Well in the case I'm remembering a lot of setuid system utilities were written in Perl and had to be re-written in C before the interpreter and libraries could be excised. I don't know to wh…

It's worth the reduction in attack surface: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=... I concede it is a little different on FreeBSD where the "base sys…

A little of both. This is for a fairly low-volume personal tech blog so of course this wouldn't really scale. When I do add a comment to one of my pages it's not presented in the typical com…

Thank you, whoever made the change!

The title of this submission doesn't do a good job conveying that it's about the DEC Alpha CPU architecture. It says so in the first sentence, but that doesn't matter if the headline do…

Those "awesome" lists don't make sense to me because they just end up being a crowdsourced list of every piece of software in <category> with no moderation for quality.

I just ditched comments entirely and don't miss them. Comment volume didn't change, but people email me now instead.

> I still encounter more python2 software than python3 software. Well, you're looking at the way this will change. I've been through this before when Perl was removed from the base FreeBS…

I experience this bug and my GPU is definitely not overheating.

AlienBlue is the official app, just frozen in time in 2014.

Please don't devalue the term "abusive" by using it to refer to UI dark patterns.

That resignation is hilarious. GPL extremism is tolerable but a Taiwanese flag was "too much". Good riddance.

Old versions of Winamp suffer from some pretty severe vulnerabilities. For this reason I don't think it's a great idea to run anything except the latest official Winamp beta or the latest WA…

Did we not have an extremely large civil rights reform in 2014 with marriage equality?

“outside of training” includes Apollo 1

Does the license allow you to virtualize Mojave as long as it’s on Mac hardware?

I try not to think of it like a work is something you can only “get” or “not get”. The ability for a work to stay with you and become a vehicle for the growth of your own ideas is the important part, …

Thank you for the book recommendation. Your description stands out to me because it feels like that’s the way “Russian” (as often claimed; sorry for a political example) influence on American and othe…

From the title I initially wasn't sure if this would be about people who quit using Facebook becoming happier, or people who quit working there. Anecdotally both are true among my peer group :)

> I don't get how the site is such a specter of misery for some people That's fine, great even, but do you believe those people are reporting their own experiences accurately?

> If they'd included an NNTP reader, we'd be still using USENET to this day. How does this square with Eternal September being caused by (paraphrasing) "too many normal users with ac…

They stopped the car by driving in front of it to trigger the braking sensor.
