I didn't mean to critique anybody, but just pointed out why a specific solution is not okay for me. Take it as an assessment of the situation to understand what we have and were we want to go. I might be ignorant about GCM. My understa

You can't use Signal without GCM or its siblings on other platforms. I don't have Google's Apps on my phone, so there is no GCM. Using GCM voids your contact privacy. So Signal right now is a no-go. I do care about whether Go

I would love to see that implemented in Tox.

Due to cutting ties with Google and Facebook as much as possible I don't use Signal nor WhatsApp. What alternatives are there? I have been using Tox (qTox on Desktop and Antox on phone) and XMPP (Conversations on phone). I also tried R

I am also surprised a compiler includes this information into a binary. My expection is that the compiler creates an optimized machine code functionally equivalent to the source code, and nothing else.

Can you give more information on that?

I see tearing often and it bothers me a lot. Also, if you run a program with gui in X you will need to trust that program to act in your best interest since X doesn't protect against malicious clients. When I start a game on my compute

Are you sure you understand what they mean by saying they are a political provider?

I disagree with you. I consider email legacy technology because of its reliance upon DNS and static IP addresses. These two requirements make hosting email unnecessarily costly.

Practically all of mankinds knowledge is a result of freely mix and match creation and ideas of others, be it in the domain of language, arts, science or technology. Copyright has gone out of control. Luckily not yet the whole planet bows

I was not referring to using osm. On the contrary, I wanted to be able to provide a working one-to-one copy of the service available at osm.org including all files, databasis and services. The reason was to make myself more independent of w

I remember having asked once in the osm irc channel on how to setup a private mirror including web service of osm and nobody could answer, telling me that's the first request of that type. It's good to see that there are advances

I think your answer does not only sound bad. Climbing and diving are easily lethal if you don't command your equipment appropriately. Would you recommend someone interested in practicing them to not even try? Nonetheless, the point you

TOSLINK doesn't support uncompressed surround audio, while HDMI does, and I do use it.

I don't want to take sides in this discussion but share an anecdote. Hey, maybe even someone knows a solution for this. I have a PC connected via on-board HDMI to a Denon AVR solely for the purpose of getting the audio to the amplifier

In an email I got from HTC after ordering my Vive there were also multiple spelling errors. Then, after using their support website to tell them, there was a promt that asked me to wait while my support ticket is transmitted, and that promp

He is saying that they can't login when the caps-lock is on because they don't care enough. I think he is right. Even old people are able to do complex stuff, but only if they care.

The problem here goes deeper. The initial complaint about someone else mentioning observations has grown out of the attitude "it can not be what must no be". It’s dangerous when people deny reality in favour of ideology.

The thing that makes the claim regarding vegetarianism wrong but correct with regards to islam is that the foundational book of islam portraits a mass murderer as an idol. Furthermore it proclaims totalitarian authority in some political ma

What I ask for is to study the reasons and solutions to the problem of terrorism in a scientific manner, that is not fearing inconvenient answers. It's sad that one even has to ask for such an approach. In most cases it's undisput

This is a strong indicator that socialization has a strong influence in what makes people become terrorists. We see one of the memes that have a positive correlation with terrorism very clearly; it's islam. People have reflexive denial

I wonder, when will politics and media finally give in to ask the real questions. Behaviour is determined by what you start with into life and what you learn during your life, that is genes and socialization. Now, if you take a birds eye vi

I can’t help it. Reading this feels a bit like hidden political propaganda. It’s ridden with subtle and not so subtle negative references to gcc, the fsf and ideals. Probably it’s me reading too much into it but it makes it hard to enjoy.

I think your reasoning is flawed. Imagine Lee Sedol won the first three matches and AlphaGo the fourth. I think that news would have more upvotes than the former three matches. The outcome was a surprise and therefore gathered more attentio

When Apple says that they’ve never unlocked a device for the authorities one should keep in mind that the authorities have and use the power to force entities to respond this way.

I found the article insightful because it puts in words what I also felt sometimes. The tone of your comment reminds of it.
