ah, it looks like the post has been changed to read "software vendors".

by trav4225 8y ago
I'm a little confused. What does the author mean by "software editors"?
153.
by trav4225 8y ago
It's 2018; "reporting" and "sensationalism" are synonyms. ;)

Thanks for commenting. I understand your position, but the extreme "hermit" case is exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't say anything about purchasing a shelter. I can hang leaves over sticks like humans have done fo

We cannot escape the government. We can choose to ignore any or all companies. If I want to, I can lock myself in my house, disconnect from society, and subsist on my backyard garden. But there is no escape from the state. Even if I go comp

I'm not taking a wider position here but, in my personal experience, the statement "everyone already knows the risks" doesn't seem to be very true at all. A number of people I've come across have attempted highly ha

When I visited Seattle a few times back in the '90s, there was a McDonald's, I believe somewhere vaguely near near Lenora and 4th, that used to blast country music outside overnight, ostensibly to repel drug activity from their st

Hmm. I read the comment as addressing the goal of healthy, functioning cities rather than the goal of artificially leveling playing fields.

I hear ya. We probably differ on semantics. To me, the modern notion of "justice" seems to be concerned with the answer to the question "What does my fellow man owe me?". The answer to that question is always "not

Same here. 44 and counting...

What a perfectly rational explanation. Thank you for not instantly appealing to vague notions of social justice. Dishearteningly, however, people still do this. When people demand affordable rent but do not get it, many still cry "inju

"human beings inevitably have to impose their BS on other people" Welcome to planet Earth! ;-) Humans do this with everything, regardless of whether they are sincere believers, religious zealots, strident atheists, or Silicon Val

lol, i don't want to make assumptions, but it's hard to not wonder if this post is being downvoted simply because it mentions "church"...

People put way too much faith in these vehicles IMO...

Hah, I feel your pain. I suspect we are indeed "doing it wrong". Best of luck to you!

by trav4225 9y ago
Sounds very sensible. I plan to make it a point of emphasis during my next job search.

A bit off-topic, but after reading "software engineer with a full-time job, but I have lots of spare time in my off hours" I find myself contemplating if I'm alone in wondering how anyone can have free time with a full-time s

Sadly, this can be read as a parody of the idealism that's baked into a lot of governmental policy... :-)

I seriously hope you're just kidding around with that last paragraph...

This is nothing more than taking IP law to its logical conclusion... ;)

Interesting. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, agreed: it's all pretty broken, unfortunately.

Probably the dozens of various DNS, DKIM, SPF, SMTP behavior config, non-consumer-IP, etc., etc. boxes that must be ticked just right in order to not be considered a spammer these days. It's very difficult to get it all correct enoug

I'd say the same thing without narrowing the statement to C/C++. ;-)

by trav4225 9y ago
Hmm, perhaps you are right... I switched from consumer gear to more "enterprise-y" gear a few years back, so my data points may be a bit outdated.

by trav4225 9y ago
Right. I was assuming that the context here was connections being initiated by the client (as most are).

by trav4225 9y ago
I suspect that what andreasvc meant is that the default "NAT" configuration of most consumer-grade gear is such that it will block UDP (unless some other mechanism such as UPnP is used)...
