Even browsers start authenticating cookie paths or maintain tables of which cookies came from which site and maintain them in different sandboxes, many big sites would not work right.
They don't. It is amazing how many websites break from just enforcing minimal cookie sanity. In fact the bigger and more mainstream they are, the more likely they are to break due to all the partnerships and interworking systems they based on.
Sure with HTML5 there tons of cookie replacements, LocalStorage, WebSQL, IndexedDB. You can even fingerprint the user and track him even if he has everything disabled.
It is not just Google that bans them, it is industry best practise not to use them. While you can make exception-safe code by containing all state information in classes that can properly unwrap them, it is extremly tedious and very error-prone to do. Basically the only safe thing to do after catching an exception is quiting, which means you might as well exit, crash or catch a signal.
He has a connecting to all the features he put into C++ and any coding guidelines should include thing that should not be used. First among those are exceptions, unfortunately Bjarne has never wanted to admit C++ exceptions were a mistake.
We must be naive to think only one car company does this.
The mileage I get from my car are not as good as what my dashboard say and I don't have a VW.
You are probably also not driving as fast as the dash boards says. Without GPS a car has to assume the largest wheel size your car can fit, but if you are using standard wheels this means miles are overestimated, typically by around 10%. The alternative would be showing too low speeds causing the drivers to get regularly fined.
Flip side, I bought a '99 Ford Windstar. By about 120k miles, I:
Had a check engine light under warranty; instead of fixing the real problem, the inept dealer just blew out the vacuum lines, presumably hoping for a more expensive out-of-warranty repair.
Replaced the front valve cover myself (after the second check engine light) because of a design flaw that causes oil blow-back into the air intake, fouling the vacuum lines and destroying various rubber seals in the intake manifold. Replaced said rubber seals as well.
Was without the car for about a week while the inept dealer diagnosed what turned out to be a simple split in a metal coolant pipe (causing a small steam leak when you first start the engine) in the intake manifold.
Had the transmission rebuilt (and it needs to be rebuilt again) because of bad solenoids.
Replaced the rear electronics module myself because it was randomly locking and unlocking the doors while driving, and one turn signal was flashing erratically.
Replaced four of the five door lock motors myself over the course of a year or so because of latent damage caused by the bad REM. (I have the fifth one in a box, me being of little faith.)
Had the power steering pump replaced because it self destructed.
Had the steering rack replaced a week later because the new pump blew out the gaskets.
Had the fuel pump replaced.
Had the driver's side window motor replaced.
Replaced three tires because the particular size of tire (at least in the brand that I mistakenly picked at the time) is highly prone to side blowouts when lightly curbed.
Need to reflow the ABS controller, but haven't had a chance to do it yet.
So forgive me if I laugh at the notion of an Apple car being a money pit. It can't be much worse than that.
Yes it can, you won't be allowed to fix anything yourself.
what possible excuse is there for "This update breaks VPNs" to not be treated as an absolute showstopper
This is what happens when you try to make a software update part of a hardware roll-out. They have hardware that they want to ship at a specific date, but haven't had any chance to get the software tested out in a while. They basically had to release iOS 9 even though they knew there was bugs because it was necessary for the new iPad and iPhone models.
You mean for publicity? I am sure iOS8 works fine on the new devices. The problem is that they promise a new version every year, and not releasing one would look bad.
You said use and design. I replied to the your use of the word "use". The use of desktop and laptops changed a lot during the 90s. First of all laptops became actually useful by the end of the decade, and internet became commonplace. Dumbass.
cell phones. but cell phones weren't in the mass consumption computer world. yet
nothing else. pcs and laptops really did not change from 1990 to 2000 (they got faster, more powerful, more capacity, but their use and design did not change)
Did you somehow miss the internet. How are you posting on slashdot without using the internet, which became a household thing in the 90s?
Evolution is true, but the 19th century model that it happened just through parent->child mutations is way out of date.
There are lots of virus fragments in mammalian DNA for example, and some of them are used for critical mammalian functions, such as turning off the foreign body rejection mechanism which would otherwise destroy developing embryos.
But that is because we mammals are part herpes, descendent from one very sick virgin platypus and her immaculate conception by Herpes.
Had Japan delayed the surrender, the inability of the US to launch a third nuclear attack would have resulted in the reveal of the bluff.
Had US delayed the launch of the nuclear bombs then it is likely that the surrender had came anyway.
Actually they did surrender, just not with the term unconditionally which the US president had promised the US people. And yes it would have upgraded anyway, it was just semantics.
Malware can also be trojan. Spyware is an excelent example of that, most spyware is very useful, they just collect data on you and sell it on. In some cases like Google, you don't even risk them selling it on to anyone criminal, just for advertisement.
So some spyware is certainly malware.
The real question is: Is Chrome or Android, they are if Windows 10 is.
Planets are common. Planets within the habitable zone look like they are common. So, is this evidence of the Great Filter - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ?
This is not about intelligent life or even great civilization it is about civilizations able to do incredible large scale developments that humans probably wont be able to for a few thousands years.
Republican moving further right? What are you talking about? Seriously! You're looking at the wrong axis of the political spectrum. The Republican Party didn't move so much as left or right, but rather more authoritarian in alignment
That is extreme right wing:You can't defend the status quo, your country and the rich without a strong authoritarian state. That you can't have an "ideal" socialist society without a similar oppresive regime either is just how the political spectrum works, only moderate opions can tolerate dissent.
Bill moved the dems hard right so they could win elections after the lost the blue collar guys to social issues and the welfare queen rhetoric. The Republicans had to go further right to maintain a distinct identity..
I think you confused Bill with Nixon and Reagon. Nixon had the southern strategy to leave their republican libreral heritage behind embraze the crazy, and Reagon made crazy look good.
It is well understood in math, because it is not physics or engineering, but knot theory is a mathematically field.. Seriously.
Topological knots are closed and not generally useful for understanding characteristics of physical knots. For one thing, it's impossible even to talk about the strength of a closed knot because there are no ends to pull on. This work is mathematical modeling of physical, open, knots and their useful characteristics.
I didn't take the course myself, but the academic posters and articles I have seen were all open.
The posters and articles were open? Or the knots? By "closed" I mean that the "rope" has no ends; it's a loop. This means mathematical knots can't be "tied" or "untied".
I meant it was real knots with strings with two ends.
at some point someone will have a heart attack while being driven in an autonomous car
There's a macabre thought.
So I'm driving to see the grandkids. I have a heart attack in route and die. And the car dutifully delivers my dead body to the grandkids.
Eww...
Well, if you are in the risk zone might not want a self-driving car then. For some odd reason almost no one has a heart attack while driving, immediately before or immediately after, but not while driving. They always die in the car while it is parked.
Doesn't that worry you? Say one of the seals fails under water and your phone dies. Seems like Sony will try to wriggle out of honouring the warranty, otherwise why include this language at all?
They can't wriggle out of legally required minimum warranties. That is why we have them here. The text can usually be ignored. Apple got fined in several countries when their sales and support people quoted their warranty text as that was deliberately misleading customers to believe they have less warranty than the EU minimum.
Of course if the warranty is not requied, well - then the company can drop for any stupid reason they see fit.
Kind of wrong. The year is from 0 to 365. This means it starts with a day, which will complete the first day, when its 23:59:59. So 1 is the start of the second day. It's like your birthday, which counts the completed years. Otherwise the last day wouldn't be the 265th. But the "programmers" from the article don't get it either and even write 1111.1111 instead of 1.0000.0000
Let me introduce you to ordinals, the key thing to remember is that the number in the ordinal is one lower than the index of what they describe. So for instance 19th century is the 1800s, and the 256th day of the year is day 255 (or counting from January 0, 256).

Even the basic product photos AND the demo showed the hand resting on the screen.
If you weren't aware, you can rest your hand on an iPad today while drawing with your finger or stylus... Apple does input discrimination very well.
The Surface Pro has a separate digitising screen for the stylus
That is all very nice but the Apple Pencil looks to have much better latency which is what really matters.
No it doesn't.
It's the software and OS it runs that matters.
Which means iPad Pro is double fucked, because it doesn't run a real OS.

So the fastest Skylake is not as fast as the fastest Broadwell which was not even as fast as the fastest Haswell.....
Damn it Intel, get the high-end Skylakes out.
If they have a carrier that doesn't care about updates they wouldn't have the very latest android version (the one affected) the first place.
