   Hyper certainly looks cool, but “looks cool” doesn’t cut it when it comes to winning me over for what might be the #1 most important tool I use on a daily basis. Is there a page telling me why I should use this over my current terminal (iTe

   Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. They don’t necessarily self-describe with those exact words, but it’s not by any means a stretch based on the org’s teachings.

   That's a cool idea and will normally work, but won't prevent homograph attacks entirely. Identities can still be spoofed if they can be constructed entirely from glyphs in the intersection of two unicode blocks. E.g. `ΝΙΚΕ.ϹΟΜ` an

   One common way to defend against a partial (or full) homograph attack is to have clients render IDNs as punycode. The downside is that it kinda pulls the plug on non-ascii domains. :-\

   For a time, macbooks had opto-isolated USB ports[0]. I think they don’t anymore though. [0] https://github.com/usbkill/community/wiki/Consumer-Laptop-Ha...

    If I’m honest, I think it’s the most intelligible file in the folder (besides the readme) so its issues were more accessible to me.

    I haven’t heard about this, can you provide a link with more info? I ask because I run a simple local DNS recursor with a blacklist and I haven’t run into any issues with YouTube.

    I literally cannot find a shell that I’ve heard of that doesn’t support aliases. Surely some must exist, so I’d be delighted if anyone here could point me towards one.

    I clicked on the GitHub repo in the hopes that it was going to acknowledge that shells have aliases built-in but that this is somehow different. I’m afriad to say that appears not to be the case. Worst of all, you can’t even use your shell’

    This was long and somewhat meandering, but offered a much more thorough explanation of the “50 words for snow” factoid’s saga than I’d ever heard before. For that, I’m happy I read the whole thing.

    What sort of graph were you picturing? I was imagining wealth x population, in which case “area under the curve” would be “total population”, and wouldn’t change under a redistribution operation. I don’t know whether your claim about total

    I’m not an expert at all, but I think I know how to answer your question in the somewhat mathy terms you’ve framed your it in. I think the main argument is to get rid of a bi- (or multi-) modal distribution and move to a unimodal normal dis

    You’re not wrong, but colloquially it’s common for people to use “exponentially” to mean “a lot”. Just like it’s common for people to use “massive” to mean “big” (i.e. large spatial volume).

    Correct. The recent news is that companies who lease bare-metal often don’t do a good job cleaning up after previous tenants’ BMC modifications. Currently this is happening at least with an IBM platform where they’re leasing Supermicro host

    Got it. Yeah I see what you mean. This rule is more about them wanting to maintain control over distribution than it is about having a custom desktop / windowing metaphor. They don’t want people to create a platform within their platfo

    Honestly I probably shouldn’t have mentioned SSH, because it also doesn’t really deserve any blame here. People can / do tunnel real-time traffic through SSH without any problem. The real root problem is wanting to get so much detailed
