I straight up never got a nice answer from StackOverflow on this. Say you have 5 classes, each requiring access to the data members/functions of the others. What’s a nice way to solve this problem? I’ve thought of only two nice methods:

• Pass pointers/shared-pointers etc to each class, but not through the constructor but a setter function
• Pass lambdas or std::function everywhere. Yuck! Still doesn’t put each object in a valid state in the constructor.

blasphemy!

void main(int argc, char ** argv, char ** envp)

Quite the HD meme

We’re living in a timeline

They updated their description of how their search engine works. The new description is still factual, while being slightly easier to understand. The new description also has some fancy marketing flair. They still make it pretty clear that they use other search engines via anonymous calls.

I wouldn’t call that shady at all… Unless maybe I’m completely missing the point here.

I think this is a fairly benign move with a valid explanation that has been taken out of context in order to be more inflamitory

Wow. The L2 is 16 times larger than what I have now. I can’t imagine the breakneck performance.

I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.

230C right on the iron lol

That’s awesome! I’m glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with “2” in them haha.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

Hmm, I’ve never tried Bazzite. Have you tried Ubuntu/can you offer a comparison to it? I play only on Ubuntu and games compatibility is like 80% hit and 20% miss.

Fucking Veggietales predicted this

The closest thing I can think of the archive @ Wayback machine. It’s more of a manual way of seeing snapshots rather than diffs.

The article is light on details about the exact allegation. I’d be very interested to hear exactly Facebook planned to store and use the data, what kind of data it was anyways, and how it could have improved their bottom line. If we can find how they are using this to make more money then maybe it’s possible to cut off the opportunity at the source.

Hmm gotcha. Yeah this stuff goes over my head haha but it sounds similar to a Bitcoin mixer/tumbler. I wonder if the anonymity scales with the number of users using the network. I also wonder if you happened to send a transaction at a “bad” time (no-one else is using the network) then it’s easier to trace.

Do you know how Monero’s advantage could potentially be lost?

I think it’s a combination of the security risk and a slippery-slope argument. The security risk is that, at the very least, it opens up an avenue for hackers to more easily extract personal information from your PC. The slippery-slope argument is that Microsoft can just choose to enable this feature, or parts of it, without your consent. It used to be that you could turn of all telemetry in Windows (XP/Vista I believe), but now you can’t do that for 10.
