I already told you, I liked your article. I said it was great. You get a trophy, smart person. My gripe is a lack of disclaimer. There are plenty of people who will read it, then r…

Why don't we just illustrate the problem using the code from the article? https://jsfiddle.net/q59Ljeu7/ A loop is not just fewer LoC and easier, it is orders of magnitude faster t…

Going out to main memory is orders of magnitude slower than hitting cache. Even a stack overflow would be preferable to debug vs an out of memory error. At least with the stack ove…

So we start out with an attempt to build an anonymous recursive function. That's cool I suppose. But doing it in a language like javascript (or java)? It turns out that tail recurs…

I find it unsettling that Silicon Valley employees would rather see a foreign nation win the race to build autonomous killing machines. It's not just the open contempt they have fo…

>Apart from the fact that it doesn't actually exist yet. Well, sure, I'll give you that point, but it's going to happen. >it's already a badly specced phone commanding top dollar T…

Blame the judge for the laws congress passed. Blame the congress for the law the executive misused. Blame the executive for misleading the fisa judges. It's a perfect circle.

Any suggestions on models? I like the flexible one because it's lightweight and not easy to break. I'd be open to other options though if you have suggestions.

For the same reason everyone is blaming Facebook instead of Cambridge Analytica perhaps?

Having an OS and apps I can trust to not send location data solves that problem. The kill switches ensures no roving bugs, modem AT commands, and passive tower triangulation when I…

> it’s going to need to know where I am to provide me the forecast Why would you think that? I don't need to give a weather app my location. It only needs to have one or more locat…

The EFF is just astroturfing, https://thebaffler.com/salvos/all-effd-up-levine >A solution for a few outliers doesn’t really influence the big picture. There's nothing stopping any…

Stories like this, the Uber story, and the recent one about Google tracking location even when you opt out, are why I'm looking forward to Purism 5 with PureOS and kill switches.

>I want to write on these things and your response motivates me to do that. I would caution you not to. What goes on the internet stays there forever. Google will fight your right …

>keeping a charge was almost impossible Hey Jesse, pick up a solar panel. You can get waterproof two usb port that'll crank out 20-30 watts ~$50. I'd recommend an ARM laptop too. T…

Logically speaking, this is incorrect. Both could be true given a circumstance, like say, the sun goes red giant in the later case. Furthermore, "the reason" can usually be whateve…

Good grief that's a long list. I'd rather just use a browser like Brave with privacy and ad blocks enabled by default.

It's also manufactured by Google, which is equally adept in spying and probably more unworthy of trust. But more importantly, it's just a bad deal. A yubikey neo can do GPG, PIV, O…

>how can the private key flow back to China? You're assuming the key needs to flow back.

Who's really the sucker when they can just keep counting on forever increasing real-estate valuations? Even in the 2008 collapse, banks got bailouts and the market today is just as…

What self hosted email does U2F? Seems like a legit point in an article touting U2F email authentication.

I hope James Kyle seeks counseling after this meltdown. I'd hate to see another Ian Murdock. Get help.

According to The Atlantic, The Atlantic endorsed Clinton. Only the third candidate they've endorsed since 1860. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/11/the-cas... Abra…
