At least the Keybase code is open, so even if you can't personally validate that it's secure, someone else can. Neither Dropbox nor Google encrypts and keeps the keys client side, so not trusting them is probably the right thing t

I've had good luck communicating with them on the public team keybasefriends. They have various channels for different features, but asking on #general is usually a good way to get help, either from someone from Keybase or someone else

But you need to edit the Gradle configuration files. Most people simply cargo-cult that, and while that works most of the time, it's incredibly non-intuitive to solve problems.

I have used IntelliJ IDEA since the early 2000's and used it for Android development since Android first came out. It used to be an amazing experience, and when the news came out that Google was going to switch to IDEA for their offici

I think this is a good a time as any to mention the famous quote by Mark Twain: "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead". People don't spend enough time thinking about what they want to

The irony is that I saw this headline using an RSS reader. That's how I read the Hacker News stories.

The Wikipedia page on Watson discusses attempts at finding the source for this quote, but explains that there seems to be no consensus on this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Watson It does quote Howard Aiken

"the first three would be multi billion dollar companies outside of Google" I think this is the problem. Google does not care about products smaller than that. They will happily shut down a product because it's

There is an error in the squares formula as well. The correct formula is: (n*(n+1)*(2*n+1))/6.

I am Swedish and I always thought that that lyric actually didn't make any sense, and that was intentional. So much many music lyrics is just a sequence of unrelated words strung together in a way that sounds good, and this sounded jus

Arguably, Twitter doesn't have much "regular users" either. Most people have never logged in to Twitter, and have no idea how it works. Ask around among the normal people you know if they've ever posted there. A somewhat

The GDPR is about personal information. That is your name, address, email, IP address that you used to connect with, etc. So yes, they can keep your character, but they have to delete anything that can link that character to you.

That would be sad, as there is already far too much software out there that hard-codes escape sequences, completely ignoring the TERM environment variable. Even worse, sometimes they won't even disable escape codes when they should not

No, you can't. You have to learn each character individually. That said, when I studied Chinese, I found it easier to learn the words and how to write them compared to other languages I had learnt before. Perhaps it's just me, but

For every market event you are always going to find someone who predicted it. People predict everything at every point in time. Getting one prediction right doesn't prove anything. Getting a lot of them right also doesn't prove an

That's a fair argument, but couldn't they at least have sent an email about it?

You're right. We started our project in the late 90's but it was only later we moved it to Sourceforge.

Many years ago me and a friend wrote an open source game and we hosted the project on Sourceforge. This was some time in the late 90's. The project got dropped as so many others do because both of us found more interesting things to do

The one that was the go-to manual back in the days was the Atari Compendium. I still have the book on my shelf. I have seen digital versions (scans, I guess) floating around online. I don't know how complete they are. There is still a

I see. I haven't tried the Thinkpads since before they were sold to Lenovo, so perhaps they are superior. I am in the market for a new laptop, so perhaps I should give them a chance. Not really for the pointers, but they do seem to be

Logical? Sure, most languages do separate words for this reason. But languages are never completely logical. There are planty of writing systems where there are no breaks between words. Some of the ones I can think of includes Thai, Korean

If I recall correctly SCO did. At least they pointed out how much more stable they were than Linux. And SCO was much more vulnerable to Linux than Sun was. Linux could even run SCO binaries unmodified. And we know what happened to them late

That depends heavily on the language used. In Lisp you can have code blocks that are clearly independent units hanging 50 characters off to the right. A limit of 80 would limit the lines in the code block to 30 characters, which is not enou
