As I posted on the other thread about this news, the interpretation that this gives the government "new hacking powers" is just flat-out wrong, and shame on the EFF for using it to spread FUD. The ONLY thing changed by this propos

See my post in this thread that quotes the rule change. This is entirely about venue for search warrants. A valid warrant is still required, ALL this rule change does is expand which jurisdictions the government can apply for the warrant

I would encourage anyone interested to actually read the proposed rule change. "(b) Venue for a Warrant Application. At the request of a federal law enforcement officer or an attorney for the government: (6) a magistrate judge with aut

It does 'seach' and 'show' from apt-cache at least, not sure about any others.

Looks like the author of the modules wrote a shell script to generate a package.json file and publish empty modules to npm to grab up all the unpublished names. However, when they ran it, they ran it in the same folder with their shell scr

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding, I've seen a lot of people who seem to think that Electron is the "text editor" and that Atom and VS Code are just different "shells" built on top of it with Github and Microsof

by tomku 11y ago
Electron isn't an editing component, it's the combination of Node and Chromium that sits under VS Code and Atom and a whole bunch of other apps, many of which have nothing to do with text editing.

People on social media reacted stupidly, but then he tried to engage the horde and prove that they were wrong to be offended by retweeting dozens (hundreds?) of people who backed him up. That was a strategy that could not result in anythin

It's just a matter of what you're used to. I'm a recent Mac convert and I can't stand the old clicky trackpads, but I love the haptic click on my MBP's trackpad.

That message actually means that your client has roaming enabled and is therefore vulnerable.

To add on to this, by submitting the bug report, Tavis did not somehow magically become responsible for educating Trend Micro programmers about security.

f.lux needs to be able to control the screen at a very low level while other applications are running, which isn't possible using just the public iOS API. The sideloaded version of f.lux used some internal APIs to do that, which would

I think you've severely misread my comment. I'm absolute NOT proposing any kind of "abstinence only education" regarding sexting. I support what you said about teaching the risks and safer alternatives. If that's

The article talks about "safe sexting" education as a solution, but I'd like to suggest that such a thing does not and perhaps will never exist. It's great that you trust the person you're sending the pictures to no

Said it on the post about this last week, but thanks for listening. I was one of the vocal critics of the original subscription plan, this new one is something that I can live with.

As one of the people who was pretty frustrated with the original plan, I can live with this. Thanks for listening and incorporating our feedback.

I use Reeder/Feedly every day to keep up with a ton of different information sources. There's just too many interesting sources to manually check them all and aggregators like HN or Reddit can be hit-or-miss. Edit: Something to c

If you want to fix this and regain some of the respect that you've lost in the past few hours, here's my suggestion. Keep the subscription model. Set the non-discounted prices for a year's subscription at the same price leve

by tomku 11y ago
This would be a great compromise, but I suspect that part of moving to the subscription model would be to do away with "one major version release per year" entirely and put out more frequent releases. It's a tough position fo

If you want to see internal changes in Windows, look at the server versions, not the desktop ones. Over that time frame where you said nothing happened, Hyper-V has gone from a research project to a central part of the Windows server space
