No? I don't know where you got that from.

You should be implementing a borrow checker or something like it. It's irresponsible not to do that. I'm serious about this. We know how to totally stop most use-after-free bugs du…

>You just need ANY other activity in order to get lost in the crowd And that's irrelevant because these tools are explicitly built for criminals to use them. I'm actually quoting w…

If there is another forum I would hope similar comments are also downvoted or deleted there because it's completely unrelated to the discussion, and you're also taking the opportun…

Even if you aren't a criminal, the fact is that privacy tools of this nature are explicitly relying on having enough volume of criminals and other illicit users to provide cover fo…

That comment is definitely out of line and trolling, but the author's attitude towards safety and security is still incredibly bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm dismayed to s…

>they would be laughed out. No they wouldn't because almost all of those properties are actually desirable, and the only real achievement of ENS is to approximate all of that. Reme…

There's no name calling, "stupid" is the exact word you used. I'm stupider than a lawyer when it comes to all the details of contract law, because I didn't study it as much as they…

>Pot, meet kettle. No, this is incredibly wrong. The source here is me. You can choose to not believe me, but it's a source. I'm sorry but I just don't illegally carry a tape recor…

>If I as a developer want to license my code a certain way (and enforce that license in a certain way) what authority do these lawyers have to tell me I'm "stupid". Are you willing…

It's the same kind of unsourced low-information content focused on personal grievances that you would find in an angry twitter or 4chan comment. It's just intellectually lazy and b…

From the lawyers I've spoken to about this, Linus's view on the GPL and the chosen enforcement strategy has long been known to be nonsense. But nothing will change as long as the k…

You can just look up the Linux Foundation's tax statements, they're publicly available. Bryan Lunduke's recent writings are a bad source, they consist almost entirely of reactionar…

Use cmake-gui and it lists all the options for you. Or for the manual method, search in the project's cmake sources for lines starting with "option(".

I'm sorry but absolutely none of those applications need blockchains or even benefit from them at all. If you want to discuss this I could go into extreme detail why that's the cas…

>5. automake documentation discourages developers from globbing source files in source directories, and insists they list them individually. It's silly and just results in needless…

>take personal offense to me even daring to suggest that blockchain technology isn't completely useless Because it is actually useless. I've seen tons of people trying to explain t…

It doesn't really make sense to put your confidence in something questionable because something else happens to be bad. I get that you probably have a better explanation but this c…

>Completely disregarding any advances in cryptography or consensus Because those advances exist in spite of blockchains. I wish blockchains were a useful technology, but they actua…

In some aspects it does, for example a lot of Gnome apps have very minimal designs. That's ok for individual apps. The problem is, you can't really apply that to a chat tool that n…

>I think IRC's lack of features is actually an advantage and not a disadvantage. It's an advantage in the sense that if you want those features, you get to implement them yourself …

In this comment, it appears you took the word "expert" and defined it to mean "people who aren't actually experts" and then used that to dismiss them. I hope you can understand thi…

No, it's not even close to that. Analogies aren't that good of a tool to use here.

>No, it isn't. Pulseaudio is based on a push model, which is completely broken. These two statements are both very wrong. The push model is absolutely not broken, it's actually bet…
