Keylogger I recall hearing about for the pre-release versions, but audio capture is new to me. Is there an article where I can read more about that?

I guess it would depend on whether you consider all circles to be spheres (or all spheres circles)?
393.
by Crespyl 9y ago
It might help if you consider spheres as a surface . 3D spheres are a 2D surface wrapped into a 3D space, likewise, hyperspheres would be a 3D surface wrapped into a 4D space. There's no "infinite spheres on its surface", I

I generally agree with your point, Mozilla is very much the odd one out being a non-profit browser vendor, but that last line is just weird. MacOS is a product, not a company, and I don't think you can even buy it if you wanted, it jus

I think they've explicitly stated that they're planning to entirely remove XUL from the codebase, eventually.

Back when I had an an "Optimus" laptop with that kind of setup, I had to use bumblebee/optirun/primus (I forget how the parts fit together) to launch programs that I wanted to use the dedicated card with. It worked a lit

That seems strange. Is there a law mandating that all image hosts allow recovering the exact original image? That seems... impractical for a lot of use cases.

The best way to start fixing a problem is to stop making things worse. LIDAR may or may not have an adverse impact on wildlife, but we should at least find out and see if there are simple ways to mitigate any possible side effects.

I think you're right that "not being tracked" should be the default, in so much as having an adblocker and blacklisting known trackers should be defaults. These are things that my user-agent should be doing automatically to

Though I'm pretty sure I've seen "Your password is too similar to a previous password" before, which suggests some kind of plaintext Levenshtein distance check. "Is the same as" can be fine with a hash, but &qu

According to the article, it's only available for the Mac and Windows desktop apps.

The problem, I think, is that sometimes the chemicals come first and other times the emotions come first. Both can lead to a self-reinforcing downward spiral, but trying to fix the wrong half is likely to be ineffective.

In my window manager I make heavy use of "focus-follows-mouse" behavior, but what I really want most of the time is "focus-follows-eye". Especially in multi-monitor situations, I could see this being really invisibly he

Good use of eye tracking could also allow for foveated rendering, drawing the out-of-focus areas with lower resolution and leaving more time to render the areas of interest.

I'm not familiar with DRAC, but if it's something added by an OEM wouldn't it have to be in the UEFI/BIOS layer or higher? AMT/ME and its ilk are a physical coprocessor built into the CPU, whether it's "en

Even without the meta-moderation aspect, just having multiple dimensions for evaluating any given post is so useful and seemingly unique. "Upvote/Downvote" is not nearly as useful for ranking as the range of, say "+1 Fun

I would argue that all software patents should include complete source code and build details necessary to compile a working version. Something like MP3 or h265 represent nontrivial investments in information theory, and I'm basically

A hip solution would be to generate a short random name and then use something like Namecoin to distribute/lookup the matching value.

These days XDG spec and most apps put things in ~/.config/, either as a single file or in their own subdirectory. It's easy to navigate and search, and apps can use whatever config format they want. I'd argue that'

IIUC, WKS was basically just a list of ports you could expect to be open on a host, while SRV allows you to indicate a separate server to handle a given service. Wikipedia[0] has the example of a SIP telephony server, `example.com` sets a S

The reason you would use this over RAM is persistence, it doesn't need to stay powered to keep the data. If all you need is a massive amount of temporary storage for some algorithm, you'll still need RAM, but if you want a stupidl

I'd love to see "German Simulator 2017". Maybe it could be a day in the life of a simulator programmer.

If I were interested enough to create a Twitter account, I would start by following a bunch of people I'm interested in, RSS style. I most likely wouldn't post very much, if at all. How many potential new users fit this pattern,

Though it seems increasingly too 'niche' to be viable, being fully open source and putting the end users interests first by default is pretty valuable.

Do I expect a Steam purchase to be available on Wii U, Switch PS4, etc.? No (and at least in my case, the games usually don't exist on those platforms anyway). What I do expect is for it to be available anywhere a Steam client is, and

They can and do. I recall instances where some ISPs even went so far as to inject advertising HTML directly into pages sent over HTTP.
