I can't disagree more. The language of _your_ internet is English. Personally it always bothers me to think of how the largest parts of the internet are essentially walled off by language. China has essentially its own version of every

I'm pretty certain RMS would advocate for both the hardware and the software being open.

It seems like they store files (presumably both internal and public) under https://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/ so I guess it's the way they represent their non-indexable urls.

People who get conned will generally refuse to believe they've been scammed, even when presented with evidence.

It says that all the benchmarks are single-threaded and even mentions at the end that you could push performance further with multicore machines. It doesn't matter anyway, with one thread per core it would be pretty straightforward to

He's shady as fuck, the guy is practically foaming at the mouth when he suggests he should be nominated for a Nobel or Turing award.

Yeah, same thing for the Eurostar, it's a much saner security and check-in process. As much as I love flying, I always take the train from London to Paris or between Madrid and Barcelona.

You're getting downvoted because this is not a code editor, it's a frontend for several debugger backends that would mostly be used when you don't have access to source code.

Mostly Microsoft or Windows device driver developers, but also people who want to reverse engineer device drivers. There's many DRM / anti-hacking tools that rely on windows drivers to hook Windows kernel APIs at the lowest level

Yeah my mom also thinks that Spain was better off under a dictatorship, but that's just because she's a raging conservative and it never negatively affected her directly. Anecdotes are anecdotes both ways, you saying zero of those

I worked on a little piece on recaptcha a while ago[0]. I'm glad to see research around how this captcha method is actually as breakable as any, but the real problem continues to be that there is no separation between the data Google c

I think talking about the issues is a good thing. Tech is scary for women. I've seen all kinds of casual sexism on the workplace that, while generally not intended as hurtful, men simply don't have to go through. As a man, I&#x2

Chinese people go crazy for iPhones, when the 6 was released my friend had a trip scheduled to go back home to Shanghai for a few weeks, EVERY ONE of his friends asked him to bring them one (or more) unlocked iPhones, and they were happy to

If you have to write a blog post about how the sexism "crusaders" have it in for you, chances are you are the asshole. I'm not offended by the name, I get the joke, I just think it's a stupid joke.

I don't see why it would matter, just because you release something under a free license doesn't mean you should accept contributions. Otherwise all our software would be capable of reading email.

What are you talking about? It's MIT licensed and their contribution policy says they do accept features if you sign their CLA (which is exactly the same thing Google and any other big companies do) What closed Microsoft-controlled sys

It's a fucking nightmare, is what it is. I wanted to use a javascript tool that would make my life easier, and when I looked at the npm dependency tree it had 200+ dependencies in total. If I used that javascript tool, I'd be trus

The FSF acknowledge that "open source" is a bad term as it's easy to misunderstand for "code for which the source is available to the public". I completely agree that source under NDA is a different scenario.

by mpeg 11y ago
You just described free software, not open source. I'm not even a huge defender of free/libre licensing and all that, but in plain English the semantics are just different.

It's definitely not a normal salary for a developer regardless of experience, even as a mid range manager (say managing a team of 20+) it'd probably be on the higher end. Most likely a contractor, or adding on other considerations

You don't see anything wrong with sharing your full address on the internet? Without even getting out of white collar crime, knowing your name, profession, salary and address makes it easier to steal your identity.

I've pointed out some huge issues with the anonimity of this site in another comment. But apart from that, if a site has no privacy policy, you should have no expectation of privacy or anonimity. If they added an advertising tracking t

Okay, before you all start adding your data there, consider the fact that it's all made public. In the UK, post codes are usually very specific (sometimes to a single building) and I'm seeing someone from Colindale that has put in

I don't think the FBI can or will hand over the phone, that would compromise their entire investigation. Besides, once the software exists and is signed by Apple, it's very hard to prove that all copies have been deleted.

With oneworld airlines (BA and AA, amongst many others) mileage doesn't affect status, it works on a different point system (tier points) that doesn't depend in cost, but largely can be gamed by breaking up a direct flight into a
