To be honest I nuked Facebook at the height of farmville spam (I don't remember it being filterable at that time but could be wrong). Just couldn't care about Facebook anymore so deleted the account. So if its better now great, bu

I'd argue LibreSSL is already doing a better job because they are doing things that should have happened ages ago. Files from 1998 that were supposed to be removed when 1.0 was released? Should've been gone years ago. Code intersp

I hate Facebook for other reasons than Google. Farmville spam of yore comes to mind. Stupid permission changes constantly is another. I use iOS by the way. Still have a gmail account but that might not last long. Moving email is a bit harde

I have a hard time not thinking Routing Information Protocol, and Round Trip Time when I see those TLAs (Three Letter Acronym).

Yep, I grew up in ND, and my nearest non family neighbor was 7 miles away. This was pretty common. So if you parcel things up smaller than say 5 miles you'll miss people there pretty easily.

No gdb is bad for c++ debugging because it doesn't include parsing support for c++. At least I'm not aware of being able to type in c/c++ in gdb on the fly like you can with lldb contexts. So what exactly is "hip and coo

Its nothing big but basically amounts to adjusting how the source logic and defaults fits. The existing setup is a bit wonky and doesn't work in non bash very well. That and I have been hacking the init script to not always use sudo. I

I think he's referring to when they made sure that "plays for sure" drm license/authentication/whatever servers got shut down so all the music you bought became a bunch of bits in a bucket.

No share point does not store history. Get a file above a certain size, and that magically just stops working. Every time I've seen share point used, everyone described it the same way. Its where documents go to die. So far at the curr

Same here, but the issue i have is that most books tend to be technical so that vastly limits the throughput. Regular books are pretty easy to get through. Unless they're written by Peter Hamilton.

I just updated gitlab from 6.0 to 6.7 at work this weekend. That it does indeed. Which reminds me I have to submit patches to their init script. Rails is OK, but damn is it a bit of a time suck.

toy OS? Honestly, grow up. The default in OSX is best effort. Its easy enough to change to require looking at revocations or fail the connection. Anyone that cares about security is going to be looking at what their software does and ensure

Maybe its the best we can expect of a corporation. It is also a bit of a guess to be honest, maybe they aren't getting a good return on investment or who knows maybe they just don't feel like investing in them any longer.

Cool, i'm going to look at that gist for this years "try to learn haskell... again" attempt. :) I do it every year but hit io monads and my mind continually just has a core dump. Some year I hope to climb everest.

I thought Apple bought the v1 kinect company and the xbone's kinect is all ms internal? That said the new kinect voice is SOOOOO close to being good, the stupid thing fails more often than siri though so I tend to forget to use it ever

You know I'll say emacs is a great example of how its a great idea to make your "config" files a programming language. I'll also say it's a horrible idea to make your "config" files a programming language.

You're not alone, I have noticed as soon as you get out of most tech circles and look at mostly women only things, that is nurses/etc... they tend (tend is key here not always) to prefer iphones. Funny part is they seem to hate th

Yep, prefer the iphones smaller width to be honest. Not everyone has huge hands.

He said New York. I know here in Minnesota almost nobody goes outside without a hat. Then again weather that will cause frostbite under pants will somewhat ensure sane dressing practices. And I don't know anyone that walks barefoot in

Its a bit depressing being in a downtown area with absolutely nobody to chat too. Feels like being alone in a crowd sorta. >.<

To be sure I think the most similar language to rust would be probably c++. At least I get a distinct "created by c++ developers" whenever I use it. Not that that is a bad thing, just that if you've programmed in almost any i

Airplay on games is total shit. The amount of time it takes for the screen to get encoded, sent to the atv, then displayed on the tv, is really unnerving. Its like playing Counterstrike back in the 56k and >100ms ping days. Aka, not a tw

I'm resisting saying Write once, debug everywhere. This sounds cool, but the road to this hell has been littered with many failures. Dammit, there goes my resistance. Which apparently is futile. I'll show myself out. If this does

You hit the nail on the head with marriage definitions. A bigger problem, not admitted by the religious side of this debate, is that the legal definition of marriage is what grants many states rights. To some extent that some states would h

That explains it, but I thought NASA was originally spelled out as well. Take for example the world wide web and the early 2000's and people constantly trying to make www dub dub dub. I think the only thing stopping the BBC getting in

They seem to do that when its pronounced versus spelled I've noticed. aka: NASA = Nasa BBC = b b c I could be wrong though so whatever.

Might get them to repeal some useless laws and trim down the laws they want to pass so they don't impact so much. I don't think it would be that bad overall once they realize the quagmire their current methodology really means.
