This is yet another problem. Joe McGee shouldn't be able to push in your master branch anyway.

You can use git for deployment but indeed you must have a clear commit policy to do that (and it's a good idea anyway to push only major curated versions on master).
Yes, if I understood it correctly when I read the spec. (To be clear, this means turning both ends upside down, not switching which end is which.)

IIRC, this means that certain USB-C configurations require a captive cable because they can only tolerate reversal of one end, not both.
The "au quai" etymology isn't universally accepted, and isn't recognised by the Academie Française, who don't concede its use.

Generally, people use "d'accord" (sometimes shortened to "d'ac") over "OK" in French.

Me too. Not a great issue, though the XQuartz background thing kinda screws up Command+tab, it's still perfectly usable, if a little rough around the edges.
Language is not some inherent property of the Universe; it is an evolved behavior in humans. We can study how humans perform language; and when we do, we find the syntax/semantics distinction to be naturally occurring in humans. For instance, in my example, a native English speaker will find the second sentence "awkward" in a way that they do not for the first sentence. Similarly, a native English speaker will extract a clear meaning from the second sentence in a way that they would not from the first.

It is conceivable that there is some other language (eg. not natural human language) which does not have a syntax/semantics distinction, but that hypothetical language is not what linguistics studies.
But, if you use Google Voice number on your other Gmail account, they say it's not recommended because you can get locked out of both.

I think you can use Google Voice number on everything other than your main Gmail account.

So, to be extra safe, after you've set up your 2FA for gmail, make sure to change your recovery phone # to something other than your main telco or google voice number.

Try breitbart and thenation as alternatives, for example. Sure, some of it's drivel, but after a while you'll realize that some of the NYT is drivel as well.

And actually, if you just carefully compare NYT _headlines_ to their corresponding _articles_, you'll realize that the headlines really are pretty crappy. Certainly nowhere near the standards for headline writing we used to have in ninth grade journalism class.

I really hope to see a resurgence of classical quality journalism. But I'm not optimistic.

Hasn't dvcs-ripper [1] been around for longer? It supports other VCSes as well.

Also, the article fails to mention that a simple `git clone` would usually work as well, although that tends to be blocked in similar CTF challenges.

Perhaps you could instead pivot this idea. I think it would be more interesting if you could have the editor play back all the actions taken that led to the resulting commit.
Regarding reliability and resilience, the article conflates centralized ownership with a centralized architecture. FB and Google etc all run very distributed fault-tolerant systems and have an army of decent techs making sure it keeps running. In practice, all the clutter of outdated unpatched unreliable abandoned boxes on the Internet are the self-hosters. And whilst a single entity can be targeted by an attack and fail hard, so can other parts of Internet architecture that are critical such as bgp and dns and large providers and so on.

I have no beef with the political aspects of the article, and am an upvoter ;)
Hmm... I performed a quick test on iOS and, at least on my phone, autocorrect does not change "OK" to "Okay".

My experience both in US high school and college English classes was that 'okey/okay' is taught as a proper American English word, universally accepted as synonymous with 'alright', 'OK' being a contraction/slang. Interesting to read this may not be the case.
> I've done it several times. The ability to restore messages to a device...

Interesting. To be clear, you're not just talking about restoring messages to the same device, like after resetting it?

Looking more closely at Apple's security whitepaper, perhaps restoring history on a new device is possible if you enable iCloud Keychain. Looks like that would in fact share the private decryption keys among devices.[1]

Ah, and that more clearly points at what this iMessage change may be: Mandatory iCloud Keychain, at least as far as iMessage keys are concerned. Which would suggest another, hidden improvement: no more need to redundantly encrypt a copy of every message for every recipient device!

I want to add however that this still does not suggest anything about changing the security of backups, which was the implication of the article. Nor would I necessarily characterize iCloud keychain as "breaking" encrypted architecture.

I'm only nostalgic for retro-technology because it's what got me into the field. I might boot up a copy of SIMH and run a DEC PDP-11 image of RSTS/E or the like just to see it again and wonder at the fact I have control over a simulation of a machine I lusted over and learned so much from. That usually lasts about 1/2 an hour and then I'm on to learning something new. The novelty and innovation is what makes this industry so much fun. I can't imagine ever growing tired of it.

In terms of "good old times" I just lament the fact kids today don't have the unstuctured freedom to explore the physical world like we did. People today (from my perspective) have very different perceived risk than older folks.
Number 2 is a probably the biggest issue, and one of the main reason why I think it's overly idealistic. It isn't impossible to circumvent though with proper training, but yes very unrealistic. To solve that problem, what if only coworkers can see? (Assuming everyone is working remotely) I do think Number 3 is useful though. People are poor at documenting. In my opinion, seeing the process of what they were doing is often what you need to figure out what was happening. But as others mentioned, it's still rather idealistic because it's hard to index it to look back. However, in an ideal setting, with enough live viewers to guide you, there may not even need indexing.

Long time user of both bazaar and git here.

> To be fair git is junk;

git's UI could certainly benefit from some simplification ; this doesn't make git junk, especially considering that it's incredibly fast and reliable.

> it's just the standard so everyone has mostly learned it and it gets the job done, but at least Mercurial is better. Probably bzr too.

Bazaar and git actually have lots in common, they both have the advantages of DVCS (which seem to be often confused with "the advantages of git") (like, say, "rename"?)

Here are the main differences I noticed:

Bazaar is definitely slower, but you need an big-open-source-sized repo before noticing the difference.

Bazaar doesn't have "rebase" by default, but you can install it as a plugin and it works.

Bazaar has an optional "automatic push after each commit", which encourages linear history, and which I find to be more appropriate 90% of the time in a small experimented team (small and frequent commits instead of feature-branches).

Bazaar's UI uses revision numbers instead of commit hashes, this makes lots of things easier, like knowing which of two commits came first, telling a commit number to your coworkers, or bisecting without requiring the support from the VCS ( git-bisect ).

Bazaars allows remotely fetching one single revision from a repo, without requiring to download the whole history. You can't do this with git. The best I found was to loop "git fetch --depth N" with an increasing value of N until the "git checkout <commit_number>" succeeds. This is a pain, especially when working with submodules.

Bazaar doesn't have an index (aka "staging area"), and by default, "bzr commit" will commit all the local modifications. Considering that partial commits are dangerous (test suites generally don't track what's in the index, creating a mismatch between "what was tested" and "what's being pushed"), this is a welcomed simplification (of course, you can "git stash/bzr shelve" if needed).

Bazaar doesn't make a difference between a branch, a repo, and a working copy. All of these are repositories (potentially sharing ancestors) accessible through an URL. So there's no need for "remotes", you directly push/pull to/from an URL (no, you don't have to re-specify it each time).

I hope no git user was harmed during the reading of this post :-)
They're both vulnerable. Therefore the author shouldn't criticize Windows for being more vulnerable than Mac, when the Macs he promotes are just as, if not more, vulnerable.
Wolf Evolution and “Settled Science”
Search went through many shifts, but hasn't since Google. When a new technology matures, someone eventually figures out how to dominate it, and does.

The difference with computing was on-going Moore's law (forever young), which now slows/ends. Worse, though they still shrink, the cheapest node remains at 28nm. Cheapness fuels revolution. Peak silicon has passed.

We could get a new technology (like fracking etc and peak oil), as Kurzweil suggests for the singularity.

> I'm not sure I understand your complaints here

I'll try to clarify.

> I believe dosbox has support for hardware passthru.

There's a huge difference between hardware passthru and hardware passthru working. I've spent a lot of time fighting e.g. VirtualBox trying to get the simple task of USB passthrough working with relatively modern host and guest OSes, and failed. I don't even want to imagine the fun of COM and LPT passthrough, to say nothing of more proprietary options.

> and you can run dosbox on a modern 64-bit machine, so the idea of needing unsupported Windows XP (or similar) doesn't seem to be valid imo.

You're thinking of the host OS. Yes, I've run dosbox on modern 64-bit hosts.

You need a guest OS - the thing that runs within dosbox. I've often used DOS (what dosbox is named after, after all) or Windows 3.1 - both of which are unsupported and unpatched. These will run the 16-bit programs I'm interested in... and absolutely nothing else, including any less-legacy applications that have been upgraded to 32-bit. I could run those on the host instead of the guest, and that works for most of my needs, but now you get to manage trying to share data between the two OSes for all your existing workflows.

If you've got a mixture of 16-bit and 32-bit stuff going on, a better idea might be to run a 32-bit version of windows (it can still run 16-bit programs after all) instead of DOS or Windows 3.1 - this way I can run everything on the same OS, and get rid of all those sharing issues. Because Microsoft still offers 32-bit versions of it's OSes (to the chagrin of the author of this article), that could be a fully up to date, supported, and patched 32-bit version of Windows 10.

In the alternate history utopia for the author... where perhaps Windows XP was the last 32-bit version of Windows... well, XP is no longer supported, and basically no longer patched. I now have a significant tradeoff of convenience (single 32-bit OS context running all the programs) vs security (a supported and patched OS where possible), and that sucks.

Back to our current timeline, a similar story will play out when Microsoft finally stops cutting new 32-bit versions of windows. But for now, we've got our 32-bit Windows 10 guest OS running inside of DOSBox, VirtualBox, or whatever. And we've got our 64-bit Windows 10 host OS running DOSBox/VirtualBox/???. If we aren't actually doing anything with that 64-bit Windows 10 host OS besides DOSBox/VirtualBox... why not simplify and just run the 32-bit Windows 10 guest OS directly on the actual hardware?

#TheRoundUp No. 47
A few months back I lost my phone, so I went to my operator with passport to get new sim with my old number (in Thailand) . She said the sim isn't actually in my name but my ex-girlfriend's, and I told I remember I took the sim with her id as I didn't carry my passport with me, so I guess there's nothing I can do.

She just replied well we could change the sim to your name, didn't even check with the original owner and 5 minutes later I was on my way with new sim.

While that's better than not learning from the mistakes of the past, how can you possibly believe that there are no new mistakes to be made, or opportunities to miss out on.

GitHub's major selling point is mindshare/popularity, and git by default makes moving to another git hosting service relatively trivial. Yes, there are issues to transfer, but it's nowhere near as difficult as in the days of SVN, where you'd need to have shell access to dump the repo, or hope it was a modern enough svn version to support remote dumps (and that they didn't time out).
It is still optional on the phone and tv, but it is the official way on the watch.

Digital logic resources for youth
My son (11) has recently become quite interested in digital logic - designing adders and multipliers based on logic gates. So far he's mostly done this in minecraft with redstone or on paper. It works okay, but it is somewhat limiting. He'd like to understand how to design a full simplified computer. This is far from my area of expertise.

- Are there good books on the subject for kids his age? I think he (and I) would be okay with a big text book, but introductory texts or projects might work better. At least something that introduces the major components and how they function and interact.
- What are good simulators which would allow this to be created and visualized? I'm not totally opposed to doing this with physical electronic components, but a simulator feels like it would be simpler.

In my searching I wasn't able to find a happy medium between full professional digital design and super simple digital logic introduction, but missing the creation of all components of a simple computer. Thanks for the help.
As much as I like/respect/admire both Reid Hoffman and Brian Chesky, I find this podcast... terrible. So much that I had to stop listening to it after a few minutes.

I really hate the weird sounds and interruptions. It feels like a podcast designed to appeal to the masses, and to "overdo" every aspect of what a podcast should be.

I hope this is read as "constructive feedback", because that's the intention.

I listed to 10-12 podcasts a week, and I have never experienced this "repellence" to a single podcast, like this one. I believe this is the style of other podcasts of this series, if I recall correctly.

Am I the only one, or is there anybody else that shares the same feelings about it?
