You're commenting even after someone has already provided a legitimate good use of this tech, and are the third person to write as if it were established that it's unethical to develop this tech. I never said that it's fine t

The possibility that nuclear deterrence has helped the world to be more peaceful in comparison to the past means that it's not such an easy answer. Hasn't even been a century since nuclear weapons were invented though, so no clear

You're opening another can of worms with that example. An adult, informed smoker that takes care to not cause second-hand smoking and that doesn't have any dependents, causes harm only to themselves. If they think that the reducti

The argument wasn't "Doing something bad is fine because others are", it's "You're trying to stop a bad thing happening by stopping some people upstream from doing something that's perfectly fine. That&#x2

Tech is such a malleable thing. Let's say that this repo doesn't exist, but repos exist for doing facial tracking on webcam feeds and pictures (for facial recognition), and others for modifying a 3d model according to a facial mod

Can we agree that it's fundamentally not a bad thing to develop a technology? If you were a legislator, how would you like to criminalize the development of technology? You know, the most difficult part of this tech is probably the fac

"must" is probably the wrong word, but if they don't develop it, someone else will. At most, it would be delayed, and I'm not sure there's much difference in that.

I mean, it's not going to dissolve like cotton-candy under water either. It's essentially like hair. I imagine you'd need to keep it in a place with ample microbial activity like in soil or swampish water for a few weeks to s

If you mean because gloves prevent you from doing a lot of stuff while you have them on, I've found fingerless wool gloves to be great at keeping my hands warm while letting me e.g. type on a keyboard, grab stuff from my pockets, from

To be fair, it says "in part" and I'm sure different users use different subsets of features. For example, I've never used export, but do a lot of refiling and archiving, which you didn't mention.

You can do backups on reliable filesystems, letting you use more experimental FSes as daily drivers without much risk.

Forgot Europeans have a valid reason to believe "deleting" an account actually deletes anything instead of just withdrawing your access.

Wonder if LTFS satisfies all needs for LTO tapes. It seems to be the only FS that storage medium currently has. There's also all sorts of FSes that aren't based on hardware, like eCryptFS/EncFS for encrypted directories, s3fs

There's not really any benefit to deleting the account other than forgetting they're untrustworthy and accidentally using them in the future. I would think it's better to change all passwords (at each service, not at lastpass

I can't spot any difference when disabling JavaScript. On the GitHub page, you can see that it's just a CSS file, though they do plan to add JS in the future. Maybe you have an extension interfering?

Pretty sure the Archlinux official repos had a package called "bsdgames" or similar that included a game like that. It's not there now. Maybe it got split up or sent to the AUR.

In the end, (ideally) it's the students that are losing out on education, though. That's unless there's a competition dynamic among students. Maybe embracing it is removing competition among students. EDIT: On second thought,

Yesterday, I bought some nuts and wondered if I needed a nutcracker. I kinda dislike specialist tools. I prefer versatile ones. I found that I could just hold it in my hand and hit the nut with the blunt side of a chef's knife, turning

Yeah, I didn't mean the specific drug. I imagine that habits generally work by needing some chemical to act as a reward to reinforce it, maybe different chemicals for different habits. The idea of forming a good habit to preempt a bad

This being the first time I read about this, I wonder if the same idea can be more generally applied to other bad habits.

It's not Informix-4GL, is it? If it is, the DB should be available via `dbaccess`. If you don't have that executable to verify, I imagine the binary files are probably of extensions `.4ge` and `.frm`. Then, the DB is likely a dire

I mean, if they can compile the latest version of sshd to run on SCO OSr5, that's great! If they can't because it's no longer compatible or whatever, are you saying they may as well stay with telnet? Obviously, not using lega

It's pretty trivial. Some things are disabled by default, but still available on the latest versions of clients. For the OpenSSH client, it will tell you what specifically the client and server failed to agree on, and you can just add
