“Ahmed never threatened anyone, never caused harm to anyone, and never intended to. The only one who was hurt that day was Ahmed, and the damages he suffered were not because of oversight or incompetence,” said the letter to the city authorities.
I guess he's learned how to threaten people, and in a very American way.
If you were a tech manager, and you had two candidates: One that claimed to use Stackoverflow regularly, and one that claimed to avoid the site, which would you hire?
Hmmmm good question, it made me think. I don't think I would hire someone based on this criteria, though.....at least I never have.
On the other hand, if someone were unable to work without Stackoverflow, then I would mark that as a negative.
Here's a list of some common devices. A stereo receiver can end up costing you $40, but a desktop computer is more likely to be $7 a year (turned off, in standby mode).
"Collective experience" is fine, but you should understand anything you put in your own codebase. Very often "collective experience" is wrong, and you'll end up with security vulnerabilities. Here is an example.
I would make it open source (or at least unlocked). Locked hardware (and to a lesser extent, 'cloud' services) is one of the biggest threats to the worldwide computer community these days. It gives control of things to corporations, much like AOL was trying to do in the 90s. Who wants to be locked into the AOL world?
Right to Read is fiction, but corporations have been trying to make it reality for a long time. Walled gardens are bad for our freedom (and frankly don't improve security, either).
This quote from Theo de Raadt is probably relevant (for the second time this week):
“When you know exactly what the APIs are, you’ll spot the bugs very easily. In my mind, it is the same as any other job that requires diligence. Be careful. Humans learn from examples, and yet, in this software programming environment, the tremendous complexity breeds non-obvious mistakes, which we carry along with us, and copy into new chunks of code. We’ve even found in man pages where functions were mis-described, and when we found those, lots of programmers had followed the instructions incorrectly...”
If you paste code you don't understand, then you're in trouble.
I used to want Linux to get adopted. Now I prefer that it remain pretty and nice from a code point of view, even at the cost of "adoption by the majority of users."
Oh yeah, in corporate America, profits are too important, no corporation would think ahead to landing on Mars. Oh wait, except this one. Seems there's a flaw in your understanding of America.
I'm just hoping we make it to 20ghz before the party ends. Imagine all the processing you can do between frames at that speed!
Of course, faster would be better, but I don't have much hope.
If he wanted he could go live like Mr. McAffee on a tropical beach with hookers, parties, and drugs, with his own jet to go and do whatever he wants when he wants before this deal with Disney.
I'm actually surprised more people don't do that, tbh
That was roughly my experience, too. I spent many hours trying to learn to use Gimp, going through tutorials, etc. I was learning it, able to use it. Then I finally got a chance to use photoshop, and somehow everything seemed more intuitive (that's a relative term, I guess). I've basically given up on Gimp for a while.

It will still be better than the opposite, where you don't make the system good.
Most consumers, that's who.Just look at all the idiots who use Facebook for absolutely everything, as if Facebook was the whole internet.
I don't think so. Even the people I know who are mostly computer illiterate use things like wikipedia (even if they don't know what wikipedia is)
Is SpaceX actually incorporated?
Yes
Yeah, they shouldn't have chased that impossible dream. Instead focus on making the system good, and more and more users would come.
Meh, many people want locked down worlds where hackers can't infect their systems.
That doesn't work. It's security theater.
Furthermore, there are ways to achieve that security theater without keeping the hardware locked. Plenty of Android manufactures do it.
Linus has a lot of explaining to do about the sorry state of the Linux kernel
What's wrong with the Linux kernel?
Wow, I had forgotten about those. They've already worked themselves into my blind-spot where I don't even see them.

SQL was meant as an end-user interface for interacting with relational database - and for that it is absolutely perfect
That argument was lost decades ago, man. Turns out SQL wasn't that great for end-users, but programmers kind of liked it.

But that effect is limited and seems to have mostly reached its end.
Does this mean that as features get smaller, the interconnects have not?
Seriously? I have no need to defend my Linux or hacking skills. They're good.
It is interconnect.
What does that mean? I'm not familiar with this.

Learn about parameterized queries. It's not a problem.

Yahoo used (probably still uses) a modified Apache server that does a similar thing. From what I heard, it worked fine.

Inkscape, on the other hand, is quite nice.
There were probably multiple reasons. What did you hear from the Microsoft guys?
