if it’s open source, you can definitely have someone copy that code, make the change you want and use that modified version.

if you wish to redistribute the modified version, some rules will apply depending on the type of licensing of the original program.

if you wish your changes to be integrated to the “official” version of the program, that’s a bit more difficult, as this change would have to be accepted by the owner of the code repository, it needs to fit the code quality, planned features implementation, pass the tests, and that people involved have time for and interest in your changes.

someone tried that with their license plate, it turned out well: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

Mostly if you find an attached GitHub repository to the software, you can have a bit more trust in it than otherwise, it means that the developer is putting their cards on the table and not trying to hide something nefarious. Of course there are caveats to this but it’s a good start.

I see absolutely no problem, the process of interviewing for a company goes both ways: for them to see if you would be a good fit for their open position, and for you to evaluate if what they offer is right for you.

No contract have been signed, you are free to revoke any appointment. Be courteous, let them know you have made a decision not to pursue this venture and that will be enough.

I love when there are solutions for every weird use case ^^

It would be a blow to render this typing method slightly slower, definitely a deal breaker 😏

I found those:

Underscore		. . _ _ . _
Addition		. _ . _ .
Subtraction		_ . . . . _ 
Multiplication		_ . . _
Division		_ _ _ . . .
Equal			_ . . . _
Right Parenthesis	_ . _ _ . _
Left Parenthesis	_ . _ _ .

But this isn’t enough for programming, square and curly brackets, carets, ampersand, pipe, tilda… I think it’s gonna be pretty challenging

This is a provision of the article 6 of the GDPR, which describes very broadly that you have to justify your legitimate interest with a fair reason to process user data. It is mostly there to allow for IT security, fraud prevention, but also marketing.

Unfortunately, the way the regulation is written is quite imprecise and subject to interpretation. You can read this page, it will give you an insight on the possible interpretations:

https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimate-interest/

My understanding is that you have the choice between the following modes :

• Consent = you allow for personalized data collection and ads integration can make use of any tracking information saved in your browser and on the servers of the third party provides
• Legitimate interest = you allow for data collection without personalization, but the provider might still be context aware and provide for example ads based on broad information like your country, language etc
• Nothing = you refuse any processing and connection to a third party server

Agreed! Unfortunately these maddening behaviors were kind of set in stone several decades ago, and it has been (correctly) decided “Don’t break the web”, these weird quirks are kept in modern interpreters/compilers.

It’s actually quite interesting to read through the logic to follow when implementing an interpreter:

On the other hand, I don’t think you should add those ever

I found this, it looks like it’s not really possible because the structure of the two services are pretty different:

Maybe there’s a reason why the comments are off on that vid :D

This was painful to watch, I would have stopped and asked her to continue on foot.

As a rule of thumb, I always put action verbs at the end of method names

The stem side. I enjoy them as long as they are slightly green, so usually the skin breaks easily when bent. Otherwise I will use a sharp knife and make an horizontal incision at the start of the stem to facilitate the peeling.

I am aware of the way monkeys open them, tried and didn’t like it because of the dark mushy part at the end of the fruit, opening from the stem allows to easily leave it behind.

How would the new time zones work in practice? Wenche Pedersen, the mayor of Vadsø who authored the letter, is unsure.

“We haven’t thought a lot about that” she said. “The clock will go from 12 to 13… and we have to see how this will go. I don’t think they’re going to say yes so we haven’t thought about all the details.”

Huh. Great idea.
