Getting bash to run was a major milestone. Getting that application (which hooks into IO, process control, console output, devices, security, among many, many other things) is orders of magnitude more complex than getting something like awk running (and it still isn't 100% complete). I guess, from my perspective, the major deliverable for WSL was bash. You could have gotten hundreds of other subsystems in the LTP delivered, and dozen of the major products like nginx, cassandra, etc.. running - but until I could hop onto the system with bash, it wasn't an environment that I could interact with (as opposed to my programs).

I guess we just have different priorities.
unfortunately I get

> OSX succeeds not because it's quirky, but because it is backed by a company with massive resources.

If deep pockets was all it took to make an OS succeed, Windows Phone wouldn't be dead.

On the desktop, OSX, Windows, and most Linux variants are all good enough. What matters is application support. For my job, 50% of the applications I use run on Linux, 75% run on OSX (natively), and 100% work on Windows. Can you guess which OS I use at work?

Thanks to Valve, Linux has a real shot at picking up some steam in the gaming space. Without Adobe and Microsoft, it probably won't go anywhere on corporate or consumer desktops.
For the record, there are no bad feelings on the Matrix side towards IRCv3 at all. The protocols are very different, and the design & architecture decisions in IRCv3 look fundamentally different to Matrix. In the end, Matrix is trying to be an openly federated object database with pubsub semantics - a standards-based decentralised encrypted Firebase, if you will. I really don't think that collides with IRCv3's aspirations, and we're looking forward to updating https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc with IRCv3 features as they land. We're also looking forward to IRCv3 stuff to add to https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ircd, which is a Rust server which exposes an IRC listener for the entirety of Matrix. The open communications space has enough threat from silos like Slack and WhatsApp without in-fighting, and I'd hope the communities can get along and support each other rather than the opposite.

In terms of the line protocol - we all agree that HTTP+JSON is an inefficient baseline for Matrix. It's just a matter of time for someone to propose a proper binary transport (although HTTP2+gzipped JSON really isn't that bad, and works fine on dialup speeds). Luckily this thread has prompted a few people to offer to contribute one though, so perhaps we'll see some progress there at last :)
I am not sure if it is a genuine question or a patronizing comment, but... let's use the principle of generosity right? :)

My idea is that most to-do lists are very simple and focus on a minimalistic UI. Which is great if you just need bullet points and have all of the necessary info to perform the task in your mind (or elsewhere). For my personal use, I needed a to-do list with more room to include more detail and register notes on every iteration of a recurring task. That's the use case of Dediddo.

And for what is worth, I do not plan to disrupt any industry. I plan to find a niche for an approach that is kind of lacking in current popular to-do lists apps. What do you think about this use case? Do you think there is a niche out there?
If a person in leadership has their private life exposed (fairly or unfairly), does that affect their leadership role?

This has not been a controversial question in the modern nation state for nearing about 200 years now in "the West" until several small but very vocal groups have implicitly been taking a pick-axe to what I see as a pretty basic truth: the difference between corrective action in the public vs. the private sphere is a restriction on the public side to objectively measured action. Private thought in general doesn't hold water until violation of actual behavior can first be proven, and only then is intent needed.

They're in a capitalist meritocracy, this sort of nonsense is just their hilarious attempt to recoup the costs they sunk into this project.

Branch off into your own community and accept that you made a mistake jumping in without testing whether your "leader" was acceptable to your standard of "tolerance". It's not on them to change how they run something you literally gave up control over just because it was convenient for you at the time.

Lol @ them listing their donations and time 'wasted' on something they had no idea or assurance of control over. I'm reminded of the Bane scene. "I gave you a lot of money..." "And this gives you power over me?"

Next time, get it in (legal) writing, folks! :)
Facebook doesn't need to be open in a tab for it to know it was you on that site, and you don't even need to be signed in. You and your computers are connected, even if you think you are careful.

If you have ever signed into FB from home, they know that machine / ip / whatever fingerprint is you. Even after you sign out, its still out. Even if you are in ingocnito mode, its still probably you. Then you sign in to FB at work, and now the same thing happens. They may not know the specific computer, but they know the network you are connected to IP wise.

This happens across many different ad networks, and they are all connected to sell ads targeting the people something wants. If you leave a potential purchase not bough, and sometimes even when you do buy it, ads are going to make it back to 'you'. They may not know 100% that it is you, but they can cast a net to try and find you. And for something like a missed sale, its worth the cost.

Note it may not be targeting you specifically. It may just be closer to: Someone in this VERY specific demographic looked for this instrument, oh hey here is someone else that meets that same demographic on this other ad network. Lets try them.

The amount of tracking on the internet nowadays is absolutely crazy. Visit practically any website, and all the major players are going to know about it and add it to their profile of you.

TBH If it's a food-related box for only $10 then I wouldn't expect to be getting quality. Don't compete on price! There's no "entertainment" value in eating cardboard (no dig on you, i have no idea what your value prop is or any details beyond "food related" and "only 10 bucks"). I also have plenty of opportunities to eat well where I am.

For $49 I'm getting something I can at least wear for a year. I know a lot of people (not me personally) who would pay $49 for a good t-shirt from some fashion brands. I'll get a few more things than a t-shirt.

The "marketing magic" certainly piques my interest, but lets face it you can't even get decent seats at a concert for $49.

Also I want to be clear: if this sucks and isn't worth $49... I'll clearly cancel after one month. There's no committment period that I agreed to...

> Goreanism is not a religion, so probably doesn't count as religious discrimination.

I've often wondered what the difference between a Cult and a Religion is and my best answer seems to be "4 orders of magnitude".

1000 is a cult, 10,000,000 is a Religion.

If it's a numbers game then everyone religion went through a stage where it was a cult (and indeed if you look at the history of religion lots of them where treat that way, Roman treatment of Christianity is a well documented one).
Shouldn't that be Windows' Linux Subsystem?
Totally agree. I'm fed up of the argument that goes "if you preach tolerance, you must be tolerant of intolerance", for my own understanding of tolerance. Yes, you shouldn't commit a violent act against someone because they are intolerant. No, you shouldn't have to accept their intolerance unreservedly.

I also have an issue with the part of the statement that reads along the lines of "we are against discrimination based on someone's race, gender ... or personal beliefs". Sorry, that's ridiculous. If someone believes Jews are parasites, I'm discriminating against them. If someone thinks women are inherently inferior to men, I'm discriminating against them. If I'm not allowed to react differently to someone because of what they believe in, go ahead and unplug me now because i cease to be a thinking human being.

Nobody jumped on anything when Canonical announced Mir. The only thing that happened is that the world asked a bunch of questions to Canonical and to Mark Shuttleworth and no one was able to explain exactly "Why Mir?". In fact, not even this blog post.

Mir was not a threat, in fact, thinking about "threats" in open source is so silly. It is not even suppose to be a competition.

For the record, the only person on this thread (afaik) actually affiliated with Matrix is me, and we categorically don't advertise but jump on discussions like this one to try to answer queries and dispel confusion & FUD.

The FAQ entry on XMPP needs to be updated, tbh - XMPP works fine on low bandwidth connections, and is typically lower bandwidth than Matrix (at least when using HTTP/1.1). The "not well designed for mobile use cases" was talking more about push notification support & history synchronisation, both of which XMPP has improved since.

As a South African, I can attest to the exact ads shown by the author on various site, both in incognito mode as well as during normal browsing. I have seen every one of them, and they are awfully persistent and incredibly annoying. Even selecting "Don't show this ad again" seems to do nothing, despite repeated efforts. Particularly frustrating is that there seems to be no way of flagging an advert as fraudulent or malicious.

Well this happened in all other industries that the tech has 'upended'. Stuff that happens to both guests and hosts in airbnb just can't happen in a hotel. Uber is definitely a poorer service than taxis - with some nasty stuff happening from time to time as well. This is unavoidable because all of these were done to optimize just one variable - price.

I frequently converse with people on the airline experience, and rarely get any understanding. People love crappy low-cost carriers with non-reclining seats, nonexistent legroom, no meals, etc, because that is how they can afford flying. Most people who fly now would travel by train or stay home if we didn't have deregulation and those crappy low-costs.

The laws of scale also dictate that good airlines are destined to fail, their cost disadvantage means they loose too many customers, and eventually their cost go up because of lower scale, and customer experience goes down because of less frequent flights and thus less convenient connections... they just have to become as crappy as low-costs, or die.

A generation from now, we will have a choice between EasyJet and a Learjet. With possible exception of a few very popular routes like transatlantic London-New York and a few others.

A nice exception is Russia where there is no deregulation, Aeroflow owns the sky and decides who can fly, and Putin pays for most of your (domestic) fare. I never fly domestic flights in Russia, and international costs are not subsidized, and not cheap at all, but quality is superb!

Gonna stop you right there - there exists no "record" this needs to be on.

Or rather, were there a need for it to be "on a record", such a community would already be failing their supposed 'without the community needing to know or care' ideal.

What is your suggested alternative?
1) I think this is definitely the case, but with the broad group 90+% of the clicks turn out to be fraudulent in my experience. Unfortunately the advertising networks have little incentive to fix it, but the current state is ripe for disruption.

2) As an advertiser I'd like to define the demographics in very simple terms of white-listing on the platform. Twitter doesn't need to find out who are cloud developers: I'll tell the 2-3 twitter accounts the target audience must be following, which I know for a fact makes the followers also cloud developers. I don't need YouTube to figure out who are astronomers: I'll tell the channels astronomers subscribe to etc.
All the main browsers want to encourage HTTPS everywhere. They're taking a number of initiatives to encourage it, some are carrots, some are sticks.

Mostly it's ending up as the stick, eg "You can only get these major performance advantages over HTTPS". Soon there is an intent to specifically call out non-HTTPS content very prominently in the browser, even more so that HTTPS content was ever called out back when that was introduced.

1. I understand the developer, I don't see the issue (wouldn't mind it being configurable but if it is the only thing that breaks XP support I can understand it).

2. I've seen it, happens probably once a month for < 50 ms when resizing or something. I can deal with it.

3. This is awesome, you go through it once and have every detail exactly they way you want it just because everything was shown (contrast to being forced to read the entire manual just to know what you can do). Great for discoverability. Take 15 minutes, quickly test out different settings and looks, reap the benefits for years to come.

4. I've removed the titlebar altogether. No borders at all either - Just a tiny (half row) discrete status bar at the bottom.

I think tolerance, professionalism, and pragmatism all fit well together. Replacing tolerance with "tolerance"? The track record isn't strong.

I don't follow the caveat for unethical behavior. Do you expect the organization to align to your ethics? Everyone is unethical to someone. The best we can hope for, I think, is to find a common ethic (no lying, no stealing, no verbal abuse, etc.) and agree to part ways respectfully to the degree we can't.
This is correct. Retargeting is one of the most valued aspects of adtech.

Manufacturers website contains an iframe to the ad networks website. They signed up for this by placing JS snippet from the ad network on their site that created the iframe. This allows ad network to know that you've visited by placing cookie. Next time you visit site that shows ads from this network they can inspect cookie and show you the retargeted ads.

Could have been FB in this case. Their ad platform definitely allows for retargeting.

CEOs serve at will. Their job duties include being an emissary to the industry, and leading the company's reputation. I say what happened to Garfield was wrong, but agree that the Mozilla board made the right decision on Eich, who could not effectively carry out his general duties given the PR liability he became - not of his own making even. They didn't say he couldn't be a part of the org. as a lead software architect, for example; he just couldn't be allowed to continue as CEO given the mission of defending and promoting Mozilla which the board is bound to do. It was strictly business.
At present, ads are easy to identify and block because advertisers don't trust the sites they advertise on - they want the impression to be recorded by a trusted (?) 3rd party ad server; this means ad data are easily identifiable at the network level, which is easy to block.

Until there's a replacement model for that lack-of-trust, ad blocking will probably be easy regardless of display technique.

My fear with LASIK (and the other procedures) is that there isn't (I think) a ton of people who have had LASIK when they were younger (like 20) and lived up to 90 years old to know if there might be issues as we age, or incompatibility with other procedures... I worry that it could cause problems further down the line, as we age.

There's lot of people who've had these procedures done, mostly without consequences but some with issues of varying degrees of severity, but there is not a ton of people who've had this early in their life and been fine for 70 years.

Though I suppose plenty of people were corrected in their 50s or older and lived much longer and never had an issue.

It has the added benefit of you being able to pick the terminal to spin up, and whether you want Administrator mode or not, on every new tab, so you can be working in a bash tab and pop a new Admin cmd tab to update packages using your Windows manager.

Rehabilitation is perhaps possible for certain criminals - why not give everyone the benefit of a doubt, but not an unlimited number of times.

I personally think that if a person has been convicted for battery or something worse more than once, the protection of others needs to be prioritized.

But it's also worth considering that the prisons in US (or pretty much anywhere) are probably not the best rehabilitating environments, so there seems to be room for improvement...
