I know it feels right to say that. But really, do you think the majority of people who switched from Firefox to Chrome did it because FF did not address their privacy concerns? Seems ridiculous. However bad FF is, Chrome is much worse. It s

So you have a mobile phone but you configured it so that you are unreachable when you are not at home? I'm all for privacy, but people being able to call me is hugely conveninent, and I really don't want to give it up. We need a b

There's always a root account, the only issue is who has access to it. So... phones where a corporation has root are more secure that phones where the owner has root, you say? Secure for whom? For the user? Seems obviously wrong. It&#x

That is fine. Government should still be reasonably efficient. Not as efficient as possible by any means possible, with the ethical problems megacorporations have. But reasonably efficient. So it's worth keeping an eye on things and ma

It might explain an apparently erratic behaviour. Continuously alternating priorities, indecision, that sort of thing. Multiple actions, some aligned with "still promoting Fuchsia", others with "we're abandoning it"

Don't you find it hilarious how people who work or worked at Google happen to think that things Google does are "mundane", even when other people think they're outrageous? Hilarious coincidence, really. Can't stop l

> Use Postgres for caching instead of Redis with UNLOGGED tables This is not the same thing, is it? Redis is in-memory, while the Postgres tables will be on disk, even UNLOGGED.

As always, "it depends". There are situations where you can use Postgres as a queue perfectly fine. But there is no way Postgres can do as well or better than RabbitMQ in all situations. Same for text search, and so on.

"Action would be too difficult / we don't like it" =/= "there is no action available". This is just refusing to take responsibility for their decision. "We don't feel like doing it" is the t

This kind of article or reddit post and discussion is how you know, at least for some people. Anyway, you asked who would care. Now the topic has moved to "what to do about it", which is hardly an issue. Of course people who think

That sounds pretty much right. Except, I'm pretty sure this reasoning would prevent people like Ghandi or MLK from ever existing, and that's actively harmful. Would you suggest the Ukrainians fight, or give up? 'Cause I expec

Seems like the author just doesn't understand what people mean when they talk about a manager being technical or not. I don't think anyone means "this person has no depth of knowledge about anything". We just mean "

Reading a row from a database and putting it on the screen, and reading some numbers from the keyboard and putting them in the database. These things I would not call computation. I mean sure, displaying needs to compute coordinates for whe

Read the blog post that this blog post talks about - the one that says "we use AI to spam people, isn't it great?". It will be something like that. As long as there is money to be made, the internal monologue is just "ho

Man, this is some weapons-grade hair-splitting. I tip my hat to you, sir. Still. People have gone to jail for copyright infringement, so I doubt at least they would feel like laughing at the idea that copyright exists.

Your assertion that Microsoft allows everyone to use Windows for free is false. What you care or not care about is irrelevant in this context. I have no clue why you brought it up. Now if you wish to assert that Microsoft allows peons to us

Conveniently ignoring that you may be sued into oblivion if you have enough money to make it worth it for them. Come on. Windows is only free for people not making significant amounts of money with it. If you do make money... surprise: htt
