Re:Who’s behind Wednesday’s epic Twitter hack? on Thursday July 16, 2020 @08:49PM (#23865740)
Some people claim that the coinhive story had some unnecessary doxxing aswell:

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/03/annual-protest-to-fight-... (see comments)

The users of said image board do a yearly fundraiser to protest against the unnecessary doxxing. The first one was started by a random user.

> They probably took it down because as the original app it violated the App Store’s guidelines on data collection.

Or maybe Apple took it down because - as you said - it violated the store guidelines. Or Apple just encouraged them to do it by themselves (for a better PR). So effectively, they were forced.

Any European people affected? How does this play with the GDPR? Are the user's over 16? Anyone tried to file a GDPR data request?
As this is valid, but only useful as documentation:

    void foo(const int n, const char data[n])
Is this also valid?

    void foo(const int n, const char data[static n])
Re:IPv6 xmas display uses 75 Internet's worth of addresses on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @11:07AM (#18757869)
By "this" I mean encoding information in the address in general, not this signage-thing. See my other reply in this thread.
Re:IPv6 xmas display uses 75 Internet's worth of addresses on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @11:05AM (#18757863)
Well, the proposal was controversial.

There was an article about this recently on the German news site Heise: https://heise.de/-4196981

If this becomes more common, the IPv6 address space will be exhausted pretty quickly. There already was a proposal on encoding phone numbers in IPv6 addresses.

Well, no.

Sessions, IP addresses and User Angents associated with oneself.

The stuff you can't scrape is the interesting stuff.
Maybe they want that people realize that the project in question depends on donations. If they just give them a bunch of money, many people won't notice.
Re:A well-known URL for changing passwords on Thursday December 06, 2018 @06:36PM (#18623626)
Well, yes. I was solely looking from a user's perspective.
Re:A well-known URL for changing passwords on Thursday December 06, 2018 @04:26PM (#18622412)
How about something like:

  /.well-known/delete-account
  /.well-known/request-user-data
This would also be nice as we wouldn't need things like https://justdelete.me
What about [email protected] and the remaining RFC system addresses?
I recommend the Firefox addon "Bloody Vikings!". You can just right-click on a form field and select from a bunch of trashmail providers. The inbox gets opened and the address is inserted automatically.
Re:How Does React Tell a Class from a Function? on Monday December 03, 2018 @07:55AM (#18588357)
This is why I don't like the hooks concept introduced in the post. It breaks these semantics.

You should watch this video addressing some of your arguments: https://youtu.be/VxNBiAV4UnM

You can set the scaling to 1x, but the font size to 1.5x in tweak tools. That's what I'm using.
Re:Blue Apron lays off more workers on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @08:48AM (#18449791)
I wonder how many people buying this do actually have athritis.
Re:Blue Apron lays off more workers on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @06:20AM (#18449071)
Not related to Blue Apron: Where I live, you can buy peeled and chopped onions. Have to be put in the fridge and are packed in a plastic bag.
Re:Programming Quotes on Tuesday November 06, 2018 @11:38AM (#18392531)
Well, optimization could also mean to remove unnecessary JS.
Re:.NET Standard 2.1 on Monday November 05, 2018 @03:22PM (#18385580)
Well, both implementations do have a strict which has the length as last member. Is there any special reason for it? Something like struct-layout optimization?
Re:.NET Standard 2.1 on Monday November 05, 2018 @02:45PM (#18385296)
Any special reason why they put the length after the pointer? Or is it just a coincidence?
Re:React v16.6.0: lazy, memo and contextType on Wednesday October 24, 2018 @12:13PM (#18293719)
Is this planned for the Suspense API?
Re:React v16.6.0: lazy, memo and contextType on Wednesday October 24, 2018 @01:21AM (#18289915)
Do lazy + Suspense replace the react-loadable [1] package?

Re:GitHub: October 21 Incident Report on Monday October 22, 2018 @10:32AM (#18274952)
I created a new repository 30 minutes ago.

As I initialized it with a readme and an ignore file, I had to clone it. Cloning only succeeded by doing `watch git clone` and waiting a few minutes. But it worked.

Re:The Awful German Language (1880) on Saturday October 06, 2018 @05:41AM (#18154315)
I don't know what he is referring to. But one interesting things is that there is a language where you can express that someone is doing something without including the time when he is doing it. This is not possible in the languages I know of (De/En/Fr).

I can imagine that this ability makes different thoughts possible.

When looking at programming languages, it is indeed the case that your "lingua franca" limits the imagination of what software architectures are possible to solve the problem.

Re:The Awful German Language (1880) on Saturday October 06, 2018 @05:34AM (#18154301)
I think the best thing about compound words is that you can name things you don't know the actual name for.
Re:The Awful German Language (1880) on Saturday October 06, 2018 @05:27AM (#18154284)
A Luftschiff is not an airplane, it's a Zeppelin because it floats in the air like a ship in the water.
And how about the software that runs on these things?
