Honestly, I'd rather have my resume turned into my LinkedIn. My reasoning is that when something comes to LinkedIn, it doesn't come out easily: it's proprietary and it's hostile. So it can't be where you trust to sa

You're just illustrating the point of the post you replied to: What do you need it to outlive you for? Plus, you can't compare something to the cheap one from Walmart, because the Walmart one sets an extremely low bar to pass in t

Thanks for the correction. What I really meant to say was index funds including ETFs. I totally messed up on that one.

You might be right. However be careful, the graph doesn't suggest that all the decrease in clothing spending is siphoned into tech spending - it might be a coincident. If they draw more lines, you might see a similar increase in, say,

It was a lame and absurd joke,... but what I meant is that the dominant one that people without any particular interest flock in. Now, it's Facebook. In the past, it was the taboo magazines in Walmart checkout lines and at gas stations

I think there is definitely a potential for such a competition. And people, such as diaspora and mastodon lately, have attempted so but failed. I have put some thoughts into it, and I think the reason diaspora failed is because they focused

Messenger-with-a-phone-number-account is just a Facebook account in disguise. They just don't show you the login credentials. Under circumstances, you can obtain the login token to log in the web interface and it would behave just like

To "escape" Facebook, in 2017, I tried to maintain a Messenger account with a phone number but without a Facebook account. By accident, I discovered that the Messenger-with-a-phone-number thingie that they have is just a Facebook

When Google forced the real name bullshit on Youtube and Places reviews, I knew I had it enough. I just wanted to leave a stupid, lighthearted comment on a video talking about a socially taboo topic, and I can't. I just wanted to leave

I've been thinking about how much I hate Facebook as a product. I think the idea might not be wrong and centralization of trust might not be a horrible idea. Implementation is important. There just needs a GNU or Wikipedia of Facebook

Thinking back, Facebook was really a face book...

I had the same experience. I couldn't get them to change my country, I provided ID, but somehow they thought it was not real. It was over 1 year and I would have bought bitcoins from them if they didn't make this too much of a pai

That's an awesome explanation - thanks! I just copied and pasted from other people's code and prettified it a bit so it's easier to use, but I didn't really understand why it worked. Now I do a bit better.

Good observation :) it's the raspbian arm build -- you are chroot-ing into the exact SD card that you put into the Pi. I don't know how exactly this sorcery works either. But I think chroot just "knows" that it needs to

From what I see from the script, the version of the raspbian distro shouldn't matter that much. The kernel should be compatible.

On Linux, it's even easier (lol, who would have guessed?). I recently had the need to compile quite a bit of software to run on the Pi zero, and the ability to be able to "chroot" to the Pi on my PC has made the experience so

Writing for a close friend. When he was 15 (about 15 years ago), he had the chance to do a lot of damage. He roamed in sites that store credit card information in an Access database (they didn't have PCI back then). He roamed in server

Yes, I was thinking the same thing! Only difference is that you name it KodaKKoin to grab the ticker symbol KKK. It will become the latest and hottest meme on the block.

The explanation is at end of page 4 and begin of page 5 on the meltdown paper. In a nutshell, the speculative feature allows the read to happen, it "doesn't segfault," and only signals the OS of the segfault or whatever until

Sony was so legendary in terms of their CRT. There is a saying in Vietnam that goes "Sharp/Fine like a Sony," when someone talks about an act, a product, or a person so fine. That's in the context of a culture that does

While that might sound logical at the first glance, the abstract stated that "The decline was not linked to longer working hours or increased pornography use." https://sci-hub.tw/10.1007/s10508-017-0953-1

Netflix to movies on demand is like iPad to tablets and Xerox to photocopy machines. Technically it is not correct, but people call stuff by the first success to market.
