, where's the surprise really?

We run out of things we could possibly run out of!!!

All these limitations are(or were?) very well known facts. Modern republics(representative democracies), the existence of senates, all try to address this. Ancient Athenians had gone much further with the establishment of Sortition(random election of representatives).

We call random people to vote for issues out of their expertise and we enforce the rule of the majority to everyone.(what happens to the 48% who voted remain?). This is obviously ridiculous but everyone is brainwashed as we learn at school that democracy is like the biggest invention of mankind. Athenians at least were allowed to ridicule it all the time.

yeah, it was such a great question for coding exams at college, what is the difference between x++ and ++x?

It also helped you write smellier code, with the exception of using it in for..loops' 'signature definition'.

For...loops in swift and generally elsewhere are being superseded by for...each loops like python's(and other languages)

In relation to how modern and competitive the dev community is. As far as the 'off shore taxing', bear in mind that media exaggerate a lot, it can be done, but you MUST have a good support team of accountants and lawyers.

plus political uncertainty. Do you have any experience with Cyprus? From what I ve heard Cyprus isnt that great either.
