I will never get used to the trailing slash on source arguments in BSD cp (that copies directory contents rather than the directory itself)! The first thing I do on an OS X machine is install GNU coreutils.

Great point for point rebuttal. I was annoyed at the original article when it was circulated recently. As eevee points out, most of the original author's points are invalid or unimportant, and to me it seems that he is just mad he has

WebP support was added briefly in the macOS Sierra (10.12) public betas, but was removed. It doesn't seem to work in Safari right now (macOS Sierra 10.12.2 beta), according to this test page: https://developers.google.com&#x

I take issue primarily with the "safer" claim. Chrome employs the most security mitigations of any browser on the market. An article from mid 2016 about grading software security like car security quantifies this nicely. Edge wasn

A recent post about Wickr's bug bounty program painted them in a pretty poor light. The company appears to have invited security researchers to contribute to a bug bounty program and then, after researchers found and reported dozens of

Speaking of smooth animations, the blog post is hosted on Medium, and I've always admired Medium's image zoom thing because it's so smooth!

Oh, definitely. Open-source software is awesome. I'm just saying it's a shame that they do such awesome work and have to keep it parallel, maintaining a ton of their own software (or suitcase full of patches) with their small team

It's well known in the information security community for years. But here's a recent article on grading software security like how we grade cars: https://theintercept.com/2016/07/29/a-famed-hacker-is

But privacy != security. Chrome implements the most security mitigations compared to all other browsers.

Yes, the Elementary team has been doing great work for years. Sad that it's all parallel to the efforts of the larger GNOME Desktop project. I don't know how much code gets shared between the two, but I cringe to think that Elemen

Looks nice. I'm annoyed that you can't get a 2560x1440 screen for less than $1850 (the highest model), and all the lower models come with touch screens, which I don't want.

They look great actually. Are you running Linux or Windows? I've been a Mac user for the last few years, but spent the few before that as a ThinkPad + GNU/Linux guy. I could see myself going back to GNU/Linux on the desktop o

I switched to GraphicsMagick a few years ago too. I find that its command line options make more sense and that it produces better results. I do ad-hoc tests from time to time and and the difference between the two isn't earth shatteri

It's funny you mentioned processes entering a quasi-paused SIGSTOP-ish state. I swear I've been having tons of problems with Java/Tomcat the past week or so I've been on 10.12.1 (betas), and I keep thinking I broke my co

systemd-nspawn is great! The workflow feels much more native than Docker on GNU/Linux host. The easy integration with networking, BTRFS snapshots, etc is very powerful.

Love it! Reminds me of Dan Carlin's "Kings of Kings" series in his Hardcore History podcast. The world was fascinating back then. Even the names of people/places were epic: Ninevah, the Elamites, the Assyrians, Ahura Maz

Well UTM parameters are part of the URL itself, which is useful to strip so you don't request them in the first place, and of course for cleaner links when sharing. Using an ad/tracker blocker is complimentary.

I think it's just that the UI feels laggy when switching tabs, especially if another page is loading. This might be getting better, though: today I just randomly stumbled on this Mozilla wiki page discussing their plan for dealing with

TL;DR from the lead developer Rich Salz, on Twitter: openssl 1.1.0a had a use-after-free bug in its fix. :( 1.0.2 had a crash in its fix. :( please update. https://twitter.com/RichSalz/status/780383148236541953

Great examples of font pairings—web fonts have come a long way! I like the parallel trend of web sites/frameworks like Medium, WordPress, Bootstrap, GitHub, etc moving to using native system fonts, though[0]. Make websites look good on

Wow. My message to the banks: We are trying to build a more secure internet. Update your servers, libraries, etc every few years like the rest of us. You're not special. It's hard for all of us.
