Is it bad if I'd say absolutely none? If any I read started charging I'd find similar content somewhere else.

I miss the silly 90s microsoft hate, it actually made me look outside the MS bubble and learn other platforms.

Ah, the classic "Who needs privacy if you've got nothing to hide". I'm just glad most people don't think that way.

Yeah, that's actually surprisingly common, I remember working with a few before that did it. StartSSL and a Comodo reseller of some sort I think. I'm done with these companies, Let's Encrypt seems to be the only people doing

I found this challenge actually harmed my productivity - I wound up reading more reddit comments and playing less little puzzle games (think Flow Free, not Clash of Clans). The little puzzle games were relaxing and I could pay attention to

Wasn't it shown recently that LastPass literally downloads JS from their servers to run on specified pages for compatibility? I suppose that's good for ease of use, but pretty scary from a security tradeoffs perspective and indeed

Well, in my amateurish opinion - there was nothing wrong with the existing AES encryption implementation. But they also had a key derivation function based on running many iterations of AES, which was weird and non-standard, I mean it see

> Add support for KDBX 4.0, Argon2 and ChaCha20 [#148, #1179, #1230, #1494] I can finally give this a shot without having to use the weird custom AES-based KDF Keepass used to use. Awesome. Congrats on the release.

I assume GDPR would only impact you if you operate a business from European locations, right? Not like they can enforce their laws on my small business run from the other side of the planet. So long as my country isn't willing to ext

Is there a word for people who are extremely skeptical of expensive things? Maybe I'm just cheap, but my attitude is simple - unless you can show me an objective benefit, I ain't paying for it. When I see a "story" drivi

If it's anything I need to care about privacy with, I'm not uploading it to someone else's server even if I pay for it, I'm doing it locally. But if it's say, as a friend recently experienced, a handout from a teach

Yeah, they tried to do this to me so I complained to support and they refunded all my credits. At least their support staff treat you right, if not their software.

Worse still, this sort of simple manipulation of the analog data to the sensor would allow the camera to lend a sort of credence to faked images.

You have some choice native apps - Sublime is Python, which is rather horrible with memory usage and Thunderbird essentially embeds a browser just like Electron apps. Compare VSCode or Atom with Emacs or Gvim for something more native. To p

I see a few attempts - https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows and http://reactdesktop.js.org/ The Windows one is from Microsoft, but is single platform. Nothing officially supported by react

It'd be cool to have and it's relatively straightforward from a software engineering perspective, but it's so much boring grunt work that finding someone who wants to implement it might be challenging. If this is something yo

The thing about certificate authorities is the whole system is as insecure as the worst of them, so you may as well go find the cheapest. I've even managed to get wildcards for $30/year from an alphassl reseller.

Nvidia is pretty big in the machine learning space in general, not game specific these days - GPUs are pretty general purpose highly multithreaded number crunchers and Nvidia's been making moves further in this direction with their own

Yes, but there's already scripts handling many of the most popular. Check out acme.sh and remember, changing your DNS provider or hosting it yourself really isn't that bad. https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh

So what? At least only my snazzy file manager and media player get access to /sdcard - they still can't access other application's data to dump my browser credentials or modify those applications binaries to behave differentl

Yes - I basically use indented lists of tasks like this for everything. Indented because often times you realize you didn't quite break that down enough and need more steps underneath it for them to be approachable. Lots of tools are g

Yeah, I'm always amazed when someone my company hired as a developer doesn't understand what "open a terminal" means on Windows or I have to coach them through digging up the environment variables screen in control panel

The original artist had licensed it freely, both 2600 and the Trunk author had used that freely licensed work.

Seems more like a few hour long hacking session than some serious systemic problem to me.

Is OSM not doing this? I swear I've seen them importing and updating street level address data in my city - it directly referenced some city GIS server. Maybe not officially, but someone must be running scripts that do this?

I don't think people are doing that so much as there's just not much to discuss there - sure, you can yell at people to parent better til the cows come home or talk about how our society is somehow collapsing because of this but n
