07:47 schestowitz__[TR]; I don't have any contacts of relevance, but I can imagine they're aware of the posts (the family I mean), or at least the shoot-the-messenger tactics, insinuating without evidence "mental illness" and the like...
07:47 schestowitz__[TR]; I know those tactics. I've done Techrights since I was 24. How do you think Novell staff tried to discredit "Boycott Novell"? Threats, name-calling, etc. Social control media is the worst in the regards. Stay away from those corporate bee hives.
07:47 schestowitz__[TR]; As for LWN, Corbet is in 'Linux' Foundation and he's between some rock and a hard place. This is a systemic problem.

11:06 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>Photodiodes alone cant detect color, only brightness. Professional and consumer digital cameras incorporate color filters and algorithms to interpolate color. But in this case, the picture is black and white. This camera doesnt utilize color filters and doesnt even have a lens. It also only has a resolution of 8 x 6 48 pixels in total. Each of those photosites is a simple
11:06 schestowitz__[TR]; photoresistor, which is a component with a variable resistance proportional to the intensity of the light that hits it.</p>

11:25 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>As weve seen in the previous article, a browser extension isnt very different from a website. Its all the same HTML pages and JavaScript code. The code executes in the browsers regular sandbox. So what can websites possibly gain by exploiting vulnerabilities in a browser extension?</p>
11:25 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>Well, access to extension privileges of course. Browser extensions usually have lots of those, typically explicitly defined in the permissions entry of the extension manifest, but some are granted implicitly. Reason enough to take a closer look at some of these permissions and their potential for abuse.</p>

11:28 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>If I'm doing this text formatting in jq purely for output, I think it's clear that @tsv is the easiest option and has the simplest jq expression. I suspect I'd never have a reason to use string concatenation to produce the entire output line instead of doing string interpolation. Well, maybe if I'm in some shell context that makes giving jq all of those '\(' bits too hard, since string concatenation
11:28 schestowitz__[TR]; doesn't need any backslashes.</p>
11:28 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>But honestly, if I need complicated formatting I'm more likely to fix jq's output up in awk with its printf. Awk printf will do a lot that's at least quite annoying in jq.</p>

14:47 -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-danielpocock.com | Volunteers were punished for Debian Day suicide disclosures
14:47 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>Suicides are a matter of public record. A coroner conducts an inquest in open court. The suicide was closely intertwined with Debian culture. Hiding the suicide was closely intertwined with hiding Debian's real face. Yet doing that is a slap in the face of the social contract.</p>

14:48 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>When the misfits start one of these pestering campaigns, forum owners only see one side of the story, the five or six misfits clicking the "report" button over and over again. Even if this noise comes from less than one percent of the community, if the other ninety-nine percent are simply passive then the moderator might be duped or might simply remove a post as a result of fatigue. There is no button
14:48 schestowitz__[TR]; for people to click to "un-report" a post so the majority of people who value these posts are largely invisible.</p>
14:48 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>Many Debian Developers work for small companies, universities and some non-profit organizations. Yet a lot of the pressure in Debian today clearly comes from Ubuntu and Google. Ubuntu renewed their push for the mind-numbing DEP-5 copyright files on Friday, 13 August 2010, forty-eight hours before Frans Pop told us enough was enough.</p>
