The author's whole schtick is purposefully rage-baiting Rust devs, so really not that shocking that he downplays the compile-time trade-off

I mean... Yeah, it's a curated set of dotfiles that one guy spent a while tuning to his liking. I don't use it, but I figure it's just a matter of most people being too lazy to polish up their own equivalent, so they'll

The problem is there are many middleboxes that monitor port 443 and will drop any traffic that they can't decode as TLS (which in this case means TLS 1.2 or below). The choice was between masking traffic as an earlier version of TLS or

I don't know, I don't think it's really a huge waste of time considering I just read the entire comment thread in a handful of minutes. And beyond that, failing to comply with RFC requirements is the bug here -- a workaround

Worth mentioning this isn't a port of the entire system, more a reimplementation that lacks MANY features of the real System 7

I'm still bitter that they never refunded me for my canceled pre-order, despite promising to at the time. It's been years and I never got any money back (or a phone, for that matter). I consider Purism to be an untrustworthy busin

I've actually heard people argue against having lights on signage for this exact reason: people shouldn't be reliant on lights that may or may not work to modulate their behavior when driving. They had been referring mainly to ped

Where are you seeing devices without Bootguard fused? I'd be very curious to get my hands on some of those...

Headline is a little misleading imo -- the vulnerability isn't in Notepad++ itself as much as its installer. Current users, I imagine, don't have anything to worry about.

Buy your own DOCSIS modem, opt out of renting theirs. It'll pay for itself after a few billing cycles (the modem rental fee is $15 per month)

I think it's fair to say the majority of people don't really care about any of those things as much as having a system that just works -- which was part of their whole argument regarding why package maintainers love it so much and

Pretty sure it's entirely possible to find out what someone has said in a major publication about a major figure, actually.

What is with people treating LLMs like a search engine? All of this could have been avoided by just using Google.

There's something to be said for groups like this one and Standard eBooks (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) doing some work to clean up and beautify public domain books like the ones in Project Gutenberg. Even Standard eBooks mentio

There are much more long-lived distros still around as well... But really, I meant more the danger of having the distro die without any clear plan for transition. In Funtoo's case it was less a matter of how long it would be around as

This sort of situation is why I've been hesitant to try smaller Linux distros in the past, especially for daily drivers or any sort of long term use. The allure of innovative features and modernity tends to be weighed against the long

Part of it is the explicitness mandated by the language (i.e. when dealing with Optionals or Results, you have to deal with both cases or explicitly state which you expect as an invariant). There's also curious (imo) choices on the par
