Jesus, my guy. I “blame” commenters like yourself on HN for my exceptionally pessimistic and skeptical outlook on life and systems (and society)... but goddamn you have a point. (PS: sorry about using “Jesus” and “guy” - it’s meant purely a

I never thought of "The UNIX Programming Environment" and "The C Programming Language" as companion books. Thanks for opening my eyes to that.

The US Govt. cannot keep information about their own SPIES sent to FOREIGN SOIL safe. We’re supposed to trust them with encryption skeleton-keys that can open any phone or web traffic in the world and trust them to keep it safe. Do they k

I agree with most of what you're saying, but I can't swallow that "iOS is the Privacy OS" UNTIL they make it way easier to control "Background App Refresh" and also turn it off by default. I've always be
