Over the last few years there was a lot of hay being made about how drone swarms have obsoleted $military_technology_du_jour and how there's no real way to defend against "drone zerg", etc. The USAF is probably publicizing th

I did the same. Frankly Firefox is still a serviceable browser. It's not nearly as bad as HN hand-wringing would leave one to believe.

Personally I'm hoping for an HP48G or HP50G clone. I still use my 50g and it's great.

First and foremost in my browser evaluation criteria is "can I run ublock origin or similar on it?" Last time I tried, Safari was a no-go. The web without an ad blocker is incredibly bad.

Any resources for learning Fortran in 202X that don't bother going over the old cruft? Last time I looked (admittedly, years ago), most resources seemed to be in the vein of "here's Fortran 1990, and once you've learned

The way you're using "decimal floating point" seems to imply there is a "floating point" that is not "decimal". My understanding is that "decimal", in the context of programming, is a less-precis

Back in the before times it wasn't uncommon for people to release malware without any explicit monetary benefit. Sometimes they just did it as a "fuck you" to Microsoft, who at the time had a very very poor reputation for a

It's a neat idea to be sure but I fail to see how this will have any material impact. Firstly, OpenBSD is a niche OS, meaning the absolute magnitude of OpenBSD cron jobs out "in the wild" is relatively low. Second, my underst

As an early-adopter of Discord, I think what users expect(ed?) is basically a modernized version of IRC+Teamspeak. The rest of the social media shlock was never part of their value add, at least from the POV of the circles I'm in.

Of course that's their job. The police force is not designed to be a vehicle for social change nor for justice. The way the system is supposed to work is that engaged citizenry actively overhaul unjust laws and apparatuses, and the po

It's actually a Goldman-Sachs account in Apple packaging. The federal funds rate is in the 4.75-5% range, which means Goldman, in theory, can take the money you deposit and re-lend it at 4.8% or so, pay you your interest, and still ma
