Being a journalist should not put you above the law, but the law should be careful to protect freedom of the press. It is a foundational element of western society -- even though we're talking about Canada, which doesn't have a f

Couldn't a competent developer just ask for direct funding from a Kickstarter campaign? No need for any central authority really.

Market pressure will always drive outcomes, so you have to incentivize for the outcome you desire. It's far from clear how to bias such speculative (no pun intended) future costs against immediate returns even if you could identify a

For what it's worth, Zoho.com gives catch-all ability with their free tier as long as you supply your own domain.

You're transiting over their network anyway -- the jig is already up even without relaying via their gateway.

I'm curious, in what way? I can not look at any Pinterest content because I don't have an account with them. Figured most people would relent and sign up -- but perhaps this is the problem you were talking about?

It really sucks that Dvxk has to warn against the dangers of using it for online gaming: "Manipulation of Direct3D libraries in multi-player games may be considered cheating and can get your account banned. This may also apply to singl

This is so obviously problematic and yet Amazon fails to correct it -- leaves me feeling very suspicious of their motivations and erodes the goodwill i had for them.

Well you'll just be preaching to the choir with people who already agree with you. Changing the narrative, truly reaching across the isle has a better chance of effecting real change.

Think we agree on all the important points then. At least so far. For the record I'm no fan or defender of Trump. But whatever we think of his obvious character flaws, he's really nothing without supporters. What I have been try

That article doesn't have a single reference to MRAs and speculates about it being a 4chan troll to begin with.

There is a plausible alternative motivation of wanting to protect the American Dream (for those already here in the country) rather than an evil desire to deny it to others. Of course reasonable people can disagree on the degree of the thre

Isn't the sentiment expressed by that word essentially "country with a lot of problems"? Is it much worse than saying "ours is the best country in the world"? Both are pretty insulting.

I think it's about Google advertising channels -- with advertising decisions being the driver, not the quality of the content from the Youtube side. The main consumers of this designation are potential Google customers, not Youtube co

Thank you. Went searching how to do it in Zsh as well when the Zshell Line Editor (zle) is configured in vi mode: $ bindkey -M viins '\e.' insert-last-word Will make ESC-. work from insert mode.

Fewer key presses, but doesn't work if you're using vi bindings.

As i understand it, you can extract memory from another process by controlling input data to that process. First sending data to train an exploitable branch prediction point for success and then sending data which will use a misprediction

That's really impressive, she should be proud of what she's done. As for me, i'm not too proud of how far I got... couldn't figure out which painting had a plant behind it or what to do next.

You inspired me to give it a try. There is a lot to like but cross platform GUI isn't there yet. All the GUI examples I tried failed with cryptic error messages. Took some searching ("Red" doesn't lead to fruitful sea

Not really. There have been such allegations going back to every election. There is no evidence that they were more prevalent this time around. In any case, it really seems to not be relevant in a statistical sense of playing a deciding

The laws didn't change drastically from the time a few years earlier when all those people managed to get out and elect Obama. That doesn't seem like a deciding factor at all.

Am I being paranoid to think this is going to be heavily used to introduce proprietary and locked down protocols and content? How long is it until this is used to render web content onto a canvas without using individual DOM elements that

To be slightly pedantic, you are not required to pay for it just because you are selling something. The requirement is only that you comply with the terms of the GPL license by releasing source to any modifications that you ship.

You would think that an initial pass of SELECT could be made only to note any aliases. It would be a much appreciated nod to usability.
