We all want to get rich by hoarding money. The only difference is, that the value of bitcoins compared to classical currencies is currently increasing. And because the monthly increase is so high, so many want to join the game. As soon as e

I am not sure if it as bad as described here. Yes, over time the relative part of generalists in a company shrinks. But it does not necessarily mean, that generalists loose their jobs, just because some specialist knocked at the door. I thi

I think there is a thin line here. For example I was taught I to programm Smalltalk. On the one hand that is not a commonly used programming language and on the other hand it teaches Object Oriented Programming like no other language. So ye

As far as I understand it, modern English is a mix of Germanic and Romance Languages, just radically simplified. It explains why there are often two words in english which mean the same: - liberty => libertas (Latin) - freedom =&gt

Well, yeah that is a problem. Does anybody here have an idea how that could be solved? I mean if the firmware would be released with its source everybody could buy the cheap version and load the full-featured firmware version to their hardw

Anybody knows why vendors are still afraid of releasing their firmwares as source code? I mean are they afraid of patent law suits or do they hope they can cover up some super secrect sauce within their products? At the moment I feel like c

I think what many people don't know or understand, is that facebook is not the internet. So when you write something at facebook you ask a company to host your story under their domain. And as the company is held responsible for what t

You seem like someone who actually knows something about WASM and is polite enough to articulate an answer. Why do you think that WASM is a good way to go? Why is it better than JS and do you think using it does not endanger the open source

by JepZ 9y ago
Actually, with minified JS you do not have to "decompile" anything. It is just pressing the pretty print button in your dev-tools and you can use your normal debugger (just without propper names) to step through the code.

by JepZ 9y ago
So and that source is as easy to read and step through as minified JS (didn't know something like that exists)? And does the one who deployed the code has to use the non-lossy text format or can you simply convert any WASM binary to so

Actually, I don't know why so many people are so excited about webassembly. Yes, it is faster than JS, but JS itself is not that slow and on the other hand we loose the open nature of the human readable web.

Actually, thats not how open source works. But you have at least two true points between the lines: 1. Linux is not easy to install: Most of the problems during installation are still driver issues. The issues are mainly not existing driver

I like opinion articles as they make it easier to understand the perspective of the author. At least as long as at least some facts are present, but that does not seem to be a problem here. So while I do not necessarily share the authors op

While my first intention was to set a high penalty too. After a few minutes I thought there might be an alternative. How about prohibiting breachers (companies which have had data breaches in the past) to collect data which is not essential

by JepZ 9y ago
I understand the problem but I am not sure what a sane balance might be. In general a data breach is something companies want to avoid already.

One fact I was not completely aware about: Even if you have updated your Android device with a Custom ROM (e.g. Lineage/Cyanogen) to a newer Android Version you most likely still have an old Kernel. So yes, I am very happy that I can s

I hope it will not take too long until FF gets hardware acceleration for videos on Linux (VAAPI/VDPAU). A few days ago I installed Arch Linux on a Netbook and was shocked to see that FF still doesn't have hardware acceleration for
