In a sane country you are innocent until proven guilty. That fact you exist as a human being is all the evidence you need to prove you are innocent. If you have to "prove you are i…

patents are government granted monopolies on algorithms. "Algorithm" defined as "a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations" It's just series of steps, a recipe…

I estimate about 75% chance it's a configuration problem on his end. The "I hate Pulse Audio and especially Lennart" crowd tends to want to either go back to "Alsa" or tried at som…

WSL2 is better. I'll take correctness over a slight loss in performance. Also Linux is very fast. So it's not like there is a huge performance loss in most cases, I am guessing.

It is an improvement. Having documentation include with source code means that they can updated together and is less likely to be out of date. Provided, of course, they don't use t…

Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of creating the state in the first place. The entire point is being able to tell people what to do for your own profit. It's a lot easier if you …

> Waah the big bad EU forced companies to disclose how they are using my data! The people that should be mocked are the EU bureaucrats that thought this was a good idea and the peo…

I donno. Seems like white blood cells are kinda important. We have a huge number of interactions with bacteria and viruses and all sorts of microorganisms. Hundreds? Thousands time…

If you are buying a Cisco router you are buying a closed source product. Why would you expect them to open source anything when you are happy to give them money for closed source f…

Advertising is a type of propaganda. One of a myriad of different forms of propaganda. One leads to the other easily. For example taking advertising money for television commercial…

Trying to point out single factor is a exercise in stupidity. Time matters, places matter, culture matters, food, existing technology, technological connections with other regions,…

It's normal in any open source project to keep security mailing lists and things of that nature private. And for good reasons. One of the reasons is they are dealing with security …

Sounds more like these companies are using bounty programs to get researchers to sign NDAs so that they can control public perception of their products. Effectively paying people (…

> Does the Ryzen system come with a full aluminum enclosure? If you really want one you can get one. But if you are buying a laptop on the basis of how shiny it is does the CPU per…

It's a Linux website. They are not interested in the performance of the CPU with Windows or Mac OS. As far as the mismatched CPU and whatnot... These are the same sort of CPUs that…

I don't know how much it matters, either. Nor why I should care that much. Pine64 wants to ship working products. It can't do that if it wants to support 30 different Linux distrib…

This post is stupid beyond all measure. One of the principal reasons Manhattan rent is so ridiculous is because of state intervention. More intervention, the worse it is going to g…

The OP is right. If you are off-grid and adapt everything to using solar and battery then you can get "free operating cost" with enormous costs and loss of reliability. However if …

"Government" is a metaphysical concept. What people call "The Government", in this case, is the Municipal Corporation of Boston. This corporation profits from a monopoly control ov…

Visualizations inline in text documents have been a staple of any written media, since... the beginning?

The price is set by the market, not by the manufacturer. This means that they won't really know the price until they find somebody willing to buy it. Before that it is just guesswo…

Being boring is one of Golang's strongest suits. There just isn't a whole lot you need to learn compared to most languages.
