YMMV certainly. As it does for all of us. What I can say however is that the overall perceived stability and performance of my Mac has declined since the good old days of Moutain Lion. My 2017 MBP often freezes upon resume, there is a pal

57 user on OpenBSD here. No extension installed (at least to my knowledge ;)), no crash to report. It has been a pretty smooth experience so far.

I almost stopped reading at “google loaner“, and should have. It feels so much like a biased hit piece it could be ironic.

RPL is a fine language. System RPL gave me Tourette’s syndrome.

That’s exactly the point I understood, too. But for some people we are all equivalent so it’s a non-issue; for some others it’s an edulcorated form of ethnic cleansing. There are rarely be topics of greater divide where these two opposite e

That’s also my experience. I do a lot of Thai boxing and I need to control my weight to maintain my weight class. I switched from a balanced diet to a keto diet hoping for change but at the end both averaged the same. The only difference wa

I cut my salary in half going back to research after some years in a HFT gig. I'm gaining quality of work (wider breadth of topics), quality of people (world class researchers) and quality of life (office 10 min from home instead of 90

This is a dangerous argument. The government censors this or that site. But wait, you have a VPN? Then your rights are respected. Oh, the government forbids VPN. But wait, you have Tor? Then you rights are respected. Making one particular m

I'm glad to see the EFF making the point I'be been trying to make all week; at the cost of multiple downvotes: "Because internet intermediaries, especially those with few competitors, control so much online speech, the conseq

I truly wonder when we, as a society, started to grow so fragile. So brittle that the slightest exposure to disagreeable ideas would make us shatter and lose ground. Education is supposed to give us tools to make us intellectually stronger.

Tor does not support any vile things. It's a freedom platform. A tool. Honor is not in the blade but in the hand that holds it.

It's not unreasonable. The point I am trying to make (and at which I am obviously failing) is that it's not because Nazis carry one kind of flag, perform one kind of salute and chant one kind of chant, that people doing the same t

What he means is all this is a far cry from an actual Nazi movement. I don't think you really appreciate what the NSDAP was. The NSDAP was build on a very strong military base (disenchanted veterans) and was using very strict military

The issue at hand is not about serving the DNS but registering a DNS. One could serve its own domain name server as long as they have been able to register it first. Unfortunately, not everyone can become a registrar. And if all registrar r

Those are real questions to which I don't have an answer. Although I don't believe web hosting is the problem here. Anyone can build a server and have it accessed using his own IP. So censorship (by design or as a byproduct) would

That is not my point. I do not see a problem with Google refusing service to the Daily Stormer. However, the story started with GoDaddy kicking them out then Google refusing their services. Two occurrences are too few to infer a trend, bu

It becomes censorship when all accesses to a medium (ie. DNS resolvers) are privatized. In other words, if all private providers refuse them access to a medium and if we agree this people still have rights, there is nothing in place to defe

Regardless of the topic, censorship (private or public) can never be an acceptable reaction. To quote Louis Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice): "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil

So now sociability is a negative trait? I for one would be delighted to find an efficient way to make coding more social. Many a reason why software design is so hard is exactly because most programmers are autistic nerds that tend to produ
