I always found this issue to be confusing. There are literally hundreds of cameras tracking me every day: in the parking lot, in front of the ATM, when I buy my groceries… I have no ability to know when I’m being recorded or what happens to

Remember. Liu Cixin said the following about Chinese internment camps for Uighur: “Would you rather that they be hacking away at bodies at train stations and schools in terrorist attacks? If anything, the government is helping their economy

I know this is cynical of me, but it’s 2021, and I’ve read enough apology emails from companies saying “whoops we didn’t mean to exfil your data, so sorry!” to know that this checkbox only means “don’t exfil my data right now.”

There’s probably a practical argument to be made against the theoretical possibility of building such a system: I think that just the halting problem is proof that we cannot implement a system that does this. But I think there are two arg

Historically, even just a few decades ago, if you had reach of sixteen thousand (!!) people, you were incredibly publicly exposed. To think that we now file it as “not that much” is something I can’t wrap my mind around.

I think the old “Mossad is gonna Mossad” thing is still true. Good security practices are mandatory, and will keep you safe 99% of the time. But when you have what appear to be state level actors using 0 day exploits... you will not stop th

I think the reverse of the question is also important: why would anyone want to fly on a plane made by such a colossal company that any blame for flaws (design/technical or decision process) is diluted to the point that hundreds of dea

The title of the article makes it seem like having someone fall in love with you is a desirable outcome. > your reviewer will literally fall in love with you No, author, no they will not. They might appreciate my professionalism and focu

I think the 40% ortho keyboard model doesn't really accurately represent what that class of keyboards look like.

When I was working in Oracle, there was a running gag that there were more full time attorneys employed by the company, than there were engineers. Maybe that is what you need to run a business like that?

I think this is an age old question that's been discussed thoroughly. If somebody offers you a lot of money to do something immoral, and you chose to accept it that makes YOU immoral. It also should cast a shadow on the person offering

No, I do not consider that to be strong arming. I consider that to be baiting. As my post says: it's unclear to me which tactic was used with which developers, or how those contracts influenced the promises developers made to preorder

It's important to remember that Epic games isn't a champion of freedom here. After Epic store launched on the PC in 2018, Epic used their platform's growing popularity to bait and/or strong arm (it's unclear to me)

Actually it's not that. It's not "withdraws visas for online only universities." It's actually no visa even if you are on-site and taking in person classes but take more than 1 class (3 credits) from online classes.

I suspect that it is this partial download that they are talking about. That said, I can't tell whether or not I've used it recently. I know I don't use it when I play with personal projects, but I don't know what other

That's actually covered in the deeper linked docs on Gemini. Setting it up on a separate protocol / markup allows you to make hard reasoning about what kind of privacy, features and protection you get as a user, rather than relyin

Entr requires one watch per file. One tool that I haven't seen mentioned here yet is fswatch, which uses directory based patterns and works more akin to a find: it outputs changed file names to stdout. Interesting thing to look at and

I worked for several large companies where the on-machine (not containerized) development was very clean. That hygiene required a large team of dev tools engineering to support it. For the smaller companies, dockerizing individual projects

When I navigate to that page on my iOS device, all I see is a green upper bar with a hamburger menu. Clicking on the menu offers "log in" and "add toucan" I clicked back.

You may have spent $0, as in that's the amount that left your pocket. However, you invested your time, your skills and expertise. While it's cool that you are making headway, a better question is: does this financially make sense
