Nitpick: 'didactic' should be 'eidetic'.
> Knowing what the foundations are that the edifice you've constructed sits upon allows you to affect repairs when it crumbles unexpectedly. Finally get to use this bit of knowledge: 'effect' (the verb) was the word you…
Good article. Nice calm tone, interesting points. Seems like a good addition to the conversation.
In fairness, the article isn't written by Weiss.
How do we get this made into law, this unlocking of EOL hardware...
Geez, people must be playing a lot for Google Classrooms given the amount of anger on that thread.
Does this suggest that sending messages via Signal on a stock Pixel Android phone for example, is fairly straightforward for the police to intercept? Why are people paying so much for 'security' when our everyday…
"reeks" was the word you wanted, I think
That's how I pronounce it in my head, too, but I still know what it means. All is well here.
This strikes me as an excellent point, how software patents tend to lack any actual solution, unlike traditional patents - I hadn't considered that before.
Yep, I was reading the examples thinking "god, I'd really hate someone talking to me like that". It feels very "corporate training speak" or something, very smarmy and false.
'In practice' is correct, no?
Win11 requiring TPM2.0 feels like it's edging ever closer to such an age... Can the latest iPhones boot unsigned OSs yet? I'm guessing the jailbreakers aren't _that_ fast.
Surely the successor should be SQLite. Tabular data like CSV, easy to view on different mediums, free and open source, single file databases. It has to be this, right?
Oopsie. This strikes me as perhaps one of the growing pains of not-quite-self-driving: common sense would dictate that manual control would be taken by the driver when approaching an unusual situation like a roadside…
Argh, surely if we all agree that paying for journalism is a good thing, we should do what we normally do for such things - take it from taxes?
"An online virtual reality surgery training simulator." Sounds like great fun if it's open to the public :D
This was a great read, and very impressive. I hope to one day be as comfortable with these kind of tools to just be able to say "oh let's have a quick look with the decompiler in a VM". The author just exudes competence.
Please, can we just be allowed to control what happens on the hardware we buy? Is that so great a demand?
This scares the heck out of me too. It just seems like such an obvious next step. "Oh you run linux? Do you not trust the government, or are you trying to hide something?"
If I'm not mistaken the power-input is via USB-C: does that imply the existence of a USB-C controller already?
Outstanding. What a clever, cheeky fellow. Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/327/
Now _that_ is pretty funny. I wonder what the company name is. Even the PDF of the incorporation certificate doesn't show the name.
> We only really care about the end result of a Pull Request (in the context of Github) Hmm, I'm not sure that's true. Imagine if this excellent commit got squashed, there'd be something really lost:…
Anecdotally, I can certainly relate strongly to the quotes you pointed out.
