It’s a tradeoff between comfort and security since the fact that you control a domain now doesn’t guarantee you’ll be controlling it in 5 minutes, not to mention 3 months. This is why Let’s Encrypt gives you tools to automate the renewal p

Probably not a good idea with something as security sensitive as a browser. Electron lags behind Chrome versions, and requires deliberate effort to secure [0]. Also, on GitHub, Vieb has just one main developer so you'd be trusting him

I love Signal and have advocated for its use. But I have to say that this issue is trust-breaking. I lovingly forgive the occasional bug or unpolished feature and I understand that the team behind Signal are human and that programming is ha

Can you explain your position? Should Colt be blamed if a foreign government uses an M-16 to shoot a journalist?

Would you have said the same about HackingTeam [0] and the Italian Government? They were featured on citizen lab a LOT a few of years ago [1]. These guys still operate under the name "Memento Labs". There's obviously money to

It's possible that some of the issues I ran into were due to Manjaro not being Ubuntu, but they could also have been due to drivers or some random setting somewhere in the system. Plenty of people on protondb reported zero issues with

"just work out of the box" is an overstatement. I ran Manjaro for about half a year recently, including using it for gaming. Very few games actually worked out of the box for me, including games with so called "native" L

How is this not investigated as an antitrust violation? North America has some of the highest telecom prices in the world with some of the slowest speeds and worst service. There's clearly something very wrong with the market.

Very interesting post. It feels very applicable to the functional vs imperative programming debate, and I say that as someone who's mostly on the imperative side. The top row of the "perimeter" is very "functional".

Short of a full scale invasion of Europe I find it hard to imagine a Russian act that would cause European leaders to start a war. So the question of what would count as casus beli is moot. Russia has over 1M active military personnel, with

I think that's exactly what some of the old fabs are doing. When a new process node comes out not all fabs are immediately upgraded. Fabs with older tech simply start producing simpler chips while the new ones pump out cutting edge one

What you may be missing is that the stack is a lot faster than the heap. First, stack allocations and de-allocations are extremely cheap. Allocating a known amount of stack memory requires nothing more than moving a pointer. The same goes f
