I have shied away from certain designs because Google has very specific ideas about how a site should be structured, rooted in the pre- web app days. If Google had real competition…

When I'm performing a precise search, where the search engine should do exactly what I tell it, I use Duck Duck Go. I use Google when I want to rely on their "smart" algorithms. Ba…

That's not actionable. The dark part here is the serious threat of applying oppressive prior restraint policies at will. Employing machine learning in the process would only offer …

Came to say that case is sweet.

JSX is very close to HTML. Maybe the issue is expecting designers who have zero dev skills to build front ends in a time of responsive design and rich JS interfaces. You wouldn't h…

Not all contracts are enforceable. I would be surprised if the entirety of v3 is enforceable

You didn't present your argument in meme form, not sure you're going to change any minds... When a negative tendency must be negated, there are always people who pretend the negati…

It just means the authority is relevant. If you pull out Merriam Webster in an argument about the meaning of the term "racism", you are appealing to authority, which is a logical f…

Linux Action Show (LAS) is pretty conversational in its format, if the Linux world interests you. Make sure to share on social media because apparently Jupiter Broadcasting's metri…

Unless you're​ solving mathematical problems, how does math directly translate to programming (ignoring efficiency)? I agree with the sentiment that the connection is over-stated. …

Yeah, IMO it's mostly about convincing non-technical people that, while they know what they want, you know what they need and are able to provide it. If you're not doing this, your…

Logic more so than mathematics. Mathematics as a means to achieve efficiency, which is an afterthought most of the time. Most working programmers don't need more than a basic under…

Doubt this matters in practice when you have the legal and financial resources that Apple does

That's messed up. In this case, store password DB in deniable TrueCrypt (or similar) volume on an airgapped machine, secured with a memorized passphrase. That way, they can't prove…

An attack that requires installing a keylogger and communicating the results over a period of time is less robust than an attack that searches your system for passwords at rest. Ho…

Ignoring the (in)validity of your characterization of JS, web assembly will remove this reliance on JS

Well if you're willing to compromise on security by trusting a password manager / encrypted volume (plus user opsec) to store your passwords, there are other compromises one can ma…

Random pass phrases written in uv marker on the underside of your desk, in a notebook (bonus: you can burn it once memorized) scrambled and/or hidden among decoy passphrases. Make …

edit: I just realized you weren't referring to a context menu, but select/middle-click. Duh, didn't even think to try that as I don't really use that feature much. That'll do the t…

I'm using Mint Mate (Sarah), can't get a context menu on right click. I installed all of the dependencies mentioned in the readme, though maybe Mint requires something that Ubuntu …

I really, really like this so far. Interestingly, it's dependence on tmux (which I really like overall) for 'extra' terminal features presents some problems for performance and usa…

As many have pointed out, Google could handle this in their end and avoided pissing off a small but well defined group of users/developers. My guess is that they decided it wasn't …

To those speculating as to the new monitization model: NLP. Improvements in NLP will open new opportunities for data mining behavioral trends. A company like Medium is very well po…
