I was doing security on a VM image. I wasn't doing anything at scale, and wasn't doing the initial deployment. Log recovery/analysis wasn't the job, it was a necessary component thereof. Docker makes no sense when I&#

Any plug-in support? Could I upload my vimrc to a server, then download it, apply it, and run :PlugInstall to get my vim setup in any web browser?

Methionene, tryptophan, lycine, and isoleucine are four essential amino acids present only in low concentrations in most veggie/nut/legume proteins. That's why these proteins are called incomplete. We need them to build and

Indeed, we do need some meat. With that said, Americans would be wise to eat more organ meat: often very healthy, and contains micronutrients we can't get elsewhere. Some of these include things we simply can't synthesize oursel

Exactly. I was doing a competition that required me to run windows with a linux vm on top of it. This means I couldn't easily do it. Ended up having to use WSL, which is much more hassle than I ought to have to go through. I agree a

> Hire a lobbyist yourself, or donate to a PAC or advocacy org that is dedicated to privacy issues. Too broke. Also, not a lot of advocacy organizations focus solely on privacy issues; most feel the need to mix in others.

I don't buy any "transparency". Any time I hear that word, I jump to the idea that it is being used to mask something by releasing most things. I don't really care how it's used, processed, stored, etc.; I care

I didn't praise them for that. It's more that I don't like the systemd way of making everything systemd. The difference is that the stuff openbsd develops is largely standalone applications, whereas systemd wants to take

The genie is out of the bottle; wait ten years and DNA will be mandatory to include in passports, drivers licenses, etc. Same thing with facial recognition. I still hate fingerprinting. None of these biometrics are perfect, and my core obj

People are probably less upset because it doesn't take the "systemd all the things" approach of getting rid of huge chunks of old stuff for what is ostensibly an init system. I don't have much of an issue with systemd (

You can still do this, just through the command mentioned above. SUID binaries are a serious risk; good on the openbsd folks for trying to remove one.

> The process of acquiring a massive fortune does make some poorer (definitely in the relative sense) This is my issue with the whole "wealth inequality" concept. It's just that: you have more money than I do. So what?

by mises 7y ago
I believe we live in a meritocracy, but don't think we should do that. I see no moral reason to do this. Inheriting money doesn't make any one else poorer. If I'm wrong, why? All this aside, I think it's great that thi

Both are similar in premise: the proletariat is distracted and kept down by something. Think of the sort of content that is produced in 1984; in Brave New World it is simply drugs instead. It makes you wonder about the spread of video gam

You're right, I appreciate the correction. For any one curious, here's more detail on the resistance that has been developed: http://www.virology.ws/2015/06/12/resistance-to-prion-diseas...

Yeah, this is pretty terrifying. I remember reading that prions might also be communicable via optical equipment. There's no cure for prions, and they all kill you in nasty, interesting ways. Most involve driving you slowly insane an

Classes being Java's only translation units are one of the downsides that I'm mentioning. Really my objection is more that it doesn't allow use of the right tool for the job (which is not always an object).

This is exactly it. The question is not "which will take over the world". Both can contribute useful features in various situations, and this is why I like languages that let me use what is best in each situation.

You could also make a class of global functions and use that, but I think the point still stands: it forces square pegs into round holes, so to speak.

I can't speak to python as much, as I haven't really used it, but I've heard a lot of good things about it (recently read a comment saying it was simply good at nothing but good enough at everything).

Maybe because no body had commented as such until now? I am rather practical about this: I don't really like Java because it forces things that make more sense as functions to be under an object. What if I just want a simple global u

There are other reasons I like it: huge library support, ability to do low-level stuff for performance but use higher-level features for an easier time, etc. Mostly, I've yet to see something better that has the maturity, libraries, de

I think this may be another one of those swearing-in-church type opinions, but I think C++ is excellent as a compromise here. It's got its faults, but C++ allows use of objects when necessary or helpful without the ridiculously pedant
