> Humans are producing so much content right now in the form of software, art, movies, writing. Does it really matter if we leave some behind? Do we need to preserve every piece of information we generate?

Everybody should be able to decide for themself what they consider as important and what should be preserved. So I strongly oppose when the benevolent/malevolent dictator decides that you have to leave this piece behind.

> I have software on the App Store that I cherish that unfortunately will never be updated past 32 bit (too much work). But I don't care, nor do I feel the need to preserve it.

But others perhaps care. So I strongly encourage you to open-source it if you don't care about it anymore.

You'd at least be more aware of them though.

I don't think I've ever accessed one, and if I ever do it will probably be accidental - something illegitimate like this.

If I regularly used a site that legitimately used such a character, I imagine I'd be more in tune to it and less likely to fool for it.
So Safari doesn't hold the web back like IE6, because the ways it's hold the web back doesn't count because you don't want those features.

Not buying it.
Oh, absolutely. Where something can be scripted, script it. Why? Because scripting is a process development. You write something, validate it and then remove the human error element.

For things that you can't script, you write abstracted processes that force the executor to write down the things that could cause Bad Things to happen, and use that writing down stage to verify that it's not going to cause a Bad Thing. That forces people to pause and consider what they're doing, which is 80% of the effort towards preventing these issues.

eg: Forcing YP to write down which database they were scorching would've triggered an 'oh fuck' moment. Having a process that dodged naming databases as 'db1' and 'db2' would've prevented it. etc. etc. etc.

I'm not sure how much value anyone could get from reading the Daily Stormer or Stormfront. These are not conservative sources, they are "third position" sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position). I'd also argue that pro-communist, anarchist or tankie sources represent another position that is neither left nor right as it is also opposed to liberalism. Including sources that reject classical liberalism altogether would be valuable, if only to understand the views of extreme positions, but certainly not valid on a left-right scale (in my opinion).
I agree totally, the point is cleaning up app store. Most of those legacy apps are already buggy or consuming too much power
Sorry I didn't mean it to sound like that. I'm saying this to myself just as to everyone else (I'm using CSS all the time). The post was more an expression of dissatisfaction of CSS's ad-hoc nature, and in particular of how we've come to rationalize this HTML/CSS/JS trifecta after the fact as a sound and dogmatic edifice, when in reality it is just the result a 10 days code jam in 1996.

I've never heard of anyone successfully suing AWS/Google/Azure over lost data or downtime.

And presumably even if your notes are kept private, it'll still come out in discovery if you end up in court?

What are the risks here? I'd be interested to learn more.

I think an issue here is Google is showing "ɢoogle" as "ɢoogle.com" and not "xn--oogle-wmc.com". The .com TLD has no support for IDNA2008 so they allow registration of these similar-looking unicode TLDs. This is why if you paste ɢoogle.com in your browser it will show the punycode instead. Basically it looks like Google is decoding punycode for all TLDs, not just those that support IDNA2008.
I believe we need to work on a standard usable by those currently trying to MITM, which works with browser makers to present a nicer message to users, but maintains the privacy of their connection.
So "I show you X" stands for "I see X on the instruments" (as opposed to just stating X as a fact)?
>There will always be more desires for new jobs/tasks that could be done - but the market price for them will be below the minimum wage

That's a brave and entirely unsourced claim.

Given that this never happened in the past (e.g when almost the entire workforce was automated out of farm work), why are you so confident it will happen in the future?
You can use the exact same semi-trusting and crowd-trusting methods you would use on a blockchain. It's basically the same data, just without an extra layer of complexity thrown on.

Currently my time is split between JS (node and vue, vuex, webpack for frontend work) and PHP (Laravel), occasionally some Python. Primarily work for clients building single page applications. And yes I use version control and keep up to date with modern specs. Haven't touched WordPress in about 5 years thankfully.

That is neither obvious nor is it true. It is the opposite of what is observed experimentally. When the effect of minimum wage hikes is measured across state borders employment remains static.

I've seen three backup methods fail when it came time for an emergency restore, due to lack of competence, confusion and lack of regular restore tests.

Undoubtably that's a problem, I agree. Competent management helps minimise that, though. And I would not agree that the majority is existance justification. Then again, I'll disclaim that by saying I work in a Mech Eng. role, where process for safety's sake has been established and engrainedi nto the culture for literal centuries.

A good employment environment is one where you may ask why a process exists and receive valid justifications therein, but where the idea of not following it, no matter how bad, never crosses your mind. I acknowledge I'm really lucky to work in an industry that doesn't fall too far from that target.
Breitbart and The Daily Caller are definitely news sources. The_Donald and Drudge Report are news aggregators, and Stormfront and the Daily Stormer are "third position" i.e. fascist/nazi sites that reject both liberalism and conservatism.

FWIW the list misses a large number of right-wing outlets, but that's likely to do with the author's lack of familiarity.

I agree, for my workflow. I just bought a new laptop, and didn't even go for a pro model. If I need more resources, I have a 60gig ram, 16 core VPS I can spin up, but for most Java, Haskell, and other dev work, and for writing my books, a plain MacBook is quite sufficient (after 1 week to get used to, and like, the keyboard). I did toss my old external monitor for a LG 4K, a purchase I am also really happy with.

For fun, I am writing iOS and Android app versions of my cookingspace web app, and the MacBook also performs well enough for that.
In other words, Java 10, godspeed.

For the public record, by quoting you I wasn't implying that you agreed with my #2 either. I just felt I gained a lot out of both points, that they both resonated with my experiences, and that they both articulated the lessons I'd learnt in my career.

I'm usually on the apple-defending side of this discusion, but: "MBP wins in disk speed and battery" doesn't match "there is no alternative in any price bracket".

For the same price, other laptops seem to offer more power, in exchange for less battery and a few other niceties.

I'm writing this from a MBP (magsafe-and-escape-key mbp) that I love. To me, it makes no sense to say "Macbooks are just like these windows pcs but way more expensive", but neither does saying "there is no alternative to a MBP".

A lot of laptops are competing. Some of them are premium, expensive machines, with high price tags and nice features and quality. The macbook is one of them, with its own set of unique advantages, but also compromises. Some people think they are the best. That's it.
> I wonder how long it will take for people like you to realize what users want. Hint: they don't want to control, there are already to many things to control. They want to use.

I wonder how long it will take for people to realize that "using" means "controling" (i.e. "using" without ability to "control" will sooner or later lead to a loss of ability to "use").

GUTS Tickets | Junior .. Senior Full stack developer | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | (partial) Onsite €35k-€70k p.a. depending on experience, part-time/full-time

Are you a developer who loves live music? And do you want to join the ticket revolution?
At GUTS we’re not only building a product, but as a team we chasing a common goal: Stop disgraceful secondary ticket prices and ticket fraud. We don’t work to punch out a time card, we work hard to give fans what they deserve. GUTS is a ticketing system which uses blockchain technology to register ownership of SMART-tickets. GUTS makes ticket fraud impossible. The ticket can only be (re)sold at a fixed price, so no more disgraceful prices for secondary tickets.

GUTS Tickets is hiring frontend and backend junior / senior developers! We have about 2 to 3 positions to fill depending on experience and flexibility of the developers.

Our current stack consists of

- Python 3.5 / Django / Django Request Framework - Ethereum / solidity / blockchain technology

- EmberJS (2.10)

- react native

To expand our team we're hiring for different roles:

- junior .. senior backend developer. Experience with Python, Django, DRF is preferred, experience with ethereum would be nice

- junior .. senior frontend developer. Experience with EmberJS (>2.3) is preferred

- react-native developer

Of course full stack frontend/backend/mobile developers that have experience with a mix of the above technologies are also very welcome to apply

We're located in the center of Amsterdam (Leidseplein). We prefer people who can occassionally be onsite so full remote working is not an option right now. We also cannot provide visa's or relocation services at this time.

If you're interested in working with us, please send your CV to jobs@guts.tickets

Any replication / backup / restore process that is not regularly tested to verify that it works is fragile. Even more so when it's a series of manual steps to stonith, promote, etc. There's nothing particularly fragile about Postgres and there's a wealth of backup options ranging from logical (pg_dump), to replication (built-in WAL based), to physical archiving (pg_basebackup + WAL archiving). There are a number of cloud DBaaS vendors that run huge fleets of Postgres databases (Heroku and Amazon RDS come to mind). This is a solved problem.

The root of this clusterfuck for GitLab is that they didn't test anything. Looks like there was some cargo culting of "Yah we need backups so let's run something ... yada yada S3 ..." but no verification of anything actually being backed up, or error alerts for missed backups, let alone testing a full restoration from said backups.

This shouldn't affect you at all. Your devices are 32-bit so will continue to run the 32-bit apps you have already bought or downloaded for free.

Apple keeps old copies of apps for old versions of the OS almost for ever. My youngest was using my old iPhone 3GS until last September. I was still able to download an app from the App Store I bought for it long ago, but which hasn't been available to buy in the store for years and only supported ancient versions of the OS.
I also regularly read Breitbart and can attest that none of these supposed attitudes are the reason for the comments you're seeing. There are genuine reasons to oppose e.g. BLM or muslim immigration that aren't backed by racism and the automatic attribution that you're displaying is exactly a symptom of people walling themselves off from people of the opposite opinion.

Breitbart is actually reasonably mainstream, and despite what you may have read, Steve Bannon is not a neo-nazi. At least, as far as I can tell from the flimsy "evidence" that has been provided.
The article does mention some more quantitative methods for estimating potency, including working from recipes.

Dr. Sumner may have reasons for doubting the efficacy of these methods. On reflection, I suspect that the article has mixed up two different arguments by Dr. Sumner, one about the estimates of potency, and a different one about how or whether we should judge these allegedly inebriated societies.

Of course, Hogarth (among others) had something to say at what I think was a slightly later time, about the effects of cheap gin.
