RE: "I used to work for Tesla…"
@Benjamin-Hall said in "I used to work for Tesla…":
@Polygeekery And probably all that data is still available on their servers, just waiting for someone to crawl in and slurp it up. Linking it to people is trivial, since you have their entire driving history for a long time.
There's no way to tie it to an individual; it could be any Tesla owner who happens to park his car at 27 Shady Oak Drive every night.

RE: OOP is TRWTF
Some might disagree with me, but the truth is that modern OOP has never been properly designed. It never came out of a proper research institution (in contrast with Haskell/FP). I do not consider Xerox or another enterprise to be a “proper research institution”. OOP doesn’t have decades of rigorous scientific research to back it up. Lambda calculus offers a complete theoretical foundation for Functional Programming. OOP has nothing to match that. OOP mainly “just happened”.
An organic development that wasn't "properly designed" at a research institute? *drops monocle in shock*

RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents
@ben_lubar said in "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents:
Or to scan your unlocked car for later 3D printing?
That sounds suspiciously like downloading a car, an act so heinous that even DVD pirates wouldn't do it.

RE: Jeff'd Again
To repeat a point made repeatedly years ago when we were still on Discourse:
It's forum software. It serves text.
There should be no reason for it not to work/gracefully degrade on Lynx, much less a modern(ish) browser with fancy monkey dancing features. You don't need an infini-scrolling SPA that reimplements basic browser features in Javascript to deliver text content over HTTP

RE: In other news today...
A support note from Cupertino, spotted by AppleInsider, says the card should be kept away from leather and denim to avoid discolouration, and also away from hard surfaces, to avoid scratching its white finish.
Users are warned not to use household cleaners on the card, nor compressed air and aersols, nor any solvents, or ammonia, or anything abrasive to clean it.
Also, don't expose it to bright lights, get it wet, or feed it after midnight.

RE: We need to be more user hostile to help them embrace freedom!
@Gurth said in We need to be more user hostile to help them embrace freedom!:
given the fact that most install fests quietly play the role of the devil, I think that an explicit devil would be less bad. It would convert the install-fest dilemma from a debilitating contradiction into a teaching experience.
Yes, it will teach people to use a different operating system that will let them use all of their computer’s and peripherals’ capabilities without having to deal with self-righteous Linux geeks.
I have no problem at all with using Linux, but I would like its proponents to be more … well, helpful when I’m trying to troubleshoot a problem.
If you need help with Linux you have to know how to ask the right way.
Wrong: How do I [do something] in Linux?
Wrong: I'm having trouble with [some problem]
This will get you nowhere. Someone will call you a nub and tell you to RTFM.Right: Linux is a fucking pile of shit because it can't [do something]
Right: I've had it with this stupid Linux and [some problem]. I'm going back to Windows.
This will get every Linux user tripping over their own dicks to prove you wrong about Linux and give you a 879568719 step procedure that'll get you one step closer to doing the thing/fixing the problem that would be a one-click operation in a good OS. -

RE: WTF Bites
MS Paint's Skew
You can enter an angle to skew something horizontally or vertically. It works just fine when you want a positive angle, but when you try to type a minus sign, this happens:
That's dumb, maybe for you have to keep it positive. Ok, I'll try this:
The solution is to type a minus sign somewhere else, then copy paste it into the window.

RE: A fool and his not-really-money are soon parted
@atazhaia said in A fool and his not-really-money are soon parted:
I heard ISIS is going to make their own cryptocurrency. I should buy into it just to lock down coins so they can't be used for anything bad.
So his plan is to give the terrorists real money in exchange for Terrorist FunBux, to prevent the funding of terrorism?
