It's a very interesting phenomenon in recent years and most of the discussions about "why" are immediately blocked by the "memory safety" argument, as if it's a silver bullet for a…

Why do you have the opinion that it's shit? What have you seen there and what were you expecting? Are you aware that there are many different boards on 4chan, covering pretty much …

Yes. From the article: "It's [sic] final retail price is set at 1599€" I was actually excited from the title but upon reading further I got really disappointed. It's basically wish…

I am aware of the tons of subscription based email services but that is not the point here. What good is self hosting when you still need to rely on some external paid service for …

Setting up the email server is the only thing I couldn't do with my own home hosted setup because you're at the mercy of your internet provider to give you the PTR record in their …

It's exactly what it was designed for - text processing! Which fits perfectly for the irc protocol.

Oh great, yet another front-end framework, but this one is with paid features as well. Are we seriously going to pretend this isn't getting out of hand?

It was on their SGI workstation that they lugged to home, but yeah, pretty much that's how they recovered most of the files. At the end they barely used the material.

Micro HDMI is basically a non working connector. It baffles me how it was even approved. One of the requirements of a connector is to work. Micro HDMI doesn't work. Sure, it might …

normal.php is a perfectly valid php file. Sure, it doesn't contain php code but that doesn't make it invalid php file. If it did have <?php somewhere and if the following wasn't a …

Of course there are tons of better formats than JPEG but it needs to be understood that the most important feature of JPEG is to be exchangeable. It doesn't matter what your shiny …

Naah, even that hack Brian Greene is distancing himself from String theory.

It's not dead at all. You're probably looking at https://github.com/etoile/Etoile which only contains the basic directory structure, but the code itself is in other repositories un…

I have 18 years of professional experience with developing software. I have been employed with six companies through these years and had a three year stint working on my own compan…

Macs had only one mouse button for a very long time and the mouse wheel was new at the time. If you want right click press ctrl while clicking with the mouse.

> That was because the networking standards prior to the web were complicated and not well documented. I have to disagree with this one. I have written networking applications with…

There kind of is a standard notion for logging on UNIX and it's /var/log/. stderr, although it suggests a stream for errors, is actually more correctly called a diagnostic stream. …

I've had my gmail address for more than 15 years and the spam filter worked perfectly until the last couple of years when comically obvious spam messages started getting directly i…

Although many people might have not seen most of the GUIs in this article, the article is also horribly wrong on some of them. The screenshot for KDE/GNOME has absolutely nothing t…

It appears so. About an year ago I started getting the most obvious spam messages directly to my inbox. I have been using my current gmail account for more than 16 years now and I'…

I am trying really hard to make sense of the past two years and constantly giving the benefit of the doubt, but it's really not easy. So many banal things have become news worthy a…
