Keep reading. The piece is satire.

A killer starting place for me would be FreeBSD builds to support FreeNAS.

I am glad that it is useful for you. It bugs me though that Twitter is trying to force everyone to use their service the same way. I want to use Twitter more like an RSS reader to …

The one that kills me is "In case you missed it". I read my twitter chronologically, and removing tweets from that order in order to show them closer to the top (and therefore late…

(Diehard vim keybinding user, but editor/IDE nomad) For an expert, I'm not sure that there is anything that st3 has that cannot be achieved by the other two with a combination of p…

My biggest complaint is that albums I have added will occasionally be split, with one or two songs becoming the versions from a “best of” album, leaving two separate albums in my l…

I wish this were true, but the amount of fake news spread by trusted news networks, such as newspapers spreading Russian propaganda bots, implies that education isn't sufficient. I…

I’ve been using the wirecutter’s recommended mask for a while and it has been great. It has that same cupped shape that you describe.

I use a combination of blackout shades, Philips hue lights, and the Sleep cycle app on my phone. It starts the lights very dim and red at the beginning of a 20 minute wake up windo…

From what I understand, the only people that are charged access to the service are large organizations that want callbacks when new data that matches their users is entered. This s…

He has written about that very problem here: https://www.troyhunt.com/the-ethics-of-running-a-data-breach...

I believe it is an appeal to nature rather than a naturalistic fallacy.

I have kept that setting for the last 3 years, but with iOS 11 it has been causing frame drops and glitchy-ness with the new iPad control center and multitasking setup.

I regularly have issues with gboard where it won't accept the first 5-10 keypresses when I open it. It's especially bad within Google's own apps.

Also, you have to design for performance. There are plenty of ways to architect code that lock you out from future optimizations. I agree that small optimizations such as different…

rr wouldn't help in this case. From the docs, it "emulates a single-core machine. So, parallel programs incur the slowdown of running on a single core." The skylake bug only occurr…

I had an old 86 Honda CRX (two seater), and figured out how to fit my bass, amp, and two cellos. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it again. The main trick, though, is to recline the p…

Yes, competitive SAT solvers are very complicated. However, they are not outside of most developers' abilities. During a verification course at my University we had to build a simp…

It is important that Plex comes in two parts: the server and the player. I would absolutely recommend Plex Media Server as a backend. It is very powerful and has great support by t…

Would it be possible to upload an extension for Opera? I believe the platform is essentially identical.

An interesting solution to this problem is verification witnesses[1]. A witness is a machine readable record of a verification task. Several different programs can read the witness…

My mistake. I was trying to point out that the OBD2 protocol is not inherently unsafe. I would love to see a new standard emerge for securely interacting with the various systems a…

OBD2 is incapable of doing any of those things. It is a diagnostic interface to read out information about important systems. There is a standard set of data streams, and vendors a…

A note about nix: I've found the language to be very obtuse and the documentation out of date and fragmented. However the worst sin has been the attitude of several community membe…

Possibly, but types can encode far more than just the structure of data. Rust, for example, uses types to encode lifetime and ownership information. Haskell uses the IO monad to en…
