……or this is why you let people own the hardware they purchase and give up on this ridiculous “secure” boot idea?

Is it really necessary to run third-party javascript that "checks my browser" (collects information about me?) before letting me read the article?

The article discusses similar executive orders and laws originating from Democrats as well (New York and California)...

In a functional language like Haskell or O'Caml, it feels like half of what you write involves enums (sum types). They're fantastic in those contexts and I really miss them in python. But OO is a different approach to data and I s

Wait, so is your problem sending a file to someone in particular, or is your problem getting text on the internet?

From your landing page, I don't understand what happens when you run `wsend file.txt`. Where does the file go?

Do you have to use WWW? How about a torrent? > why isn't it easier today to put something on the internet than it was 10 years ago? Interesting question. If it's easy, then probably you're putting your content onto someone

A few issues with this. (1) it can be both. Disadvantages of dark skin tones combined with apathy/lack of effort to address it. (2) It can be an effect of systemic racism without being an intentionally conscious effort at white suprema

I hate proctoring software with a passion and I will never ever ask my students to use it. But I think it's important to understand where the demand for this software is coming from. In the "old" days, 20 students walked into

This doesn't scale, and teaching these days is expected to scale.

On the contrary, the justice system was working against him for the entire two years between his arrest and suicide. Additional indictments, plea deals, counter-offers, threats, etc. Two years of a person's life before they even get to

Actually they like using copyright to enforce software freedom, but I see your point.

I was confused about the "doing it" part. I see that they have all the materials and got some numbers like average power consumption, but they didn't seem to actually set it up and see how it worked?

I think this discussion contrasts two opposite types of "fundamentals". Some "fundamentals" sit at the base of a knowledge pyramid. If an OS developer doesn't know pointers, there's no easy fix for that. You wa

That caught my eye too. The others all looked reasonable (including Marxism) but the socialism one sounds like a caricature of an ignorant facebook post.

I’m in academia and willingness to look stupid (sometimes to be stupid) is an important and difficult skill that we try hard to train and almost all of my colleagues now have. But I believe that it’s also very cultural and gendered so it’s

Those criticisms are definitely common these days: lots of Sipser-style material is not very relevant or pedagogically compelling. I think push-down automata are a great example that many people would be happy to skip. On the other hand, th

What are you doing on your laptop where you can see such a big difference? My x86 laptop (Purism Librem 14) has an all-day battery and plenty more performance than I need. But I don't do things like compile code all day. If I were runn
