That sounds reasonable, but here we are with Android's endless security disaster and all their apps written in not-Java from the beginning. The most cancerous aspects of Android are by design, that you cannot control network exfiltrati

No, chain-of-trust only has one trick... it can check that what you're about to run is unaltered from what was signed to some degree of probability. If that is the - shipped and validly signed - bugridden nightmare-fuel like the propre

I guess that's because they know that Chain-of-trust only gets you so far. Eventually you're running something big with bug after bug found every month and and an attack surface that includes the local filesystem and the network.

I was pretty amazed when I bought an MR200 lte-capable router that the LTE module actually runs its own personal Android discrete from the router cpu. https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-mr200#the_lte_modem Of

Librem seems to have the correct way forward, reject the big mess of Android and catch up to it with completely Open pieces. https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ They're making good progress and I can't wa

I've worked for over 30 years only remote on one thing or another... most of this guy's points are on the money. Unless it's enforced to share information properly, if some people are in an office and others are not, there ar

You actually claimed: >> The PRC exerts indirect control over Taiwan's economy by pressuring its trading partners, so the distinction is academic. That's not what happens. What does happen is China pressures international b

The distinction is far from academic. China itself is Taiwan's top trading partner https://www.trade.gov.tw/english/Pages/Detail.aspx?nodeID=94... Followed by the US. China does not need to "pressure it

It's nice you are interested in this topic. So why don't you look into it and make your opinion from the facts? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/12/18/chinas-in... https:/&#x2

Maybe he should do himself a favor and fix his broken :443, or disable it.

Who is making money off let's encrypt? The service is provided for free.

His https is still broken. Maybe he'll fix it if someone points it out to him.

... I said his https is broken. His https is broken. Does that really need downvoting into oblivion?

I use HTTPS Everywhere plugin for firefox... it's pretty surprising in 2019 how many network-related blogs and articles are on http links and the https equivalent is broken. You can use Let's Encrypt, it's free. It makes me

> Where did they get a shaft encoder with over a million counts per rev? The article says they put the encoder directly on the motor, before gearing it down. So the effective resolution after gearing is magnified. But the encoder moves

It sounds impressive, but "FPGA supercomputer"? It's a few optical shaft quadrature decoding state machines and feedback to motor controllers. Describing that as a 'supercomputer' suggests there's a lot of ma

One of the unusual and desirable things about this is your customers for the dev board will largely be very experienced... you acknowledge it in the letter you sent out. What surprised me is until it's fixed, there's no certainty

Maybe I missed it, but it doesn't seem to cover setting up a cross toolchain and rebuild everything from source.

I have one of these on the way. The main surprise for me is they're shipping it without the lcd panel working. They can control the backlight. But no video. Now I'm participating in the gamble that can be made to function without

It's maybe confusing because you are presupposing OOP as the default. Humans tend to observe some situation and sythesize stories to explain it, even when it comes to observing their own actions. I don't mean to unfairly paraphra

Right... and also, as you increase the model complexity rendering correctness and speed take a dive to the point the preview render is unusable.

Nope... https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-gu... That's the basis of eg Kernel enforcement, the most-distributed project out there by far.

"professional behavior" would make sense if both sides are getting paid. If only the user is getting paid, and he wants support or something else from the FOSS author, why should the FOSS author be held to this "professional

It helps me to remember in a public forum, whether my point is acknowledged by the OP or not, is only a small fraction of the number of people who may read and accept it. If the OP unreasonably denies or refutes it, in fact they may be sil

There are no punitive 'teeth' in GNU licences. If you don't like the terms, don't use the thing under that license. Stallman is his own man and can boycott what he likes and explain why to others. "Punitive" &

Yes that's basically what I found too. To practice OOP, its approach is every class should be a "library". Procedural code that doesn't have a class context is felt to be a shameful throwback to an earlier era degenerat

Yeah... you mentioned >>> maintainable, testable, extendable and configurable but not reusable. I'm not blaming you, or disagreeing... C++ didn't produce reusable results for me either. I dunno what you were doing 20 yea
