I think the ecosystem isn't a zero sum game (not profits, but generally the advancement of software). Apple doing well helps other people do well. Do you really think that if Apple…

Agreed (on all that).

There'd probably be a whole mess of 0-days that would come out of it which would impact a lot of people as Apple might not be able to patch fast enough. Though I meant the horrible…

Except that would be absolutely horrible for everyone, so maybe we should hope that doesn't happen.

I know, right? I actually got excited for a second thinking he'd name drop that.

Except they're two different articles posted by two different people. This seems like an amusing coincidence.

Thanks. There's nothing there because setting up SecureDrop is a pain in the ass. These (among others) are errors I hit while trying to get it running: https://github.com/freedomof…

I do this in my bash scripts, if anyone wants to see how. https://github.com/ehartsuyker/node-deb/blob/ede596b2c8a07f1...

In the former, typing '2012.01.01' implicitly creates a date object (probably), and '1m1d' implicitly creates some sort of duration object (probably) and uses an operator to combin…

How is "1m" more obvious that "plusMonths(1)"? I mean really, the latter is basically and English phrase. I know it's cool to shit all over OOP and Java these days, but if Haskell/…

The Java is clean because it's perfectly understandable. I don't have to think about "+ 1m" meaning month, minute, or milli-. Verbose, yes, but the meaning is 100% unambiguous whic…

I don't want an open marketplace. I want somewhere I can conveniently find most things I need from my laptop for a reasonable price. If Amazon came alone with insane, draconian pol…

Or you could use Slick[0] for free. [0]: http://slick.typesafe.com/

Can I shamelessly plug[0] and say maybe do all this and stick it in a Debian package if you're running Debian, or like most of the cloud world, Ubuntu. [0] https://github.com/ehart…

I think the best "defensive" piece of advice you left out that everyone abuses is never pipe `find` results to `xargs.` One should always do `find ... -print0` to a read-while loop…

I have maybe five ideas for decent projects, and I work on two. Why should I bother starting with a huge list and whittling it down?

It's a reference to the Celine Dion song from the movie Titanic.
