Having an insecure os (not that I'd say that Windows is one) on a machine that does nothing else but gaming is still more secure than doing everything on the same machine.

I‘m a proponent of MIT and BSD style licenses normally, but this calls for something like AGPL: Allow other researchers and engineers to improve upon your code and build amazing things with it. If someone wants to use your work to earn mone

Not using indices at all when iterating whenever possible completely eliminates the cognitive overhead.

You're overestimating the smarts of google: Image search does not classify image contents. It uses the site text for ranking of the images on that site. It finds lots of "Black And White Couple Stock Photo" images - the image

Image search does not classify image contents. It uses the site text for ranking of the images on that site. Do a google (not image) search for "white people" and you'll see that this phrase is mostly used in pages that are i

Bitcoin is not a central service. That's like saying "email never had service failure"... Still, from a technical perspective it sure is (was) an astounding achievement to create the first widely deployed blockchain.

You are focusing on the consumption side and your proposed steps seem like a good way to bring back easy consumption of RSS feeds. But the problem lies elsewhere: the blogs I regularly visit still have RSS feeds, but most content now isn’t

Oh yes it was! Did you talk to „normal people“ in Germany back then? It’s not like that was the way it was reported by the media, but that’s what people understood.

Up until last week, I thought you’re not supposed to do this out of performance reasons (string needs to be evaluated even if not logged). That log4j does anything else on this string than writing it to some log destination is the real prob

Was "any" a reserved word in Go before? Because if not, this would be a breaking chnage for all code that uses a var named "any".

It's not clear if iCloud is exploitable. Just the DNS lookups do not prove that remote code execution via ldap is active. In fact, if they are using an up to date JRE, it's not. I tried to exploit my own apps and could only get it

I've not seen much speculation on how this bug was created in the first place, so I'll take a guess here: On https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/lookups.html it says: "Lookups provide a

This kind of logging in not used for tracking. It's used for finding out why stuff went wrong. So your rant seems a bit out of place here.

This is not true. Swarm is part of docker-ce and there's no deprecation warning in the documentation. To quote from there: "Docker Swarm mode is built into the Docker Engine. Do not confuse Docker Swarm mode with Docker Classic Sw

I deployed Docker Swarm in a small cluster at work this year. After evaluating K8S, Nomad and Swarm it was the solution that best fit our needs (together with Portainer for graphical management and a few scripts to deploy from jenkins). The

True. But as those are very dependent on where you live, does it even make sense to report inflation for the whole country?

Progress bars are hard. You could try to come up with something that guesses the user's connection speed from the first few bytes, somehow checks what's already in the cache and you will still have an inaccurate progress bar. Prob

If "longer signal processing ways" are the cause for the perceived speed up of time, then every minute, every hour would feel shorter, wouldn't it? This isn't what most people are experiencing as they age though - single

That does not change the fact that Dropbox could have made the Mac UI easy to port as soon as it was foreseeable that apple eventually will go arm only. So they had at least 2 years.

The Dropbox client exists for iOS and writings were on the wall that macs would switch to arm. This is simply a sign of wrong priorities.

If it disturbs you, there will sure be a software that moves the menu bar below and makes the top black. This is a Mac and not an iOS device after all. I’ll take the extra pixels.

Instead of arguing if this implementation is good or bad, can we please talk about the elephant in the room? What exactly is this snippet supposed to do? Filter out „bad“ usernames by exact match? How did they even come up with this list? T

Doesn’t sound like this is the case from the linked Twitter thread: „App bars become UINavigationControllers. Standard controls just need light branded touches. Lists can align with modern UITableView and list-based collection view APIs. Me
