I've been on public WiFi that blocked UDP (except for DNS to their local server). No sites require HTTP3 to function so it's not disruptive to a normal user.

It did introduce ambiguity though. Without the comma it is 100% clear that sentence lists 3 people.

Not really. The equilibrium of removing daylight savings will result in schedules somewhere between DST and Standard Time. This just gets you there faster. The trade off of having 30-minute time zone offsets probably isn't worth it, bu

Are you seriously comparing a random hacker to a lifelong academic for their odds of becoming a crypto shill?

Do you think the submitter intended this as an ad? His post history doesn't seem suspicious. Or do you think article's author wrote this an an ad? He's a reputable academic who seems impressed with an AI tool he used and is h

There are times when an em dash can be used in place of a semicolon, but I don't think that's the usual LLM usage. Instead it's replacing a replacing a comma, colon, or period. Unless you're talking about restructuring y

It's hard to take complaints about UI consistency seriously when the cursor is changed for no reason at all (with a barely-different hover state, too).

And a GDP 2/3 the size. And way less than that by disposable income. Even users from "rich" EU countries are worth ~30% of a US user to most companies.

But that's undefined behavior, so the compiler is free to ignore that possibility.

You must never drive on a curvy roads then. Every car I driven waits until the approaching car is fully around the corner, blinding them for a full second before dimming, instead recognizing the headlights around the corner and dimming ear

That's running 5 miles a day. Everyday. That takes months of training for an already fit young person to build up to. 90 minutes of extra walking is a lot of time to offset a snack that could be eaten in 1 minute.

The in-memory solution creates a 2nd copy of the data so 50GB doesn't fit in memory anymore. The kernel is forced to drop and then reload part of the cached file.

I actually can't tell. The majority of these are literally examples of bad regulations. They have mass appeal without care for 2nd order effects. The top of the page is a banner rallying against a regulation that would fit right in on

Despite the title, the article doesn't talk about "iffy internet" at all. It's all about "slightly slow" internet which is a complete non-issue except for large downloads (e.g. modern games). Congested and&#x2F

In some ways, yes. "Changing clocks" is the easiest it's ever been. We should be looking into changing them more often, not less. Two levels of daylight savings might be better than 1. But on the other hand I think having the

You can download your Tinder and Hinge swipe/like stats, so it's likely accurate. The sad part is that this what "success" looks like. The funnel looks way worse for most guys.

Nope. The 1st Amendment (as currently interpreted at least) doesn't protect non-citizens against deportation. See Harisiades v. Shaughnessy

Nothing on that page supports what your claim. In reality even permanent residents could be deported for what would be 1st Amendment protected activity for citizens. In Harisiades v. Shaughnessy the deportation of legal residents for member
