  • This! Manufacturers were trying to lock people into their systems, just by different means. Reverse engineering a piece of low-level software (BIOS) so that you could run high-level software written for that machine architecture on different hardware was the main battle of the day.

  • For some reason I read this headline as "NPR chief" and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

    It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

  • "Free speech" does not mean free from consequences.

    I really dislike this phrasing because it does mean freedom from consequences, but only from the government, not private actors like these companies or the general public. The sentiment should really be "free speech does not mean freedom from social backlash" but I know that's not as catchy...

    (Also, yes, free speech does have limits (e.g. hate speech, 'fighting words', etc).)

  • The problem is this: regarding Netanyahu she says "Well he is very clearly a war criminal." Regarding Putin she says "With Russia it's far more complicated" and "In so many words, yes." She's hedging out of calling Putin a war criminal directly so she can plausibly deny it. She will agree with general statements saying he could be a war criminal under those circumstances but she won't say it directly so she can go "Oh no, Hasan called him a war criminal, I didn't, I just agreed that if all of those things were true then he could be considered a war criminal!"

  • I don't think anyone would fault you for saying there are 435 members of the house, especially because that number is also wrong (there are six additional non-voting members).

    If she had answered more correctly than the number of voting seats I wouldn't have a problem with it...

  • It means they're looking for incriminating information without any evidence it exists. They're "casting a wide net," to use another fishing term, in hopes of finding something illegal, even if there's no basis for them asking the questions in the first place.

  • Not gonna lie, once you're getting past single button combos, I'm mentally checking out. Ctrl+K and Ctrl+U in nano are good enough for me, and if I need to do something more complex like actual coding, I'll use an editor with a full GUI as well.
