A lot of articles and videos are reporting on this, but so far there's very little comprehensive information about what brands don't do this. Clearly, the 25 major brands examined by Mozilla collect a ton of data. Allegedly, BYD d

With regards to GOG and privacy, though, it's worth noting that GOG write that they "may use Google Adwords, Doubleclick, Sizmek Versatag, Yandex.Metrica, Twitter Pixel or Facebook Pixel and other similar technologies" as wel

As far as adoption is concerned, I'm not sure it should be that big of a concern. After all, D is supported by GCC and Clang and continually being maintained, and if updates stopped coming at some point in the future, anyone who knew a

Many projects have taken longer and been more stressful and had worse outcomes than needed. A lot of the work being done hasn't even been intended to deliver any business value, but to provide an opportunity for one or more people to b

Problems with scaling have been the biggest timewaster in my career: 1. In some large businesses I've worked in, so many people have been hired that some systems and processes have wound up being controlled by entirely different people

There are a couple of subreddits related to this. Perhaps you will find them useful: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/ https://old.reddit.com/r/degoogle/

I forgot that there's an "11.0.0" as well. Perhaps others have been added since.

You should be able to make it think you have another card: export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 The possible values are said to be: # gfx1030 = "10.3.0" # gfx900 = "9.0.0" # gfx906 = "9.0.6" # gfx

D. It's quite C-like, but more concise, has a richer standard library, garbage collection, threading, etc. etc.

For looking at the commit history rather than the files, apparently one can use git-ls-remote .

Perhaps something like this to get just one commit with no large files: git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:limit=100k

Recompressing an already lossily compressed file is almost guaranteed to produce information loss, whereas storage media is getting cheaper and cheaper over time. An 18TB hard disk is now within the budget of many people, and they're l

The "Open Location Code" is often mentioned on Hacker News, but is sadly neither open, nor a location code. To pick one example, if you go to 0°06'40.6"S 28°56'27.0"E (-0.111271, 28.940829) in Google Maps, it&#

Binary search and similar forms of successive approximation. It can be used to solve such a wide array of problems given just a minimal amount of information.

That sounds more like what a proprietary licence would be used for. You could license both the binaries and the source code under this proprietary licence and provide them to users.

In some specializations of programming, you're going to need a lot of those things. For instance, working with game engines, scientific simulations, image or signal processing, finance, or simply making the base software and libraries

Oh, they have content on there still? I thought it was just ads.

The problem with plus codes it they're neither open nor codes. Try taking the alleged decoding algorithm and decode this one straight from Google Maps: "7W87+RRX Odesan, Sør-Sudan" Did you notice how you can't "deco

#1 can perhaps be taken at face value. People do write code differently, and many people don't want to even touch code written in a different style. Learning how to write code in someone else's style can be interesting and rewardi

The $500k in savings means that you actually have the option to step off the corporate treadmill and consider what else you want to do with your life if you so desire. Even if it won't be enough in San Francisco, it might be enough to

It would be better to call this negligent collection. After all, the data collection feature didn't make its way into the browser by accident. It was added on purpose and against users' will.

If you have a PhD in CS, your intelligence is probably above average. A former boss of mine in the software business told me that it generally takes five years to become attractive to employers. If you're three years in and struggling

From what you're saying, it sounds like it's time to consult a lawyer, preferably yesterday. When the university hears from your lawyer, chances are they'll find the bug.

By the way, this image format can match PNG in terms of size if combined with another form of lossless compression, so if we allow for that extra complexity, something like QOI + Zstandard could possibly compete with PNG in terms of both si

Some of the examples use grammar I don't quite recognize: "メッセージを送なさい。" "書類を読むの為に開ける" I think I would have said "送りなさい" and "読む為に". Hopefully, Haku is or can be made flexible enough to handle tha

Perhaps you'd consider an open-source alternative. https://podman.io/ is often mentioned as an alternative to Docker, and is meant to be drop-in compatible.

Many other languages have similar mechanisms to the Java streams API. Scheme, and probably Lisp in general, is well known for it. Then we have Ruby, Crystal, Python, D, JavaScript... I can't think of other languages that have something
