Seems like an odd method, but I believe that is how they are specifically targeting macOS machines for this particular malware.

I don't really get why comments like this continue to pop up on HN. There are many non-science topics that make their way to the front page of HN regularly. Per the guidelines, on-topic submissions do not need to strictly be about prog

Not exactly your experience, but using a single (non-4k) external monitor is slightly painful for me with my MBP. It sometimes takes ~10 seconds for my display to work after plugging it in, with lots of intermittent flickering as the OS &qu

Brendan Eich's defense of this scheme [0] seems a bit weak to me. Do you really think the solution is to make creators opt out? What in the world makes you think it's okay to represent people who have not asked for your assistance

I installed Corel Linux on the family computer when I was 13. It was my first Linux distribution. Someone from school got the disc out of a magazine if I remember correctly. I couldn't get the modem to work and the installer didn'

YMMV, but where I work (non-tech company) contractors are treated quite well. I think the general feeling from most of the company is that contractors are hired to do specific project work, so their domain knowledge is narrow and specialize

The states rights thing is pervasive. I was taught the same thing in a public school all the way up North in Michigan. (late 90s, early 2000s)

IMO it's the breadth and depth that is possible with our digital property. It's one thing to search the digital equivalent of some luggage (maybe the contents of a cellphone) and another thing entirely to be able to search through

I've been using FF on my 2015 MBP as my daily driver for at least 2 years and haven't had any problems. I mean, it's a battery hog for sure, but no more so than Chrome or any other modern browser with dozens of tabs open. Eve

I was with you until the end of your comment: > llvm + clang is actually open source (more open) via a MIT license instead of gpl How is a license that allows someone or some corporation to take some code, add to it, and make those addi

Thanks for mentioning this! I used to play the shareware version that I got from one of those "1001 Games" type discs back in the day. I see the creator released it into public domain so it looks like I'll be wasting a few ho

I had pretty much the exact same experience and it seems we're about the same age. It was my first exposure to online gaming and I remember being so amazed that you could play a game like that over the internet with total strangers! Ch

Kind of a hard argument to make when there are plenty of examples of contributions to computing that weren't bankrolled by monopolies. Just think about how much, especially in the early days, came out of academia alone. And I'm no

Guilty as charged, as well. I download just about any programming manual/book that's free in PDF or similar form and I've probably read maybe 10% of them.

What a strange straw man. People who are very concerned about their online privacy are likely not using that as their DNS.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I'm guessing you aren't. Anyway, from a full time Java developer's perspective, lambdas and the FP stuff added to Java 8 have sort of been a holy grail. Filtering with str

You should talk to more women. I've heard stories from women who have experienced very scary things while walking alone at night. Thankfully none of them actually ended in rape or assault, but they were dangerous situations that rightf

I don't understand how your example is comparable. On one hand we have motorcycling, a mode of transportation that is fairly risky I suppose but is largely gender agnostic. On the other hand, walking alone at night in a city leaves you

I hope I'm not alone in saying that if we lose net neutrality I'll be looking to help organize and set up a locally owned/operated ISP in my area.

I'm afraid you might be in the minority. A strong majority of developers I know (and even those whose desks I just walk past) seem to be using dark themes in their editors/IDE's. Personally, I find that if I'm looking at

Think of it this way: I've perused enough local news comment sections to know that people who are inclined to find Chelsea Manning to be a traitor are also generally more inclined to hate trans people. So, maybe this doesn't incre

Can you comment on how easy it is to "go back"? I've always heard it's difficult to find employment as a developer once you have a gap in your resume.

If that's the case (and I don't doubt it is, I really don't know how this filtering is supposed to work), isn't that sort of missing the point? The way I understand it, plenty of "credible, established" media o

You're being downvoted on the basis of your ideology, which I imagine is somewhat unpopular here. Your posts are of otherwise good quality. It would be nice if people started a dialog instead of silently downvoting, but I guess that wo

This is just a thought, but perhaps this is due to an internal effort at FB to filter out "fake news". The changes in their algorithm might be showing some unintended consequences, or maybe the stories from the Tribune that are ge

Lots of species have gone extinct due to the meddling of human beings, which is something many might not consider to be nature running its course.

When you use the word restrictive without any other context to describe copyleft licenses, as you just have, it only serves to intentionally make the license look bad/unappealing, which is disingenuous at best. It's only restricti
