Re:Massive genetic study shows how humans are evolving on Sunday September 10, 2017 @05:43PM (#15214456)
You do not even need a scientist to see that there is a massive degeneration and retardation going on in the US gene pool currently. Influx of foreign genes was the solution, but now dumbness itself will trigger its own growth even stronger. If you want a better gene pool for your descendants it is time to leave US now. Good Luck!

What is the equivalent for GIMP?
Looks very interesting! Would you like to add LDAP support, maybe in a modularized way to store rules "somewhere" and provide a mechanism for mandatory application of these rules on clients ("enforce rules from trusted storage x")?

Others could build GUIs around the storage (LDAP, SQLite, whatever) and we could share rules via a website. That would be a great help for many users! Thanks!

Please add some substance to your post. Thank you!
Re:Docker Bomb on Tuesday April 25, 2017 @01:41PM (#14196098)
Meanwhile, is there a way to restrict Dockerfiles, e.g. not allowing users to be root in the container?

I had the impression that this technology was only usable for the "single user machine" use-case, as too many bad things might happen in true multi-user environments - what is quite limiting in a unix world where we are used to multi-user reality since a long time - it was disturbing to see that such a successful tec seemed to ignore that.

However, I am really happy for any updates on this issue, I did not follow Docker development too much, so punish me when I am totally wrong!

Re:PHP 7 Virtual Machine on Monday April 17, 2017 @01:59PM (#14133008)
Yes, of course there are easy to use and much better programming languages for that - I just really wanted to read some "real-life" recommendations from that guy that mentioned "php" and "long-polling" in the same sentence.

[Maybe it was just a joke and I did not get it... or I did get it but did not identify it as a joke... however... I would like to see some beef...]

Re:PHP 7 Virtual Machine on Monday April 17, 2017 @06:43AM (#14130164)
what would be a good hardware spec and server configuration to have 5000 users do long polling with a php backend?
Re:Nginx 1.12.0 stable on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @03:47PM (#14101092)
It does not make any sense to complain. The constructive approach that lead us to open source world domination goes like this: just build what you need. Start today, publish early, others will chime in and you will have the best status module you could dream of.
Re:Testing the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @03:19AM (#14095499)
No, absolutely not. There are major technical limitations, but the biggest "soft feature" you will never get on Windows is FREEDOM.
Re:Testing the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @03:11AM (#14095465)
You will see ads on your command prompt from time to time and the bash completion will contain "sensible recommendations" based on your general behavior, psychological state and political orientation.

Now that everything was published they also plan to pre-install the diverse arsenal of hacking tools on every machine, as there is no reason now anymore to hide that stuff - what will make the fight for freedom much easier for everyone involved!

To support your patriotism there will now be a personal statement of all past MS CEOs showing up on startup and the national anthem playing to support your emotions.

Also from time to time a screensaver will show the sentence "Everybody adores you, because you belong to a global hacker elite using the Windows operating system in 2017! Ignore that laughter around you!"

This is false. The opposite is true - Linux runs on many, many laptops without any problems.
You are wrong. The alternative is not cole, but of course never-ending energy sources like sun, wind, water etc. - many of those technologies are still in a very early stage because lots of government money was put into nuclear power - for only one single reason: to produce nuclear weapons.

Nuclear weapons are the only stupid reason why we will leave many unsolvable nuclear waste problems to our children - because of psychotic war-fetishists and primitive anti-social whoriticians.

Luckily the discussions are already won around the globe: renewable energy is the future, no matter how retarded any government will be that US citizens choose to lead "their country".

Of course old school lobbyists that have siphoned billions of dollars selling a failed and plain stupid technology will not just disappear, they will do everything to keep their positions selling their old ideas as "new and clean" and will be an extremely annoying obstacle to human progress for a long time, unfortunately.

But every initiative from these old greedy hateful minority will produce an even stronger impulse of reaction by the open-minded and peace-loving young people that are working hard to establish renewable energy systems around the world.

The time of the anti-social egoist-monkey has gone in most parts of the world.

Re:The Most Expensive Weapon Ever Built on Saturday March 25, 2017 @02:49PM (#13956976)
You seem to be very confused and your cynical words offer an insight into a state of mind I would call 'disturbed' at least.

It might be interesting for you to learn that the biggest problems we have today on this planet are produced by countries that are not "over-populated".

Also it seems logical that people believing in that "too-many-people"-ideology (that is actively spread by many military neanderthalers btw) should use their freedom to give a good example of how to solve that problem by killing themselves, not others.

Re:The Most Expensive Weapon Ever Built on Saturday March 25, 2017 @09:38AM (#13955557)
It is totally inhuman and not acceptable to spend such an enormous amount of money for these primitive war technologies.

We have many people on this planet still suffering from problems that could be solved with a fraction of that money.

Please do not support these destructive projects with your work. You can make a change!

From my own experience I can tell you that you will have a much better life avoiding to work for these neanderthal-minded war prophets.

Many people working in war industries are getting very, very ill, physically and psychically, because it is against your human desire for harmony to make yourself part of a giant killing machine.

Love and Peace!

Re:Bill Gates Wants to Tax Robots on Friday February 17, 2017 @01:41AM (#13666402)
A very interesting book to to gain a clear understanding: "Killing the Host" by Michael Hudson

http://michael-hudson.com/2015/09/killing-the-host-the-book/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH8FWrbzxEs

Almost everything Mr. Gatez does is wrong and became a big problem for humanity - Windows, his investments in GMOs and atomic power and US pharma companies that are blackmailing poor countries - with this piece the most important thing he does: justify tax on work as something good. Sure, a few percent of taxes are used for public wealth (good thing!), but the biggest part nowadays is extracted and transformed into profits for rich individuals and companies.

As democratic control of how taxes are used seems to be of no interest for the public, the system that was built for more participation is transformed into a profit-extracting machine for international criminal organizations.

But maybe the robot tax idea can trigger a general discussion about what should be taxed and what not. Please add the book by Mr. Hudson to these discussions.

Bloat.
Sorry, but that is just greenwashing.

Here is a german study you might be interested in (needs to be translated):

http://www.umweltbundesamt.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/biok...

Conclusion: "bio" plastics are not better in any way.

Especially PLA from genetically modified corn is not a good solution, sorry.

To reduce the amount of harm you are doing to the planet with that mass production facility should build a safe recycling chain for your customers until you find some less destructive way to make money.

To the HN techno-blinded crowd: downvoting these facts does not produce a better health for your children.

Growing up and becoming an adult also means being able to take responsibility for the future. But, yeah, Trump on, Amerrica!

Please develop a different, self-degrading material - we already have too many plastic material in the ocean and it is a major problem - you certainly did read about it, this is commonly known nowadays. I wonder how anybody would build a new business on the idea of flooding the world with even more poison.
I wonder what value has this answer of an obvious non-expert to the question of an obvious non-expert.

Would you like to provide any valuable content? I mean [non-alternative] factual content.

Please understand that it is not of interest for the public what you think about wikileaks. Thanks!

Re:ThinkPad X1 Carbon on Saturday December 31, 2016 @12:42PM (#13292082)
Ok, that makes it much better - I had the impression that the battery is soldered or fixed in a more anti-hackable way, but just a few srews are ok! Hopefully they keep that design!
Re:ThinkPad X1 Carbon on Saturday December 31, 2016 @12:39PM (#13292068)
You seem to believe that "ewaste" is something that can be "properly disposed" - you have no clue about reality or you are a marketing guy that wants to spread his lies. Maybe you are just naive and really believe the things big companies are telling you - a good follower!
Re:ThinkPad X1 Carbon on Saturday December 31, 2016 @12:36PM (#13292048)
Re:ThinkPad X1 Carbon on Saturday December 31, 2016 @06:41AM (#13290651)
Please support the idea of building a better planet for our children and do not buy laptops where you can not replace the battery - managers in companies that build these kind of products have to learn that they are acting against human interests and need to change their way of thinking.

Of course this applies to all Laptops where you can not change battery.

Thanks and have a better 2017!

Re:Darktable 2.2.0 released on Tuesday December 27, 2016 @05:51AM (#13262447)
RT has no real workflow, more a set of tools that you might apply somehow, GUI reflects that, seems unorganized. DT seems to have more advanced algorithms and tools. Both are excellent. Does not hurt to have both in your toolbelt.
Re:America Needs a New Moon Mission on Tuesday December 27, 2016 @05:48AM (#13262437)
America needs more schools and better basic education, not a moon mission.

So much absurd brainwash simply works because people are basically very uneducated, mostly on a level you might expect in Africa or in the middle age.

The results are obvious.

Re:Piwik 3.0.0 on Monday December 19, 2016 @09:45AM (#13211671)
No, not usable in real life. Old-school PHP bloat that will slow down your site. Bonus: breaks occasionally on updates. Developers not willing to learn techniques needed for a quick logger with minimal impact. Run away from people using this with high traffic sites in a still-2005-PHP-mindset.
