News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

LUKS does not really have a password screen. It must have been your X-window session or terminal emulator that did not support it. LUKS can handle it!

What a delightful data set!

I was very surprised to see the ocurence of goto lines in the Unix source code. Not to mention an increasing amount of them in the later years! I've heard [0] that Goto's are considered harmful.

Re:Git-Stats – A local GitHub-like contributions calendar on Monday February 16, 2015 @09:27AM (#9057003)
That's not what I need.

I need download stats, checkout stats, per page view stats and per file view stats.

So it is a Sanfran-scale?
Re:Ask HN: What trustworthy sources of general news do you use? on Tuesday September 30, 2014 @02:17PM (#8389989)
I use Reddit's Worldnews subreddit /r/worldnews for a nice crowdsourced news source. It will often contain breaking news at incredible paces.

The news agency Al Jazeera in English is an amazing news source. They stream 24/7 and it's free to watch. Very daring journalists whom approach the happenings moreso than most other agencies. Very rarely biased.

Google News, while old, is still quite good.
