I think you're underestimating the stability that such practices provide for enterprise. This is what people pay Redhat for. Not all upstreams are interested in doing release engineering. There are non zero costs to doing it. It can

The problem is these sorts of things are trivia. They are things that sufficiently smart tooling should handle for us so people can spend time building higher level constructs and less time worrying about individual bits. A smart compiler

I love that screenshot. Personally I really dislike the hot trend in UX to removing information in order to make the display look "cleaner." For serious work, like investing, I want my software to use all my screen real estate an

The website owner still has the ultimate responsibility for what is served on their site. If they employ some "social media marketing expert" who deploys tracking code, then that's still on them.

He pretty much has to respond positively. Otherwise people would shit all over him for not being a "good sport."

Yes but Telegram continues to avoid fixing flaws that have been pointed out by cryptographers. It's one thing to get some security wrong because its "hard." It's another to not fix those problems when people explain how

If Telegram claims to be secure but relies on unsecure technologies that makes it easy to circumvent its security isn't that still Telegram's fault? Just because others are also vulnerable to the same failings doesn't absolve

In 10 more years we'll almost be where applets where 10 years ago! Except now in a slower single threaded language with a worse GUI toolkit.

There's no such thing as "excessive amounts of water." Just because current demand hasn't exhausted our current water supplies doesn't mean it's not worth conserving. Here in Canada we have the Great Lakes whi

Large corporations are just as bad at "deregulating" It's human nature. Nobody wants to be the one to remove a test case, procedure or process. If something goes bad shortly afterwards guess who will be to blame? Even in so

You could achieve the same thing via virutalization. Run a small OS first which has remote management capability, and then boot straight into a virutalized OS that the user uses.

I guess that's true. That being said, if you use S/MIME or GPG on top of I2P-Bote that doesn't remove the original stated concern of having all messages stored and accessible to everyone in encrypted form.

Then find someone interested in paying for its development? Security improvements to Linux are great. However a hardened linux kernel is a derived work of the kernel. It's unethical to take free software, build upon it, redistribute t

If you're already going to use gpg or S/MIME then I2P-Bote provides no value IMO. We already have a basic level transport system called IP, and it's quite efficient.

Also just because they want to build it doesn't mean they will ever finish. Nor does it mean that they're able to build what they've set out to build. Anyone remember the DayZ standalone? People said the same thing about ro
