This by itself just looks to me like someone getting rid of the old CVS comments that are messing up the headers. Maybe the problem is that younger people don’t recognize what a cvs header is?

Pretty much anyone coding in another language. Coders do sometimes buy fonts if they are into fonts and nice terminals.

If you could remember to include Ancient Greek (pre 1980) accent combinations that would be awesome. It’s not that many extra accents. (Many Greek fonts today don’t draw the accents and breathings that are used in older texts)

I suspect it is probably right that they would find it more profitable to sell 100 copies for $10 than 1 copy for $1000. But I do wonder, it could be that the occasional $10,000 sale to a large company pays more in the long run for less has

Google websites are my least favorite to have to interact with by a long shot. I often struggle to find where they have hidden the basic common things I need to do. It’s like the people who design their sites are not the people that use the

‘rm —rf’ should have default behavior to prompt “are you sure” when deleting top level folders. People are literally talking about secret video files saving their files from being accidentally destroyed. How in 2025 do we not have these ty

You are acting like the term open source has a clearer and more agreed upon meaning than it did back then. Perhaps the idea of a more standard definition has grown, but people still use it confusingly today.

Unicode obsfucation tricks trigger modern content filters faster than you can blink. Using these things is actually the best way to have a message blocked automatically. This is especially true when you mix Unicode characters that don’t nor

We are talking about a programable device used as a programable device by hobbyists and device manufacturers to make things that you need to program to do something. It’s no different to trying to claim a PC has a security problem because y

Are you ok? (Your tone comes off as “rephrasing the original intent of the post as something slightly different in order to have something to whine about.” It’s just a bit of fun to brighten our morning, not a proposal to interfere with you

Yes. There is no ability to know one way or the other if Google, and similar services retain a secondary way to access decryption key. In light of this the only option is to _assume_ they have the capability. Given the carefully crafted way

What makes you think WhatsApp backups don’t have a secondary way to unlock the encryption key? Wouldn’t it be more logical to assume the encryption key for whatsapp backups can also be unlocked by an alternate “password” If the US is willin

E2E encryption is not the same as MITM. You’re not adding anything useful to the conversation. E2E encryption is not vulnerable to MITM. E2E encryption is vulnerable only to how many keys there are and who has access to them.

It is possible to set up end to end encryption where two different keys unlock your data. Your key, and a government key. I assume google does this. 1. encrypt data with special key 2. encrypt special key with users key, and 3. encrypt spec

In google play the purchaser information is mostly privatized and hidden from the developer. I assume Amazon is the same. The only way a developer would know a person is an existing user is if they have a user sign up process inside the app

The only reason it hasn’t had a name change is oracle hasn’t tried to protect the name. There needs to be a campaign to change the name.

I assume eventually there will be an upsell product that allows you to watch with a 3D/VR courtside view. I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t exist already. I think Apple would sell a few more headsets if they made this happen.

How do you know your app is legal to distribute in each country you are distributing in? Anything with the word “medical” in it can be a potential legal mess due to well intentioned but ultimately difficult to manage issues. If you can’t an

Avoiding cheap surveillance technologies seems like a big deal. Although I assume once the government works out what you can do with it, it’ll become illegal pretty quickly. I assume this research will attract DOD grant funding pretty quic

Yes, but there is no terminal at the end of this runway, so it’s irrelevant. The question is, wouldn’t it be safer to design airports to avoid having large concrete structures at the end of a runway in case there is a landing problem.

Your suggestion is absurd and impractical. You’re not contributing anything useful. Of course accidents happen. Knowing accidents happen, People are asking why a large solid concrete structure is at the end of the runway. Especially given

My bet is, once the car companies fully understand the lifetime value of the data, there will be an option to opt out by paying that monetary value up front. My guess is it’ll be an expensive “executive” model used mostly by governments and

In Australia they ask to see your ID but you can say you don’t have it on you. I think they mostly just ask for ID so it’s easier to look up your name with the correct spelling.

I am not sure where the disconnect is. Having a database that can provide a permanent unalterable record of all transactions, even when running over a distributed network, seems reasonably important to me. Are you saying it’s just as good t

No one said that. The point is it’d be hard to loose data with Scylla as long as your only ever appending to the physical tables. I don’t know if MongoDB has this same attribute.

I wonder if use of MongoDB creates a legal liability. I’m not up to date on the architecture of MongoDB but I am under the impression that it couldn’t be reliably used for this kind of thing? (The problem here is not nosql, I believe you ca

You can make a language simpler but old books still exist. I guess if we burn all old books and disallow a means to print these old books again, people would be happy?
