Not as full featured (can't restore), but it's just a 77-line Python script. You could audit it yourself to make sure it doesn't upload your creds to another server.
Does this only backup attachments and images as well as text? I can't seem to find any reference to this on the site.

EDIT: Ok it appears gmvault encodes attachments into the eml default, cool.
Are you serious? Germany forces facebook to censor, and thats just one example.
VS Code isn't going to be able to read any files on the Linux side but it can execute Linux applications against your Windows working folder. So having VS code run Linux Python to test will work. If code-completion works by reading package source files installed in the Linux partition, it's not going to be able to do that.

For my development needs (embedded C/C++) this is not an issue.

> These are things that would be installed on the Linux side of things. That's where it falls apart in my head.

You setup your environment to run Bash.exe with the appropriate parameters to start the Linux application.

bash -c "linux command here"

This year I relocated myself and my family (four kids) to Nicaragua. Both my wife and I speak fluent spanish, but I was very surprised by how hard and how expensive it was. Some things I learned:
- Finding what you need is hard. We've got to buy a hula hoop for our kid's school. We don't know exactly where to go, and wind up driving around for 3 hours to find the right thing
- Small things are hard. We spend hours each month waiting in lines at banks to pay the electricity bill, the water bill, the internet bill, rent, the plumber, the reservation fee for a beach house. I miss bill pay terribly.
- Culture is vastly different. Where in the US I felt like our family was well put together, here we're considered a mess since we don't have a full time maid and 2 nannies. We tell ourselves that we don't care what people think about us, but you get tired of being judged all day

But on the flip side, we've been here 5 months and have already seen 4 volcanoes, numerous beaches with world-class surfing, my kids are starting to learn Spanish, and it's been a wonderful time to focus on what's really important for us.

I'd recommend it, but not to anyone. You've got to be prepared for this.
Depends on who you ask, for example, taking the top 50 products with new vulnerabilities discovered in 2016[1], Windows 10 got less vulnerabilities than the Linux Kernel and OS X.

This could either mean that Windows 10 has become more secure than its most popular competitors, or that researchers hadn't invested enough resources to audit Windows 10 properly.

Taking into account the results from previous years and previous versions (like 8.1), my personal conclusion is that Windows has actually become more secure.

Anecdotally, this news is what finally pushed me to set up automatic backups, and I can speak for many of peers for whom this was the final motivator as well. I'd be VERY curious to see their internal metrics (data egress volume over time, etc), and my intuition as someone in the business of data analytics/strategy, this sort of reversal likely has some chuckle-worth KPIs behind it.
In Germany it is rather a rule of thumb that the company has to pay the same amount to you as to other instituations (social security contributions, pensions office, long-term care insurance, health insurance etc.).

I know Germany's free speech laws are different from those in the US. Is the censorship you're referring to as a result of these free speech laws, or something else? I'm interested in learning about non-government entities forcing Facebook to censor, which is why I asked "a third party other than the state".

A smart immigration policy would take in as many of the cream of the crop in the world as you could convince to get within your borders. Those are exactly the people that you want immigrating. Or, you know, let top international students stay and work here and pay taxes, rather than giving them the boot back home as soon as they take off their cap and gown.
No, still do reviews. Reviews catch bugs and problems - not all of them, but more than zero. They're worth doing.

To state it another way: isn't it possible that the amount of freedom some people had in the last couple of centuries was rather anomalous? That our default level of freedom has always been very low?

I would posit both your and my "questions" are true. Does that truth make it any less worth fighting for? One might even argue, there is no such thing as freedom without privacy.

A environment of multiple, repeating alarms - whether "Stall!" in a
cockpit every 3 seconds, or a hospital room with multiple beeps, with
only 8 of 1455 especially significant, sounds to me to be like being a
programmer trying to fix a critical problem with a PHB manager hovering
at one's shoulder, barking "Another server crashed" and "Have you fixed
it yet?" and similar several times a minute.

Perhaps such environments could benefit from a button that silenced all
current alarms for at least 30 seconds, leaving the operator a brief
quiet time to focus, modulo new alarms.

Asking the annoying manager to go to some mildly distant place to find
an appropriate manual or checklist binder (that may even exist!) may
work well for some programmers and some managers.

For a more common example, spend a few minutes in the lobby of a
busy or understaffed McDonalds and listen to the cacophony of beeps.
Company centered & focussed on helping enterprise embrace open cloud, cloud native systems and help them realize value is fantastic.

I think the idea that speech is anti-fragile works to a point, but is ultimately a bit naive about the way that power structures and language works. Its entirely possible to limit someone else's ability to communicate simply by communicating. Speaking isn't the same thing as being heard. I'm not talking about speech that is merely offensive here. I'm talking about speech that is specifically designed to dehumanize and devalue others. Obviously the line is murky here, and I'm not saying I have a perfect system worked out by any means, but I think the investigation is worthwhile.
Yes, great. But if you are not able to get news coverage about your problem, then you are out of luck?

Yeah, sorry, Google. I once trusted you, but now I am migrating away from everything Google (except search).
I got the sense that this was far more than fringe.
Check tax rate in countries like the Netherlands.

I cannot complain about what I get here for that money, though.

I think people coming from a "sunny", southern countries (like me) would mostly have other things to get used to rather than tax itself.
This is actually really cool!

I would be very interested in seeing how this would translate to other languages using the equivalent data sets. Which language would be easiest to lip read?
Sure. I don't fault them. Just curious that Microsoft doesn't force a linter on devs. At google we generally force style guide compliance.

However, Thunderbird seems to be stuck in a development limbo... I legitimately wish that the 'Mozilla Core' approach like they originally created Thunderbird from either needs to be done again from Firefox once proper multi-process via Electrolysis is enabled in mainline, or for them to simply clean-slate a new mail client.

I remain skeptical though, as there simply isn't the resources or interest to pour into Thunderbird as they had when it was first created.

One word: Shareholders.

Most of the changes started around 2011, when Larry Page took over as CEO. That's when Google switched from developing open standards to developing walled gardens, killed Google Labs, started disincentivizing 20% time, etc.

(Check out the 10 year stock history for Google, draw a line at April 2011, when Larry Page took over, and notice you have effectively marked the line between Google being a company worth praising, and a company with a meteoric stock price rise.)
Using "chase" for the girl/partner part seems dicey. Agreeing to move to another country with your partner of multiple years is just fine. Finding out third-hand that somebody you kinda like but have never really spent time with is moving to another country and trying to follow them is unlikely to turn out well. "Chase" could mean either.

The purpose of stress is to quickly adapt the body to survive a fight. A set of changes happen to the body.

For example, the blood becomes thicker in order to clot faster when you are bleeding. However, with chronic stress, this can cause thrombosis.

Under stress, the stomach stops the digestion so that the energy goes into running to flee the danger. With chronic stress, your stomach is messed up and you get all sort of indigestion.

And so on. Many examples of changes that have a simple explanation but are hazardous in chronic stress situations.

Windows fan here. I hate PowerShell and I'd much rather have Bash built into Windows. Things I hate about PowerShell:

- You can't even run your own scripts without performing the Set-ExecutionPolicy ceremony first or signing your scripts.

- It's way too verbose.

- It's a strange bird that next to nobody uses, so there's zero motivation to learn it.

- It's not "old reliable". You can't depend on it working due to the first point and also due to the fact that they're still working on it and even in 2016 they broke some PowerShell stuff with updates that needed to be uninstalled (KB3176934).
I'm not sure what you mean by the entire makeup changed? It seemed that a lot of democrats were upset by the election, but I didn't notice anything that would leave me to believe that shills had left or ever even existed there in the first place.
