Yes. I usually install a browser addon like Leechblock (Firefox) or Blacklist (Chrome). I succeeded in completely eliminating reading about sports at work. This was so effective that I don't really follow sports anymore at all. I'

No, not uninhabitable. But there have been orders of magnitude more people killed in dam disasters than nuclear plant meltdowns. I haven't done the math, but I would suspect this is true even adjusting for the popularity of dams. Here&

No, user software should not dictate kernel versions, unless there is no alternative (e.g. security issues). Maybe I'm unique in this, but I don't have a single-purpose workstation. My computer does not exist to run Google Chrome;

That comment is just supposition. The author has not demonstrated any knowledge of VMware development or legal practices.

A bit of a tangent but... are you sure? I just replaced a dead drive in an old Mini with an SSD, then installed Yosemite. I'm not really an Apple guy, so I was not aware that Yosemite implemented kext (driver) signing, which had the si

In this model I think you'd distribute something in an intermediate bytecode, like .NET does w/ MSIL, and then the target system would be responsible for precompiling. Edit: just saw this: https://news.ycombinator.com&#

The OpenSSH included with msysgit uses msys I think , but otherwise I don't think there's a native OpenSSH for Windows.

No, cats kill for fun, or at least they do so for reasons beyond securing their next meal. If you've had a cat, especially an 'outside cat,' you will know this to be true.

It was really the other way around. NetApp had Sun in court over ZFS infringing on WAFL patents[1] well before the buyout. I certainly don't know all the ways people use their Macs, but it seems like ZFS would not get a lot of use in O

TL;DR: 1. Author dislikes ZFS because you can't grow and shrink a pool however you want. 2. Author likes BTRFS because it implements more flexible grow/shrink, but finds that in other ways it's unstable, and is unhappy that B

The only thing wrong with this comment (IMO) is the assertion that companies help governments kill journalists. I'm not asserting they don't , but I don't consider it common knowledge that they do, i.e. please provide a sour

I wonder about that too. In my mind at least, there is a distinction between requiring neutral treatment of traffic routing through a network and requiring an operator to let a competitor hook up their equipment in your facilities and sell

There may be corruption involved, but the infrastructure costs are not imaginary. Modern cable infrastructure is not a big coaxial cable strung along telephone poles. It's often buried fiber with media conversion for a local loop. Eith

Has Cameron or the UK gov't actually taken actual steps to ban encryption, or is this entire article extrapolating that from the 'no safe space to communicate' quote?

Sure you can, at least with houses: that's what a manufactured/mobile home is. The problem is that in the US a manufactured home is usually considered substandard, low class or otherwise undesirable.

I think the difference is that you get to choose whether to enter into the loan agreement, you're provided all the terms up front, and you have access to legal counseling prior to accepting the agreement. If you have to make a mental a

I've always wondered what the actual best practice is with rejection rules. I tend to prefer issuing reset/unreachable since as the article points out it does make the port look like it's truly unused. On the other hand, elim

So is asserting superiority on the basis of not eating meat. Edit: I don't understand the downvotes for this. Nazism is not all about racial cleansing and gas chambers; it has a strong social darwinist component in general. The vegetar

It may be called infringement, but the process and outcome is really the same as theft. These companies have something they own, they have the right to control how it's distributed, they intend to distribute it to you under specific te
