I didn't know of the existence of SNI and thought that all traffic through TLS was encrypted. SNI sounds like a terrible idea: it should be obvious that leaking domain names will b…

Alone this looks like a reasonable use of auto. In a real codebase, there may be two (or twenty) different connection-like things, multiple of which may be reasonably to call in th…

> This isn’t Gunnar’s fault. The problem was whomever stored ordered data in a hash file. Yes. Even if it were, I don't think it needs to be mentioned in the commit message. Gunnar…

From my armchair I'll add that throwing away the KSP1 engine and replacing it with, based upon the number of bugs, a new implementation of the same basic idea seems like a terrible…

> blatant disregard of traffic laws by the many cyclists Enforcement of traffic law for cyclists would be good, but blatant disregard of traffic laws (e.g. running yellow/red light…

If wealthy companies should pay French pensions, simply because they can, do you think that wealthy westerners should pay for, say, pensions or services in Africa? Raising taxes on…

Sad to see the early reviews being so poor and the game being in a such an incomplete state. From a software development perspective it would be very interesting to see inside and …

If her focus is on playing tennis, then interviews etc. are just a distraction. She may be contractually obligated to partake in interviews, but does she have another option if she…

I too, as a regular cyclist, would like to see more cyclists fined when they run red lights, cycle on footpaths, cycle in the wrong direction etc., but enforcement is also lacking …

> People who run Arch want this to happen. I've used Arch for the last six+ months and I don't want this to happen. I switched as I couldn't get VFIO to work with Debian (presumabl…

The amount of plastic waste around some of these toys is shocking: https://youtu.be/CZpG032TR5A . It reminds me of the packaging around AMD Threadripper and Intel 9900k packaging -…

The browser can't implement xeyes (the cursor position outside a window is surely not visible?), so it will never be a serious replacement for X11.

The car analogy would be: He saw a car He tried the doors until he found one that was open He climbed in and searched everywhere until he found personal information about other use…

Excellent article. I especially like "We have to get rid of this notion that the past is a provider of anecdotes and the present is a provider of knowledge". This way of thinking i…

They have attempted to weasel out of even saying that: "the previous Q2 estimate is now confirmed for Q3 product shipping" as if to say that the product, which isn't ready yet, has…

I don't have any problem with this. It highlights a lack of user education, if they expect their typed input to a website to be private. It reminds me of the "talk" (and ytalk, nta…

This is Germany: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.5951409,8.7342041,743343m/da... Disable labels and look at the beige patches on right center (south of Berlin). The vast majority s…

It seems they could have handled the doubts of Juan Moreno better. That is an institutional problem that can be improved upon. Re. Class Relotius: It would be meaningless if der Sp…

My interpretation is that the Spiegel chiefs want to make an example out of Relotius, to send a message to other journalists, that they must stick to the facts, or they will suffer…

Google One ⇒ One ⇒ One Two ⇒ Two?

Longevity is, supposedly, also dependant on current, and hence voltage. Unfortunately processor reviews don't consider the lifetime of the product, as that is probably only known t…

> Sorry, where does he say this He didn't state that. That's my interpertation of his well written and very reasonable (at face value) statement. His central messages are "the doct…
