zer0t3ch··on Study Finds Link Between Profanity and Honesty
Makes sense.
zer0t3ch··on Study Finds Link Between Profanity and Honesty
In fairness, I assume you would still try to swear less in an interview, no?
zer0t3ch··on Study Finds Link Between Profanity and Honesty
> a load of shit

Your comment is anecdotal proof that profanity doesn't have jack shit to do with anger.

zer0t3ch··on The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway
That is a surprisingly fun fact.
zer0t3ch··on Easy XMPP: What are we doing here?
> Asking someone to used an XMPP client, ideally should be the same as asking someone to use a torrent client

It is the same, and the majority of people can't manage to do either.

zer0t3ch··on Modern Tech inside an Amish Horse-Drawn Buggy
That's an interesting comparison, but it totally makes sense.
zer0t3ch··on Integrating GTA V into Universe
Depends on the game, really. That may be true for some, but far from all.
zer0t3ch··on SipHash and HalfSipHash Added to Linux Kernel
As someone who's not at all versed in cryptography, (yet) anyone want to put this in more laymen terms? Maybe compare it to an existing cryptographical-method I might understand or at least know of?
zer0t3ch··on Canary Statement
I guess it's about the precedent they've set in the past. If they always do it on the exact same day every year, then being a week late means something. If they do it annually plus or minus a couple months, then a couple months doesn't mean much.

For reference, I have no clue what precedent they've set already.

zer0t3ch··on Ask HN: Why does Google put the query in the URL hash instead of query string?
You don't even need to use the tab key. It automatically works for me just from pressing space after the keyword in Chrome. In the end, the usage is identical to FF.
zer0t3ch··on Bringing Wide Color to Instagram
I don't use IG, so I wasn't aware of that problem or how long it had been around. That said, the general sentiment stands: one of their teams working on one thing doesn't show that they don't have another team working on something unrelated.

> it's almost as divisive as the Israel/Palestine conflict

But who doesn't love a good bit of conflict, amirite?

zer0t3ch··on 20 years as a Debian maintainer
As someone who basically started getting into Linux with Systemd (I had dabbled before, but not in-depth) I love it. Mind expanding on what you don't like about it?

One thing I do remember before Systemd though was the fact that every service was essentially a glorified bash script, and I hated that. With Systemd, there seems to generally be a much more clear-cut definition of how things operate, without all the cruft.

Have you tried restarted Chrome since you changed the display profile?

> I imagine in this case the android team is fairly separate

This is likely it, right here. So many people forget that larger companies have different teams working on different things. I bet a lot of their "iOS people" that are working on this project have no clue how the Android app works, and Instagram likely has a separate team working on the compression issues.

Isn't this jumping the gun a bit? I'd give it at least another month before a lack of update means anything.
zer0t3ch··on Git-annex: Peer-to-peer network with Tor
What makes it such a killer feature? Maybe I'm missing something, but I simply don't see the point.
