Interesting, looks almost like how you'd write Go using S-expressions. Seems like you have access to the stdlib from the examples. I wonder if you could use other Go libraries. I also wonder if you can use co-routines or channels. This

I don't see what your issue is with syncthing. syncthing is meant to be cross platform, so using inotify was an obvious problem. Plus syncthing is an entirely different use case from glusterfs. Think Dropbox, not one-filesystem-across-

Sigh. This is just becoming the same as Cable TV. In Cable TV days you had numerous premium channels you had to subscribe to which gave you access to movies/shows. You needed multiple subscriptions to get access to "all" the

Exactly, you don't even need to configure an account/email with an online service to use your phone if you go this route.

Interesting. The idea is that index funds implicitly favor collusion between companies in the same industry since investors/institutions own the competing companies (perhaps even at the same weight). That is, an index owning both Coke

yeah, but what are the terms of the license/lease. I haven't read it/don't know, but what if the terms are basically "you have access for as long as we feel like giving you access"

I think this is where the adult industry can act as the "bridge" and can make use of VR as it is today until it is mature enough for gaming. The lack of input/feedback isn't that big of a deal since for adult entertainme

This is why some people use the "offline" applications like GnuCash[1] or cli-ledger[2]. These programs can be used in such a way that they don't even know the financial institutions you do business with, never mind usernames

I don't see where you're getting the "reprint the paper, and redistribute it to other customers" based on how ad blocking works. Ad block is at an individual level, there is no redistribution.

That we know of. Seriously, it's not like every contract they have is public information (nor am I saying it should).

Indeed. In fact I liked it so much that I wrote a program very similar that can read/write such files on Windows[1]. I couldn't find how to compile the original on Windows. The file format is pretty simple. At least for the sprea

I wouldn't call it an illusion. Perception of motion maybe? More like humans agreed that X oscillations of element Y counts as 1 second. We all agree on the length of 1 second on earth and go from there. We use that time unit as a refe

I thought it's been known for a while that "time" isn't exactly a property of the Universe the same way as 3 dimensions are, but more something we use to help ourselves understand and explain the actions around us. That

That was my thought as well (regarding 1). That they treat this almost like a code dump of their latest version, take it and use it, or don't.

I don't see an issue with this (am I supposed to? Do we demand everyone use git or similar now?). They can give you the source however they want. On another topic, did anyone see the license section? --- If you distribute a product (wh

Stupid question time. Is there anything in all this that can make my machine behind the router get the same address all the time? Do I manually assign it locally as with IPv4 and hope no one else in the building assigns the same IP? Is ther

In summary, They have got close a few times (reaching the finals five times in 19 years, losing in game 7 four times, ouch). The teams are not distributed to have a more consistent fans-per-team ratio everywhere (Canada has lower population

Maybe you commented after the title changed? Original title was "How secure is your email? here's email-in-a-box" (at least that's what I remember it was). My comment was basically "email is not secure." I thin

by howeyc 11y ago
My email is not secure, for a number of reasons. Here are a couple. 1) I have yet to find anyone willing to accept email from me that has been encrypted before I send it and must be decrypted by them (GPG for example). 2) It is stored in pl

So... basically a bunch of talking points, and no real in depth analysis of what exactly is going on. How is that different from what we are getting now? This is what 24 hour news cycle and constant new published articles has lead to. News

That comment was there because my point was not about generics, but about programming language features (that are must have, the must have list of course being different for everyone) in general.

I think this is part of it, some of the hate comes from people that "know better" (possibly true for some, obviously the Go authors aren't omnipotent) than the Go language designers and are baffled that the language design id

Floating currency only matters when you buy stuff from someone else who deals in a different currency. Although you sort of right in that "globalization" could be a cause. That is, "why hire more workers at high salary when I

You've hinted on a few things in your comment that are taken care of with your 5-8% surcharge that bitcoin certainly does not. 1) Chargebacks, there is a way to dispute a charge after-the-fact, without the merchant's approval. 2)
