But when you plan on using it in a way that might not be intended, and you don't check the terms of service, well, that's on you. I don't need to check your terms of services if I'm doing something that I'm allowe

There were times when I could not watch content in Linux because the DRM decoder didn't work in Linux, so even if I paid, I couldn't get the content I paid for. That's another story, but with HTML5 that's all fixed. Ho

True, gigantic GUI programs such as full Office suites featuring heavy featuritis aren't the best match for volunteer-based development efforts. They just involve too much mind-numbing busywork. What's your point regarding versin

Isn't this just using the Windows default library search path, though? How is NSIS supposed to know whether the library to be loaded is malicious or the result of a conscious admin decision (e.g. to circumvent some undesired installer

Yep, the Yarchive is awesome. Some of the older discussions on computer architecture and programming languages have real historical value and are hard to find anywhere else on the net. Great work Norman did there. Does anyone know why the r

Man, do I hate that crap. Oracle is another ugly example. After buying Sun, some genius there apparently thought that it's OK to break tons of links all over the web (and in Usenet archives, etc.), redirecting them to the fucking gener

I sort of get why they have to do that I don't. Can you explain?

You, too, seem to misunderstand the concept of a Go import path. It's a string that identifies a package. It's not a URL. To provide for sane namespacing, people tend to use DNS names and URL paths to name their packages, just lik

The idea that somehow every single language and community needs its own crappy package management systems is just utterly broken. There's no reason you can't use the same package format and tools for code written in multiple langu

Considering its awesome usability, the design can't be that bad. Sure, it might look dated by today's taste but its users don't care when they want to read a specific archived list thread with minimal friction.

It is evaluated as code only after the (legitimate) player modified the environment to do exactly that. If I can convince you to paste some random code from this HN comment into a command interpreter, that could do similar things to your

The L suffix of the MOVL says it's using 32 bits of the register. You move a byte with MOVB and use CMPQ to compare the full 64 bits. You see this too with AT&T syntax, sometimes.

Incredibly, there does not appear to be any way whatsoever to securely verify downloads from respected openSUSE. That seems not only incredible, but plain false. OpenSUSE offers PGP-signed checksum files prominently with the images. It al

True, but for both of them you already might be able to get the proper key through a trusted channel. Fedora has the keyrings for at least Arch, Debian and Ubuntu (besides its own ones, naturally) in its RPM repos, so Fedora users can get t

At least for Linux distribution (basically all of them), update installation is through signed packages that get verified using known keys.

Are you on OS X? LLDB might work a bit better there than on other platforms.

You still need to install horrible binary plugins available only for a small set of platforms.

Yes, Perforce can handle huge repos with gigantic binary files much better than git. Sadly, it sucks at pretty much everything else.

What do they think the people who want this are going to do if they can't buy it legally? I can't imagine it didn't cross their mind that those folks are likely to just...pirate it. Awesome "anti-piracy" measure.

Right, it's very likely that systemd is the reason luxpir's N900 (released in 2009) doesn't boot anymore.

Just that now, the CDM piece ships by default in Chrome, Safari, IE/Edge and is automatically downloaded on demand on Firefox. They're probably fine with ignoring the existence of any other browser. See about:plugins on Chrome to

I think you misunderstood EME. It doesn't let browsers compete on equal footing. The parts that actually matter for accessing Netflix are deliberately excluded from standardization. So here I have my shiny new browser. I implemented

You probably should also give up on going to any conferences on US soil in the future.

Bullshit. EME specifies a Javascript API for use by websites. What Firefox uses to talk with a CDM is right there in the name of that Github repo: it's an interface called GMP and was created by Mozilla specifically for video/medi

by slrz 10y ago
Back then, Mozilla's plan was for the CDM to inspect the running Firefox and deny playback if it detects tampering of the relevant browser parts. How the hell that is supposed to work if the CDM is oh-so-sandboxed is left as an exercis
