My wish list: - A secure email (with optional encryption/signature, with whitelists) - IM (with point to point encryption). - identity management (I would love delegating the login…

What do you mean by "The attack surface of Vim is admittedly small" ? Recently I had to access a file owned by root. The IT gave me the permission to do sudo /bin/less /etc/the_fil…

The war in Ukraine is about selling American shale gas. There are probably other reasons, like dividing Europe and Russia. The second Gulf War was motivated by Saddam Hussein's des…

Another way of presenting the same facts is that Airbus has done business with a country where corruption and bribes are the norm. The U.S. intercepted communications and used them…

IMHO the most important period for microsoft is the 90s. There is nothing about it in this article. 1990 is windows 3.0. In 2000, it was the start of Ballmer's era with the erratic…

France. For example https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Une_femme_d%27honneur

France recycle spent fuel for whole Europe. In order to reuse a part of plutonium, most of the plant consume a mix of uranium and plutonium: mox. AFAIK, France has huge piles of us…

This discussion shows that there are several types of developers who have radically opposite ways of functioning. There are those who think that a car driver can ignore all aspects…

If I understand well, when you will publish it, the first merge requests you will receive will be improvements of your build system. People will compete to provide the best fix for…
