I wonder how he will be tackling this, basically I don't believe people can change by following a few courses on anger mgmt or what have you. You are what you are, and act accordingly. Unless there is some constant guidance and follow up for many many months or even years, you typically see no change in peoples behaviour (unless meds are involved, but Linus' case isn't of the nature that it requires meds). Ofcourse, it could be his age, being at a point in his life where 'wisdom' starts to take over and your mind is calm(er), your tolerance levels rise, etc. Then again, that's just natural and not taught.
there must be a bigger plan here, you are already on their OS, why would they care about the browser you use. the browser is not the main product of MS; it's windows, office(365) and azure. which browser you use for 365 or azure shouldn't matter one bit.
interesting to read that this exploit only worked for the old plugin api on firefox. remember that a lot of people were upset about the change in the api as a lot of plugins wouldn't work anymore unless rewritten. mozilla at the time did state that the api was a bit messy and insecure. clearly they were correct to rewrite this api, as we can see now.
And more to point, we had that in the past, we kids were inspired by astronauts and knew their names, were amazed by the space ships, satellites and the visits to other planets. Somehow this all died and nobody cares anymore, except us, geeks & nerds.
What happened? Certainly being more like a sport star isn't the answer, because they weren't sport-star-like back then. On the other hand, i still sometimes see this amazement in people in some cases, for example when the first spacex rockets landed or when we visited a comet.
why do this, instead of filtering seawater, can't imagine that it would be more expensive or more difficult to do. and it would be permanent, instead having to repeat this every 5 years.
so far for all those Apple folks claiming that the Play store is a minefield and that this problem doesn't excist on Apple devices. at least Google seems to be much quicker to react to such claims instead of waiting a month before removing said app (and then only because there was sudden negative press about it)
some of their own games are listed? i really hope they will update those so that 'cloud' saves will work. i can understand some 3rd party games won't be supported.
can't figure out this company, making games that are loved by millions of people, but they get about everything else wrong.
What is it these days, whenever there is a problem/issue it seems the most stupid solution is selected.
To this issue there are two possible things: 1. stop spying on people 2. add a fsck popup to tell people you are spying on them.
Somehow the second option got chosen. So now you anger your users twice, once by spying and second by shoving a popup in their face saying you are spying on them. good god, we have really lost all ability to reason.
did anybody still use sony services for repairing a broken ps2? except for the dvd drive, not much failed on it, by all means it is quite a basic console. all parts you could ever want are available through many different channels and it never crossed my mind to check sony's.
Unfortunately a lot of my cycling cohorts on the road are indeed jerks. I keep promising to strap a GoPro on the handlebars to create a clip of bad bicyclists.
please don't do this, yes there are bad apples, but us cyclists already get looked at in a bad way enough as it is, we don't need video's showing them few bad actors.
they aren't all bad, ofcourse, i hope you realize that. but he doesn't bash all media, no, he picks on some and not others. and the ones he likes, i don't think they are trustworthy at all.
never crossed my mind, that ridesharing could bring you in contact dangerous people like rapists and murderers, which was perhaps naive of me. however, i wonder why this is such a big problem in China, i never hear about uber rapes/murders in US/EU.
must admit that i've never used these services, so can somebody explain how they prevent these things from happening?
was interested in a Huawei device, because some have good features, are priced well and get fair updates. until i found out they do a custom interface (EMUI) on top of android. didn't want anything to do with it anymore, i've never seen any android device with a custom ui that works well.
indeed, i couldn't belive what i read. and lets not forget that a lot of IoT and small consumer devices (tv boxes, wifi routers, etc.) also mostly run linux.
well, computers aren't simple things anymore, should a single cpu do all the things it does today? compared to the old days (oh my) where it was possible for one person to know all the ins & outs of a whole machine, or where the circuit diagrams were included in the manual. impossible today.
that said, the linux kernel isn't as bad as you make it out to be. a lot of stuff is left to handle specifically in userland, i think it is even the preference of Linus to move anything out of the kernel that is not really needed. there have been several big examples of this in the last 27 years when things that were initially part of the kernel were moved out.
maybe there are other things you can do to 'decompress'. just a suggestion; boxing & karate. both good sports to get rid of some frustration and healthier then alcohol!
maybe so, but your quality of life will suffer much earlier then somebody who lives healthy. you won't be able to do some things anymore when you're 40, while the 'healthy' person probably still can. will you have done all the items on your bucket list when you're 50 or 60? i agree that there is a limit, i don't see the point in reaching 100 years of age, it will be miserable, so far nobody that age is still well enough to actually have a quality life. but i want to enjoy doing everything i love for as long as i can. (those things don't include consuming alcohol, for me)

"After all, broadband is an interstate service; Internet traffic doesn't recognize state lines."
and it doesn't recognize countires either. well, i guess we're all 'illegal'.
when you read what is excluded, it almost reads like a description of smartphones without actually saying smartphones.

how long has he quit his role? a month at most.
and they call him back in... for this.
Agree, but the plastic in the oceans is there now and not going away soon.
At this point we need both solutions!

clearly they were correct to rewrite this api, as we can see now.
should we take their word for it and believe them, there isn't really a way to find out.
when in doubt, it's always better to presume the worst.

"Indians use these services, but profits from these services go overseas."
and with the profits of those services they pay the wages of the programmers, which are most likely... in India.

I'm driving down a major thoroughfare (5 lanes, it's a small town)
5 lanes, small town? wow... you should see how many lanes people outside the US get to their major cities.
Both extreme ends are fucking nuts.
extremists are always bad, but they are also needed on both sides, if only to show us what taking things to far will lead to.
they aren't all bad, ofcourse, i hope you realize that.
