The legacy of autoconf! People look at autoconf's output to learn shell, but autoconf output is full of bad practices, working around bugs in shells that noone's ever heard of. Autoconf output is expected to run on buggy shells w

Huh? Backspace works the same for me in Bash C-r as it does in Emacs C-r.

While I'm not a fan of the title it was submitted with, a backdoor is a heck of a lot different than a "normal" vulnerability; to the point where just saying "vulnerability" is a bit misleading. Perhaps: "WD M

Copperhead maintains the -hardened patchset, which is essentially a fork of Grsecurity, largely because of those concerns. (I don't use CopperheadOS on my phone, but I do use their work in the form of linux-hardened on my desktop!)

Given that many of the readers here have never (knowingly) encountered someone with such a position, it might be a good time for you to elaborate on why you want NN regulations repealed, and expose HN readers to that viewpoint.

As others have said, "purely functional data structure" is a jargon term with a precise meaning--that fact that this is true indicates that data structures can, in fact, be functional in this sense. To claim that "the word &

FWIW, the lead developer of Trisquel is employed by the FSF, though working on Trisquel isn't part of his job duties.

Yes, the header should match the body encoding, but it doesn't necessarily have to; that is in part what the <meta http-equiv> tag is for; it may be interpreted as saying "the value of header is potentially wrong, use this

In the email I received, it's a non-ASCII apostrophe encoded in UTF-8. The email headers say "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1", but then the HTML body says "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

In some cases, yes, in some cases no. Many of those in the camp came from Turkey, and they often lack a legal way to travel back to Turkey from Greece.

They may not leave the camp. There are barb-wire fences and guards. They not there as punishment, but they are literally being detained; hence "detention camp".

On Arch Linux, it's been enabled by default for several years, and I've been using it daily for that time. On x86_64, it's plenty stable, but I see why it's still experimental: On i686 there's a bug where files are

Yalp is a FOSS Android app available from F-droid. The Yalp app on your phone talks directly to the Google Play servers.

Because it's a FOSS application, and you can read the source and verify that the Yalp app is indeed talking directly to Google Play servers?

certbot, the reference ACME implementation, should work with Python 2 and 3 (it definitely works with 3; I haven't verified 2 with recent versions), and it does not require root (though the default configuration will want it).

You can do everything the common pattern way with timesyncd as well. 1) Install the package (it's probably part of the systemd package you already have) 2) Modify the configuration file if needed (/etc/systemd/timesyncd.

In several cases, the order of the args for a syscall varies between architectures--writing a general "arg0" doesn't make a lot of sense. That said, I don't know what's up with it using 32-bit register names.

So how do you ensure that one tab wasn't much louder than the other? In this case, it doesn't make much sense to treat the browser as a single application, but each site as one (does Chrome export each tab as a separate source to

Then you tell your movie player to just make it louder, discarding that beautiful dynamic range. If you're paying close enough attention to the movie to care about the loss of dynamic range, then you probably aren't doing somethi

Oh! When all of the GUIs say sound is at max, but it's either really quiet or silent, and it turns out that it's because even though the PA volume is up, somehow ALSA (which PA ultimately uses on the backend) got muted. But this

Also spoken confidently like someone that never tried to play sound in two applications at once. This has worked well in ALSA for years now. Now, ALSA won't let you set the volume of each application separately, but most applications
