At risk of being called a conspiracy theorist, is it only Russia and China that do this, or do western government agencies also do this, to other countries or even to their own populations?

Peloton and Roku come to mind. But yeah, most seem to be acquired at some point, if successful.

I think the point is that some compression algorithms are lossy (the original cannot be reproduced by decompression) and others are not. You can’t restore a jpeg to its original image.

All those points are true for me using Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13. * Every piece of hardware has worked flawlessly: Ultrawide monitor, printer, wireless keyboard and mouse, Bluetooth mouse, Bluetooth headset, usb drives. * I am able to install

If the way to make Windows better is to install things that make it more like Linux, then I have to ask, why not just use Linux instead?

Adding an edit button is a “one way door”. Better be sure about it before you roll that out, because there is no going back. Maybe this will be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Twitter should do it. I don’t see people leaving Twitte

Yes! Put this on GitHub and let your co workers submit issues for the problems they have with you and pull requests for changes they want you to make. I'm starting to like this instruction manual idea more and more now ;)

To me, it seems a little condescending to be told how to act toward someone. On some level it is helpful to know your teammates, but on the other hand it can come across as self centered, like you think you're special and require speci

Probably because he just wanted to tell you how to act, not be told how he should act toward you.

Yes, the ads are trash and the creator of this should be ashamed. This "article" is just another example of what makes the web terrible. The sad thing is the content (vintage c64 pictures) would otherwise be interesting, but I gue

I've never understood why ivermectin is such a hot button issue that gets people worked up. If someone else has a doctor that prescribes it to them, and a pharmacy that fills the prescription, that should not be a problem, right? It&#x

I guess it depends on where OP is located, but most US states have at-will employment, and being a hacker is not a protected class, so I don’t see how this could be an illegal firing.

I think you could be right. This isn’t some “right click view source” nonsense. OP put in some decent amount of effort into compromising the bank’s system. A judge and jury will not understand this, even if they are a computer literate pow

No, not really. Maybe I hold a grudge longer than others though. On the very rare occasion I click a link that takes me to SourceForge, I just leave. I wonder why anyone still uses SourceForge. How is it better than GitHub or GitLab? Thi

I should be able to create my resume in yaml or json structure that conforms to some well known spec. Tooling could also be built to sync that with LinkedIn or generate a humane readable PDF version if you need it.

No offense, but that’s sort of a bitter take on software development and reads like a middle manager who has contempt for software engineers.

Sure, relying too much on heuristics can be a bad idea in tail risk situations. But other times, they make perfect sense and save a lot of time and effort. This post reads like a series of straw men created to show that heuristics are dange

Starting at $30k, but that is the lowest paid tier! I guess the thought is you can fire your developers and replace them with this. Ok I’m joking a little, but the sales pitch is probably that if you can hire one less developer, then it is

For me it’s Azure DevOps. We’re required to use it for the project I’m working on. Some things I hate: * Project backlog is a mess UI-wise. Lots of fields, with little to no explanation of what they drive. Generally a bad UI for working wit
