I always use Linux as my preferred OS and a "Just Works" OS like macOS or Windows. I run Linux as a dual-boot and I run it in a VM from Windows/mac. It's frustrating because Apple has fallen far behind on hardware I want

I sort of wonder if Microsoft could create a mode for Windows where if it detects a security update available, it MUST update. I have spent a lot of the time trying to get Windows to just fucking STOP, but there are environments where secu

I'm looking forward to the day we can operate dedicated, proprietary GPUs like black boxes we can turn on and off at will as optional accelerators. :-)

The real world doesn't update in 2 months. (I wish it did.) The NSA should have responsibly disclosed the vulnerabilities they had been sitting on as soon as they were discovered. That protects national security - not this.

I look forward to a RISC-V proc powering my laptop with some ridiculous Nvidia GPU. We must escape x86 :(

I have for the longest time wanted to filter npm-search results by shared dependencies or licenses. Package management could be so much better.

Build a dome. Don't invite these people into the dome. Watch them cook, drown, or freeze upon retirement (if you have the luxury of retiring).

Like some of the other comments in reply to yours, I usually focus on a technical issue that stumped me for a long while - and then a change in perspective allowed me to solve it, or understand the solution offered by someone else. It&#x27

Would it be crazy to say sitting on exploits is effectively "inserting a backdoor"? Maybe it doesn't have a doormat but it certainly still grants you access. To me this would seem against the mission statement of protecting

I do understand the importance of keeping a realistic view of the problem - I'm just wondering why with all the open ocean area we don't create massive solar-powered debris collectors. I guess using wave motion is cooler, but you

You make a decent point, but it's like saying "we need these protections codified in our laws, get to work lawmakers!" while resigning ourselves to months or even years of abuse by these corporations. The problem is, an ISP

It's kind of a shame they didn't let their imagination fly with that one... I wish integrity were a global attribute, because I could totally see using it for things like images and audio/video.

Chrome added a feature a long while back I really wanted for ages. The ability to specify the checksum of a linked asset, so that it can be verified as it's downloaded (and untrusted/discarded if not). I just can't find the

Speaking almost entirely unrelated to the topic: Phones need to become general-purpose minicomputers, with the cellular modem "attached" as a peripheral (like over USB). As soon as we start treating them like full-blown computer

I think I might be a little outdated on my knowledge of VPNs, but wouldn't they throw inefficiency into how your traffic is routed around the internet? It's not like you're going for the most efficient exit out of the VPN cl

I think we'll struggle for a long while to make the smartphone our main computer. One that can interface smoothly with wireless displays and peripherals at home. I could totally see a smartphone hooking up to another computer for game

What's weird to me is Republicans say regulation is bad - and don't get hurt by a _lack_ of regulation. How can people in that party be so gung-ho to make themselves vulnerable? They're not all part of the 1%. Surely they

Well this is kinda fucking disgusting. I had previously thought lawmakers may simply not understand the issue they're ruling on - which is too common. I don't understand why this needs to remove the ability for the FCC to do it&

The problem is DRM has been used for more than digital rights management. We've seen it used to surveill the user and collect information - and restrict actions on the users' computer when it thinks you're doing something il

So what you're saying is... Instead of Edward Snowden releasing documents confirming the widespread surveillance methods, he should have stolen and released indecent photos of dignitaries and ordinary citizens alike. That would have b

I was thinking Lyft doesn't necessarily need Uber to fail, they're doing just fine?

Not that Uber isn't doing this to themselves... but I wonder who has the most to gain from all the bad press Uber is getting this past month.

When I interviewed with Triplebyte I had applied to actually become part of their staff. I was told I'd go through the standard process and then afterward we'd talk about what Triplebyte does in-depth and what the responsibilitie
