It's unfortunate they didn't add «by the author» in the end of this title.

Looks like P↔Q is only two blocks of difference… Which means that a single-block damage is unrecoverable. Unfortunate…

Medvedev has not yet said anything on this topic. He is the receiver of the plea by deputy speaker (deputy chairman) of parliament representing «Just Russia» (a minority ultra-loyal fraction in parliament). By now the voices for banning or

Technically, it is not that the parliament as an organisation asks to prohibit Windows 10. It is only coming from a representative of one minority fraction «Just Russia» (generally considered fully and completely loyal to government (as opp

As far as I understand, there is an option that is even simpler for application developers: all applications have the permissions to see and alter whatever they want on the phone, up to a storage quota for modifications. Most of their acces

To play a devil's advocate, I want to answer this directly as answered. Available information indicates that NSA used various coercion tactics to ensure cooperation from various companies and that it has the methods to ensure hardware

A better heading would be "Linux users resent devices being locked into Windows 8"... As it is simply about SecureBoot.

Actually, loading follower list via HTML page of twitter could also be a viable idea - more viable than playing by the rules, at least.

It should be a good sign that things missed in the theory fit nicely into it. I am uncomfortable when interacting with any Apple or Microsoft production, and, correspondingly, I have a third, distinct reaction to The Test (seeing animated t

In that case maybe you want to setup conference-only jabber server that doesn't allow logging in to it but hosts MUCs and manages logs.

If you use GTalk already, maybe migrating to XMPP MUC (which is the same protocol) served by, say, ejabberd could be the most straightforward way. It has log configuration (just as IRC does), but it it slightly easier to set up to push logs

I would look into Lobachevsky geometry or inversions on the plane to describe this.

I wonder if it is actually an effective way to brainwash reactions into people. I wouldn't hope to achieve anything net-positive when the "correct" reaction to the fact that some official in Albania said something intolerant is that you are

Standards say that +-addresses must work this way, and most receiving servers implement this correctly. I actually had more trouble when some sending service failed to send to such an address correctly.

As all backend problems, it is subject to cyclical development. Actually, mixing all the parts of the top part of the clock could help - constants living in DB or a file, simple rules written in DSL that makes them short and comp[lex rules

Atomic upgrades. Run an update, interrupt it at random time, reboot. With Nix, there is a very limited set of problems you can get due to that. FS corruption if you do a hard reboot, filesystem mounting problems if you changed your partitio

I use it on my notebook and it is the only OS I ever booted on it. Works fine for me, but I do like to do strange things with my system. This means that I do value the ability to revert a problematic change and I am OK with configuring thin

In NixOS it is about all the things on the system - if updated X.org video driver behaves badly I can simply switch to an older configuration and look for a solution when I have time.

Nix model is that you work with expressions that allow to build packages from source. Binary packages are provided in format "if you performed build described by hash X you would get the contents of this archive". For proprietary software,

The aim of Nix is to make function from dependencies to resulting packages a pure function. Nix seems to have achieved it with respect to set of packages installed on a system; the most problematic thing now is that some packages manage to
