Is there evidence of this happening?
And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.
Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.
Correct
Never connect your tv to the internet.
Hey boss, I’m logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.
Two years later…
This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It’s messing up our velocity metric.
How did GRRM get rich again?
oh yeah he sold books he worked on for decades, totally the same WB.
macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.
I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.
I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.
I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.
The second most important thing about vim to learn is:
If nothing is behaving then you probably have caps lock on.
You can always alias to
<
in your shell.
I simply have too much vim config and muscle memory to ever leave vim
I’m trapped in a prison of my own making!
Same here.
The biggest diss I have on emacs users, as a vim user, is that emacs is the only text editor where people routinely need to keep a book about it on their desk!
I used to work with a bunch of emacs guys and they all had an emacs book or two on their desk or as a monitor stand. They usually also had one on awk and/or Perl to go with it.
I’m sure they’d probably make fun of me for being unable to edit a file with anything but my specific vim config, which is not compatible with any other human’s vim config.
(I would never seriously judge someone on their editor, but I will bust an emacs users chops and accept a good natured jab back)
I don’t have much to say about nano, except the hotkey bindings are weird and unnatural.
They make sense, but they feel wrong.
Yeah I should have added the cut proof gloves and thumb protectors
Whittling
Just buy a knife kit and some wood blanks, surprisingly affordable.
First the right then the left.
It depends is the tree puts on pants before or after being populated.
This is so true.
Even if you do design clean modular code and document it, you’re getting a question a year from now about how it works, or someone just duct tapes on top of it.
History is written by the squashers.
That actually sounds pretty cool
Sometimes what I’d like to be able to do is treat part of an app as a core and the rest like user provided scripts, but written and evaluated in the host language and not running an embedded scripting language like lua with all the extra burden.
E.g. you have an image editor and you want the user to be able to write native functions to process the image. Or you have a game engine and you want to inject new game code from the user without the engine being a compiler or the game logic being bundled scripts.
Some people hate that C is dangerous, but personally I like its can-do attitude.
“Hey C, can I write over the main function at runtime?”
Sure, if you want to, just disable memory protection and memcpy whatever you want there! I trust you.
It’s a great attitude for a computer to have.
Surely that can’t be uniform random though
But they’re just using it for a seed, so the output would be impossible to predict, but it feels like a checksum or something would approach a Gaussian distribution (the more numbers you add up, the more Gaussian it would be, since we know an image will have a mean and finite variance).
