Unless you're an astronomer, you probably don't care about condition 2. Many countries still shift wall time around by an hour twice a year for DST - if people are okay with that, solar time being offset by a few seconds is insignificant.
Even for astronomers, I suspect that preserving conditions 1 and 3 is probably more valuable than 2. It's easier to correct for the uneven rotation of our planet than for an uneven timescale.
It's literally based on the (estimated) number of search engine hits for e.g. "Python programming" on Google and a handful of site-specific search engines (e.g. Amazon, eBay, Walmart, microsoft.com, etc), with some manually applied tweaks for languages with easily confusable names. Many of the fluctuations in rankings - like the big dip in the ranking for C between 2015 and 2018 - probably have more to do with changes in search engine algorithms than any real change in popularity.
Some early wireless cards used SDIO to communicate with the host computer. These are long gone.
There were also some later SD cards which contained an embedded controller running Linux, which emulated an SD storage card and exposed its contents over wireless. The latter are what that article was about.
> under normal conditions BSD is a wonderful license for game devs since you’re free to use the code and only have to add an acknowledgement somewhere.
And it's not as though libopus is an outlier in using a BSD license. A lot of other commonly used libraries have similar licenses; a few examples that come to mind which are likely to show up in games are zlib, curl, Lua, and SDL.
TL;DR: enriched uranium solution was poured into a tank with improper geometry and reached criticality; three workers were severely irradiated, and two of them subsequently died.

I find it more interesting as a statement about organizational oversight. If there are multiple people involved in operations, they can keep an eye on each other and speak up if they see anything weird going on (e.g. a DNS resolver implementing selective logging or interfering with results). If there's only one person running the show, there's no one to call them out.
(And if you're thinking, "but so-and-so is a principled person, they would never do anything like that" - pressure from law enforcement can be a powerful thing.)
Only if the application explicitly set the cursor. There was no default indication that an application had stopped processing events - your only clue was that everything stopped responding.
Larry was essentially inactive* on Wikipedia from 2002 until he started stirring things up last year. Nobody "wanted him gone" - he simply wasn't relevant to the project.
*: Aside from updating his user profile and commenting on talk pages about himself and his projects.
The dark patterns aren't just in online gambling. Nowdays, a lot of brick-and-mortar casinos encourage, or even require, clients to create an account (often framed as a "members club" or "rewards card"), which is used to track the client's activity at the casino and target them with promotions tailored to their behavior. These can be used in some really troubling ways, e.g. by identifying clients who may have a gambling problem and targeting them with promotions to come back to the casino more often, to stay longer, and/or to start placing larger bets.
