It's a privacy invasion scam. At a previous employer they wanted to track our steps and our GPS location and also wanted us to record every glass of water we drink. It's a disgusting ruse. I don't care if they were going to g

Considering the number of faulty/dangerous USB-C cables and chargers out there I don't expect to see Apple to do this.

I know I'm going to get backlash for this, but whatever <rant> The article and the docs make it pretty clear that this can be accomplished with a couple shell commands. I don't understand why everyone begs for handouts these

You're pushing raw data to the GPU which is directly executed. I've heard there's a ~15% performance increase doing it this way, but you could never do this with a general purpose OS due to the huge security problems it creat

iOS is not completely open source, so how do you know that Apple isn't scraping your screen or the iOS keyboard isn't sending your characters? Also, Apple's push messaging subsystem gets a copy of (most) of the message too so

How? A console is a very specialized device. The GPU access is vastly different from what you get when you use accelerated drivers on Linux/FreeBSD, for example. If you can compile it on Linux, you can probably compile it on FreeBSD. S

Yahoo still has FreeBSD and some FreeBSD devs, but the focus isn't on FreeBSD anymore

In FreeBSD 6 I could get more fps in America's Army FPS game through Linuxulator on FreeBSD than through running native Linux.

Well Solaris has always been a technically superior OS, but the userland was unfriendly compared to Linux.

What patches do people want applied that are missing? I know there are several patches as port options on FreeBSD.

How big is an MP3 album? 20MB? Maybe 30MB? That's nothing. Their global CDN can handle that without sweating.

My wife and I would be very sad if Pebble went away. Even "crippled" with iOS it is a huge improvement. * my phone is permanently on silent. Only my watch vibrates. I've found this to be much more professional. * good step tr

TCP doesn't really provide the reliability that people assume it does. UDP is often used because it is expected that the connection will be unreliable.

FTP is 40 years old and was designed for an internet where there was no NAT. Let it die already.

latency is especially important for small I/Os, but there are a ton of things that can be done to improve latency in general at an OS and network level

Don't forget this[1] gem which is my favorite way to use letsencrypt. It will let me run it by cron (or periodic on FreeBSD) plus I can have my own post-run script that takes my certificates and keys and puts them in the format I need

How can you honestly think VMs are the most secure form of isolation?

Are you serious? You're not serious. Are you? What?

This argument is only similar if the condom is known to have huge design flaws VMs have tons of well documented issues. If you want a smaller attack surface, try OS virtualization technologies (zones/jails)

Yes, and if there's a problem with your car that needs an ECU firmware update ... you tend to have to have that done by an authorized dealership.

If you desire to simulate a bad network you would really appreciate the power of dummynet on FreeBSD. It is very simple to simulate links with specific bandwidth, delay, and packet loss.

I worked for them for a short time due to an acquisition. They're crazy. They think they're solving the world's problems with polling data and they force you to be psycho-analyzed and have a plaque at your desk displaying you
