If by "question" you mean an average web scripter with a community college degree in "IT" deciding what elliptic curve to use in conjunction with what cipher suite and protocol...then maybe the answer is yes?

Because making safe, efficient settings the hard-to-tamper-with default would be waaay too sensible?

Sigh. If you're configuring "Curve Preferences" you're doing it wrong. Crypto either works out of the box or find another tool.

That would be nice to know. Arrow still seems active, and has been consistently so over the last 3 years. I have a bit of doubt about a time library that defaults to UTC but uses human phrases like "tomorrow". Who thinks about UTC

It would be ironic if that new touch bar was draining too much power.

Most aren't looking for an alternative. Why would they?

Sounds like Ansible is going the way of Docker. Open source devs see $$$ and the software goes to shit. The days of the noble craftsman are over.

I have to say I've been pretty disappointed with Cassini so far. Edit: reply was correct, I did in fact mean Juno.

Having to constantly repair my car with my phone and GPS is one of the frustrations of daily life. It's ridiculous - both the car and phone "remember" each other by their list of previously paired devices, yet they don't

Dispensing with Bridge and ferry seems like a step (no pun intended) backwards.

Become a $$$/hour contractor and learn to love the bureaucracy. Then wait for those all-too-often moments where a manager's ass is on the line if feature X doesn't ship by tomorrow and watch all the rules and regulations get

Wow that really brings back some memories. I feel like I am at high-school again in the 90s.

I hope AMD make a comeback. It is all I have ever owned (currently running a Phenom x6), but was contemplating going to Intel. That being said, it sounds like these are AMD benchmarks so be wary...

That's where it started, I don't think the mainstream media wants it to end there though.

Let's be clear - this whole "false news" thing is the liberal, elite press reacting against independent thinkers who dare question the narrative they are trying to push. This. Is. Why. Free. Speech. Exists.
