It's not a matter of maturity, it's a matter of which development methodology is conducive to rapid progress for the greater good.

Pretty sure most people use Dropbox exactly because of its seamless Finder integration...

not sure why this isn't a transparent feature implemented via caching.

None of those are evil maid attacks.

by saynsedit 10y ago
Why not? Seems secure against evil maid to me (barring hardware backdoors like Intel).

Appreciate the fully secure boot process, even if the Intel situation isn't fully secure. Wish I had an external uC with burned-in firmware on my machine that I trusted to verify my BIOS firmware and orchestrate the boot process.

It doesn't matter. Engineering disciplines don't need a philosophy. Imagine if bridge builders had bridge building philosophies. It's nonsense.

Yeah, the fact that they were Constantine coins reinforces that theory.

Except "all matter is made of atoms" has been empirically shown and is scientifically consistent, whereas "all ideas are philosophy" is just meaningless abstract gibberish. It's not the same.

Meh. I don't buy the "moderate valuing of philosophy is a philosophy" argument. If everything is a philosophy then nothing is a philosophy. My point is, suckless products can actually suck despite following their "philos

by saynsedit 10y ago
Exactly my point. Philosophy has its place in software engineering but often it's not on a pedestal.

American democracy: suck it up, you don't really have a choice.

Sucks less until it starts to suck more. It's religion not science. Classic NIH.

In theory, the connection between the client and the server would be anonymous.

Are these writes happening in ~/.cache?

Because the UNIX hierarchy is standardized. System admins only expect bin, lib, etc, share, etc. to be in /usr/local. Imagine deleting /usr/local with the intention of only deleting local packages and accidentally breaki

/usr/local was bad but /usr/local/Homebrew is worse. The best would have been /opt/brew (short, no uppercase letter)

Yes, I'd love to see the compression ratio vs. image quality comparison.

I roughly agree with you in that I think the "Snowden is in the wrong" perspective is overrepresented in the media. That's what I meant by "it's not their fault." I'd bet the public on average is less extr

Great justification for extrajudicial state-sponsored murder. Non-congress authorized war makes it okay. Gotcha.

Snowden did not expose the documents, the journalists did... It was their journalistic duty to reveal a minimal yet sufficient amount of evidence to inform the public, not his.

Putin was behind this, I knew it!

Yeah, Americans sleep when they hear 90% of drone attack deaths are civilians: https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-assassination-comp... But they are wide awake and outraged when Snowden's ostensible act of

Wow. I wouldn't unilaterally condemn all of Oliver Stone's movies. Salvador was amazing, as was JFK.

As far as the math and wave theory components of music theory go... OP covered everything except a discussion of harmonics. For example, third harmonic (3f in OP's terms) of a note is the perfect fifth of that same note. You can find s

What will drive the commensurate increase in competition? If competition stays the same, inflation will simply drive prices up.

Some may argue we are already in a post-scarcity economy. Unfortunately virtual scarcity will persist for some time. This is because the economic system isn't organized enough to distribute all resources fairly and efficiently. As jobs

Physical difference is not the same thing as genetic difference. Humans may subjectively look very different but genetically humans aren't very different. This is empiracle fact. Stop living in the 19th century.
