I disagree. I really think doing an intentionally crappy job is acceptable. Not even pretend. I think it is okay to really half-arse it. Or break it. Or be lazy. Or whatever. Except maybe intentionally harm someone.
No. Just no. They may do so to the worst of their abilities. Thats their prerogative. The only limit might be publishing something that is actively intended to do harm. But I can't imagine a plausible example of that...
GDPR binds an operator of a service. The developer can do as he likes.
Just as you shouldn't eat everything you just picked up from the sidewalk, you shouldn't just use any code thats available out there. check, check and check again...
Security isn't a special license for being nasty. Criticism is fine, even with some urgency due to security being important. But software done for free by volunteers carries no obligation of a legal or even a moral…
Defense would actually be quite easy. Just undesirable. There are working antisat weapons in the major powers' arsenals. However, they would produce nasty debris clouds. And then there is also the vulnerability of the…
Launch capacity scaling isn't only possible through useless comsats. And astronomy is still an extremely important component for becoming space-faring. No use in going somewhere blindly when you can have a look first.…
Theoretically yes, through interferometry. But that is really difficult when there is relative motion within the constellation such as with starlink.
one gets time signals from photomultipliers, but those are too bulky for traditional pixel sensors. And something as bright as a satellite flare might fry them at an unexpected moment. They are usually built and tuned…
Well then, we should also have Elon pay rent for use of space...
Depending on the type of measureme t taken, a dark transient is also harmful. However, by far not as bad as a bright transient.
It will kill astronomy pretty good. The key point is usable observation time. Our current handful of satellite telescopes provide 24h of time a day. Each terrestrial telescope provides maybe 8h. However, there are a…
Modern astronomy works at the edges of whats possible, a single frame might take hours. Needing multiple frames would mean multiple days per observation. It would mean no longer seeing faint and distant objects,…
Cherenkov telescopes for neutrinos do look down for reasons of schielding. Neutrinos can pass the earth, other particles not so much. But those are a special case, air cherenkov telescopes are looking for "less weird"…
Gravity is an issue for mirror production. But it is far less of an issue than tension and deformation during the months- to years-long cooling of the substrate. The temperature and environment control to do that is…
There is CSS media query for exactly your use-case. No need for sniffing, round-trips or any server-side activity at all.
Agreed, for things like autoplay. But dual-use features like feature detection that also enables fingerprinting cannot be replaced by randomized misinformation because that would really randomly break legitimate stuff.…
Also, "please upgrade, then call back" is always the first point on any support call checklist.
Yes, but unfortunately using the user agent for only non-stupid reasons is a postcondition for the hell freezing over.
If you need a portable replacement, there is Perl. Available since the last century. If you don't care about obscure Unixes, there is also Python and a whole bunch of other scripting languages on more modern systems.
Depends. But usually being first author counts for more in most fields. However, e.g. in particle physics papers with hundreds of authors are common, alphabetically sorted. Sucks to be Z. Zymmer, nice to be A. Aaronson.…
Yes. RAIDz (without the "1") was the original RAID5-equivalent, RAIDz2 is equivalent to RAID6. However since nobody really knows what the hell z1 and z2 is and z1 is easy to mix up with RAID1 for nonZFS people, calling…
And after donating credentials, the donor and IT are better off just claiming the password was "phished" (winkwink) when caught.
Why? What is bad about playing around with leftover hardware?
I think the optimal number of RAIDz5 disks is 3, if you just want performance. But this wastes lots of space of course. Also, the number of SAS/SATA-channels per controller and the topology of expanders is important.…
