Looking at that picture, it looks like some kind of backroom place in some store where employees gather to have lunch.

I couldn't find it either. Neither on their project pages nor that specific blog article and not even the "Search" option (where I searched for inkscape) on the gitlab.com/ site. Thanks TranquilMarmot for posting the lin

This whole naming of Skype app for linux is confusing. This announcement is just that they are retiring their older version of the app and they are asking users to switch to the newer beta version which is missing some features. Ultimately

I like all the new things coming in iOS11, including this. I recently got my first iPhone and it's on iOS10. Do users like me get to upgrade just the OS on the same handset when they release iOS11? I haven't found the answer to th

>> Microsoft has been informed, but at the time of publication has not told us when or if the problem will be patched. Doesn't a bug like this one deserve a responsible disclosure and wait for a patch to be available? The report

Have been using DuckDuckGo as primary search engine for more than a year. It's OK for many cases but the search results aren't yet there in terms of quality or relevance in many cases. Even searching for AMP shows the AMP spec pag

Or as a start, maybe a browser extension/plugin where it renders it for certain configured sites.

What's going to be interesting is if browsers can at some point render a APM version of a page natively. What I mean is render the original page on the source website as APM content. That will stop the monopoly and hijacking (or rather

A bit OT - does anyone know what tool was used to create those slides? They look very light and clean and something I might experiment with for technical presentations.

I use git and github regularly for my hobby/side projects and even for contributing patches to some open source projects hosted on github. My typically workflow is using git command line for commits and the usual things and then a git

I have been using Mercurial for some years now and before that was on Git. Github used to be one of our remote repositories. The thing that Git excels is feature/bug-fix branches, which can literally be considered throw away branches.

What a mess! Came to this thread to read about Rust and its progress and this has devolved into a useless discussion about some person's website, who seems to consider that he/she is doing all the right things and the rest of the

A few days back there was a HN thread here talking about this tweet from Tavis[1] which involved Natashenka as well. I think it's related to this very issue. [1] https://twitter.com/taviso/status/860679110728

Everytime I read about such constructs, it makes me realize, as a regular developer, how complex web application security is and how difficult it is to think about and cover your application against each and every such potential problem.

Don't know about "most" OpenJDK devs, but Red Hat is heavily invested in OpenJDK and has an entire team of employees working in it.

Is this meant as a joke? It's just a javadoc of the java.util.Future.

Highly inaccurate title. The article is about security issue in some tools used for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 >> the security holes come as a result of IPv4 to IPv6 transition tools.

This is going to be interesting. The whole reason I moved away from Ubuntu, which was my goto linux distribution, around a decade ago was because they moved to Unity. I switched to Linuxmint and have been on it ever since. Now that Ubuntu i

The article states he received those options as a contractor. Is this common? I was under the impression that only employees are entitled to stock options. If it's possible to get these options as a contractor, what really differentiat
