Its far harder for western societies to contend with the fact that they are creating the terrorist threat by their own actions, than it is to just "blame religion" for the problem. But the truth of the matter is, we are creating t

I find it incredibly difficult to comprehend that any UK politician would use the phrase "protect people from pedophiles" with a straight face: This is a political class which has, for decades, protected its own pedophiles from pr

I was lucky enough to have grown up with computers, writing my first program in 1977, and then entertaining myself with the Arcades of the 80's as they released title after title .. while also having access to the internals of the cabi

Cool! This might make it a lot easier to get IPFS going on Mobile platforms .. there is already a shim for getting IPFS built and running alongside a native iOS app but it'll be much more interesting to do the whole thing in Golang

It shouldn't be such a surprise, unless one is ignorant of a stable, decades old, computing maxim: Old computers (and by definition, old computer software) never dies. The users do .

Terrorism now. Whats next, "unsavoury religious texts unapproved by the state"? This is a slippery slope, people. But we already know that the UK is well and truly, deeply, sequestered in the abyss.

The 'reason' for this distinction between breaking out the audio of the modem to a standard interface, versus not breaking it out - but rather requiring a secondary processor to submit proprietary packets - is simply this: cell eq

To me (Unix guy since 1980) the & character has always been "submit this command .. AND .. <the next thing I type>" .. so yeah, it seems like it actually did fulfil what you consider its 'original intention' -

Likewise, the fact you can't comprehend that people want off when they mean off, is equally disturbing!

The point is, when I want to turn Wifi off, and use the common UI to do so, it should be off - and not just "in a state where it won't associate with AP's" .. this is Apple treating their users like idiots and putting us

I think this is amazing - but what are the military implications? I mean, the military-industrial complex is not likely to stand by and watch this capability become so commonplace that it invalidates the purpose of having fast-attack force

Nonsense. Associating behaviour with sex, is sexism, pure and simple . The fact that he is a man has nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't have the same agency - nor the 'right' to complain about it - as his wife does

This is a highly charged, and - frankly sexist - article about how people have expectations that are unfulfilled because they simply don't communicate with each other . There isn't a single example of this "emotional labor&q

Following the world of individual developers for years, I would have to disagree with you. If they can cover the basic users, i.e. get it shipping at profit, there's definitely a way to make this product work. Just look at the GP2X,

Nice .. but alas, it doesn't support chaining subreddits, e.g. reddit.com/r/CabinPorn+LavaPorn .. that's kind of a neat feature in reddit itself, so I'd request this also be possible in redditgrid too ..

Perhaps the point is that I set up jack for my system first, and Pulseaudio lags behind in terms of, jack is my dependency. However, its moot - this is not consumer audio. Its more, "studio production audio"...

What, do you think, is key to on-boarding in crypto? I rate: 1. Basic, fundamental understanding. This is hard! 2. Representation - i.e. education of the user through the interface. 3. The Status-Quo'ers. #1: The words are not commonl

Honestly, I guess its because I chose my hardware wisely - i.e. I use only very well-supported hardware components (in my case, Presonus/BridgeCo.), where high-capacity, low-latency audio was sort of implemented on Linux first and th

Thanks for the heads-up, that is indeed useful and interesting to know .. hadn't heard much of it, but I suppose its because A) my Linux DAW is rock solid and I don't need to change it much, and B) I'm an iOS/AVFoundatio

For 15 years, I've had a totally stable, rock-solid, perfect Audio environment on Linux. My main DAW is Linux-based, and completely stable. Best latency of any platform, to boot. So, just as a counterpoint, I'm guessing you&#x27
