Fasebook··on What Are the Dangers of Using an Untrusted USB Drive?
USB3 is an entire different can of worms. Plug one into Windows today to see all the juicy details.
Fasebook··on How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To
What exactly are you building that building it isn't already its own reward? Oh, really? I see...
Fasebook··on "We are getting 100 new registrations every second."
What is telegram and can I run my own copper?
Fasebook··on FreeBSD 10.0 on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite
Anyone know anything about the base-band chip and it's OS?
Fasebook··on About the security content of iOS 7.0.6
lol oops
Fasebook··on Can We Avoid a Surveillance State Dystopia?
well, we can use the information to play the market and more solidify the power we already have until the world is our slave.
Fasebook··on Wanted: Awesome HTML5 app ports for Firefox OS and the Open Web
I thought HTML5 was renamed to just "HTML" you know, to be more clear and open like FireFox dropping version numbers.
Fasebook··on Steve Jobs threatened Palm’s CEO, court documents reveal
So Apple believes that they have eternal rights to their employees once they paid for their time once... Not a good sign for their customers.
Fasebook··on Steve Jobs threatened Palm’s CEO, court documents reveal
It's clear in my eyes that Palm did not fail due to market forces. They had the best smart phone at the time, and I purchased one and enjoyed it immensely.

I now have an iPhone and I hate it but I have to tolerate it. Take my account for what it's worth, but PalmOS was clearly superior from a productivity standpoint. This is cemented in my mind further by the integration of Palm or Palm-like features into iOS since iOS7.

If these threats had any basis, then Palm would be able to sue Apple since now Apple feels entitled to rip off Palm's design decisions, sadly, 'that train has sailed', but now we're left with an uberpowerful Apple who only answers to God.

Fasebook··on Are we shooting ourselves in the foot with stack overflows?
tl;dr: make the stack bigger! (then is it really a stack overflow?, oh by the way, this won't work in most systems due to virtualized stacks on top of the physical memory making concepts such as order of memory meaningless... but nevermind that)

The obvious solution to stack overflows is to make the stack bigger. The obvious problem with this solution is that it just kicks the can down the road.

Fasebook··on Facebook data scientists: A series of blog posts on love
What's the ticker for Love?
Fasebook··on Google acquires Israeli security startup SlickLogin
I already don't care. Amazing!
Fasebook··on Sesame Street Fighter - A Typing Fighting Game
I think you have a hit here..
Fasebook··on Password prompts are annoying
The lock on my front door is annoying.
Fasebook··on You Don't Want to Think Like a Programmer
I would love to agree with this, and I do in principle, but the reality of IT technology today means we can't make such assumptions in our abstractions without knowing the implementation details to extreme degrees.
Fasebook··on We made something. We use it. We love it. Apple rejected it
I'm not surprised since this is pretty similar to what all communication hubs are trying to do (for obvious marketing reasons). You are serious competition and they have the power to sweep you under a rug.
Fasebook··on Do you trust the Bitcoin Foundation?
Considering that their entire goal is to supplant all currency, No. But I don't really trust any forms of control.
Fasebook··on The Facebook Comment That Ruined a Life
Because I'm scared.
Fasebook··on Comcast Acquiring Time Warner Cable In All Stock Deal Worth $45.2 Billion
I think collusion might be more likely than you think.
Fasebook··on Why systemd is winning the init wars and other things aren't
No thanks.
Fasebook··on Technical Debt is Not a Bad Thing
A lot of excuses project managers use to ignore technical debt is looking at the opportunity cost of building a new service vs refining an old service and saying "fuck it" and then conceptualizing their choice after the fact as a wise economic decision, then coming back to the problem after it becomes serious, then hiring someone fresh out of college to "fix it" because that's way cheaper then having the original engineer or a professional deal with a tiny fraction of exceptions the right way.

Then they move on to a new job once the debt becomes untenable. This works quite well (as an "economic" strategy) for industries of all types. I bet you can think of a few.

Fasebook··on Technical Debt is Not a Bad Thing
correct, technical debt is a very bad thing.
Fasebook··on Swedish developer discovers security hole in iPhone
No, this appears to be part of Apple's proprietary messaging protocol, apsd.
Fasebook··on The anonymity I know
I think there is no free speech on HN, due to the misrepresentation present in the UI.
Fasebook··on The anonymity I know
Don't tell that to Google, or the 10 million sites that use its libraries.
Fasebook··on How does Facebook disable Developer Tools?
So you're fine with Google allowing coders to change the function of the dev console? Interesting...
Fasebook··on Hemingway makes your writing bold and clear
Yes, I would $20+ dollars for a desktop version, that didn't suck at what this is supposed to be doing.
Fasebook··on How does Facebook disable Developer Tools?
This is a pretty good reason to never trust Chrome again.
Fasebook··on StackMob is shutting down
I get all my Baas needs from local retail.
Fasebook··on Why systemd is winning the init wars and other things aren't
"init wars" what a joke. the fact that systemd has "declared war" on other init implementations is all the information I need.
