I am not saying this is a solution, but the reason you see this is because a number of companies, such as TikTok and LinkedIn, have been caught scraping the clipboard. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020&

Maybe, but I wouldn't go back to Python 2 without async. It has also improved over time in Python. I have also had success using async in Python. I do understand what the article talks about however. Understanding the difference betwee

Hey Yoric, I do not want to underplay what it is like to work with async, but I think there has been a lot of improvements to make it easier, especially in JavaScript/ECMAScript. It is nice not to have to work directly with promises in

I can tell you guys work with languages like Go, so this isn't true for yourselves, but I usually find it is developers that only ever work with synchronous code who find async complicated. Which isn't surprising, if you don'

It is interesting hearing feedback from the frontline. Even with the issues, I think it is clear drones are changing modern warfare when you have companies like Anduril. What most people think is coming next is autonomous drones, although I

I generally feel the opposite way. React was changing every few weeks when I started using it, the docs and API are much more stable and consistent now. In general web standards are more stable then ever also. People younger then myself won

PunkBuster was a PITA, but there were popular mods like DeFRaG, CPMA (Pro Mode), and RA3. There were also other full on games built like Urban Terror by Sandstorm. Most of the popular mods were rolled in as game modes though.

I have been playing Quake since Quake World and dial up. For Quake Live I was ranked highly for a while in RA. It's true that if you were close enough to the server you could get a better experience, but in western Canada servers were

The net code for the original Q3A client worked well for lan, but was sensitive to latency for remote play. One of the exciting changes to Quake Live was the updated net code for better remote play. Internet connections also got better in g

I wish people would stop going on about BSD jails as if they are the same. I would recommend at least using jails first. Most people using container technologies are well versed in BSD jails, as well as other technologies such as LXD, CRI-O

Firefox Developer Edition is targeted towards developers, and contains the latest development tools available. New features also land quicker, as it is built against Firefox beta.

Give Firefox Developer Edition a try, if haven't already, and are looking for more robust development tools.
