nah, there's no computers or anything in africa :'D

"Cycling is like a piece of magic: It only has advantages,” said Ms. van Hooijdonk . (who never cycled into gale force winds in freezing cold and rain ;'D... wtf)

it also protects you in the car, if not from physical damage which at speed is likely when hitting a heavy object like a human, from mental trauma of killing a person...

lol, cars arent the cause. people who can't drive are.

c has no memory management, its for the programmer itself. so if i a c program has bad memory management it's not the language but the programmer. (admittedly not easy to get right if you need to do it yourself.)

C is specific in that it tries to give a good direct interface with hardware. If working within other software like an OS, it's tedious, as there's a lot of things outside of C itself to take into account. Again, not a downside of a language, but the way it is used.

Javascript has no relation whatsoever to C, in its design nor implementation. it's a scripting language :/.

C is far superior than a lot of languages, but it's often badly applied giving it a bad name. It has a more limited scope in todays world of rapid development on top of operating systems. For embedded / bare metal systems it rules the day and there's barely an alternative unless the bare metal provides excessive resources to allow for things like c++ or rust which add a lot of overhead to systems to provide more ease of use. (i.e. not always worth it / possible depending on the system its targeting.)

assembly would be a good alternative to C, but it's incredibly more tedious, where C is a good high level repalcement for assembly, which is what it was designed to be.

C is great, just don't use it if you don't need to use it.

feel the same. there's a lot of people out there who never get a chance to learn any english. to write your own code based on ascii / latin char set might be ok, but to interpret other's code etc. would be very difficult. so for example in a school, having only code examples with ascii could be a significant barrier to teach ,when all other subjects presented are in the local language / character set.

beautiful :)

its easy to let them type old password then new password twice, that way u can confirm it's not similar to old password atleast since u receive it in unhashed form from the user themselves.

since it's using regular admin credz, a lot of prior 'breaches' might even have gone unnoticed, since its likely no alarm bells would have been in place to find authorised access misuse.

opinion opinion opinion, it's nice 'moot point' was in bold. i stopped reading there and took it as a summary of the article. don't care about stallman nor FSF, but this article seems a sad attempt at making any kind of point. Much negativity in the first few scentences makes the writer seem exactly the kind of person he's trying to describe. :')

nice of them to admit last times it wasn't serious then ;D they been calling this out since advent of ipv6 >.> are they just trying to sell ipv6 or what? since a lot of companies move to cloud solutions i can imagine this being less of an issue and a lot of blocks to be returned to the pool?

always being happy to help and people using that as an excuse to be their shit dumping ground because they are [lazy|incompetent|arseholes]

it costs google query.

just google the company names, atleast one yields name of 'ceo'...

agree. what do ppl expect? that airbnb sends by some bouncers to kick the dude out?? what the hell. even if they would take down some contract or reservation, there's no guarantee that will do anything for the situation. the person is already clearly disregarding these kinds of agreements in the first place :S

very nice write up :D good job!

i'm not against gps tracking or other people tracking, i'm only against irresponsible usage of this data. that people will be tracked everywhere and these kind of features being implemented in such a connected world is unavoidable, and in reality besides the darker downsides it might have of irresponsible usage of the data, it has good potential to do very nice things for people.

the issue is not with the technology, but with people, as always. with the adoption of ipv6, iot and gps_in_everything etc. it's not a question about if the technology can be used for bad things, it's a question about if it will.

people who only believe int he darker side of this technology can easily avoid it by not participating. they should let people who willingly participate do so at their own 'peril' if that's their opinion.

privacy advocates are the new religion trying to push their views on everyone even though it's just a matter of opinion. some people love to be tracked everywhere for the benefits it can give them, other people hate it for the downsides it might have. its all a matter of opinion for users, and a question of integrity for its masters.

competitive pressure is why i noted you won't earn billions.

i say it like that because what 'good' is is subjective. you are right though, the more good there are, whatever that is ^^...., the easier it will be. but to get to that point, people need to personally take that stance, not wait for others to do it.

you can be a 'good human' yourself, whatever that means. and if you start a business you can make an effort to try and be a 'good business', whatever that means. you won't earn billions, but perhaps can 'feel good about yourself', whatever that means.

serverless is just servers_over_there :'). same shitty security. just a bit flexible pricing which might or might not benifit people depending on the pricing model and load averages / paterns.

most excuses people give for going serverless is just handing off responsibilities to cloud providers to be able to point and blame if the shit hits the fan.

marketingleaks :')

i just like how 'dark web' turned into 'Tor' at some point :'). there's tons of others... :s guess ppl forgot

this brings back memories :') love it. thanks for sharing.

to be honest, if someone is sold a 'lifelong pass', it should be lifelong, regardless of the status of the individual, it's a fraud to give him anything less.

if they found at the end it was a mistake to give out such tickets, that's their problem ,not the end user's problem.

in light of fraud of the user, for example giving the lifelong pass to use by other individuals (obviously not the intended purpose of the thing) i could expect it to be withdrawn. but that would only apply if these limitations were clearly stated or noted on the purchase.

how do you qualify if someone is qualified? how do you know what percentage of these people is unqualified? do you go by the rate who is not hired? i know there's people out there applying for jobs they don't have the required skillset for, don't get me wrong. but these numbers which are posted say nothing about that, and so no observation can be made on that point? Or am i missing something further?

i don't think its a problem that people don't let you use the site if you don't opt-in. thats a design choice, not a fault or problem or bad implementation. just a show of that they would really really like to track you. if you don't want to be tracked, then it's a clear indicator to avoid such site in the future.

I wholeheartedly agree on your point though, that if i reject 'A' on one site, it could be assumed by the browser i'd like to reject 'A' on the next site. Perhaps the same kind of block could occur like they do with faulty ssl settings, just stating that you blocked 'A' on some site ,and this site is using the same, with a button to proceed if you accept that fact.

i wouldn't necessarily disagree with that statement you make. though i think without concrete evidence, it's not possible to say anything like this for certain. there are indeed a lot of ways to make someone die, even just applying the 'right kind of psychological pressure to have someone do a lot of drugs' or such things.

these kinds of things can't be made concrete, and thus i'd say it's a waste of time and effort to pursue such thoughts, just as it's a waste of time and effort to pursue other views, like speculating about less tin foil hattish circumstances of his death.

the medical report is clear up to a point it can be. anything after that is just speculation unless direct concrete evidence can be provided.

that means, that this post isn't anymore far fetched than people speculating about less conspiracy based items. it's all a bunch of guesses, and there won't be a final answer unless someone pulls some proof out of their hat.

it's better to spend time on things which do have an answer instead of speculating on past events.

may the dude rest in peace and let that be the end of it.

agree, even though some features of X are a bit crappy built, it's very well known, documented and used for so long basically any issue you run into someone else will have solved already somehow. perhaps one day wayland will be nice ,but not yet imho.

this looks kind of nice to be honest, and i hardly ever say that about some custom distro. only thing i'd like is to install it from USB instead of some chroot mumbo jumbo. that would require me to instal linux on a box firs before re-rolling into this. kind of annoying. perhaps something on the roadmap, didn't check. but definitely promising as far as i can see.
