Firefox Nightly has also removed the close tab and close window buttons that no one ever bothers with.

Positive: The device won't cut off your hands.
Negative: The device will cut off your head.

Maybe it's not so bad?
Positive: It won't cut off your head.
Negative: It will cut off your hands.

Still no?
Positive: It won't cut off your head, your kids are entertained and happy because...
Negative: For about 20% of uses shocks the shit outta you.

Still not enough? Ok
Positive: This device is great, doesn't chop off your head or hands and it doesn't shock you.
Negative: After about 3 months of heavy usage a small bit of plastic will break rendering the device inoperable. However it's easy to fix and you're a do-it-yourself guy. $1 at a local hardware store and it's good as new and will last you for many years to come.

Perhaps it's best to look at all the facts rather than just the positive ones.

Because only positive facts are relevant?

Why not just help the OpenSSL folks strengthen an already great product

Citation needed.

Yes, yes. Good job Cisco. Great show! Who would have thought a pony could ride a dog like that. Best. show. ever.

Exec Heap - as in you can execute binary code from the heap. Heap memory is normally only allocated for application data rather than executable code.

Stop bothering us with your facts.

There are a number of developers for whom we were unable to determine a corporate affiliation; those are grouped under “unknown” in the table below. With few exceptions, all of the people in this category have contributed ten or fewer changes to the kernel over the past three years, yet the large number of these developers causes their total contribution to be quite high.

The category “none,” instead, represents developers who are known to be doing this work on their own, with no financial contribution happening from any company.

"Unknown" means they don't know if the author's work is sponsored.

Sure they do, if it involves rhythmic clicking and break-dancing.

I grew up on DOS and can probably still fit more TSRs between 0xA0000–0xFFFFF than most. I grew out of it because, despite being very familiar with it, it just wasn't that great. I've been through many transitions over the years and the one to systemd was one of the most enjoyable. I have more control and I don't have to figure it out for every distribution like I do with those god awful shell scripts that need pages of distribution specific "boiler plating" in a vain attempt to make them robust.

I'm running a modern, full featured, OS on my decade old hardware. What's even more remarkable is that I have binaries from 2004 (coming up on a decade) that run just fine too. If I looked around I'm sure I could find older binaries that still work despite being built so long ago. I am considering switching to a lighter weight desktop environment, however. I won't trouble you by using the L word, but it seems to work fine for me without all that loud ticking.

The fact is that as long as they have an effective "tailored access" program they aren't fixing security. If the NSA can exploit a bug so can China. They're full of shit.

Most open source is NOT free (as in monetary cost). It's almost good enough so you modify it (at the cost of development time). The expense of maintaining that modification encourages sending your modifications back upstream. The difference is that it's cheaper to pay your own developers to do it than it is to ask some proprietary vendor to modify their stuff for you. Cheaper wins.

It would help if he actually measured something worthwhile. In the 20+ years I've been coding, I've never once picked a compiler on the basis of how long it takes to spit out a binary. There are just so many other more interesting features and characteristics to consider.

Click bait is a real problem. Use adblock and only whitelist sites that have standards. I might be the .01% that doesn't matter but at least I can fucking sleep at night.
