I think you and others are missing the point of how language works. The situation is similar to famous Dutch insults like Kankerlijer (cancer sufferer), Klerelijer (cholera sufferer), or Pleurislijer (tuberculosis suffer). Using these

A personal anecdote why some blog poster is scared and worried about ToS of cloud providers? Sure, go ahead and host your website in your mom's basement. That's exactly my point, a company who has reason to believe they will viola

I doubt running your own server is always the right solution.There are pros and cons for and against hosting yourself. A small company without dedicated security team may get hacked and all customer data exposed, for example. Contrary to wh

I'm an author on Amazon and wonder: Is this also true if I switch off DRM for my books on Amazon? Could someone clarify this? I publish all my books without DRM.

I've seen so many abuses of interface{} in packages, especially for containers, that anything that can alleviate this problem is a step in the right direction. Even when they are not strictly necessary I expect generics to improve a nu

This is narrow-minded thinking influenced by recent events instead of a realistic risk assessment. Imagine you spend trillions on vaccines for possibly deadly diseases, and then the Yellowstone supervolcano breaks out and general disaster c

I personally find these articles amusing because I'm still wondering whether I should start using RSS. I've always kept in the back of my mind over the years that I really should check out which RSS reader is the best so I have it

Well, it may be a joke but the number of times I've downloaded some source code, hit ./configure, make, and then sudo make install on my linux box without checking any of it is also a joke....

Common, I may not know enough about the stock market to be opinionated about this case in particular, but when literally billions are at stake, conspiracies about mild collusion between brokers and market manipulation are really not that

Today, Youtube suggested to me to watch a 15 s Hitler speech. Why? I have not the slightest idea. But I clicked out of curiosity, just to see once more how "good" ol' Hitler spoke. It was one of his better speeches. Comments

Facebook's content and ad moderation is known to be aleatory, as is anything related to appeals or contacting representatives. My personal suspicion is that the company is both technically incompetent and has confused internal handling

Like with any other form of surveillance, if it's a bad practice, then it shouldn't be used on anyone, regardless of race.

That explains the different experiences, I live in continental Europe and mostly followed local expert interviews and journal articles. It seems to me that the topic was politicized early in the US. I've followed Fauci's meanderin

I'd say that experts are mostly knowledgeable, experienced, and broadly respected within their scientific domain. I don't see how intelligence or wisdom are important factors - other than for the fact that most accomplished scient

Thanks a lot! That's great. With a book like that I prefer a printed version.

In most EU countries ToS are pretty much void anyway because they tend to contain frivolous or illegal clauses. For example, a ToS is void in the EU that limits the consumer's rights for legal action in any way. Here is a list of unfai

What attacks are you thinking of? A cold boot attack while you're on the toilet? Or that the laptop is stolen? First and foremost you need to ensure physical security anyway. Otherwise a dedicated attacker can also just install a bug.

I agree that it doesn't need to be about security. If web apps had to be installed on browsers similar to the way they are installed on the operating system, they would be acceptable. The current system that they run automatically when
