You say worse, but these discrepancies are by design, both in the US and EU. They’re there to stop much larger interests from steamrollering smaller but different interests that they might not care about or understand
Not really, before you could firewall it off from the rest of your network - though now you can just masquerade 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to your DNS server of choice
One of the advantages, though, is per-user config for the same program, e.g. the .bash files. It's pretty common to have separate /home and / partitions too, and less common but doable to dual-boot different distros but share the same /home partition. Which is itself actually a reason to be very careful with back-compatability of dotfiles
> If you use websocket for short lived connections, you are doing something wrong.
Pretty-much true, but I remember a funny story from Dropbox where their websocket service couldn't come back up after a crash because their normal users trying to re-open super long lived connections all at once was well-beyond the capacity of the system

Surely to be racist, some degree of malice or ignorance is required - face recognition from visible light flat imagery will always struggle with low-contrast images, which is sadly what you get from a poorly lit black person's face. It's neither intentionally racist nor inadvertantly - there is just not the same amount if information available
Depends how you define toxicity - a toxic idea or toxic wording. The Hitler comment is obviously toxic in meaning but is 'eloquently' worded (or, at least as much as it could be given it is literally Nazism.)
I am at least relieved that this doesn't appear to be an Idea police AI nor a particularly liberally biased classifier
can't speak for all CS students but we certainly have an ethics course. Unfortunately a lot of people see it as an insult to their intelligence yet need reminding of many of their professional obligations and that their 'cool hackathon idea' might be illegal
as mentioned in a comment above, the choice to take 2.7 behaviour when 3 behaves differently means this wannabe-python '2.8' is neither backward nor forward compatible
> I mean, let's be honest: if we really cared about security we wouldn't be writing in C.
How so? C is low level, so to be secure you must be fully aware of the behaviours and side effects of what you're doing. In another, perhaps higher level language, sure, there may be less of these gotchas but to be properly secure you need a similar amount of knowledge about background behaviour.
Not really, earth is waaaay closer to the sun, so goes faster in its orbit but has a lot less energy (when normalised for mass) than any of the voyagers. They are going way faster than Earth in the sense that we're they to suddenly to telephone to Earth's perihelion, they'd be going ridiculously fast relative to Earth
I can get behind some of that, I do hate the argument "it doesn't matter if it's inefficient, modern computers are fast" because everyone taking that stance results in things staying the same speed. When you do encounter modern software that's well optimised and not bloat, it's a real pleasure to be in awe at it's speed (Redis is an example I can think of off the top of my head)
That being said, I'm happy the web isn't still just plaintext or minimally styleable
