I do believe it supports trim, since 2011. Need to check the code if and how it's implemented today.
I'm using 2 SSDs in a RAID-0 with OpenBSD for 1 year now. No problems and lightning fast.
"...the emotional experience trumps the direct navigability of the site itself"

The above statement is everything that is wrong with modern visual styling of software. After everything is said and done, software is a tool which people use to accomplish a goal. I would argue that anything that causes friction with that is Bad Design.

As much as some visual/interaction designers may think that "experience is everything", they ignore that they are insisting on manufacturing and enforcing their opinion of what the users experience should be and forget that the user accomplishing their goal is the only experience that matters.
I'm guessing they are going to use a service that provides a list of proxy ips, and block those. It won't be complete, but it will cover the vast majority.

Someone should build a p2p proxy system specifically for Netflix. It would be pretty hard to block, and the risk for hosts would be low if it was limited to netflix ips only.
As a college senior, this has been my problem—constant context switching to "keep updated". It really is a problem. My resolution for this year is to just focus and get good at at most two languages and their ecosystems.
Javascript and other dynamic language like it are very good prototyping languages and for developing a quick mock-up to explore the pros/cons of a potential solution to a problem. But the lack of type checking and proper encapsulation turn into big headaches when scaled to a large app with even a few more junior developers.

Without a compiler/type checker to help spot obvious problems in code runtime exceptions explode. This happens even for senior developers. And the lack of proper encapsulation other than by convention can/does lead to an explosion of the surface area of source code that a dev needs to know and be familiar with in order to refactor and make changes to large codebases which makes for very brittle large apps.

Hence, I look forward to new languages targeting web assembly that will be more amenable to creating/maintaining large scale and long lived apps.
This, as well as the fact that recent years have brought on new language fatigue from having a completely new language with its own syntax and its own pros and cons being shown every 6 months. "Why bother" is important.
I truly wish I'd bought the Garmin instead of a GoPro (explains why I haven't touched GPRO since it IPO'ed). First, yes, the on-screen telemetry is a great feature, and it differentiates Garmin's product. The Garmin will attached to GoPro mounts. But no, at my wife's recommendation we bought a GoPro. It made sense, buy what's popular not because it's the best but because of the overused word "ecosystem" (see: iPod/iPhone).

The usability really needs work. The thing bellies up to the bar and just chews through batteries. On a motorcycle trip to Alaska I would have thrown the thing in a river had it not been for the fact that the fish don't need any more heavy metals to swim. For about the half-dozenth time that trip I missed nice video because it's impossible to know what state the camera is in without getting off the bike and looking at it. Sure, there's a light on the front of the camera, which is great when your subject wants to know that it's recording. However, the mountain goats were not very good at letting me know whether or not it was recording.

Most of all, there are no outstanding features that would make me buy a GoPro other than it's popular. Which is why I don't buy their stock (though I set a price alert, and then forgot to short it). As already pointed out elsewhere, there are other cameras that are probably equally good for considerably less money. I'll keep the one I got, it mostly does what I bought it for. But I'd never buy another one, nor recommend it to others.

Anyway, it looks like I kind of hijacked your reply; sorry. I'll reiterate: I wish I had purchased your company's product instead. :-)
It's funny how UX collectively misses arguably the most important principle - you design for a particular purpose. If the purpose of a site is to sell users some shit, no surprise the site will be dumbed down. Most of the sites are written this way. The sad thing is, patterns developed for those are then applied to things that should be tools. E.g. Google apps redesigns, which lose features and get more annoying to use every iteration.
When did sites become "emotional experiences"? I'm sorry I want to say something more constructive but I'm giggling too much at the absurdity of this statement.
Also pgAdmin is about as feature-ful as Notepad is so it's not hard to do something a little better.

Besides server explorer, VS also has SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools) obviously only for SQL Server, but I've never seen anything even in the same league as SSDT for any open source database.
The value of what was lost is irrelevant, but I think you're too quick to dismiss the value of saying whose fault it was.

The rational, utilitarian value of the search is the potential to prevent future losses by finding out what happened. That's the main reason why crashes are investigated in the first place: not to point fingers, but to prevent repeats.

It's hard to say what that value is here. This could very well have been a complete one-off. But it could also be worth a lot.
Do not manually change your server configuration if security updates are already available for your platform. Ubuntu is already providing the patch.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/1:5.9p1-5ubuntu...

*Edit : it does seems like a good idea to disable the feature on your local `ssh_config` in case you or a software you use connect to an unpatched evil server.
SCP/SFTP is actually a separate binary.

PuTTY is definitely not affected since it has its own SSH implementation.
What a huge coincidence. My phone autocorrect Alan Rickman to that when talking about his passing with a friend.

Very sad month, I have to admit.
Yes I see what you mean, they have their own servers to proxy but then are able to hand off the actual video traffic. So presumably Netflix knows which are the Getflix and other service tunnel endpoints. I wonder if it will escalate with Getflix and other providers attempting to bypass such blocks.
The emotional experience I have when I go to a site and see a huge image of some stock photo is anger: "Jesus, what fucking moron put this totally useless picture here, and how do I get to the useful portion of this site and do what I need to do?"
Since they hired Ben Smith from Politico.

Buzzfeed started with fluff and then grew a news operation. Most newspapers are now having to grow their fluff operations in order to attract enough traffic to survive (see: WashingtonPost.com).

I love most of the interface. There's still a few bugs that haven't been addressed, but it's 95% solidly done.

The telemetry capture is a huge issue for me and also no longer releasing the contents of updates. I've done what I can to limit or minimize how much information is collected, but I shouldn't have to do that.

When Microsoft released their metrics on Windows 10 usage (for example, how many times their Photos app had been used), people should've been absolutely livid. Who knows what else is captured besides the process list?

It's way too black box for me.
Nissan shuts websites after 'anti-whaling' cyberattack
Relatedly, I noticed the other day that I'm developing a flick-down reflex in response to seeing those stupid "hero" header images/videos appear on page. It's becoming an unconscious action.

These headers are the Flash Intro Page of our day. Unnecessary hamburger menus and obscured menu text are our version of Flash Mystery Meat navigation.

I blame Apple and iOS 7 for the latter problem. That popularized ultra-thin text-only "buttons" on a background image. It's a bad idea when Apple does it, too, but if you don't follow Apple's aesthetic your stuff looks "dated". A lot of perfectly fine 2007-2010 vintage sites have been mangled by redesigns following this trend, just so they don't "look old".

If someone develops a browser extension to somehow recognize and remove these things without damaging page flow and functionality, I'll install it. Bonus for forcing those floating site menus that disappear on scroll-down and reappear on scroll-up (blocking the thing you were scrolling up to see!) to stay at the top of the page where they belong. I've never once been reading something and been grateful that the site menu was a one-line-of-text scroll-up away rather than being in the header and footer.
Which is essentially even more damaging to the studios than people torrenting them.
Provider greater incentives for electric vehicles, place a carbon tax on petroleum fuels.
I'd love to see some actual before-and-after analytics from a site that switched to/away from having a navigation bar.
Netflix's announcement: https://media.netflix.com/en/company-blog/evolving-proxy-det...

> Some members use proxies or “unblockers” to access titles available outside their territory. To address this, we employ the same or similar measures other firms do. This technology continues to evolve and we are evolving with it. That means in coming weeks, those using proxies and unblockers will only be able to access the service in the country where they currently are. We are confident this change won’t impact members not using proxies.

I don't understand this notion.

I disagree that sending more messages before a response is a "universal trait of messaging" that signals social awkwardness and desperation.

I communicate with many of my friends of FB Messenger (and SMS etc.) and write my thoughts down quite liberally, spreading them across several different "messages". Sometimes I'll literally type a paragraph by typing one sentence at a time and pressing enter after completing each one. I guess it's a "fuck it, we'll do it live" mentality to writing.

As an aside, I'd love to see some research or discussion (perhaps someone knowledgeable can point it out?) about that very phenomena - writing very short sentences in succession over messenger and the relation of that to a in-person conversation.
I give him a methodology that seems to have been lacking in his education. Not the conclusion he should reach.

Maybe because I have a lutherian culture based on the belief that critical reading is the only way to improve the world and avoid the ravage of superstition? (Yes, the first act of faith of a lutherian is read the bible with a critical eye and refusing the interpretation of experts (called authority), but to accept discussion of other critical open readers on an equal foot based on experience).

Maybe I come from a family that knows better than none the effect of people the importance of books as long as they are read critically. Maybe, because my family is on the run since 4 centuries from various places/religions/situations around the world.

Monoculture is bad. Consensus is dangerous.

Basically I resent bigots from all schools of thinking.
You're right, but there is one key insight you need for your view to be complete: most websites are created to sell you shit - often services, which exist only to be bought. Their actual usefulness is pretty much irrelevant beyond the point people start paying for them. Your ability to use a website / webapp to create value is not something they care about.

As an industry we're hurting ourselves by being in this state of cognitive dissonance. The result is that designers try to apply patterns for selling people shit when they're working on tools, even if given tool is the "real deal" and not meant to drive sales by appearance.
It was JavaScript Design Patterns. Its not that the courses are difficult. Its just that they take time and good amount of effort to complete

To be fair, right where airbnb is cutoff is a massive searchbox for your travel destination. The NYT/news in general, they have navigation but they typically put breaking headlines/articles on the front page with links to othet sections. I assume squares nav goes fixed on scroll.

I know that friction is bad, however, I refuse to assume that my users have an IQ of less than a carrot. I am not exactly asking them to sprint laps by either clicking an icon, or looking in the place they expect a navbar and figure out they can still use the links if I didnt make the rectangle box they sit in white
Thank you for publishing the code for your paper. It's an excellent contribution by itself, and should help people understand and evaluate the ideas. Are you going to publish the TLA+ specification as well?
Mastering Ember.js helpers: Testing
It will affect any OSX that is new enough to have that code in it. Same is true with other OS. For instance, on an older, patched FreeBSD 7.2 system, we see this result:

/root/.ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option: UseRoaming
/root/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration option

... which means that sshd predates the roaming code. I haven't tested, but I'll bet my snow leopard workstation also predates that code.

So ... if that line:

UseRoaming no

produces no errors when you ssh as that user, then you had the problem and you fixed it. If it produces the error above, you never had the problem in the first place (although with an older sshd like that, you should make sure you're not exposed to other, older vulnerabilities).

After seeing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRb4zKBIt0I "Mayday Truth of Crash Air France Flight 447"

The main cause of the crash was speed sensors failures which trigger other actions. I can certainly see why the plane parts are so expensive.

I also scratch built RC plane with my kid. We had a few crashes cause by loss wire connections between RC receiver and the servo.

I was extremely glad it is just RC plane instead of the real plane and appreciate the real engineering / reliability build into the modem aircraft.
Yeah, typo'd it in my comment above. Thanks, fixed.
In a case like this, it's not everybody, but airline customers, and in rough proportion to how much they fly. Which is a decent way to distribute the costs.
Unavailable period or unavailable on netflix? I understand the moral argument for torrenting unavailable content.

But more and more I hear people say they feel justified pirating anything not on netlflix. As if netflix is supposed to buy you a pass to all content ever made.
Absolutely. How many users feel this way? How many users find this scenario unusable? How many reported feeling "helpless".

The author is making a very broad statement, without supporting data it's nothing more than opinion.

Which it is.

Because there is no data to support the claim.

I have never had to edit anything in .config in decades of using Linux. Dotfiles are hidden for a reason, you shouldn't have to edit them by hand very often, and most heavy applications (e.g. Chrome) have their own configuration interface that will edit them for you. I think the . is a fine convention for easily separating configuration space from work/project data space.
If I went back 25 years or so and showed my younger self the Internet of today, what would probably surprise me the most is how stubbornly we've clinged to political borders and the extent to which we've tried to graft them onto a mostly border-less computer network. I was pretty convinced back then that the internet would help to blur the lines between States, but it appears that the opposite has happened.
How does a client bug end up leaking private key material to the server if the private key is in an entirely different process (the agent)? Or is this only an issue if you are loading your identity directly in the client?
If an enemy takes control of just one of the hosts you ssh into, he will get your private key and can use it to ssh into any other box where you use RSAAuthentication.

Science must be done, not just for the sake of academics and the people in labs, but for the sake of those very causes people claim it draws money away from. Cancer research, poverty relief, healthcare and defence [bad example] can all benefit from a good dose of science. Even if not applied to the field itself some very significant advances have come about through serendipitous discoveries when somebody was doing something else. What matters is the scientific method such that the results can be shared and reproduced.

Specifically one could imagine some benefits from deep sea exploration in the south pacific could benefit each of these fields, but I'll admit that's spurious. But the point is, for political ends it is being done anyway, and while we're at it we may as well be "doing science" and getting the best out of it.
I doubt it too, but I'm willing to waste the karma on putting it forth as a valid alternative.

I don't know when everybody got so entitled that they were willing to go through whatever means necessary to get access to content otherwise unavailable to them, but it boggles my mind how comfortably everybody seems able to justify it.
I'm a noob to Mac, but I found a "Messenger" app in the app store which, while third party, seems to be pretty well done and easy to use.

Funny that this article should appear: I have been complaining about the Campaign Living website for a while: http://www.campaignliving.com/. The Campaign Living product concept is very interesting—furniture that's actually comfortable but that can also be taken apart. But there is no nav bar and few details about the product on their site. It's very annoying. Their desktop browser experience feels broken.

All this is terrible because the product looks so interesting.

Contrast the Campaign Living site with another startup's site: https://vanhawks.com/. This one has a similar big picture on the front page. But there's also a functional nav bar at the top. Product details don't get lost in the big pretty pictures. It's easy to figure out what Vanhawks is selling and what differentiates their product.
Atom Helper sometimes gets a mind of its own and runs rampant on the CPU, sometimes eating 100% of a single core even an i7 2015 MacBook Pro. Quiting Atom doesn't seem to stop Atom helper. It takes firing up the Activity Monitor and quitting them. It's ugly but it works.
Yeah, funny how I'm allowed to order a DVD from US or Germany, while at the same time I'm forbidden from paying to watch that show from a German or US streaming service just because I live a bit to the south.

How do they use it? Does it have a good programmatic access? Because UX-side, I'm surprised they still exist. I don't know of a single photo-related web site that has worse UI and is more annoying to use than Flickr.

And if I use react native, I'll still be tied to Javascript, which is one of the web technologies that people try to get away from when trying to get away from the web.

If I pick anything I'll be tied to something. If I (attempt to) write POSIX only code in straight C - I'll basically be tied to doing only things that can work in that kind of environment.
I would pose a more general question, why is it so hard to find a file in Linux? Across all distributions I've found in difficult to predict where a particular binary or configuration file will be, and this is one of the reasons I prefer BSD (NetBSD in my case) -- the file system feels much more organized and the locations are predictable.
An unsurprising conclusion but I thought the primary purpose of Zoning Laws wasn't to transfer wealth in the right direction either?
Maybe not at scale, but to some degree. About a year ago I went from watching TV series on streaming services about 1-2 hours per day to...well almost nothing.

Initially it was because I had exhausted all the series I was interested in. But now there are many seasons worth of content that....I'm probably not going to watch any time soon. Because my habits have changed. The time I spent on watching shows is now spent doing something else. A show has to be extremely good for me to bother watching it. (Like Mr Robot. What a great show).

I've started watching a few shows again. But now it is at the rate of 1-2 episodes per week across all shows. Rather than 2-3 episodes per day. And it is a bit...boring now.

I'm not typical, but the industry has to be aware that people can change their habits. And they won't necessarily change them back.

(So what do I do instead? I spend more time making stuff and reading / listening to audio books while making. In the last year I read / listened to somewhere between 55 and 65 books. Not counting technical or scientific books)
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials is a solid choice. It gets dark, but so does Harry Potter, so fair game. I would say late grade school for the first book, adolescent for books 2 and 3.

Tamora Pierce has written a number of kid appropriate fantasy books with solid writing and strong female characters. I have seen countless grade school girls get hooked on her work. Some of her books just start to get into more mature relationship themes, but it's enough to embarrass your kid a bit, not scar them.

As a child I enjoyed C.S. Lewis, but was personally affronted when I got to the last Narnia book and discovered that good story had been compromised for christian allegory. Lewis won't make your child a bible thumped any more than Pullman will make them an atheist. Just make sure you know what your kid is reading, and find opportunities to discus the material with them critically!

Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series is another excellent option. I believe when I read it in grade school I found the pacing too slow, so I skipped ahead a lot and inferred a number of plot points. Nonetheless, I'm certain I enjoyed it the first time, it influenced my view of fantasy literature, and I have returned to reread the series multiple times since.

The Hobbit is a great kids book.

Alison Croggon's Pellinor series is less well known, but perfect for pre/early teens that love fantasy.

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede feature a princess who runs away from home to work for a dragon. Solid writing, strong female characters, Pratchett-esque subversion of fantasy tropes. Fun and appropriate for grade school kids.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

That's off the top of my head. Of these books I consider Pullman, Le Guin, and Tolkien to be literature (worth an adult's time), while the others are just fun and well written.
