Ok, tried it. Almost no settings, no tab previews, no addons, not even about:config. So far unusable for me. And unfortunatelly as seless as Foxus - it's effectivelly Focus v2, so I uninstalled it. I hope some provacy features and spee

How else do you want to detect humans in a widely-used centralized service like reCaptcha? This is the result of laziness of website developers. There could be thousands of custom captcha implementations but instead, most devs just put reca

No, it is just one of the arguments they are making off to support their monopolistic power. Just like that underclocking-on-old-battery trick. They are not making some special batteries, their chargers don't provide "magical 5V w

I don't think it is dangerous. If manufacturers were required to sell parts at price loser than the whole they would have to adapt. Worst case, they can disassemble whole products back to spare parts!

No need for keyboard nor mouse anymore. You can tap on the screen with multi-finger gestures instead and write code by using speech-to-text. (jk)

I like your enthusiasm but I am afraid you are overambitious. For me, it sounds a bit like GSuite alrernative hosted on Google Cloud. It doesn't make sense to me. What is the advantage of it being opensource when it is hosted by you. I

Maybe they should have their own physical server in a datacenter. In addition to more flexibility, it would also be cheaper. Cloud providers are trying to convince people it is easier by using them, but in the end, if your cloud grows a lot

And due to various licencing bullshit, there are still lota of movies not availabe on Netflix. Especially outside US.

because implementing package manager well is not a trivial work. I had no problems with vendor (godep), later I used Dep and now modules. There are still some problems with module handling for vscode (gopls) but that will be sorted out over

I agree. It is very easy to learn and inspect. Sometimes I just look at function definition and it is immediately clear. This is so far the easiest to read language I've seen. I don't think generics has to be a problem if their us

I personally also dislake C++'s standard library, lack of standard functionality in it and the difficulty of maintaining dependencies and the whole resulting build process with crosscompilers. GNU Make was not enough, CMake was not eno

You mean for example various versions of java which are incompatible?! Or java programs said to be mtiplatform loading .so libraries of fixed Ubuntu versions? Well, that's exactly what I hate.

It is actually a good thing. The more forks there are and more complicated ideas and toys, the more mess and chaos. It can eventually kill the whole ecosystem. I love open-source and libre software but there needs to be some central authori

A nice project, there are more homebrew CPUs - physical or FPGA cores. But they are often complex. I was finally able to understand the basics of CPU workings from an awesome book http://www.buthowdoitknow.com/ and related

Your page still won't display in built-in webview of Materialistic Android HN client. And it has trouble parsing HTML. Just like Medium and many other modern (=broken) websites full of javascripts and ads.

Even the nature of server-side PHP is bad. Running the script like an executable and using opcache on better case is no good. Also it is not uncommon to upload a php shell using some crappy upload.php forgotten script... Come on, it's

Because it depends on customer behavior. Intel has a strong name and people know their CPUs are fast. We see various IT security problems almost daily and most people don't care... It would probably require some massive exploits, data

Yes. Gamers like Intel because it's faster. Benchmarks are clear. :P

Your public clouds at AWS probably use them too... and they won't disable HT ;)

by neop1x 7y ago
Can I ask for money back? Intel should return 30% cost of all vulnerable CPUs then... because disabling HT is effectively reducing the claimed performance specs.

it's funny how web developers are finally discovering UNIX, bash and free software now and how MS is surprised. Cmdline has always been unusable, powershell is better but people need a proper pty and Bash.

Also if you own a physical store, always make sure to accept cash also. Don't rely to card providers which also collect huge amount of data and have their own terms. Centralization and reliance on single entities are not good...

There are things I would miss on iOS (e.g. widgets, dual sim, sdcard, headphone, more RAM) but for example Backup is is so much better on iOS! I fear that my android breaks at some point and I lose some data because there is no proper way t
