Sounds like learned helplessness to me. The only sensible inner practice I've found is refinement of character. It works both when practiced publicly and when practiced privately. And aspects of character can be built, sustained and re

Those people actually become larger by virtue of occupying their minds with money. Numbers signify connections (groups) so it's just natural. It's a lack of exchange caused by lack of specificity of requests and a lack of discernm

Let me attempt to draw you a pyramid of home location needs: 5. Political situation - not a warzone? Not under sharia? Very democratic, or key to world issues you consider important? 4. Climate - no tundra/sahara? Would you benefit fro

That tactic makes sense when you want to communicate to people on a much lower level than you are at, and you want them to get the surface level rapidly. If this were to be levied at me accusingly I'd throw a programming Bible at them,

However, MAN spaces are everywhere, Japan especially is having great success creating spaces that are exclusively occupied by a single man for weeks, and sometimes years at a time.

No, it was a platform for free speech and sharing images, which happened to include discussions between national socialists. It wasn't a "Neo-Nazi" platform any more than YouTube is. "Elliot Rodger's Retribution&quo

They're not! Confidence and unregulated overt vulnerability are conflicting (but not precisely opposite). By acknowledging the possibility that you may have done something wrong, you make yourself vulnerable to judgment, and by doing

Some syntax errors re.: "chosenOrient" and "orientRobust"? I'm on Firefox 60.8 and uBO but not blocking stringently, just Google Analytics from the logs. I got overloaded by the page being fully editable/intera

What do you mean by detectable in the context of Git-as-append-only-log?

by dromen 10y ago
Some more advanced Git operations (I sadly never needed so far) can be used to break the "append only" part, right? Like for instance rebases?

Can you use Whatsapp to talk to friends on Telegram or Messenger? We're in a period of closed chat ecosystems (Joe Schmoe doesn't use Matrix, IRC or XMPP) and fairly spacious smartphone storage, which in my circles means that peop

Uhm... I don't think it's hard at all to acquire the materials to build a bomb. I'm not disputing it's still the hard part of planning a terrorist attack, still... A teenager can get a kilo of ammonium nitrate online for

What if you don't have social media accounts? Reports like this tend to trigger a Google search for my own name and correspondence with all sites that show up, "please delete all my shit". Finally deleted my Facebook account

Like how moms aren't "levels of access"? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

You could store them as source files with a hashbang, and make something like "rustrun" which compiles a single Rust source code file and runs the resulting executable? That should take ~15 minutes. I do wish there was an actual R

Can't the FBI request services from the NSA? And there have been versions of the Intel ME in the wild with known remote exploits AFAIK.

I recently tried the PlayStation VR in a store; it was a really strange experience to look down at myself when playing the EVE demo, to find out I a) had a body and b) it was of the other gender. I thought that was the most interesting part

If your threat model includes targeted attacks I'd have serious doubts even about using Curl.

It makes WhatsApp effectively not E2E encrypted. All messages can be recovered by Facebook. How is that NOT a backdoor?

by dromen 10y ago
We can't have perfect trust in the server, so this feature being supported by the client breaks the security guarantees of WhatsApp's E2E encryption.

How does Google do this legally at all? Can I just download and redistribute any and all content I find on the net, and then present it as if it's the original? More specifically, how do they not get sued into oblivion for copyright in

I watched the Rust packaging effort via the mailing list, and that seems to be going quite well. Would you happen to know a good video or writeup on why language-specific package managers are a bad idea? I mean, the situation with C and C++

Are there specific things you had issues with? Debian Testing still feels more stable and as feature-filled as Ubuntu Xenial to me.
