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.


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.


Yeah, which is why it is sometimes weirdly safer to not change your SSID - a cracker can assume that someone who figured out how to change the broadcast name could've also changed the WiFi password... often to something much less secure.


SSID is used for password hashing, so better change it from default to avoid rainbow tables.


Don't forget the "bug" where Google's supercookie was un-deletable https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1008706


1) This bug is INVALID. Several people tried to reproduce it and failed.

2) The indicated cookie (from bug 1026538) is a cookie sandboxed for privacy reasons and NOT your real Google cookie. It broke the cookie manager exactly because it was sandboxed.

So tell me, what do you mean by using quotes around "bug"?


It's called FUD.


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.


You might try the imgui/nuklear crates, dealing with generated bindings for something massive like Qt will never be pleasant.


Both PyQt and PySide work quite well for something that "will never be pleasant".


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.


It's a reasonable indirection, putting encryption into the file system is controversial, see NTFS for the pitfalls.


There goes the 99.95% uptime guarantee.


In theory that still gives you a lot of downtime in a 365-day span :p Then again, once you are down for more than 4 hours (as they are), that uptime starts ticking away rather fast.


I believe a 99.95% uptime guarantee indicates that you will only have 4.38h of downtime _per year_. So, yeah, they've blown their allowance for the year and now need to execute perfectly.


Why are these off-topic posts in every submission today, did Mozilla sponsor another outreach?
