Poettering got drunk and read it?

It's a crap analogy. Why would you expose a printing API on a device without printing support? Just ifdef it out on the build.

I find it hard to like either of these organisations and their leadership. Surely they have PR people who realise this? Eventually they will, as other corporations have, poison themselves slowly.

Is it a love story? Is it a horror story? We will never know!

That is not really how it works though. Look at the amount of limping, poorly implemented FLOSS software there is out there where the maintainers show no interest at all or there is no funding to support it. Look at the whole OpenSSL mess a

No it was 6 months old and she doesn't care about it or phones. She thought it was broken. I charged it with my powerbank, an anker PD one and she ordered a proper charger off amazon. I gave her my spare USB-C cable. It was seen as a p

One of them was going to buy a new phone because it took a long time to charge. This was because she had a crap charger and crap cable. I am unsure if they are potatoes or not but I suspect they might be :)

Are you sure this isn't a tech industry viewpoint? I don't know anyone who knows what the difference between an app and a PWA is. I don't think I've seen anyone outside of the tech industry with a PWA active. In context

We don't entirely trust Apple. We just trust them more than other vendors.

It's a move against the third party browser engines which have been the bane of my existence from a security perspective on other platforms. For example, the about box in an Android app bundled a whole different browser engine which ci

As an end user who has been fucked over by the other side (MS/Google/crappy app vendors), I am behind their decision. If I was not I can choose to leave. I know this is a divisive comment. Please see my further extrapolation in a

Nah it’s materialistic garbage. It’s like winning a race no one is watching. Most of the people outside the tech community have no interest in this stuff. There is no buzz, no talk and no budget for it. People are barely even interested in

Hey all you have to do is persuade yourself you like drinking from your overlord's fountain of blood!

Careful now. A bad one cost me $500k after 20 years.

There was a thing 2-3 years ago around me where you'd go in Mcdonalds and they had several SSIDs in there called MCD0NALDS MCDWIFI MCDOONALDS MCRONALDS etc. If you connected to any of them, the sign in page would Goatse you. I suspect

I don't know why people obsess about ritualising this stuff. Just have a todo list and put dates on stuff and train yourself to pick up tasks off it properly. I'm just using Apple Reminders. Is on my phone and mac. Works with Siri

I don't disagree with you for ref. I don't mind working on defensive capability for sure and that's what I was involved in but the discussions moving to first strike capability were not where I wanted to be.

That's only part of the problem that needs to be solved. I have to read the CSV off the network and parse each field out. In a better language for the task, which I can't choose. > t <- read_csv('https:/&#x2

I think this problem is a symptom of another problem though. I mean the fact we have to scaffold stuff out like that suggests our programming languages are shitty, wasteful and lack sufficient abstraction over common problems. If we're

Haven't really noticed mine. Even after I've used it plugged into the studio display for a couple of days and go back to laptop mode, it's just such a non issue.

That is exactly why I am heading out of the industry. I have little faith in the direction and want nothing to do with it any longer.

Respect for citations. I'll read into this over the next few days. I tend to treat papers as disinteresting until someone has asked me to tear a new hole in one (I can only really do that mathematically) or they have been reproduced. D

That's a pipedream. Our current intermediary run cellular networks pretty much replaced all our previous infrastructure in that space because there are far fewer compromises to end user experience. Secondly, your phone doesn't hav

It was always cool. Until you find the only jobs on the market were ones that involve making machines that kill people. That’s what happened to me. YMMV.

Oh this is nothing. Go look at the social sciences. They get data that compromises their entire profession, tell the university it’s inconclusive and wait until the research grant runs out and fail to publish. Then do the same thing again.

This. It wasn’t Cisco. Far crappier vendor! I don’t want to name names but they had a few high profile incidents that suggested their software was written by idiots. There was a panic move by the security people to switch away and still ti

It was not an AWS product before or after. It was a SaaS VPN before and a vendor product running on EC2 after. The TCO for a year was $50k before (licenses mostly) and it was replaced with a total cost per month of $25k (licenses, EC2 insta
