"as we see in figure 4" is simply incorrect, though; expressions such as "Figure 4" or "3rd Street" are treated as proper names and must be capitalised, as would the non-nominal "third" in "Dri

If I understand the timeline correctly here, it seems that gorhill overreacted, and I say that as someone who is usually harshly critical of everything Mozilla has done in the past 5+ years. It's hardly practical for Mozilla to manuall

In my experience the prototypical response is closer to an assertive "this was not made for you, you are part of a tiny minority of users who always have been catered to anyway" - if you were actually "handicapped", maki

I'm sure that if Xwitter dispatched a "legal representative" to North Korea who has full moderation powers and will agree to be subjected to anything that a North Korean court orders, even an unblocking of it in NK could be n

Well, for what it's worth, your machine-translated sentence is basically incomprehensible in Japanese, let alone in a position to go viral (except in the capacity in which exquisite gibberish sometimes does). I could only infer what I

Intriguing (and surprising to me that they offer E2EE at all), but there is seemingly no Linux build. I can't seem to find source code either (Telegram Desktop's is released under the GPL).

They used to have a page wittily named "feature matrix", which made it apparent that only Element was really kept up to date, with other clients missing features ranging from channel search to embedding images. I don't know i

EU countries prosecuted Assange, the Pirate Bay guys and now Durov. People in countries like Britain appear to frequently get persecuted for political posts. I'm sure that I've said things online that could get me in trouble now o

For one, it's the only major messenger that has an actually lightweight, well-written and full-featured desktop client rather than yet another boxed-up web browser. I might be more enthusiastic about using the alternatives if I could u

In a way, Durov's arrest retroactively vindicates every EU citizen's decision to use Telegram (up until now), as it proves that they haven't been getting what they want from him. I am not nearly as concerned about Durov himse

Well, except you were forced to use Nightly if you wanted to use any unapproved extensions (i.e. the vast majority of them). I would fully expect no improvements before this lands in stable. To add insult to injury, they might even say that

As yet another entry in the long cavalcade of inexplicable user-hostile changes, Firefox for Android has stopped displaying anything but the TLD at the top of the screen, unless you explicitly edit it. The bugtracker thread makes it clear t

Neither you nor the other first-order responses seem to acknowledge that the two actions are not exactly independent - it's not like the US government did a bad thing, and then Assange went and did a completely unrelated bad thing. The

There is nothing particularly ironic about that - it's in the Chinese government's interest to control its own citizens and subvert its adversaries' control over theirs, and vice versa. See also Russia granting asylum to Snow

I didn't have any direct interactions with JT then or now - while it was hard to ignore the discussion as an onlooker, it did not touch upon any parts of the code that I was involved with. This seems to be one of the topics where every

The loading time improvements largely held up, and on the balance the mmap contribution was ultimately good (though the way it was implemented was really quite problematic, as a matter of process and communication). However, as I point out

It would be good to see some independent verification of this claim. HN has previously [1] fallen for a claim by the same author to have reduced llama.cpp memory usage for a dense model way below the size of the model, which should have fai

The interest in OSS-Fuzz was because it was used to monitor libxz, and so one of the necessary subgoals was to trick its maintainers into exempting libxz from a check that may have caught the backdoor, or at least drawn attention to it for
