If you run your own VPN will they not just log traffic from the endpoint (if in the UK) then tie it to you with billing records?
Tiling window managers like i3 seem to allow the perfect mixture of terminal and graphics. After spending some time using i3 I've noticed (when using for work, etc.)that desktop environments universally seem extremely inefficient and slow. For certain types of tasks a mouse is essential, but being forced to use it for nearly everything in OSX seems like a massive waste of time. I'd like to see a study on efficiency among proficient users of desktop environments and proficient users of WM. Users who view themselves as fluent in an OSX desktop environment and users who view themselves as fluent in a WM(say i3) probably spend different amounts of time executing the same tasks. IMO not having to use the mouse as frequently seems like a tremendous efficiency booster.
There is no supporting infrastructure for this at the moment, even if you presume, that they stole secret keys from some CAs.

Call me unimaginative, but I think fingers are good at manipulation more so than hand signs. So I can imagine either stuff like 3d modelling tasks, or when you're interacting with a 3d world (think games). Smush-deforming play doh with your hand is so much quicker and more precise than trying to do the same with a mouse or shudder keyboard. Or imagine doing knitting.

I think hands are great when there is a massive multitude of possible next actions, like the knitting example, or artistic applications. Otherwise, if we can logically eliminate options of what the user could be doing (this object can only go in so many slots, etc), it's easy to just assist the user with that (think snap-to-grid) and then a precision input device is less necessary.
> Maybe that's the difference between the (for lack of a better term) BSD philosophy vs. RMS

I like your characterization of this, but keep in mind you're proceeding to apply a moral dimension here ;)

> I wonder if an individual's preference of copyleft vs. permissive is correlated with whether they think humans are inherently evil, vs. humans being inherently good or neutral. As cynical and pessimistic as I feel about humanity sometimes, deep down I do have a conviction that people are inherently good.

Most people have an internal narrative whereby they are doing good, yet we still get emergent evil behavior. I tend to look at good/evil in terms of describing constructive end results, rather than as intent behind individual actions.

Pragmatically, I'm seeing an awful lot of Free software that has been locked down through one scheme or another, making it non-Free for its end users. Since the intention of at least some of this software was to be Free for end users, I'd say nullifying that goal is moving in an evil direction.

While fewer restrictions is indeed "simpler", such a regime isn't necessarily sufficient to achieve certain goals. When something is existentially defined as "base primitives", complexity will build on top of it to undermine the goals that fostered the axioms. Only by defining universal quantifications on behavior can specific qualities be preserved through time.

If a group of big players are keeping the price high artificially then it will be easy for them to drop the price until the "startup chicken ranchers" go out of business. I'm sure there are economies of scale involved, and they can probably drop to the true market price while still keeping a better profit margin than the startup chicken farmers.

I started switching to fastmail due to their economical family plan but then they changed plan structures to where that is no longer available and the new plans were all a lot more expensive for a family.

I don't think I want to get into what is or is not security, but what I will say is that rust's security does not interfere with safety net features, like sandboxing.

I've found that sandboxing rust is quite easy, as easy as C or C++. I find it much easier than Java/ Python, which have runtimes that can often make things difficult (you certainly would not want to use seccomp in either).

Take a look at DropBox's Brotli - it's a great example of this. It makes use of seccomp, but seccomp is not available on all platforms, so it also relies on rust's safety.
"A new leader will be elected, they'll flip the switch, say that because of the crisis, because of the dangers that we face in the world - some new and unpredicted threat - we need more authority, we need more power.

Speaking of Brave, how does it perform in terms of web standards compliance, amount of trackers and ads blocked, and RAM and CPU usage compared to Firefox + uBlock Origin and/or uMatrix?

---

Edit: I decided to do a quick test using panopticlick. Here are the results.

- Firefox with uBlock Origin and uMatrix: fingerprint appears to be unique. fingerprint conveys at least 17.47 bits of identifying information.

- Brave: fingerprint appears to be unique. fingerprint conveys at least 17.47 bits of identifying information.

- Chromium (plain): fingerprint appears to be unique. fingerprint conveys at least 17.47 bits of identifying information.

- Tor Browser Bundle: one in 77.02 browsers have the same fingerprint. fingerprint conveys 6.27 bits of identifying information.

Wrong direction of layering, and thus of limited use imho.

Of the two OSes, the weaker link, security-wise, is definitely Windows 10 rather than Linux. Putting Linux programs under a Windows 10 abstraction layer means that any malware, bugs or "bugs" (remember, this is proprietary software) in Windows 10 have the ability to transparently subvert or surveil the Linux programs.

In this aspect, WSL is just like putting a Linux VM on a Windows host (albeit more performant and convenient, yes).

Having trouble relating to "The Other" is pretty universal this election cycle. Like the multitudes who believe that everyone who supports Trump is a Racist.

The standard, and in my opinion most useful, definition of a racist is "a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another" not "having having trouble relating to people of different backgrounds". That's not racist, its just human.

>Creating safe situations where she was forced to speak is the #1 technique to treat that condition. //

I was reading a piece on psychological mutism and the writer stated that the worst possible thing to do was attempt to force the child in to situations where they had to speak. There reasoning was that this lead to stress which increased the chances they wouldn't speak.

Sorry I can't cite the piece as I've lost the reference.

You're perhaps leaning that way? It hinges around what you mean by "force".

I agree with KirinDave. I've been using it since the first insider preview that had it. Back then, most of the workflows I use (mostly frontend development, npm/gulp/webpack/php, that kind of stuff) ran into some sort of problem. Right now, I use Bash for about 90% of my commandline needs, only occasionally reverting to cmd. Bugs are few and far between (though still breaking in a lot of cases, so we're firmly in beta territory yet). In the latest builds it's possible to use windows executables from Bash (for me that's mainly Atom), which has upped my use by a few more percent.

One annoying thing is that PHP's built-in webserver (which is also used by Laravel for it's development server) causes file read errors under WSL. Easy enough to avoid until they fix it though, by setting up Apache in Ubuntu or a local LAMP stack on the Windows side.

EDIT: Misinformed, see wfunction's comment below.

I can understand their frustration, because this is probably really hard to fix.

I guess there would not be problems if Windows apps were not overwriting files by first deleting them and then re-creating them with new contents. It's easy to see why this leads to data loss (file permission metadata is data in the Unix world). You rarely see Unix apps re-creating files: there you instead you specify the behaviour in case the file exists with the flags of the open(2) call.

I guess such contract is absent / not as strict in the Windows world (disc: I have never programmed for Windows), which would make solving the conflicting APIs almost impossible: if a re-created file would inherit a previously deleted synonymous file's permissions, what happens to a program who is deleting a file exactly to get rid of its permissions?

I think MS has done pretty impressive work with the Linux subsystem. It is certainly not a trivial task, and I am looking forward to seeing more awesome stuff running on Windows.
One could also argue that an editor that loses extended file attributes when editing a file is broken.

I would have preferred msft to have posted an article explaining that files have attributes and editors must not loose those attributes when making edits.
I'm also a fan of this approach, and am currently learning Erlang because of it. However, I do not feel that the approaches are exclusive.

Erlang is dynamically typed and it is robust because Actors act as isolation boundaries and are managed by supervisors. So the approach is "bugs happen, always recover". You can also use type annotations in Erlang to get "bugs happen less, always recover".
Crumple zones, seat belts, and air bags are a far cry from setting hard limits on performance characteristics of the vehicle, even if those same requirements may have had a negligible impact on vehicle performance.

It's a rather incoherent message. First, they state:

"Take action to dismantle the NSA"

which shouldn't be too difficult, just revoke the 1952 Presidential Order and defund them from the intelligence budget.

Then:

"The NSA has turned the Internet into a weapon, collecting everything it can. "

OK going steady so far, still on-message. All n-billion people on the Internet are in the dragnet and we're all nodding in agreement.

But then, when they enumerate their actual action-points:

"Delete the data stored on Americans, and demolish the physical infrastructure needed to collect this data. "

So it's not dismantling they actually want but blunting. Still want to keep the NSA to spy on those nasty non-persons abroad.

Look I don't have a problem with Americans calling for the NSA to stop spying on Americans, that's your internal problem. But please don't wrap it up in hyperbole about 'dismantling' the NSA if you don't actually mean that.
"Google eventually accepted a CTS patch to check for the ADUPS system socket. That should have solved the problem, but then Mediatek just changed the name of the socket to purposely evade Google’s CTS check."

That just left me gaping at the sheer brass required to do this, but I understand how it could happen. I'm sure there are some people who want to fix the problem, and others who say "Why bother? We may lose a few technically savvy (aka pain in the neck) end users, but the great unwashed are never going to know or care about whether this was fixed. Our customers know that their customers are the great unwashed, so they aren't going to care either as long as we're cheaper for them."

Or TL;DR, "Screw 'em, what are they going to do, organize a boycott by people who think chips are something you eat?"

The other issue with speech to text is discoverability both for commands and the object of the command. This presumably becomes less of an issue as natural language processing gets better.

That's probably my favorite thing about Macs. The unix/emacs-like keybindings like C-f, C-b, C-n, C-p to move the cursor, C-c to kill a process in the terminal, etc and the Windows-like keybindings like ⌘-c, ⌘-v, ⌘-x for copy, paste, cut, ⌘-n for new window, etc both exist by default without colliding. I can get this on Linux if I spend a week remapping things but not by default. As far as I can tell, there's no way to get this on Windows.

Many people here wondering how you can end up with JSON this bad, and who is "sending" it to them. Well, the poster is not neccessarily running a REST service. At work, I've dealt with plenty of little JSON (and XML) files, created by "little tools" and passed around via files and pipes. Since I work in science, most of our coders are the users of their code, so you can imagine both code quality and UX are poor. And the main reason something like this happens is that people don't use proper serialization, because they never heard of it, or they don't have the right tools. They just construct JSON by string interpolation. If they are lucky, they remember to replace `'` with `\"`. In fact, that looks a lot like what happened here (plus one or two levels of escaping).

Appropos escaping, people are most likely to do this if they never wrote PHP websites as kids and never went through `urlencode` and `mysql_escape_string` hell.
