Nothing, but you can check if it does that in its source code. Did you, or did you simply assume that it does?

"Trust in closed non-auditable complex computer systems is something everyone has learned the hard way we should not have. The news is full each day of zero day bugs and exploits throughout the stack–from applications to operating syst

You made a slight logical leap there - how do you know the extension will even send any of your data to DDG for them to do something with?

Thanks, I was not aware of this document. However, its wikipedia page mentions that it was not widely believed at the time. Heck, even Auschwitz Protocols after it did not seem to have much success in reaching the audience (western world) f

There were rumours of the atrocities, but probably the first public testimonies were the Auschwitz Protocols, based on first-hand experiences of a few concentration camp escapees. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwit

Huh, so it turns out that I've been a 'data scientist' for over 20 years. Who knew?

I'm sorry, I'm not from USA, so these US-centric tribal designations do not mean anything to me. I'm in my late 30s, if it helps.

Yep, me neither. The best I can tell is that it's a new children's term. If a kid says "that's cringe", it means "I don't like that".

Depends on the TODO statements themselves. "TODO: document this section better" is a huge difference from "TODO: add error handling to this section"

This article touches on this very point. I think I even found it here on HN, a few months ago. https://petapixel.com/2019/07/22/photographers-instagrammers...

Yep, I've had that happen with a private outlook.com account last month. I literally just created the account and used it just once, to register for an Azure certification exam. I sent no e-mails from that account, I just checked it tw

Anything you do online can be used to track you. The point is that by doing this , you plug an additional information leak about yourself.

That makes sense, I guess, in a rather warped and bizarre way. The point still stands - journald is unreliable, and after getting burnt like this it will be years before I start trusting it again.

Sometimes between August and September, and it was on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 12. The lines would go missing mostly if the logs were collected two or three days later instead of immediately after the job finished (it was a job running

Wait, you do not block HTTP referers by default? In this day and age where vast majority of websites are out to scoop any and all available information about you?

My main complaint is that journald is unreliable and is losing log entries (or lines, if you will). I had an automation recipe that would start a bunch of cloud instances, configure them and start certain job via a systemd service unit, and

That doesn't work when you outsource to Infosys or Cognizant - the people you just spent two weeks coaching and training will be gone next week, replaced by brand new blank-slated, interchangeable cogs. These large Indian outsourcing c

Unfortunately, developers rarely learn to look around corners until they have been burned a few times by not doing so (and often burned everything around them in the process).

Majority of the general public does definitely not love, nor hate Google. They are merely indifferent and tolerate it, just like they tolerate Microsoft, or more recently Facebook, despite all the flaws and annoyances their products have. T

Even bigger what? I was talking about what would physically kill most of us off, whereas what you mention would make the humanity merely stagnate. While not ideal, stagnation at least brings stability of sorts.

Screw depression, overpopulation due to nobody dying, yet birth rates not declining is what would have killed us long before that, through all the wars and famines.

He's right about the modern "culture" for the most part, though, and I do not see his post as very flamebaity. The post is, however, completely off-topic for this thread, and for that he deserves all the downvotes.

One could argue that Diaspora did not really fail, so it has no place on this list. The network is chugging along nicely, albeit outside of any limelight. Hundreds, if not thousands of people communicate there daily. There are no real drama

Difference depends very much on actual workload. For example, I have a small server with mostly CPU-bound programs running, where the mitigations do not noticeably slow down anything, but a simple "xz -l large_iso_file" takes 20 m
