When are we getting lithium graphite batteries which are supposed to be not dense and a lot safer than LiPo? I mean, to the point you can buy one for toys, drones, cell, etc

Seems like graphene batteries are just around the corner and safer than lipo, with a few time the charge, that'll be interesting to see!

They just got into FPV and I really hope they fail with their lock-in DRM, for the sake of keeping the maker spirit and FOSS innovation around in that field...

I can't wait...

As someone with a domain at home and a working email server, I'm still stuck with Gmail as I don't have time to make sure my setup is resilient enough to base my daily emails on...

It's a sad world and we're a very geeky crowd.

Government can derail things as much as they can fix things. That's why we should have better anti monopoly laws to keep the market free, as in equal chances given equal efforts & quality.

very simply, it never makes sense...

two hours of chip decaping and circuit reversing and firmware dumping! :P

The internet apolitical? When what where... Before DNS?

ESNI is sadly not in the final standard, only in a seperate RFC. Hopefully it'll be ready soon...

And how anonymous is that process?

It'd be a "great" way to rat out those who support people deemed unfit...

Is there a GDPR checklist of technical things to do to prevent this from happening to cash-strapped endeavours?

Upgrading from 16.04, the experience is quite awkward. CLI wise, I love Ubuntu and 18.04 is just a refined version of a very functional desktop/server distribution.

GUI wise though, it seems to have changed many defaults, a lot of which will require extensions or obscure gsettings/dconf commands. But mulitple monitor really felt like a mess compared to unity. Workspace switches only the laptop screen, no grid layout, etc. And though I got used to putting a window on a side for it to maximise or take half the screen, with Gnome3 it takes the other window into account, so good luck trying to overlap use a side to see a chat with moving that window by hand.

I kinda feel cinnamon gets a lot of thing more right, but Mint is a bit of a mess to maintain and trust...

So how does one delete his previous history before he was made aware of this change?!

in other news, I guess this means shadow IT is back in style! :P

More generally, society's achievement currently rely on a workforce that gets more and more specialized.

We are bound to fragment every sector into sub-niche where specialists in functions, general programming and infrastructure resources cooperate on their boundaries without being able to quite understand what the others are doing.

If a little civil disobedience is what it takes to save public access to human knowledge, than so be it...

For more than a decade Tim Berners-Lee used Web 3.0 to mean the semantic Web, structured around linked open data, RDF, etc.

The XPS13 9350 is nice, I had no issue except that I swapped the Wi-Fi card for an Intel as it was badly supported when I first got it (Self installed Ubuntu before any Dell Linux support).

I fried the headphone port because the office wasn't grounded and had a shock, but everything else works well after 2+ years.

The link on the page bounce me back to the generic dell page? Are they blocking by country?

Anyone has a link to the 16GB version 9370 dev ed.?

Best thing I ever did...

Managing the setting up the container system of your choice, deployment of those containers, moving yaml around, calling APIs, etc.

Why not simply call docker-compose through ansible and template the yml?

I've had issues or a lack of features with ansible's docker support, but use it otherwise for pretty much everything.

I just don't see a point to moving to a wrapper than can never have all the latest support / options that upstream has.

I'm deploying docker, kubernetes, gluster, etc. through terraform + ansible.

It'd be nice if there was a way to have ansible-pull verify GPG signatures (like some puppet setup people use). That way, it doesn't matter as much if AWX gets compromised.

Where is the crypto primitives higher level comparison to say axolotl, noise, omemo, etc.?

And if you run a Linux kernel with a C app as one, for example, it's probably possible to run a shellcode proxy in memory, even if you can't modify the app code, you could ROP if a big enough buffer overflow is possible on the stack, etc.?

Told my alma mater the same thing for a 5 years post graduation survey.

Mind you, I was on the free software club, for example, and ethic was always there for some of us.

But I encourage everyone to write to the director of their Comp. sci. / Eng. departement to ask them why is this field not deserving of ethical questioning and/or what do they plan on doing to fix this.

I know lots of 20 yo might consider this a boring waste of time or not understand the importance of this kind of education, but sadly that reaction makes this an even more pressing issue to think about and would alone justify the teaching of ethics in the context of this field's short history...

We're on the verge of big fights to preserve and improve the Internet's openness & neutrality along accessible general purpose computing for all and other basic foundations some are taking for granted while lobbies are fighting against them.

But the future of free speech depends on this education and foreshadowing by an educated population...

Not enough people are fighting back and older politicians need to be shown a few things we might see coming before the rest of the population is able to catch up.

(N.B. Same goes for many fields, but computing is now such an important and direct part of the social tissue, got there so fast, that it's getting even more important everyday.)

Most depressing news I've read today...

Algorithmic, data structure and theoretical CS are the main subjects that should get a lot more time then a single class for each (in my case).

That would allow a deeper theoretical basis but also time to link those to reality through concrete examples. But then, you'd probably lose more of the class...

You know, graduation quotas & all.. :/

Librarians are gonna go wild over this...
