It's a very interesting phenomenon in recent years and most of the discussions about "why" are immediately blocked by the "memory safety" argument, as if it's a silver bullet for all things that are considered

Why do you have the opinion that it's shit? What have you seen there and what were you expecting? Are you aware that there are many different boards on 4chan, covering pretty much whatever you can think of? The reason for 4chan being a

Yes. From the article: "It's [sic] final retail price is set at 1599€" I was actually excited from the title but upon reading further I got really disappointed. It's basically wishful thinking right now, not sure if it&#

I am aware of the tons of subscription based email services but that is not the point here. What good is self hosting when you still need to rely on some external paid service for a trivial thing like an email server? The costs add up.

Setting up the email server is the only thing I couldn't do with my own home hosted setup because you're at the mercy of your internet provider to give you the PTR record in their network, and lately many providers outright refuse

Oh great, yet another front-end framework, but this one is with paid features as well. Are we seriously going to pretend this isn't getting out of hand?

It was on their SGI workstation that they lugged to home, but yeah, pretty much that's how they recovered most of the files. At the end they barely used the material.

Micro HDMI is basically a non working connector. It baffles me how it was even approved. One of the requirements of a connector is to work. Micro HDMI doesn't work. Sure, it might look like it's working (if you take a picture of

normal.php is a perfectly valid php file. Sure, it doesn't contain php code but that doesn't make it invalid php file. If it did have <?php somewhere and if the following wasn't a syntactically valid PHP code, then you cou

Of course there are tons of better formats than JPEG but it needs to be understood that the most important feature of JPEG is to be exchangeable. It doesn't matter what your shiny new web browser supports, JPEG is considered supported

Macs had only one mouse button for a very long time and the mouse wheel was new at the time. If you want right click press ctrl while clicking with the mouse.

> That was because the networking standards prior to the web were complicated and not well documented. I have to disagree with this one. I have written networking applications with X Window UI in C from scratch only by reading man pages.

There kind of is a standard notion for logging on UNIX and it's /var/log/. stderr, although it suggests a stream for errors, is actually more correctly called a diagnostic stream. Depending on how you execute your progra

Although many people might have not seen most of the GUIs in this article, the article is also horribly wrong on some of them. The screenshot for KDE/GNOME has absolutely nothing to do with KDE/GNOME (besides maybe if you wanted t

It appears so. About an year ago I started getting the most obvious spam messages directly to my inbox. I have been using my current gmail account for more than 16 years now and I've never received such low effort spam messages before.

I am trying really hard to make sense of the past two years and constantly giving the benefit of the doubt, but it's really not easy. So many banal things have become news worthy and it's like all of a sudden everyone completely l

It _is_ censoring. It's not just different search results. The website is nowhere in the Google results, just the Wiki page and news publications.
