Brazilian hobbyist programmer. I mostly do my own thing but I've contributed to some free and open source projects.

The projects I've published are on GitHub:

I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:

No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

To me the main feature of both Access and SQLite has always been the fact they're single files. Very easy to manage.

This has always been the case. The majority of teachers are and have always been women.

Why would anyone use Access in 2019 when they can use SQLite instead? Is it because Access has a graphical interface?

In general signal safety is lost because the C standard library maintains global and thread-local data. For example, the various I/O functions make use of global buffers. Using the read and write…

Clone is a great system call, it allows the programmer to specify which resources are shared with the new task. The problem with clone is the C standard library maintains global and thread-local state…

A spanish court could order spanish ISPs to block GitHub until they obey their order. They could also charge spanish Microsoft executives with disobedience, contempt or something similar.

Owning a copy is not possible. Making more copies is illegal. Sending one of those copies to a friend is illegal. Sharing those copies with people on the internet is illegal. Artificial scarcity means…

Licensing agreements are not the consumer's problem. From their point of view, the service just gets worse and worse because it no longer provides the content they actually want to watch.

Won't someone think of the malware company? How are they suppposed to sell their services to oppressive governments if WhatsApp keeps patching all the vulnerabilities they depend on?

If people can build and maintain huge ad blocking databases, I don't see why custom clients and APIs for sites would be out of reach. For example, youtube-dl has handlers for specific sites, gets…

It's not nitpicking. Your definition of "anonymized" leads people to believe they are anonymous when they are not. That can lead to serious consequences.
comment
I mean the cost to me as a user. Why don't content creators charge me for the page view?
comment
If someone can use that information to identify you, then the data is by definition not anonymized. It doesn't matter how exceptional the circumstances where that's allowed to happen are. &q…

If the de-anonymizing data exists at all, then the anonymized data was never truly anonymized in the first place.

What cost? Web sites don't charge anyone for the HTTP response. They distribute their pages free of charge.

Is it feasible to scrape the website?

Yeah. I've witnessed so many controversies I started archiving and collecting them. Code of conduct enforcement is flawed to say the least.

I had a similar experience. I sent in a bug fix and some new features. The maintainer partially accepted my fix and ignored the other patches. After many messages and additional work, he just said the…

Detailed mailing list instructions would be very nice. I read all I could find about them and still screwed up when I tried to participate in one.
comment
Even if it is stable, it's still far too complex. The compilers generate so much machinery it's not realistic to expect interoperability with foreign code.
