Michael Jackson in the 70s too, right? But also Jackson died before 2010 and so whatever was top 40 was written previously?

Do people ever type all this obscura in any reality? Seems a bit ridiculous to me.

The conventional way to save files is to write a new file and only as the last step do a rename. This solves the crash corruption problem. Does Inkscape not do this?

Facebook uses it and it's been pretty reliable, but the office and most users have decent network connections.

Can't Google Voice numbers be outside the US? I've read of foreigners trying to take over Google Voice numbers so they can use them like they are in US.

Usually the account phone number and the password reset number can be different. I don't know if Venmo does that.

OK but I'm very suspicious about their ability to do that properly. I want a solution that cannot be socially engineered around, which I fear is the case here.

Journalists and their publications don't give a crap about scientific truth. They care about maximizing clicks and traffic. If a group of scientists give them the truth and another group gives them a more sensational story, they'l

The article implies that they weren't paying millions. Am I reading that right?

Zoom knows exactly what end-to-end encryption means, and always has. Most likely their marketing group didn't like their engineering group telling them this nice buzzword didn't apply and intentionally chose to misuse it.

I've never heard of a bank account being compromised because of lack of e2e encryption by Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. When that happens then post about it and I'll start caring.

Claiming they have end to end encryption when they don't.

The companies selling video streaming and conferencing have other issues, such as service costs. And they typically don't retain very good engineering teams.

The EA/DICE Frostbite engine has worked like this for many years now.

It's possible that 150K was a number reported by somebody else, with a motivation for reporting a very high number. I'm not saying I'm convinced the number is lower, but just as much as there are entities that under-report de

Windows 10 doesn't work the way you claim all desktop OSs do.

I'd love to see a compiler warn me that it's doing something potentially unexpected due to UB considerations.

I won't buy foods that say "lower sodium", "lower fat", etc. on the packaging. It's not because I'm illogical like the article suggests, but rather that 80% of the time such foods do in fact taste worse.

Long enough from now that we'll forget, in case they conclude they can't do it without jeopardizing ad revenue.

Microsoft is in fact gaining a lot of traction in this space despite how late they were. They could actually surpass AWS. Chrome dominates despite being late, though partly due to being rammed by Google/Android, though it was also clea

Seems like a variation of the price gouging people have been inflamed about recently.

I don't know anybody who thinks code performance is the most important aspect of "general purpose programming languages". Everybody I know who thinks C is good for performance recognizes it's for specific applications (O

The point of the article is that the author wants compilers to tell users when they do unexpected things. I don't see how your point is relevant to that.

Yeah, though that's largely irrelevant to the point of this document.

They may seem to beef up your resume, but whenever I saw resumes with IBM patents I would ignore the pstents or give them much less weight than any other patents.

You think Tesla is being mean or evil when they have a part supply problem? That seems to be what you are saying.
