With Apple, Facebook and Spotify doing this (and lots of reporting about it) I'd say ... cue the Streisand effect. Sometimes it's better to just not do anything, but I guess that doesn't get you PR points.

I don't like the KaiOS philosophy of "you can't write software for your device unless we like the idea". In order for mostly-dumb phone like that to be useful for me there are a few small things I'd need to sort out

I build my Emacs distribution, including packages, using Nix[1], which means that input hashes of all the package sources are fully pinned. This process is external to Emacs though. The Emacs internal managers all go towards the same HTTP(S

Go is statically typed (this means that the compiler performs its checks at compile time and hard-fails the compilation process in the presence of type errors), but there is no single definition of what "strong" means. Programming

The type of codebase scaling Google does is very different from other companies. They have huge numbers of junior developers right out of university (those that Rob Pike, one of the main authors of Go, likes to claim aren't good enough

There's an indexed list of posts about Go's flaws here: https://github.com/ksimka/go-is-not-good In my opinion, don't use Go at all if you can avoid it - it may be acceptable for a tiny CLI project but a

systemd timers most likely. You already have systemd and unit configurations are small. For dynamic stuff using normal systemd templates should work.

What's an average person, though? We're keeping this aura of mysticism around customized computer setups (obviously also because there's commercial interests against them). I think many "average" people would have n

The Github repository for the kernel is a mirror of the actual kernel.org repository. The kernel does not use a Github-style workflow, either.

It'd be great if companies offered a "buy back your privacy" subscription model. For the services I really don't want to stop using (Twitter ...) I'd definitely be using that.

This reminds me of a t-shirt I got at some Atlassian event a few years ago. It says "You </> me" and I haven't the slightest clue what that means, but it looks cool.

This hardly seems like an OpenGPG or S/MIME vulnerability to me and more like an XSS-like exploit of email clients.

Language maturity is not a one-dimensional problem and it's also not equal to the age of the language. To name just two ways in which I consider Rust more mature than Java: * It has a lot of fundamentals that are based on more academic

I aim for as few moving components at runtime as possible. Helm has tiller, which I'm not a big fan of. In addition its design (with warts like the separate versioning layer of charts) adds complexity that I don't think is necessa

We have more than one service, more than one environment, and auditability requirements (due to being a financial institution). I find it more complex to try and keep track of remote state modifications than to have a single source of truth
