The last 40 odd years have proven that it does work but what you write isn’t portable.

No C toolchain is portable! If that's a problem, use Go or another higher level language.

Same trouble. The problem with Linux on the desktop is that all polish, quality and consistency is "soon" and has been for 20 years. No one wants to do the last 20% of the job when you can rewrite the interesting bits again for th

This is wrong. It belongs in the linker and you can pull the symbol it creates in with extern. I’ve been doing this for about 25 years.

Or, you know, in real life. Which was more my point. I've done more networking face to face over the last couple of years than I ever got done using the Internet.

Meetup.com is still working out well for me. Also everyone knows everyone so you end up with a vast contacts network after a bit.

Worth pointing out that more life exists outside the corporate run stages. Part of their trick is to make you think that the only way of life is via their platforms. I’m not and never have been a Twitter or or TikTok or Facebook member.

Yep. I find it’s absolutely horrible since they went bananas post gnome 2. All the discoverability and consistency is gone. Honestly this is the biggest barrier to adoption of you ask me. I can’t hand a windows user or a Mac user a gnome de

I run my PayPal account from a dedicated bank account. If they try and take more than authorised then they will fail because the funds are not present. They can take me to court if there’s an issue. I have been burned before. Unless it’s a

I don't think it's a defence either. It's just how it is. The council never reinvests in infra that is destroyed. They don't work like you think they do.

That's a rapidly declining issue now the met have started ramming them off the bikes. They know they're not getting away so there is risk.

I think you're overblowing it a little bit there. As someone from London in the UK it's more nuanced. Firstly the stabbings are fairly infrequent and mostly isolated to territorial disputes between idiots and the odd psycho. You c

Indeed. You actually can't protect yourself from a rogue administrator. The rogue administrator or quorum is subject to a unitary instruction from above which can override that. Which is ultimately everything from management to the gov

I disagree with this. Very high profile "untouchable" pedophiles have been and probably are still operating right in front of the police and they have not done anything out of choice or mandate through whichever political or socie

You don't have to pay Apple to deploy to your own device. I don't have a developer subscription. You only have to pay the 99€ to access the store and provisioning.

They're not really any different to a Sun pizza box and we used them as servers back in the day :)

That's never going to happen and I'd rather Apple spent money on something else other than make it happen. The issue is you don't have a Mac and that's really your problem, not theirs.

Um, you just create a cert in XCode, pair your device to it, load the certs onto the device and run the app on it. You're not going to do it on a Linux box for sure as the tools aren't there but you certainly can run your own stuf

I think you are completely mad if thy think that corporate financial influence is far less. Where do you think the EU staff come from? What happens is you are promoted out of the corporate world and into EU council advisory positions (speci

The messaging interoperability is actually very worrying with the current discourse on scanning messages for certain content from the EU. Also various factions in the EU have been completely against end to end encryption. What we can expect

I think that's completely unrealistic. It's not going to happen even if they open the platform up.

While I agree with this, I'm interested in seeing what the long term security consequences are. These are all the highest risk API and integration surfaces on mobile devices. Also I hope Microsoft get pulled into this as well because t

BT was actually fucking with me badly. I have a Sony soundbar and someone was connecting to it periodically and playing music really loud at 2AM. I had the BT mode on it turned off and the discovery stuff turned off. But still getting conne

It's definitely a Lexus problem. The BT connection on my Citroen is absolutely 100% flawless. Works every time reliably. But it's literally just a dumb audio and telephony connection. Anything more complicated than that is guarant

Well that was an interesting read and entirely unsurprising. I would never consider building a new product on .Net. It’s an insane proposition at this point.
