I'm going to take this opportunity to plug my favourite open source project - the Nix package manager[1]. It can work as a universal homebrew replacement (works on MacOS, Linux, WSL and can be easily ported to most BSD variants), comes

This is a lot simpler and all you need is your phone. It's obviously not meant for pro/enthusiast photography or advanced users. It's a perfect way for a not-so-technologically-savvy parent to scan their old photos and put th

I don't know about it being a quantum system, but from a psychological standpoint our memories are definitely shaped by the way we perceive and process an event. There was an article posted on HN recently about why we don't rememb

yeah, unless the snippet also includes a definition for variable $pcid, there is no proof that the code is actually vulnerable - using such simplistic logic, the stats are likely hugely inflated but i don't agree that it should be the
