This is ridiculous. The author makes it sound like perl6 is more of a success than python3 -- despite python3 being used for real projects for years now, and perl6 being "slow and about to have its first release" (just like it was

Did you know that Russians had github blocked for several days? Anyway, you're talking about counter-censorship warfare. Yes, some of those measures will be somewhat effective sometimes, but the costs (not necessarily even monetary) ar

I envy you, citizens of the free world :) You (mostly) can use HTTPS, avoid government surveillance, and use new shiny Mozilla features (for whatever they are going to be). It's not the same in e.g. Russia (and I'm sure it's

It's called secure shell for a reason. You know your ProxyCommand isn't tampered with because your ssh client has successfully matched the remote system key against your known_hosts file.

For them, using a DDoS mitigation service might be harder than it seems. Their project, "Collateral Freedom", depends on having a set of web frontends with some special properties. Namely, 1) the provider of the said frontends mus

That's not not how 'let' works, you can't do that with 'let'. You most definitely should blame the tools here.

Of course you can -- for example, if you are NSA and in position to apply pressure to whoever hosts lastpass SSL frontends.

I don't know why you are being downvoted. My understanding is that yes, that's more or less how it works. Speaking from experience, whatever it is you are obsessing about, a ketamine trip makes you forget about it for about an hou

Don't know why you were downvoted, it's a valid concern. It won't be "phoning home", though -- you only can phone the so called "global adversary" this way (because you can't send packets to arbitrary

1) The same as in a two-user chatroom? To hide the conversation content from everyone outside of the chatroom? 2) I heard people work on that, but I don't know any details. Might take a bunch of pairwise exchanges [tedious, but probabl

Yeah, DOB (and any other DOx, I suppose?) seems pretty bad. Very bad trips are apparently both much more probable and much more unpleasant on DOB than on acid. I don't think I know anyone who tried DOB and would recommend it.

It's pretty simple with LSD. You should buy it in blotter form. A piece of blotter can only contain so much of active material (fractions of a milligram). It's too small a dose for almost any psychoactive substances to have any effect on yo

You still have to show some ID in EU, I think (at least that's how it works in CZ and SK).

To each his own, I suppose. I've been deskless for 4 years, mostly on a couch in a relaxed position with laptop on my, hmm, laps. It's much more comfortable for me than chairs and desks. I sometimes spend 16 hours per day pressing those key

That's a popular misconception, IIRC. Actually, in thermonuclear weapon the bulk of energy comes from fission. [1] Fusion is technically only used to get the high energy neutrons to get the bulk of fissionable material to undergo fission. S

But I believe I can. These kids often choose between living in hopeless poverty and earning a reasonable living. It's pretty plain and simple. You don't have to be 21 to make a rational decision in a situation like this.

But it's obvious, isn't it? The workers choose to work there, for that income and under those conditions. This means that all alternative options available to them are worse (like working for even lower income and in worse conditions, or ev

Right, that's what GP said in the comment you replied to: that he probably should not use that VPS provider. And yes, password-reset emails may also be a concern (not as severe, though, if reset emails are single-use and have short TTL).

No, but it does mean that anyone who's able to view your traffic or your mail box content could've seen the password (anyone controlling any router or a mail relay between you and them, or your mail service provider, or even someone with tc

I was there on Sakharova st. yesterday, somewhere in the crowd on the photo. It's been 3 weeks since these things started to happen. I have to say it was almost as much of a surprise to the russian opposition as it was to Kremlin.

If your nodes are not bound on some local resource, you can as well just run them in virtualization containers on Xeon. The setup will be even more flexible than with (less powerful) ARMs.

The original Calxeda reference design from last year was a 2U rack-mounted chassis that crammed 120 processors (and hence server nodes) also: HP can cram three rows of these [4 CPU --jsn] ARM boards, with six per row, for a total of 72 s

Why, for embarrassingly parallel workloads (like the ones they mention) it's a totally reasonable assumption. And for something not so parallel the gazillion of ARM nodes is all but useless.
