I think it is not an exaggeration to say that without Wireshark, so much of modern computing would never have been developed and we would be stuck in the past. The amount of visibility it gives is immense. I have used it for years, decades

Half the time I read the stories they're just a thinly disguised ad for some flavor the day SaaS, so at least in this instance the hook was somewhat useful. Now if everyone uses this to shill their SaaS, then maybe not.

People are getting fired and are having to rely on gig work to live. It's a reporting gimmick by both administrations to convince us the economy is doing better when it hasn't.

Wow I never knew I "can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem". This is why people use Obsidian.

It may not be illegal for someone to have close ties with the Chinese, but we should also not let them control one of the most important companies for the US military and industrial advantage over our rivals.

Alloca is a fundmentally insecure way of doing allocations. Languages that promote alloca will find themselves stuck in a morass of security messes and buffer overflows. If Zig were to adopt alloca, it would make the catastrophic mistake th

I used to work at a game company fresh out of college, and this is simply untrue. The company made roughly 40% of sales from cheater whales (one can imagine how much the chest makers made), and there were guidelines on repeated bans where w

I am not talking about drones like DJI quadcopters with grenades duct taped to them or even large fixed wing aircraft, I am talking about small personal humanoid drones. Civilization is going through a birth rate collapse. The labor shortag

The rules of traditional warfare will still exist, they will just be fought by advanced hyper intelligent AIs instead of humans. Hunter Miller humanoids like Optimus and drones like Anduril will replace humans in war. War will be the same,

XDG_BIN_HOME is crucial, without it, not supporting the spec seems like the right call. Better to deal with the status quo until updates happen than to get stuck in bikeshed hell.

Because the data is going to a foreign country instead of staying in America, where it's subject to American over site (see Schrems II in the EU).

We already have that though, it's called repossession. This feature just removes the human barrier and makes it vulnerable to hacking.

Rust is definitely the worst language for this, writing curl in C++ would unlock memory and type safety while not throwing 30 years of language design out the window.

Do you have any evidence for this? As an American who's been to many doctors, this just seems wrong.

I mean restarting hardware once a day isn't going to hurt the hardware (indeed its the norm in some places to shut down many racks after business hours), and software will probably only see less bugs.

Yup, this is a great win for free software as proprietary modules have less leeway to call GPL functions.

All but like two of those are important at all for advancing the FSF's missions. They would also completely break backwards compatibility. Half of those aren't even under the control of the FSF.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a nation-state. I wish I was though.

You have it the wrong way around. Tagging the release as security allows nation-state level attackers with large budgets to investigate the fixes, while normal people have to wait to patches. This gives nation-state level attackers with lar

I'd love a mode that adds some letters on the tiles, as I'm colorblind and have difficulty differentiating colors.

And that's where strength in numbers and coordination comes in, and why the West had to unite behind sanctions to get any one nation to apply them.

I see, checked those out in the past and I'll take another look. Question was more regarding hardware though, but it's ok if you can't answer.

I bought a Taranis QX7 a while ago, and I'm looking to get back into the hobby. I built my own drone last time out of random parts, but it's been several years since then. I'm looking to mess around to autonomous planning and
