You can’t edit them in Word, so that must be too advanced for most people. LibreOffice never opened the PDFs too well for me, but Inkspace was pretty good, one page at a time though.

The terminal backlog is just sitting in memory as well. Just don’t leave passwords there, remove them immediately. You also have an option not to save the command in history, e.g. whitespace prefix in bash. Half of my bash commands that a

On one hand this is not a big deal, on the other one this is a fallback option on a slow connection and no access to IMAP apps. Someone’s day will be ruined.

Singapore has a government dating service, SDU, right? They try to do eugenics on top of that though, so the long term relations might not have the highest priority as well.

Good luck with generation-spanning vendettas created by such approach.

That’s right, security-minded people trust OpenBSD instead.

HTML, CSS and JS are not the best pieces of technology, otherwise there would not have been a whole industry of tools that allowed you not to touch them with a ten-foot pole. But we are stuck with them at least for a while.

Borland was the alternative. You could throw together a C++ database application in a day. And if you used Delphi you even could not justify a coffee break by the long compile time.

Error handling? What error handling? Corner cases, what corner cases? The software industry still suffers greatly from the decisions made in UNIX. Only the SUID bit caused so much trouble. It’s crazy to this that we still have /usr&#x2

The wealth is skipping a generation. That would be a very strange age/role reversal.

I also wonder. No updates yet.

The main difference is the power requirement. Jamming wide band signals requires more power.

Good luck debugging cases it gets wrong. LLMs seeping into cases that have one valid solution will bring so many new problems to random customers.

The one from the lab does not have blood, sweat and tears spent on mining it. Lab workers overtime at best. Maybe if artificial diamonds are made from forsaken orphan ashes they would have a similar sentimental value.

Wireless communications are inherently jammable. Where is the border between this and a bunch of microwaves jamming cell reception? I’m not saying Apple should not have done a better job in anti-spam measures, but “please don’t” is a basis

Please don’t give him air. He is a crackpot.

I’ve had a mouse cursor move slowly when doing some tasks in Chrome. And all other apps barely reacting. Still a mystery to me. I hope that was not a sign of some backdoor being installed through a Chrome vulnerability.

This should not be the case even on a single CPU machines that run interactive jobs. This is a shoddy process scheduling work.

I’ve seen this happen, but I don’t understand why that is possible. Chrome tabs are separate process, how can one tab freeze the whole browser even when running the worst code in existence?

I hope this will not result in FCC being dismantled or nerfed.

After the fall of USSR it was widely assumed that market economy will make China a democracy given enough time. The euphoria on the early ‘90s in the West is hard to imagine now. End of history and everything.

This is not even the worst thing Russian agents have done. They used radioactive and chemical weapons to conduct assassinations. They even blew up ammo depots. That is still below the threshold of reasons good enough to declare war on a nuc

“The air seller” by Belyayev reminded me a lot about the more wacky side of James Bond. The protagonist is not glamorous, can’t do that in USSR. But it does have a villain that tries to take over the world with revolutionary technology from

Are all those technical people Linux kernel hackers? Maybe even just hackers, running a some BSD OS. You should realize “I don’t know people who do X” is a very weak argument.

Most young men in the US are already alone[1]. And this will get only worse unless something radical happens. The dating apps strategies do not help. Reverting to offline dating will need to restore the environment that facilitates it. [1]

Nokia also released 9210 about the same time as 3310. From that perspective iPhone was even less of an improvement and a step back in some aspects.

Between Stalker and Call of Duty they probably know at least something. And documentaries about Chernobyl were common on Russian TV.

Core meltdown is never a nothing burger. The containment vessel worked though, so at least the engineering was sound.
