Well 500 million alone would come from "software". Which is "required" to be up to date for diagnostics, to fix anything else. https://www.thedailyupside.com/industries/tractor-giant-john...

It also depends on how often samples are taken. If it only occurs every hour, Fred in his white shirt is highly unlikely to be standing in the exact same spot still. Remember, these are only seed values, a pseudorandom number generator will

To give context to this, the person didn't post a study in which anyone died, instead a study that claims 2 people have died in 2 separate studies. Despite this claim, it actually only references one of these studies, the second one is

You're right, this is more for web applications than for desktop applications.

As someone who is a penetration tester, I can assure you that this is a TERRIBLE idea. Look up "CWE-200". While you are correct that this might help someone fix an issue, I can assure you it will help MANY more people to understan

I can only speak for the society I live in, Australia. I'm glad you perceive yours (wherever that is) to be doing much better. I hope you use that privilege to enrich your fellow man instead of just bragging online.

Of course, anyone always has the option to volunteer to make the world a better place; but the idea that anyone has a responsibility, or moral obligation to help a society that is actively hostile towards them is insanity.

I would say that one has as much responsibility to society, as that society accepts for the individual. As a previously homeless veteran, I'd say that is zero. Why should intellectuals, or in fact anyone have any duty to help a system

I don't necessarily think it is how you were brought up, and probably more to do with personality. As an introvert, I don't have the talk time to continuously put out feelers, I just gotta ask.

Based on the product description, it seems that they don't like text, and want to deal in objects. It would feel strange if they did support a terminal, rather than a GUI.

BSD can be a better choice for a variety of reasons. Firstly business reasons BSD has more permissive licences than Linux's GNU licence which compels you to share any modifications you make to the software. BSD uses the MIT licenses wh

In Object Oriented programming, yes, arrays are objects and the functions are a property of another object that can perform instructions on the data of the Array Object. Similarly in Lisp, (a list-oriented language) both functions and array

I'd say this study is inherently flawed. As I am sure most people know on the Internet these days that just because X states their 'likes' are 'anonymous', doesn't mean they are. I think the potential reputatio

TL;DR, the author claims that you should record the reasons for change, rather than the code changes themselves... CONGRATULATIONS: you have just 'invented' documentation, specifically a CHANGE_LOG.

No, the permissions are very granular compared to Stock Android. I can't remember all of them from scratch, but by way of example Graphene allows for 'contact scopes', which sets permissions for which contacts you will share

If you want to find which apps are the worst at this use GrapheneOS. Amazon flat out REFUSES to work unless it has unfettered access to everything.

Akchooally, if you want to get specific, in computer science terms it is referred to as a tack, not a hyphen or an n-dash.

While this is a good thought.... Do you really trust the Government to implement a cryptographically verified assertion correctly, and not track which website is making the request, for which individual at what time, and then cross referenc
