News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You can't discuss anything on the Internet anymore, everything is politicized ax-grinding by dishonest people fishing for clicks, personal celebrity, and Patreon money who just ruin the discussion.

Do real journalists still exist that can actually interview some of the parties involved, cut through the tweets and personality, and get both sides of this?

Reddit is pretty bad without the RES extension, it's not surprising they want to change that.
Re:On Working with White People – Part One on Wednesday July 26, 2017 @12:46PM (#14857829)
It sounds like one of his friends didn't get hired so he went on a rant confusing corporate culture with all white people.
It's not viable for those random 12-ish digit passwords most ISPs will use.
Don't forget the "bug" where Google's supercookie was un-deletable https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1008706
I believe he can have PAs under him writing prescriptions in his name also. For chronic pain I assume there's not much to evaluate but click "approve" in some medical information system.
Re:Rust's 2017 roadmap, six months in on Thursday July 06, 2017 @10:43AM (#14710759)
PyQt and PySide was exactly what I had in mind. It'll leak memory, segfault on load 1% of the time, segfault if you call unrelated methods in the wrong order, you'll randomly get QStrings and QExceptions instead of their Python equivalents, and it'll be impossible to debug.
Re:Rust's 2017 roadmap, six months in on Wednesday July 05, 2017 @05:34PM (#14706314)
You might try the imgui/nuklear crates, dealing with generated bindings for something massive like Qt will never be pleasant.
Re:Playing with ZFS encryption on Linux on Tuesday June 20, 2017 @11:28AM (#14595333)
It's a reasonable indirection, putting encryption into the file system is controversial, see NTFS for the pitfalls.

Why are these off-topic posts in every submission today, did Mozilla sponsor another outreach?
Re:How Cloudflare Helps Serve Up Hate on the Web on Friday May 05, 2017 @02:18PM (#14275598)
Complain to their web host then, Cloudflare has nothing to do with this unless you're arguing there's a right to DDoS them.
When people talk about legalizing drugs they usually mean "soft" drugs like weed/LSD/mushrooms and not opioids/benzos.
Re:Young White America Is Haunted by a Crisis of Despair on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @01:57PM (#14150035)
I wonder if they're mistaking economic factors causing more drug deaths for the new and lethal Fentanyl-laced heroin on the streets.
Re:Biomedical companies bleed 500k horseshoe crabs a year on Monday April 17, 2017 @11:21AM (#14131529)
I don't think it's even close ethically to torturing a bear. You know people boil crabs alive all the time, right?

Re:PulseAudio requirement breaks Firefox on ALSA-only systems on Wednesday March 15, 2017 @11:59AM (#13877011)
> I've never had issues with ALSA

You haven't been acquainted with asoundrc/dmix/alsamixer. ALSA is to Pulse as XFree86 is to Xorg, I feel no nostalgia for it at all.

Re:Windows file system compression had to be dumbed down on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @11:33AM (#12846646)
It's never been worth using due to the slowdown and fragmentation it causes.
Re:How 2K Killed Irrational Games on Monday October 31, 2016 @10:14AM (#12836837)
Tribes: Vengeance was awful. Irrational/Vivendi destroyed the franchise and back-stabbed an amazing modding community.
UMDF isn't for file systems.
