Yes they do. I don't know much about it, but it's been mentioned in some OSINT slacks that there are fallback terrestrial or sea-based systems for things like ordinance guiding. Also, ICBMs use star constellations and other source

Start with a mind map. If the goal of your writing is clear, it's easy to make an outline once the mind map is done. If the goal isn't clear, start asking questions about why it isn't clear and expand the mind map until there

White propaganda is fine and even necessary at times. There was plenty of it by western countries during WWII and the Cold War. It's that this propaganda contained false information on both the source and the details that is problemati

My biggest gripe with legacy systems is that the interfaces lie and when you try to fix them and you run the test suite everything passes, but there was actually intention behind one of the lying interfaces that you didn't know about a

You're right that it isn't everything, but the non-https stuff out there is super buggy. I had a Canon 5D Mark 4 and it had the option to (s)ftp up raws so I wouldn't have to take out the card. So I went to the trouble of set

Really? That's amazing! I have Beats and all Apple gear, so I expected that it would work if it were possible, since Apple controls the entire lineup. Hopefully a future version will.

I agree with the core thrust of the article, but there are still major shortcomings that are frustrating. Why isn't it possible for my headphones to connect to my phone and computer at the same time. Having to change the connection 100

I personally dislike tests that are multiple choice. It loads the mind with (sometimes obviously) false data that must be rejected and the ability to pattern match on word usage or even guessing between answers that haven't been elimin

If you buy a ticket to a commercial flight, you're trusting software with your life. It's a matter of degree of trust and hazard at failure.

Absolutely. For example, I think that the lockdown of the bios was a move that hobbled developers like myself that installed custom bios extensions. I used to be able to run raw linux on real hardware. Now I need to use a commercial virtual

Yes I agree with your first part. There are real drawbacks. But it's like installing a custom HTTPS cert in your OS to inspect potential traffic that malware may use through, say, a Google Doc or Sheet. It's helpful to true profes

This is one of those tough cases where software cuts both ways. Some people are smart, informed developers that install a trusted tool to monitor their traffic and have legitimate reasons to want to inspect Apple traffic. They're disma

I appreciate the underlying sentiment, but I disagree. When I contribute to OSS it's my choice to and I want the right to let anyone do whatever they want with code even if I never exercise that right. Personally, I think OSS licence

Not really. The conversation goes on as long as we like. Part of OSS is about trust and reputation. AWS could have really helped the maintainer with a single sentence and they didn't. It's like not saying thanks to the barista whe

At the end of the day it's all about good faith. You either have it or you don't. It's completely obvious to me that it's ok for a product company like Apple to have industry / journalism ties that they provide info

This is a reasonable choice to make depending on the complexity of your project. For the projects I've been on, the latest version plus the test suite is enough to catch weirdness creeping in and, as a side benefit, it gets fixed faste

Whenever I use "begs the question" I'm only doing it to broadcast that I'm well educated to a presumably educated observer. That I know that it means "circular reasoning" is itself a form of a signal. I chose t

Then update the Wikipedia page with a source or mention it on the Talk page of the article. It's the best way to push human development forward when you see something untrue.

Do you have a source for that? It's not my field of expertise, but I thought network peering worked both ways. So if a website like YouTube had a lot of content on its network then peering agreements could be such that in certain cases

The proof that Turing gave never really left me fully convinced. Surely if the Romans had "the answer that denies the former" then clearly some version of it is possible in software.

Outlier is a bit of a strong word. Ruby and many others[0] implement it the same way. Personally, I think the way Ruby does it is the most intuitive. The % operator is a modulo, and there is a separate method for remainder. Even though I pr

Yes! And there are some steps in the Ruby community to pull in a web-of-trust as well. It's just frustrating that it didn't happen from the get-go in language after language. That said, I applaud the Debian folks for putting in th
