Go fossil hunting some time. It's a rewarding experience to ask "what's in that rock?" to discover it's invertebrates from millions of years ago!

Under the anticircumvention clause of the DMCA, if I xor every 7th byte of 8 byte blocks with the value in the 8th, and you figure that out, and then wrote a program that (un)did the xor, you'd be in violation of the DMCA. Doesn't

Gabe Newell was absolutely right when he made it clear that piracy was a demand being unmet. I suspect part of the Steam Summer Sales being as deep as they are is to give a chance for people who can't afford AAA games normally to have

Oddly, I do just that. One of the youtubers that I pay money to was a VP of information security at a major company doing live shows. He produces good content so I'm willing to to fund that.

A bit of perspective that I'll give in on. Cameras on phones and cameras on laptops/PCs are radically different devices. You can't just take a phone camera and slap it onto a PC. The other side of this is that cameras on PCs

In my area, there is a fantastic set of used computer shops. Much of my hardware either comes from or goes to them. Much of my used tech also goes to friends at a discount price. I can't take the credit for this one, but a friend of mi

These sorts of screener questions are at the level of "can you write a simple function and can you answer basic questions about it" A surprising number of candidates I've seen interviewed cannot do the following, my code scre

You're welcome. If you'd like some games that you might enjoy playing with your daughter watching (or sometimes engaging in as appropriate), I left another list: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31625560

I say it like the average 18 year old is not expected to be fully aware of the depth of the consequences of their actions in every situation. To this day, people @everyone in 10,000 person discord servers because they forget the scale of wh

Being bright doesn't make you infallible. I was contributing to lots of things at 18, including digging into kernel debugging in ubuntu. That did not stop me from making occasionally poor choices with consequences much larger than I re

The person who submitted it Is, according to their github page, a nary 18 years old. One cannot say in good faith that they were a beacon of perfect judgement at 18. Anyone who says so is either looking to buy or sell a bridge in New York.

I wrote [1] targeting some younger audiences, but here's some more "mature" (teens and up, I'd wager) ones for you, OP: Tacoma: I saw this mentioned but it's absolutely worth a shot. The gameplay is distinctly well

No. The GPL doesn't have a (meaningful) mandate that the user be able to replace the software that is under the GPL. Only that the source be made available. This was fine in the 70s/80s when mainframes were the ruling class. Rough

Have you seen high schools in the US? Once I discovered that every school-issued machine had a VNC server running on it I assumed that the contents of my screen were being recorded at every moment. Turns out I was half right, as I caught up

Absolutely what it needs from a business perspective. YouTube isn't a video platform anymore, it's an ad engine cleverly disguised as a video platform. Their revenue is not from YT Premium or TV. It's the ads and the data you

Once upon a time, the manpages were a printed object. This, coupled with some of Bell and later BSD's quirks about naming things, led to some historic naming conventions. See also: this entire damn conversation on naming directories. O
