I personally really like the way wasm modules work. The modules all have a particular interface so you know exactly what they can do to the outside world, it's very clean.

The truth is very often offensive and being upset by it is the first step in solving the underlying problem. All of us know exactly what the article means by that phrase and everyone (especially the Chinese) would probably be happier if t

I've switched to Yandex over this (using it as a home page since it looks like the search extension was removed) and am looking at Alexandria. One thing I've noticed is that Yandex video search is actually pretty good.

The seller is fine. I don't trust the payment processor to behave.

Z might be bigger, but are the CS class sizes larger? I went to a fairly large university but it had a small CS department and most classes had <25 students which meant you got a lot of attention from your professors. Also keep in mind t

I use crypto to pay for things even though it's more expensive. I just like having the option to not need to trust anyone.

The incentives of the two organizations are aligned. It makes sense and is very unfortunate that they capitulate so easily. It's yet another example of why you shouldn't rely on anything from Google.

Right. Inflation makes your rent go up which for most working people is already significantly higher than their taxes.

They're not the reason for most of the homicides for example. Minorities can, in fact, cause a majority of certain problems.

Phoning home at all is absolutely unacceptable.

I don't know why we're sending equipment there. It will only prolong and potentially escalate the war, killing more people (Ukrainians in particular.)

That's not unique to Europe though.

The West has more than paid back the people of those nations with the amount we've given them via social programs (immigrants and the races that were formerly slaves are the largest consumers of these by quite a margin) and foreign aid

Maybe now people will understand why local user accounts are important... who am I kidding things are just going to keep getting worse.

I still don't understand what's wrong with writing eg spec files and letting yum/rpm manage the packages. That's what we do where I work.

You know full well that's not what people are upset about CRT for. We're told from every direction (pastors, educators, advertisments, people like you) that White people are the worst thing to happen to the earth and they're

I think car usage is likely to go up unless the crime in cities is dealt with. For that to happen we have to stop calling constructive peace keeping work "racist" though and that seems unlikely.

I use it to pay for DNS and my phone bill, it works very well for periodic payments especially for experimental digital products (I get VOIP service from a Canadian startup that got kicked off paypal.) I really like the idea of having an

I used to do embedded firmware, we actually had micro sdcard labels. The other thing I did was keep mine on a sticky note and label the space around them.

If they keep pushing this crap it's going to make people bigoted. Sometimes I wonder if that's their goal.

Distro devs don't maintain drivers, kernel devs do that. That's part of why embedded firmware authors like Linux: you get a ton of drivers for free with minimal effort.

The truth is that normal people like abusive software. Using software that gives them freedom also gives them the responsibility to understand the behavior of the machine which is something they do not want. No amount of evangelism or pos
