Not that I've heard of. Recently I stumbled upon this guy trying to get it to work in QEMU: https://alephsecurity.com/2019/06/17/xnu-qemu-arm64-1/

Every time I hit HN I can't help but be amazed at how sad the future is getting

Not dumb at all; in fact, Win32 resource scripts[1] end with the ".rc" extension

I wondered the same thing, then I did a quick Google search and it turns out they're relatively known in Mexico They also have a web page: www.biyubi.com

It does not matter for the 90% of the people who do not turn on airplane mode in their phones when they get in the car.

I'm using Fennec F-Droid and can confirm this bug also affected me, and I really don't know if it can be solved without an update (which is not yet available, as it seems)

I once toyed with the idea of a machine-oriented spoken conlang similar to Lisp in "syntax" by reserving certain syllables for punctuation (brackets, etc.) One of the main problems of existing solutions is that they lack flexibility due to the poor state of natural language understanding, which is solved by pretty much removing natural language from the equation. However, it would be unusable for most people, or at least would have a learning curve too steep for it to be practical.

I recently stumbled upon these slides for an introductory course on C, memory management and computer architecture from a programmers point of view (https://cs.nyu.edu/courses/spring17/CSCI-UA.0201-001/resourc...)

Grumpy wizards make toxic brew for the evil Queen and Jack

I don't really care about Fitbit collecting all that data. If you don't want yours to be used, just buy another tracker from the tons out there. Privacy is all about choice, so it's not as bad as i.e. Google using your search data because the room for choice is smaller (at least for me, having tried out DuckDuckGo and others and switching back). Also I'd rather have my data harvested for science and medicine than for selling advertisements or whatnot

AFAIK You can hide your online status/last seen for the price of not being able to see other people's

It seems to me it would require to hook the window procedures of all processes, which is an ugly hack at best.

That's the way to go I guess. But secure boot has obvious advantages in comparison. As a rule of thumb I do not trust any client-side "authentication" or passphrase input as long as there's no crypto involved. In legacy BIOS this passphrase can be bypassed easily, for instance

And so can anyone with physical access to the device. I know there's no way to fully prevent evil maid attacks, but Secure Boot helps in that no one can simply plug e.g. a Linux Live USB and wipe my disks in less than 3 minutes

In most Secure Boot-enabled PCs you can manage keys and certificates on the firmware KEK/DB variables by using utilities such as KeyTool, so that you can safely boot any EFI-compliant OS with a custom certificate.

I'm not sure how this would work on Apple devices. It seems to me they have reinvented the whole security infrastructure of their services, which it's not a bad thing, but also requires some serious hacking if you don't want your device locked down with Apple-only software. Is there any way you could possibly manage the trust chain of secure boot on devices with the T2?

Wouldn't that be great? If you think about it, it's surprising how GitHub's potential as a platform has been solely used for code up until now, taking into account that pretty much anything that can be represented as text may benefit from its "social coding" features.

Is anyone working on this? I don't even use Slack but could be interesting to reverse engineer the protocol and all and implement at least an API library or something for Windows

But I think this is only a problem from a UX standpoint. IRC has DCC, for instance, but it's a matter of building a client which e.g. inlines DCC "attachments" or displays images beneath messages with links. If IRC is truly "revived" there's a chance IRC clients grow or new ones emerge to keep up with "modern" IM systems, and IRC will still have more benefits than these (openness, ubiquity...)

I read the Wikipedia entry and I immediately thought of Sibyl. It's horrifying and quite sad knowing that many people predicted this long ago and we did nothing but rejoice for the literary excellence of their works (e.g. 1984)

From the actual home page (http://build2.org):

  Next-generation, Cargo-like integrated build toolchain for 
  C++.

I can imagine some sort of "proxy instance" which takes Twitter data and presents it in an ActivityPub-compatible format. However I'm not sure Twitter provides an API for reading that much data at scale (rate limits). But in principle it seems doable to me.

Because third-party software, specially old third party software, still uses mshtml and disabling Internet Explorer also gets rid of mshtml IIRC

However, it is not (officially) supported[1] I still can't understand what's wrong with Microsoft locking up users and developers to what I consider inferior ("consumer", as they call it) release of Windows, knowing LTSB is not that different from Enterprise

Maybe not humans but instead what we deem as the only thing that's inherent to all of us (humanity?) will be long gone by then.

LTSB user here: I had zero trouble installing VS and other software on it. Relating to the article, it was the most painful install I've ever had to deal with, precisely because of Windows Update

I bet they turned on some chrome://flags ;)

I wonder if by native app they mean an actual native app instead of a fake native app (Electron I'm looking at you)
