The 404 article irked me a lot, thanks for writing this.

This is a really nice tool. But the fundamental reason most go for print is because its right there and that wins over other UX improvements or machinery. Python is a language where you can get a reasonably good debugger with a single line almost anywhere, still people reach for print()

HGST is sadly just WD now.

For people like me who is confused about what this means: https://airdrops.io/stellar/

I am not sure what do you mean by technical,

- but 99% invincible is a podcast talks about how things (a very broad definition) work - often from a design/interconnections viewpoint.

- Beats, Rye and Type is nice but they seems to be dead

That's the central problem, isn't it? Technology only gets more complicated, and we have never bothered much about giving general population effective tools and skills to make informed decisions for themselves. A well-known company vouches for something, and that's all I'd know if I was buying a ring device.

It won't be much different than what the current generation storage devices contain.

You already need to upgrade SSD firmware these days. Linux fwupmgr has support for few of them.

I don't have any solutions to your last statement, but one of the problem is that legal name of the entity matching doesn't really mean its the same entiy you think it is - the example ( also in the original page): https://stripe.ian.sh/

Ebay has a tonne of them. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m...

Self plug: I wrote https://github.com/dbalan/idid to do more or less the same thing when my did file needed a bit more structure (also an excuse to write some haskell).

As a side note, I'd consider trying to flash something openWRT on other routers that anybody owns. There are not really many companies that keeps releasing patches for consumer devices unless there is a major outcry (for e.g KRACK). In most cases your router in a small MIPS box running linux (consumer ones), treat it as you'd treat your other systems and update it often!

I like this, but 2018 Internet is essentially needing this for every website you visit.

This is going to be a problem for open source communities that use a semi-public slack as the communication platform. I don't think the users expect the DMs to be public to the project admin.

Its not necessarily bad. Bit it might be time for those communities to move.

Its nice to give consumers choice, but it puts extereme pressure on Apple to commit to their things works across every apple product policy. Most of loyal [non dev] apple consumers count on this.

IMO this has slightly better info: https://avherald.com/h?article=4a5e80f3&opt=0

So python eventually moved to git from mercurial.

Both CPUs are connected with a PCI bus and as far as the main SOC is concerned its a bunch of peripherals on PCI

For people who is wondering what it is.. "Club Penguin is a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) involving a virtual world containing a range of online games and activities,"

Some observations, 1. At this point its extremely hard to use XMPP - there are too many competing standards that implements encryption (of which a subset has forward secrecy), and if sender server doesn't implement any the other end does, usually falls back to plain text, one can disable it - but this is just too much overhead for a regular user. (food for thought [1])

2. Again, reminder from countless HN comments - there is a PR in works to make GCM optional[2], as soon as its merged, this will be solved

3. Maps seems to the real problem here: this could be disabled after 2? (otherwise, whats the point?)

edit: formatting, forward secrecy not e2e

system() is one of the most abused function in that code.

Added OT tag, I was not comparing webextensions, pointing out, this is still an unsolved problem.

Slightly OT: There is another problem that most people seems to miss. Add-ons in their current form in ff are tightly coupled to the browser to the point that it's the browser itself. In the modern web, the browser knows too much about you, and so does the add-on, and it's not unheard of them to explore it[1]

How does that free webpage to PDF converter add-on make money? By selling your web history of course.

EDIT: added OT tag

Adding a row about the update situation of device would be nice. 1. Updates promised untill X year 2. Only security patches, etc.

Can somebody explain how this works?

Oracle built hardware == so Solaris on SPARC?

Apparently it's not limited to fish industry. A lot of ingredients are substituted behind the scenes and recipes altered when crossing geographic boundaries. [1] https://nypost.com/2016/07/10/the-truth-behind-how-were-scam...

Mosh helps in this case, they buffer the keystrokes and liberates user frustration by giving a visual response.

The original report has much detailed explanation with all the facts[1]. I was left wondering how an ppt downloaded an app into an Android phone.
