I do use tarsnap and like it but in the last years I've found another similar approach that I do prefer.

What I do is create a local backup using borg. So I do get deduplication, compression and encryption. Once I update my borg archive (a few megabytes per day) I sync it to a cloud storage provider, like GCS, S3 or backblaze.

The reason I prefer it, is that I have a copy of my backups locally, which is convenient if I ever need them. Also borg is more friendly when it comes to managing old archives.
Unfortunately neither pentadactyl or vimperator support multiprocess firefox IIUC. The being said adding support for multiprocess is possible, whereas porting to a webextension doesn't appear to be.
Ooooh. Good point - and I don't actually know. [EDIT: See comment below, XP doesn't do Secure Boot, the following is moot for this context.]

So... BOOTMGR (Win10) is chaining through to NTLDR to load WinXP. And either Win10 comes with a copy of NTLDR, or pokes around to find the one on the XP system.

By my reasoning, Secure Boot should say "okay" and happily start the machine when it decides BOOTMGR is okay, on the basis that BOOTMGR will verify whatever it loads. The question is whether BOOTMGR actually does that, and seeing as if it doesn't then there isn't really a boot trust chain, well, it probably does verify what it loads.

I fear this is something only Microsoft would be able to fix properly for users who want/need Secure Boot. Slightly ironic. But thinking about it, Secure Boot on XP is kind of like deadbolting your front door when your walls have completely disappeared (picture a door sitting in the middle of nowhere), because XP is officially EOL now.
Guess I'll have to use an outdated version of Firefox forever. Tab Groups is absolutely indispensable add-on, and Mozilla was idiotic to remove this feature in the first place. And now they're making it impossible for add-on authors to keep working on their add-ons.
They're the exact opposite from my ethic point of view.

Gpl violation is a violation where the person didn't share information.

Torrentting 'illegally' is the act of sharing information.

If you're all for sharing an free flow of information.. I don't see how these two conflict I my ethical point of view.
While through many ways mind and body (physicality) are viewed as 2 entities they are one. Relaxing your body relaxes your mind. To take it further, physical exercise also makes you think better. It creates all kind off cocktails. Things like staying motivated with an idea, having energy, and not set back by feelings of failure. I also went through depression, and when I got to a better state off mind after therapy I was faster, sharper, more focused and more perceptive. It all needs to balance well together. Like a computer your as good as the weakest link.

Say you're one of the world's foremost experts on the economics of asteroid mining, and are employed by an asteroid mining company for a tremendous salary.

If you convince your employer to keep paying you while you do that, are you now a lobbyist? Are you being corrupt? Must you forego any income in order to make Congress more informed or to argue for universally beneficial policies?

I think that's about right. I think I just started doing work that sounds very much like SRE work to me: I'm building a CI pipeline, E2E tests and "Dockerizing" an existing Java-based project management product (currently only deployed as SAAS, but on-site deployment is in the backlog).

I'm trying to fully automate the testing side of the product, while making the process transparent enough to be amenable to manual intervention/quick tweaking.

After that, I'm hoping to move to automating the deployments, putting the server behind a load balancer, rollbacks, backup testing, all that good stuff that makes sure things only break where it can't hurt. Luckily the product is already pretty stable with the current dev/dogfooding-as-staging/prod model.

It's the most enjoyable work I've had so far. I think it mostly boils down to:

* I have clearly defined tasks, which I mostly plan in/negotiate with the product owner myself, so I have a large share of "ownership" of the dev/QA infrastructure improvements

* I work fully remotely and part-time, which gives me plenty of free time to socialize and decompress (we mainly communicate via Slack). I also have the option of working more hours, but I already doubled my

* I'm not currently on the critical path, so work feels low-stress

* I don't have to deal with under-defined business logic and product owners that do not want to commit to specifying (the product owner has transitioned from building the Java software to managing and subcontracting it, so is very knowledgeable about the product, and besides he's a great guy)

* I'm learning the tooling around the product through automating its development, testing and deployment (vs. learning it through adding crufty new features to it in a completely un-repeatable way, I'm looking at you never-again crashing Visual Studio Community and randomly-failing-builds Xamarin Forms).
And hence all the gag orders so nobody can determine how rampant the abuse is.

I suspect that the % of students who have difficulties won't be much different, overall. There may be a different distribution of when they run into trouble.

The interesting question is whether the group of students who have problems with other first programming languages is different from the group that have problems with Rust-as-a-first-language...

Looks fantastic, you might want to add an example to the demo, so guys looking at it for the first time have something to visualise/examine without having to learn to create diagrams first. Really looks good.
Types don't force you to have a concrete understanding of the problem (although they can help think about it). They help you make concrete decisions about your solution. This can save time when changing things often.
There is no we.

Some of the people decrying GPL violation also decry this kind of copyright infringement.

But, also, GPL has a clear purpose and limits itself to that purpose.

The traditional rights protection organisations have sought to extend copyright laws in weird ways.

In the UK "format shifting" (eg ripping a cd you bought to mp3) has gone in and out of law. I think it's currently unlawful to rip a CD that you have bought to mp3.

Backing up my purchased media should not be a copyright infringement, and I have no problem breaking the law to do so.
5 bons motivos para você ter um nobreak em casa
There isn't one. The actual argument is "multiprocess can break some /classic/ extensions". Then they lumped in "existing extensions can cause bad performance". And now they are using that bandwagon to remove tons of power from extensions.

I wish we had both, because I would prefer webextensions (proper permissions) but when I needed to I can still use a powerful /classic/ extension.
So let's say there's some technology for creating a clone of you, complete with memories, an exact copy. You undergo the procedure and the clone is staring at flowers while you are looking at your shoes. Two questions:

1. What do you see when you swap your brain with the clone?

2. What do you see when you swap half your brain with the clone?

My take is if we assume the brain is the seat of consciousness, the answer to 1 is flowers. But the answer to 2 is actually unknowable without experiencing it yourself.

So, while it is interesting to discover that disconnected hemispheres can somehow learn to operate independently, we should be careful to note the empirical limitations of determining "unified consciousness". We simply don't know what the experience of consciousness is like in split brain patients, anymore than we'd know it in a clone with half your brain transplanted. We only know that they profess to feel no difference -- as undoubtably you and your clone would as well post-transplant.

I didn't know about that. I'm liking it a lot, even more than Tree Style Tabs, because I just wanted vertical tabs, not the rest of it (the tree, etc). But as someone else has said they will just abandon this because it'll "confuse users" so it's like I'm using a feature with an expiration date :(

I think what you are describing is a replacement of widely known constructs (if, for etc) with an unknown API.

If this API is not understood then the code feels convoluted.

Therefore such projects have to contain a document that will explain the most common usage of the API to the newcomer. I think that this would remove most of the confusion.

Naturally it would be good if we had one most widely standardized API that most of the people are familiar with (like they are with if and for).
Illegal repercussions then?

Yeah, that is already done in animals few times and even in human cells in vitro, see here:

This is not trival change however given the amount of time that passed and that some level of adaptation to loss ocured. It would however probably be milestone in human achievements.

Adobe would definitely profit from languages such as Rust. But they are not a "tech" company in the traditional sense anymore, I don't see them investing in anything that doesn't yield high short term returns. It's a big company that dominates the "creative" market, because it can impose its formats on an industry that does not care about open technologies.

Monitoring is the last line of defense and is by nature reactive, rather than preventive.

On the other hand, testing (e.g: unit testing, load testing, etc.) is the preventive counterpart.

Both are important and necessary and should not be neglected.

I thinks there's a similar, simpler, explanation:

1) People who say they don't stress
2) People who say they stress but don't believe it's harmful
3) People who say they stress and believe it's harmful

I find the (3) group is the one actually stressing, feeling all the anxiety etc.

The (2) group just talks about feeling stressed, but they just mean that they had lots of responsibilities etc, they didn't suffer actual stress (the mental issues associated with it) like the (3) group.

Please remove your downvote. You shouldn't use it to disagree with a viable suggestion. Your comment made your argument nicely!

Ok, I agree with you. Someone needs to patch Java and other IDEs to allow breakpoints on periods. Double clicking a dot to set a breakpoint sounds like awesome UX. Why hasn't this been done?
>>Yes, but now we're talking about people who (likely) moved to Chrome because it just felt so darned snappy,

I think you confuse why people move to chrome over IE on windows. The normal every day user uses chrome for 1 of 3 reasons

1. They hit upon a chrome ad today or years ago when Google was heavily advertising chrome even when you searched now that is their browser and they stick with it

2. A person that works on, setups, or services their computer installed it

3. They are heavily in the Google Eco System and want all of the features and conveniences that come with using Chrome with google account (bookmark sync, alerts, hangouts, etc)

None of which has anything to do with Chrome's or firefox's speed, or security.

None of which Firefox can overcome or change by removing functionality.

People that use FF today generally fall into 2 groups. People concerned with Privacy, and people that want functionality that the other browsers do not offer

FF is rejecting 50% of their user base with move.

I have not commented at all on my own philosophy and I have not studied this topic even a tenth as deeply as the law scholar I mentioned in a sibling comment. I do think he made a compelling case that criminalizing the behavior to begin with has some corrosive effects, though.

"This war must end. It is time we recognize that we can't kill this creativity. We can only criminalize it. We can't stop our kids from using these tools to create, or make them passive. We can only drive it underground, or make them "pirates." And the question we as a society must focus on is whether this is any good. Our kids live in an age of prohibition, where more and more of what seems to them to be ordinary behavior is against the law. They recognize it as against the law. They see themselves as "criminals." They begin to get used to the idea.

That recognition is corrosive. It is corrupting of the very idea of the rule of law. And when we reckon the cost of this corruption, any losses of the content industry pale in comparison."

Possibly of interest, Lessig lost a US Supreme Court case regarding the constitutionality of the a copyright extension act in a split decision 14 years ago.

He authored the Creative Commons license and is currently a possible candidate for the Supreme Court himself. Note that he's not arguing for copyright infringement, but for a reform of copyright law.
After many years, Bittorrent doesn't cease to amaze me. Such a fantastic technology. Sad, though, that it is primarily known for illegitimate uses. This gives it a bad reputation and makes it hard to promote Bittorrent for more worthwhile applications. For instance, Bittorrent would be a perfect platform for sharing scientific data but when I suggest that to colleagues, they don't take it seriously because Bittorrent is perceived to be that tool for downloading pirated movies. I wonder how this barrier for adoption in academia could be overcome. Perhaps, with a separate network that is targeted at academic uses (think alt-coins). Call this network ResearchTorrent and researchers could use the technology without ever having to make contact with the whole ecosystem around pirated material. Universities could support this network without risking bad PR and getting in conflict with the music/film industry.
>Turning on cynic mode, I would say the only thing that matters is which company backs a programming language and only languages offered on their OS SDKs are relevant.

That's true, but for application programming. For the server side there are other considerations. WhatsApp can get away with using Erlang for example, and still get the sweet billions.
It's not uniform, but the zeitgeist certainly supports GPL or tech copyrights and disavows music and movie copyrights.

Google does not advertise itself as a way to violate copyright. This repo does, though.
Actually I am trying to avoid using GPL as much as I can (not very successful) because I do not agree with the intent of the license.

This has nothing to do with the fact that in my country there is very limited access of original content, especially purchasing it legally. I watch almost everything in the cinema that I can and keep torrenting (that is perfectly legal here) to the minimum. However, I think the ultimate solution is here, just like in other cases (like music) that distributors get the hell out from the deal going down between a producer and a consumer. Most of the torrenting is coming from the inability of distributors to keep up with technology and have a reasonable distribution mechanism that works globally.
I've never had imposter syndrome either. I don't really relate to your fractal example. My experience was when I was 13, my older cousin was bragging that he'd used up all the memory on his trs-80 making an adventure game (BASIC). I was very impressed until I saw his program. It was all if/else statements, he hadn't used any subroutines. I was astounded. That was an early lesson to me, no one knows all this stuff. That and the realization that these damn machines make fools of us all at one time or another :)

Everyone is just at different stages of learning. When you've been doing this long enough, you've forgotten a lot you knew before. At some level, 'refreshing your memory' about what your forgot is not much different than learning it the first time.

To be fair, the Trump administration makes it difficult to do reporting agnostic to partisanship. The administration vilifies media outlets that maintain an unfavorable opinion of the administration's policies and interests, even when that opinion is based in fact and good governance. It seems to expect the pseudo-PR relationship the media often has with companies, and has hinted at not entertaining press interviews with media outlets that criticize the administration's policies.

Under such a climate where fact is scarce, it seems that partisanship would only exacerbate.

You can be oncall from home. I found it perfect, just hanging around writing some code and get occasionally a page or two about somebody misunderstanding what production readiness means. :) On a more serious note, it is fun to work as an SRE, lots of problems you haven't seen before, many opportunities to learn about large scale systems. This sort of knowledge and view point that comes with it is invaluable for other companies too, you can move forward with your career faster after being an SRE for few years. (Amazon asks you do that for a year before you can move on to a different role).
Monitoring is also proactive if you are including distributed tracing and metrics.

A lot of behaviour in large distributed systems is emergent and synthetic load tests etc often aren't enough to reveal what is going to happen under hundreds of thousands QPS.
Metrics and tracing are how you get a handle on this and make fixes before emergent behaviour boils over and causes an outage.
I think it's also a matter of community. If you suddenly get a basic income and your friends don't, you might get pretty lonely and bored. Whereas if you had lived for a longer time with a larger community of people who don't have to sell their labor, you might find yourself engaged in projects you wouldn't have invented yourself.
anything "can" be ported once mozilla creates a API, even TreeStyle

The point is there is no API to do it today, and unlike the dev I do not believe the new API;s will be in 57, I see no evidence to support such a claim.

Further if you continue to read on the issue, you see the developer has clearly said this is an expermint that will never be mainlined and development will likely stop

"Having said all that, it's likely that at some point in the future, TabCenter will no longer be developed, and at that point, we'll recommend people switch to one of the other side-tabs add-ons."

he continues

"TabCenter isn't something that will live forever."

So no TabCenter is not a replacement for TreeStyle, and never will be
