I think the users would be disappointed if it was Bing or duckduckgo. Wouldnt they?

Google pays Mozilla to be the default search provider. They actually get a bunch of Google search users from that deal and they don't pay a lot for the marketshare they got for it. If anything, Google wins with that deal.

For I use Linux, i find these browsers cool but you wont uninstall chrome and firefox. Only chrome and firefox work for ALL sites properly...

That would be interesting if that ever happens ;) It certainly could, eventually, although you can use this only once...

Its a bug in the isight firmware. theyre not magically disabling hardware :) its neat but it only works on a very specific camera module.

A lot of webcams have a hardware LED (ie when the camera the powered the LED goes on because on the current path). Some have it software controlled (either firmware or driver). The first ones are pretty safe since you know when they're

I feel like a large-enough amount of people just spend their days finding a reason to be complaining at everything. A word, a look, whatever really. Whatever one will be doing it will never be good enough for some. They just want to be unha

So because some people are colorblind or just blind lets not do it. Great logic. I think we should also disable voice calls. Some people are deaf.

every company eventually goes to the dark side and does something like that, unless it dies before and then nobody knows if the data is gone or not. I'm not sure how its unfair. Pretty sure their 10000 lines clauses will indicate somet

Early merge feels more polite, late merge is safer and faster on the overall traffic (and much faster if you're the only one doing it + you're seen as impolite) They want to make it more common. Pretty sure everywhere in EU everyo

Containers are great but this guy is right, you do need to secure them almost like a regular service - and it doesn't seem to be a very well understood thing around my coworkers ;)

tbh this happens to me more often in chrome than firefox these days.. i do get slowdowns in firefox when some tabs are loading tho. but the complete freeze in chrome is when the ui or something goes wrong, its rarely a single tab (which do

nothing's novel - but consider this for example: - if its a server and you copy your private key onto it its likely to be compromised one day and the key reused even thus it was encrypted.. since its decrypted in memory when used. plus

if you unlock it as soon as it expires im not sure what that gives you. all the attacker needs anyway in that scheme is 24h, its not a big difference.

So doing it right works. Nice :) I like these articles as it gives good examples/help supporting decisions when you dont want the crappy hack, but the do it right instead.

I wonder how that'd look like with http/2.0. If it goes ahead with certificate"less" https by default i'd wonder if they would use that icon for https websites which dont have a certificate ;)

I'm completely pro-bots but it does seem this one writes way too short articles with very little content. Bots need to do a similar-enough job to humans while being fast and reliable. Not spam the wiki with names and basically no info.

Its kinda cool even thus of course id never want that on a website. That said, i took a screenshot on windows 8.1+Firefox and it worked just fine. I took a few more screenshots.... and they were all fine too...

it doesnt make it any less true. besides, that C python's GIL sucks doesnt mean threading or event models sucks. In doubt, ask nginx how they feel about that. Then ask apache's mpn-prefork how that feels.

the author seems to be unaware of threading and event based models. multiprocessing adds memory isolation through the CPU's protected memory.

here's the difference: - make the build system reproducable, so that every build is exactly the same binary, no matter who runs it. that's "easy". But you don't know why you get that exact binary - make the build

it stops at sharing. what he describes works OK on the OS. In fact, mobile OSes start enforcing similar stuff. RSBAC, SELinux, what not, did this for years. NSA you say? SELinux codebase is ridiculously small. It's the concepts that ma

deterministic doesnt really mean trust per se to me. it means reliable. if you dont know what you're getting every time its hard to be any reliable. of course, if you're reliable, its more trustable.

That also relates to the why the police is generally enforcing whatever a government wants, while the military always sides with the people when things go really wrong.
