How do I span and resize on a MacBook?

One benefit of multiline raw string is that you can directly copy/paste a block of characters between the program and its source. Unless there are very sophisticated IDE support this proposal does not work fine in this sense.

As I understand, only children of father's brothers can be prefixed with 堂, because they have the same last name and are traditionally considered to be in the same house. All others, including children of father's sisters, are all prefixed with 表.

Sorry but I don't quite understand what the problem here is. Is it about a different character set? Or encoding? Or glygh rendering? The article keeps using "font".

I'm with Google. Many years ago when Google created the censored search site in China, it was the first one that showed the sentence "According to local laws, some search results are removed". Before Google, no search engine showed this and people didn't even realize they were seeing censored search results.

With a new censored search engine in China, Chinese users can access more accurate (and ethical) information than what they have now even if it has fewer results than google.com. This is not only about politics or democracy. In fact, even local players like Baidu will be forced to enhance their search results, which means their users (maybe forced to use it because it's the default one on their cellphones) can get better search results.

I don't think Chinese users will be stupid enough to think the censored search results reflect what the real internet looks like. People know about VPN but often find it difficult to use. VPN providers are being closed down or even sued everyday. Apple's AppStore no longer provide VPN apps. Those who claim only VPN users deserve to use Google are evil.

To me, the only bad thing is that the Chinese government will think they are "strong" enough to force a company like Google to obey them, but I think this is just a face gain for them but the ordinary internet users have much more benefits.

Maybe every photo using the front camera is a selfie?

I hope a judge will order Apple to make all source code of macOS to be readable by everyone. This does not necessarily mean open source: you will not be allowed to modify and re-release it.

> I would say that we are very lucky there hasn't been a WW3. It likely would have casualties in the hundreds of millions.

Why so many casualties, if atomic bombs were not invented?

After so many years, I've learned to not click on the maximize button at all. Just double click the title bar and it will fill the screen.

While I am able to switch to another browser (I already did a long time ago), I don't believe I can avoid visiting sites "that show ads from Google". How much can Google collect from those sites?

Expired and compromised are two different things. If compromised, it will be published in a CRL with a reason flag.

What? No co-occurrence between Fantine and Cosette?

This is my understanding: /dev/urandom is just a blind producer returning any number in some pool; /dev/random is a producer as well as an inspector, it returns the same number from the pool but it also has an extra eye on the source of that pool and refuse to work if it believes the source is of low quality -- here, not enough entropy.

Then the prize should have been awarded to the voters.

Examples or it didn't happen.
