Just lower case “yank” will suffice. That one’s already in use.

Lot of people don’t get that, tho.

Don’t get me started on the difference between a group and a Group…

Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

We used to be like this about PNGs once, it’ll pass.

It’s super easy to boycott Ubisoft because they make nothing but trash I don’t want to play. :P

Probably true of MS too, idk.

I assume they’re talking about the idea that tolerance is a social contract, and that people who do not abide by it are not protected by it either. I.e. It is not a contradiction of tolerance to not tolerate intolerance.

Did OP get whooshed…?

If you aren’t a fan of the book, I hear it’s fine. If you are, I hear you should skip it.

My first boss was a “just” guy. Thankfully he was also pro dev, being one himself, but sadly he was completely self-taught. This led to some interesting ideas, such as:

“We should not migrate anything to, or start any new projects in, .net framework 3. We should become the experts in .net framework 2, so people who need .net 2 solutions come to us.”

“Agile means we do less documentation.” (But we were already doing no documentation)

“Why are you guys still making that common functions class library? I just copy a .vb file into every project I work on, that way I can change it to suit the new project.” (This one led to the most amusing compound error I’ve fixed for a fellow dev.)

Good guy, all in all. But frustrating to work for often.

What happened exactly?

More thinking of the ios app store in this case. But they’re also ripping off the osx dock, IMO. :P

I’ve not booted into windows for a few weeks now. It’s been pretty smooth sailing, one horrifically unoptimised game aside.

It’s not about security. Not anymore, anyway. Maybe when Authenticode was first added to windows. Now they just want to scare users into getting everything through their store, because they’re perennially jealous of the shit Apple can get away with.

What`s the censored one about?

No, you`re right.

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write C# Java…

I don’t believe there was any specific API in use here, for virus scanning or not. I suppose maybe the device driver API? I am not a kernel developer so I don’t know if that’s the right term for it.

Crowdstrike’s driver was loaded at boot and caused a null pointer dereference error, inside the kernel. In userspace, when this happens, the kernel is there to catch it so only the application that caused it crashes. In kernelspace, you get a BSOD because there’s really nothing else to do.

I am not gonna lie, a part of me wonders if it was staged or set up somehow by his own side, or just a sufficiently deranged right-winger hoping to galvanize support for Senor Orange here…

I would like to use IPv6 but google and MS are having a dick waving contest with competing implementations, as I understand it. So fuck it.
