We have a bike sharing system in my city, but one must always return the bike to an automated bike rental station where the bike is locked. This is how it works in London as well AFAIK. A bike left just somewhere is a violation of the servi

> Not everyone cares about cross-platform, some developers rather specialize in a given platform. Yeah. This is exactly what people thought in the early 2000s of IE6. It was the de facto 'standard' web browser. Whole enterpri

Remembering the EFF's recent EFAIL alarmist campaign against GPG, it's worrying how they seem to have recently gotten so many things wrong. It sadly destroys one's credibility in a debate when the opponent can paint you as so

That is incorrect. GDPR allows hoarding data from consumers, but requires explicit consent. The business model of FB is to offer a free service in exchange of consent to tracking and targeted ads. Hoards of internet users are already '

Please don't bother. Obscure, very rarely used language constructs like these often don't really enhance the code's maintainability. On the contrary; would you have understood the very same code yourself before reading this

AFAIK the whole point of ssh-agent is that the private keys are NOT extractable by other processes. https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent : > The agent will never send a private key over its request channel. Instead, operat

I offer free hosting and administration for a non-profit's Drupal site. It has been a wild month. A few weeks after the March RCE issue, Drupal security team announced that the bug was being actively exploited in the wild. For the RCE

I wonder what is the charging power with this? Can the car sustain its battery infinitely if you drive over electrified highways only?

Sadly, the reddit website has become a travesty - especially on mobile. A huge "DOWNLOAD THE REDDIT APP" banner obscures literally 30% of the page. There is a teeny-tiny "view on mobille site" link in small, low-contrast

Very satisfied with my work Dell XPS 15, model 9560. My colleagues mostly use MBPs, and I always feel sorry for them if I have to use the latest model's keyboard. The XPS's build is rigid and it's possible to work full day wi

I was initially fascinated by the Dyalog YouTube video where the guy codes Conway's Life in APL.[1] It have certainly never witnessed such programming before. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4

I was much confused by this example: > AND and OR semantics are represented by ∧ and ∨ respectively. > (1 3 5 > 6 2 4) ∧ (1 3 5 = 6 3 1) > => 1 0 1 This is an error in the article. If you type the expression in TryAPL.org, it

This is why I think the 'right to be forgotten' legislation might actually be a GOOD thing. Sure, it's some extra work when designing a new system, and lots of legacy systems require expensive rework, and a few twats will abu

Yes, and one should recall that Android is just a Linux usermode abstraction layer. You can have Android apps within a traditional Linux distro, and Sailfish are already doing that. My understanding is it can be technically made work pretty

In this case, I actually used it purposefully. Hitting on quantum mechanical limits are in part holding us from infinitely increasing the information density on HDDs and SSDs.

Indeed. "Cloud" is essentially tons of commodity hardware nodes running a tailored userspace distributed file system application. There now certainly exist cloud services that host well in excess of 2^64 bytes, but they are not ho

As a non-English speaker, my obvious question is how does the PSF2 format encode fonts with more than 256 glyphs? How would one go about implementing Unicode text rendering? Combine glyphs from multiple 8-bit codepages to get the required c

Generally speaking, there are ways to reduce a JVM library to the subset that is actually ever referenced by the app during compilation, like ProGuard. So of the 150 MB theorized library payload only maybe a megabyte is actually used by som

When is the last time you tried Firefox on mobile? Since quantum landed on the Android version, it's become really smooth - comparable to Chrome on my phone (Pixel) at least.

I am a strong advocate of PII privacy, but this does not demonstrate a privacy violation. Services need to gather data about their user's behaviour, but as long as that collection is done in an anonymized fashion and the behaviour da

Literally right above the paragraph I quoted says Schmidt sought lenience on the grounds that he was ordered to lie to the regulators by his supervisors and a company lawyer. Looks like in his own mind his only crime was being loyal to a co

From the article: > Mr. Schmidt did not identify any Volkswagen superiors who might have pressured him to lie to regulators. I think the point here is refusal to co-operate with prosecutors. They wanted to know who at Volkswagen told him
