RE: Firefox, again
@Zecc said in Firefox, again:
These are the last updates to my add-ons. They will cease working with Firefox 57 next November. By then hopefully some alternatives appear.
But the alternative is already here, it's called Pale Moon. It's a sad day when one furry and his IRC buddies have obsoleted what was once one of the greatest open-source success stories out there.

Too obvious. Also that horrible reboot kind of sours the whole deal.

RE: Non-trolley category proposal

Don't moderate it. At least not actively. Everyone knows the rules going in. Any participant in the discussion can:
- Issue a friendly reminder
- flag the post and ask for the member to be silenced.
All the mod needs to do is
shoot an alienclick a button or whatever for "silence". Maybe someone can plead their case afterwards, but I think we know the difference betweenfriendlydissenting and notfriendlydissenting people.You're just moving the flames from one arena to another. Might as well head off to Reddit in that case.

RE: Net Neutrality
@dse said in Net Neutrality:
@anonymous234 Or Comcast could pay to a PAC to spread fake news to elect a Nazi?
No, it was Russia that hacked the election to elect a Nazi, get your narrative straight!
And on a non-political note, most marketeers seem to be too far up their own asses to use something like reverse psychology. The closest I've seen was EA hiring some obviously fake "religious protestors" to hype their God of War clone that was based on a tale inspired by retellings of the back of a cereal box parodying Dante's Inferno.

RE: Cloning drives
@PJH said in Cloning drives:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64K conv=noerror,sync # who cares what's at the end of /dev/sda!
Pretty sure that won't work:
- You're copying the partition table from a larger drive to a smaller drive. Whether it's a GPT (which comes with its own problems, as you've just copied the partition's GUID) or MBR disk, you're declaring that the smaller disk has a too-large partition.
- You're copying a too-large NTFS fs onto a smaller disk. Dunno if the modern CHKDISK-equivalent is smart enough to just resize the FS, or if it'll shit the bed or what.
But maybe I ?

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
I just don't use it because the hinge is busted
that's something, mine 's hinges suddenly completely seized up a year ago, obliterating the puny plastic screw plugs that held the screen's frame
And (if I knew what to do with the hinges) I'd be replacing the attaching points with a wedge of wood or something, but apparently the bottom plastics had become brittle enough to not survive another routine disassembly (these laptops have poor thermal flow and they quickly run hot from any kind of cpu load (yet somehow the hottest point was around right Alt, go figure) ) So the electronics held strong, but I can't operate them without a new shell, so busted it was, the SSD found a new, less dated home, and I'm left wondering what to do with the parts -

RE: WTF Bites
The trouble is that the game CD will no longer allow any installs, because Ubisoft used some sort of stupid security measure that corrupts part of the disc after three installs. Even on a different computer.
Wh-what? How the hell does that work? Did they ship it on a CD-RW? A couple-hundred floppy discs? A Jaz Drive?

RE: THE 700 CLUB
@JazzyJosh said in THE 700 CLUB:
Pretty sure these changes increase the skill floor actually. More options to select, more things to click. Nothing seems to have gotten easier, other than having more vision with the minimized HUD.
I don't really have enough Dota expertise to properly judge the stat changes, but replacing stat upgrades with discrete perks, adding regen buildings around the map and giving you three "free" item slots (6 seconds isn't that much when you're between combat areas) that not only help you complete recipes but halves active cooldowns certainly smell like making the game easier to me.

RE: THE 700 CLUB
@ben_lubar said in THE 700 CLUB:

but it's apparently important.
Looks like they're mainly copypasting a lot of gameplay and visual elements from League of Legends in an attempt to attract converts slash lower the game's vaunted skill floor. (And some genuine changes, improvements, and experiments, mind you.)
Oh, and outsourcing development of the bot AI to volunteers like with practically everything else Valve releases.

RE: Web USB
- No devices right now support this webusb thing, ergo 'legacy' behavior will be what will happen
2a. If there's a blacklist then 'legacy' devices not mentioned(aka everything not(brand-name AND not EOLed) will be free game
2b. If there's a whitelist then control would be limited to manufacturer's website(which is on no point in time compromised) and since its application would be so limited else, manufacturer would broaden the URL range to effectively 'anyone with a website'. - 'developers enabling it and then misimplementing it' does not cover the web browser. Just consider in webdev, cross-domain policy is intentionally overlooked for JSONP to work. Do you think there won't be a way to bypass whitelists, due to either bug or design?
Seriously, this is early 00s 'virus scan through browser! yay!' all over again.
You can't expose computer internals to the INTERNET. Not even pretty please a wee bit we won't do harm we promise.
Not exposing internals has been the invariant of the JS environment. That's why only JS remained, out of browser programming platforms.
ok, it's not the actual reason, but it's a reason too - No devices right now support this webusb thing, ergo 'legacy' behavior will be what will happen

Web USB
The WebUSB API lets you interact with the all USB transfer/endpoint types:
- CONTROL transfers, used to send or receive configuration or command parameters to a USB device are handled with controlTransferIn(setup, length) and controlTransferOut(setup, data).
- INTERRUPT transfers, used for a small amount of time sensitive data are handled with the same methods as BULK transfers with transferIn(endpointNumber, length) and transferOut(endpointNumber, data).
- ISOCHRONOUS transfers, used for streams of data like video and sound are handled with isochronousTransferIn(endpointNumber, packetLengths) and isochronousTransferOut(endpointNumber, data, packetLengths).
- BULK transfers, used to transfer a large amount of non-time-sensitive data in a reliable way are handled with transferIn(endpointNumber, length) and transferOut(endpointNumber, data).
This specification defines a way for the device to provide the UA with a set of static data structures defining a set of origins that are allowed to connect to it.
The methods above are the ways [TN: none really] in which this specification attempts to mitigate this attack vector for once the device is under the control of an attacker (for example, by uploading a malicious firmware image) there is nothing that can be done by the UA to prevent further damage.
This specification recommends device manufacturers practice defense in depth by designing their devices to only accept signed firmware updates and/or require physical access to the device in order to apply some configuration changes.
BUT YOU NEEDED PHYSICAL ACCESS TO SEND USB PACKETS BEFORE ANDROID NEEDS ROOT ACCESS FOR IT NOW YOU LET ANYONE WITH A WEBSITE SEND LOW LEVEL CONTROL TO ALL MY PERIPHERALS WHY

RE: Python 3 angst 2016 edition
@asdf said in Python 3 angst 2016 edition:
If you need another minor version:
- Install into /usr/local/
- Create virtualenv
- ???
- Profit
Oh sure, no doubt. Maybe I should have said something like "won't be supported by eselect", or "won't even be noticed by the package manager, so you'll (probably?) need to manually install Python packages you installed with the package manager"? I didn't mean to say that there was no way to install another version.
Of (minor?) note is the fact that Gentoo doesn't use virtualenv (or any of those other things that Zecc mentioned) to handle the concurrently installed versions.

RE: Python 3 angst 2016 edition
@dkf said in Python 3 angst 2016 edition:
It seems to me like the really big problems relate to how hard it is to have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on the same system.
Gentoo Linux seems to handle it just fine.
$ python --version Python 3.4.3 $ python2 --version Python 2.7.11 $ python3 --version Python 3.4.3 $ eselect python list Available Python interpreters, in order of preference: [1] python3.4 [2] python2.7 (fallback)
You can also change whether Python2 or Python3 is the default when you just ask for "python".
Now, Gentoo only supports having one version of Python from each minor release (2.7, 3.4, 3.5) simultaneously installed on the system, so your "four or five different builds" situation wouldn't be supported. But, I would bet that that's not a terribly big concern for most folks who're using Python. ;)

RE: Ubuntu is a fucking trainwreck
@asdf said in Ubuntu is a fucking trainwreck:
I reinstalled the packages a few times, though, and still have the same problem. Also, this is the first time I tried to install libc++, so I doubt that I fucked up some configuration by myself.
Edit: Ah, I see the difference now. Can you add a
-std=c++14
and try again?I get the same error you're getting when I use
-std=c++14
. Given that I installed libc++-dev and dependant packages from apt-get, it's unlikely that either of us fucked up the libc++ installation.This seems both relevant and completely fucking stupid:
Maybe we should all just switch to Gentoo?

RE: Group sues to see more ads
@blek said in Group sues to see more ads:
Not sure about the interesting case; as I said before I think they're looking for money...
Maybe. Though if that were true, they wouldn't have filed a class action... the plaintiffs in those almost always get either miniscule amounts of cash, or slightly larger amounts of company credit.
Facebook may settle to avoid a ruling that requires it to police housing adverts, but I can't imagine that the settlement would give the plaintiffs 10x more than they would be granted by the court.
