Power lines and pylons are superficially the same all over the world, but differ in details we subconsiously remember. The power lines in DayZ felt like home.

There are also Rivers - when spaces between words on multiple lines align vertically. Harder to control for than widows and orphans.

In my experience, GDPR works wonders here. After saying I do not wish my personal information to be processed and revoke any consents a few times I do not receive these calls anymore.

It seems application state is mainly maintained in the widgets. Reminds me of Delphi. Is there a similar concept for representing state in a well-suited data structures, that can be created and composed visually like the UI widgets?

My reasons to hate XML: - element vs attribute ambiguity - model of the document does not fit nicely to programming model of structs, dicts and arrays - too many complexities (entities, cdata, parser directives) - cardinality unknown withou

I'd love if that UI was part of the file manager. totalcmd.exe or Finder.app or mc or Krusader etc.

As a kid I was intrigued by telephones. I got hands on two old rotary phones and I wanted them to talk together. I wired them in series with a battery. Despite my dad telling me it never gonna work - it kinda worked. You could hear the othe

How was CSS supposed to protect against copying the encrypted data? We should not need to decrypt the video to duplicate the disc.

How does SQLite handle HA setups? The minimum I want is reliable automatic failover in reasonable time for user-facing service. Ideally an active-active setup.

Is it just a minimal set of unmodified files and Windows will gracefully degradate to this? Or did he need to patch everything to be able to strip it down?

No, the author is presenting an idea that $25 a month can buy you a node. That fits adding a new node to the network, not taking over an existing node.

The assumption is the adversary controls x of N nodes. When x=N the probability of discovering the onion service IP is 1. But the adversary can not achieve this situation as he only controls the additional nodes. The existing nodes still st

Ohh, that's probably why our integration suddenly stopped working for single-tenant app registrations right before release. We were using the /common endpoint for everyone. That is disallowed now.

I think it is a tradeoff between "everybody can request age verification" and "only state-licensed parties can request age verification". I don't think everybody's ID card should tell anyone if the holder is ad

Our state-issued eID cards are supposed to have a function that allows anonymous age verification to a trusted party. It should work like this: a requesting party sends a request signed by state-issued certificate to the ID card, the card v

I did not do many things in Delphi but I have studied the language and VCL architecture for the very purpose of determining why it is so aproachable and productive (as compared to C, Java, JS, Python and the tooling around them). In my opin

I just flip the coin cell around so it stays in the device but does not deplete (reverse polarity but in fact the contacts will not touch the battery poles so no harm).
