While I think a world where BSD would have become dominant would have thrived, things would have been different. Because of GNU existing before Linux, and it never fully adopting Linux as its kernel, Linux has always existed seperate from a

Firefox 70 will use Core Animation on Macs for graphics rendering, just like Chrome and Safari. This will vastly improve low energy consumption/battery life, but I haven't heard anything about general UI performance? Anyway, it&#x

Long pins and passwords make you a lot more susceptible to casual attackers, as they can be gotten from shoulder surfing and casual video, like e.g. surveillance footage. Fingerprint replicas (or your actual fingers) are obtainable by targe

This is the MACHO hypothesis, which seems to have fallen somewhat out of favor since we can measure this to some extent and we can't find anything close to the required mass [1]. Although it is likely there is unaccounted regular matte

Can "using the wrong equations" explain gravitational lensing effects appearing apparently out of the void? The Bullet Cluster is a famous example referred to in this comment thread, but it's far from the only example. As a n

What? This isn't about "languages". It's about software! Algol 68 and Fortran 77 may have stale (but maintained) compilers or interpreters in the package repository. Starting very soon - Python 2 will have an entire set

The CVE database can be quite problematic for libraries. CVEs get registered according to some 'worst case' impact criteria. This means that more often than not, you the alerts go off for 'using the library in a stupid way&#x

If you want to argue Apple is handling this poorly from a community perspective, you'll find no argument with me. The reason Apple is doing this in this poor way is that they seem to want to push Metal as the answer. They want incent

It seems to me then that OpenGL should have been a library instead of a driver all along. Its original intent unfortunately has no bearing on what it has become in the meantime. > Yeah but as it can clearly be seen, you cannot rely on Ap

Although I'm not a fan of OpenGL's removal, I think it's somewhat misunderstood. OpenGL is an outdated design for modern GPUs. Its featureset and architecture is too high level, leading to more buggy drivers and complicated l

I like using Safari and uBlock Origin. I notice that I am not a power user of browsers - give tabs, a forward and backward button and any adblocker and I used to be happy. This mean that I could easily use Safari and Firefox - I prefer not

That is true currently. Know that this problem will be strongly reduced in the next version of Firefox, to be released on October 22nd. Firefox will use much less power then, on par with Chrome (haven't seen direct comparisons to Safar

I've heard people say for CRT Royale to be truly effective you need to use it on a 4K TV. It apparently needs the additional resolution to truly shine. Having said that, it already looks really impressive to me on a 1080p TV.

Thanks for the attention to detail you're bringing to emulation. Looking forward to the articles you're intending to write!

I mean yeah, you can split a lot of hairs there. But even so, even if you assume the RPi 4 can be optimized to be 20% faster than the Atom across the board, it's still the same ballpark. In that ballpark mainstream amd64 support is a b

I think the fact that it will run mainline amd64 Linux [0] and is dirt cheap will make people overlook that. Benchmarks are imperfect, but it seems to be in the same ballpark as the Raspberry Pi 4 [1] - slightly worse in single core, slight

IIRC this was a major problem with the Bay Trail generation (32 bit EFI, 64 bit CPU). These are Cherry Trail generation chips (one generation newer) which did get 64 bit EFIs. That's not to say this board has a 64 bit EFI, but the ve

Although I agree that in some cases SMS 2FA provides a false sense of security, this argument misses the economy of the attacks here. It's not that black and white. Any attacks on phone numbers are spearphishing, almost my definition.

by DCKing 7y ago
The problem is when a phone number is the only factor that is used. That is what Twitter allows. If you truly use an SMS only as a second factor - and don't provide recovery options only by phone, like Twitter - then you have much le

This sounds like bad faith argument, surely the EU investing billions in infrastructure or adopting consumer protection is not just marketing ? That's a lot of effort to go through just to get the EU flag in people's faces. Even

I agree that Article 13 is a major misfiring. I really hate that narrative though where Article 13 and GDPR are lumped together as a "EU regulation bad" narrative. One (Article 13) is a major product of corporate lobbyism and misg

This may sound like nitpicking, but it isn't: the dinos have survived. All birds are dinosaurs. In fact, birds are extremely closely related to the dinosaurs that were long conjectured to have the highest cognitive abilities [1]. Some
