IIRC there is. You can log out, and then have the option to not apply the updates (you'll have Shut down or update and shut down in the poweroff menu).

OS updates (or any update that potentially takes more than 2 minutes) shouldn't ever be forced. It's just terrible. Sure, there should be some prominant prompts saying "Plz update me" from time to time (so the average jo

The line is, their content is free, even though they were not required to. If it was a teacher that put his content up on his personal website, nobody would care. But because it was done in MIT's name, people start throwing dirt. I&#x2

Unfortunately, I have to agree with GP here. Even if they're ads for MIT and Harvard, they're "good ads". We absolutely don't want to disincentivize them. Forcing these kind of regulations against them is a disservi

What features of TCP would allow serverless connections ? AFAIK, even BitTorrent (DHT) and others connect to a centralized "super-node" which then gives them other nodes to connect to.

Well, tbh that is somewhat grounded in reality: lots of minecraft's early performance problems were caused by the GC, which wouldn't have been a problem if writing "idiomatic" C++. Lots of those problems have since been

The problem isn't so much about how apple is so behind on standards. The problem is that they make it impossible for alternative browsers providing more up-to-date standards to exist on their platform, effectively locking away that use

You can run ntfsfix, a part of the ntfs-3g suite, to fix fs errors.

AFAIK, moz's CA isn't just for FF. On linux, the default "root CA" used by google chrome is mozilla's NSS as shown here[0]. Also, other root certificate programs may follow suit. [0]: https://www.chromium

signatures are hard to fake. virtual logs, not so much. Planting evidence in there is so easy it hurts. And people might not know how easy it is to fake that evidence, whereas it's pretty obvious to anyone that a witness can lie... I&#

On firefox, the graph isn't "real time", it only updates when you stop dragging. Other examples seem to work real time in the gallery though, so I suppose it's just a problem with that page ? In any case, this is really

If it really was equivalent to 816bit rsa, messages encrypted with it would be cracked within hours, and nobody would use ecc... I'd like to see proof that a 256bit Curve25519 is really that weak.

Yes, but instead of writing them by hand, you should just use the unprefixed version, and use autoprefixer to support older browsers. This also ensures you don't forget anyone.

The value is that optimizing would make jade/pug's code more complicated, whereas a generic tool that minimizes html according to these rules would work on whatever preprocessing tool you use (PHP, ejs, erb, handlebars, pug) that

Looks cool. However, looking at the github, it looks like the code needs to be instrumented manually. I've been looking for a tool that would automatically instrument functions at compile-time to inject code (for logging or otherwise)

The thing is : 1. You need to know and understand obscure behavior of substr 2. This hides the programmer's true intent. What you want is to know if the string ends with 'st', not that "the 'st'.length last cha

Good point. Should have been "test".substr("test".length - "st".length) === "st" Or is it substring? Might there be an off by one in there? Anyway, this kind of reflexion only proves my point. There&#

But the origin of the bug is still certainly in the unsafe areas.

Well it kind of is. A modified BSD kernel (open source, called darwin) that can't run without heavy modifications on non-apple hardware, with lots of proprietary libraries bolted in. So they effectively took an open source software and

I found OVH's offer to be very good on every point, except customer service. I'm mostly using Kimsufi dedicated servers, and let's just say that when shit goes wrong, you're left alone in the dark. Anecdote: I had my ded

This is the problem I have with PHP. 15 ways to do something seemingly simple, and only one obscure way is correct (What's PDO::ATTR_MODE ?) And why does PDO try to emulate prepares ?

by roblabla 10y ago
PHP (the interpreter) used to be filled with bugs, design flaws and incoherences. It got better lately, but IMO it still caries a huge mess of legacy stuff that shouldn't even exist (mysql_real_escape_string anyone?) In this case, bot

Sadly, it doesn't work in Edge (Although it's a rather good thing : there's no space in the chrome without tabs, so it would've been awkward)

Well, it does work (just have to allocate the IPs statically) but since you're kinda not supposed to do that, I assume it will either stop working one day, or get my machine voided as a TOS violation or whatnot. It really is unfortunat

OVH's cheap dedicated servers, Kimsufi, only provides a single /126 IPv6 address, instead of the recommended /64 block :(.
