I know what this guy is trying to say about Apple, but it should be said that Linux isn't that way any more. Really the last time I installed a Linux distro on a laptop it went wonderfully. I'm not even a Linux fan boy. I'm

I know that we are all supposed to be "communism is teh bad", but the history of the Soviet Union is more complicated than just saying it was Communist, right? I'm actually kind of asking in hopes that someone who knows somet

The article says you don't get the free software movement without RMS. What about BSD?

It even has argument completion. That's really nice. I'm going to put this through its paces and see if its as good as it sounds.

I would say it needs to be more like BBC with a funding stream that isn't dependent on Government approval.

"support GPL as they are definitely unlikely to be using it for any products" They ship the Linux kernel as part of Windows now. They ship updates for it through Windows update. It's in beta, but will be released this quarter

Trillions of dollars change hands every day in New York. How much should the infrastructure for a place like that cost?

Populism is always decried as unserious by media because they are biased towards status quo. FDR was elected four times being a democratic populist. EDIT: the paper does mention right wing populism specifically. It's dangerous because

Aristotle thought that democracy required some level of maintained equality to be stable. Madison thought that elites should run a democratic republic so that economic equality wasn't needed. We expanded the concept of who has franchis

Adding group SID's to an optional field in Kerberos was them using a standard to support their own system. It was never incompatible with MIT or Heimdal. Those systems didn't use the group information in the optional field, but yo

This is going to be used by woo woo types for years. Did you know that our brains operate in 11 dimensions? Or, how can we get our brains to operate in all the dimensions it's capable of? Or, brains operate in 11 dimensions...and the s

Sweet. Thanks, pal.

I normally like your comments. And, sorry, we don't all know that it isn't a magic bullet. Thus the people who seem personally invested in this stuff like its a conspiracy and the one true thing is being kept down by the man. Agai

I get that, but why couldn't you use something like GC for resource management. Maybe I sound stupid here, but it seems like the kind of task that machines would be better at than humans.

by youdontknowtho 7y ago
I don't mean to sound dense, but couldn't all resource management be automated to a large degree? It's not my area, so I am really asking, not trying to be a smart a .

Someone else mentioned it in another thread, but the propagation of issues related to code in unsafe regions to other sections of code that are nominally safe is an ongoing research area. It sounds really cool, though. Would love to hear mo

Sure, but the toxic cesspool that is undermining civilization has less to do with software and more to do with the way that we have organized civilization. I can understand what you mean, though. It's really lame to hear "that&#x2

I get it. Languages are where major security gains are going to be made. Everyone knows that. That being said, the proselytizing is obnoxious.

Looking forward to enough Rust adoption that people stop seeing it as a magic bullet. Once it's in large scale use and there are still errors that lead to security problems maybe people will get over themselves.

Again, it's not about the company owning the data. For instance, regulatory requirements might mean that someone comes to you and says...give me every interaction and related data that references this person who doesn't work here.

That's a good point about switching between different companies "teams". That takes forever. And why does it have that crazy "you're offline sorry" thing. That's the whole point of having a local client in

This is the one criticism that I actually agree with. Electron apps are pretty painful. If they are going to keep doing this they need a way to compile the things to native binaries. I don't know...something. I personally get really ki

"Microsoft must really be struggling" Not really. They are making more money than ever. They don't have customers asking for a Linux client in large enough numbers. That's all it is.

It's not that a company owns their data, or needs privacy, its that they need tools to discover customer or even non-customer data from across the entire suite of systems that they use. It's a tremendous amount of data and MS buil

Teams benefits from the cross-product and service GDPR and eDiscovery tools that MS has built. It's hard to explain the scale of some of that stuff, but it cuts across O365.

It reminds me of the "math stuff" from Aronofsky's movie "PI"...with the exception that I enjoyed "PI".
