Congratulations. The return of Firefox branding makes me feel nostalgic. I remember using Firefox 1.04 on Debian in the early 00's. This was in the golden age of Firefox, when every new release was an improvement and it was a lean non-bloated alternative to other browsers.

In the past Debian was considered to be one of the most stable Linux distributions available. Stability and quality was a priority above anything else. However, around 2014 something changed when systemd was forced into Debian in a way that would never have happened before the new generation of developers took over the project.

Maybe this is just something we have to get used to, young developers seems to value ease above quality and stability, this also explains the current flood of Electron apps.

General question on Argo - isnt "Argo" what CloudFlare should already be doing? Why is it an extra charge?
Or just continue to be terse and shitty. Unless the also implemented a minimum, I don't see how raising the maximum would help very much. At least that has been my experience in forums for many years.
Father's Day Advice
Thank you for all of your hard work.
Why do you feel you need to change this habit?
The only thing I think needs changing is the bookmark management system.
I also have a ton of bookmarks. They serve as a sort of personal search engine. I just wish the bookmark manager would actually index the pages so that I can search through content as well.
(I also want it to be FLOSS and self-hosted. None of this proprietary Cloud SaaS stuff that can go away at any moment)

And as someone else said, link rot is a real issue. mostly alleviated for me by Archive.org + an extension. But actually saving the pages would be better.

Actually, that seems like a really good idea to avoid being tracked by facial recognition systems. Remove enough detail from your photo so that you can't be identified by a neural net, but can still be identified by a human?
Maybe it is a better interface, but still not good enough?

Or, do go solo as there is a reason some people do that too.
I think Instacart has to provide more to retailers. At any moment intense competition could spring from TaskRabbit, Google, Postmates, Uber or Amazon. They aren’t providing a service that has a uniquely broad appeal or combining their niche offering with services for adjacent audiences. Walmart and Target are already trialing delivery with Uber and Lyft. Major alarm bells right now

You like Apple's hardware but not its OS. I think there are better compromises out there, but of course, feel free to do your thing.
Hygiene is deliberately omitted.

Why? Because there are various different ways of handling hygiene, including not providing hygiene at all. A foundational model of MP should not 'hard-code' any specific approach towards hygiene.
We have an implementation in Nominal Isabelle/HOL, but it's not used in the paper.
Half of the technical committee chose systemd. None of them are new comers. The casting vote in favor of systemd was done by Bdale who is a Debian developer since the very beginning.
Cool story bro.

That's a different kind of experience. If you would want to build race cars, most likely you would want to hire a person who can design race cars instead of people who know how to drive them.

A man can be just as good at dealing with cultural issues related to gender. A man can have just as much experience in sorting out cultural issues as a women, unless I am missing something here.
I actually like the food. But I never go to McDonalds, because I can eat a full day's worth of calories in one meal and still be hungry. I don't know how they do it.
I personally traced the history of email back to at least 1971: https://eager.io/blog/history-of-email/

After writing that someone let me know about this guy and his claims, and I think I added a somewhat flippant section on it. Of all the people who might have 'invented' email, it certainly wasn't him.

Tag and release.

I use Pinboard and have 6.5k links saved. I bookmark things not to come back to them, but so I can get them out of my browser and off my mind. I tag things as they go in (the auto-suggested tags make this fast), and I don't stress about whether I'll ever look at them again. Then if later I find I do want them, they're just a quick search away. And indeed, I do come back and dig things out with some frequency.

(This is a piece of the GTD mindset, but since it's digital it's effectively free--no file cabinet full of folders you have to sort through.)

I’m afraid that most of this audience has an affinity for the noble business model Instacart has, but our morality does not guide markets. I’m extremely concerned for what this means for Instacart. They are now in a cloud for four years. Does anyone really think that within the next four years, Amazon, Uber, etc will be stagnant? They already have existing delivery infra in place, is the price of an Instacart acquisition worth four years of opportunity and innovation in this space?
IIRC some variants of the Minitel had a RS232 port. I've seen it used to program alarm systems on site.
I used to have the same problem(, I still have).

I had accumulated over a thousand bookmarks and was having trouble deleting them. "I want to learn {subject} some day, so cannot lose this article". Related was the issue of not able to close my browser because I easily can have 30+ tabs open at the same time. Again the same fear, don't want to lose track of that new article on ML.

Something that helped me relieve the pain a lot was to start using OneTab extension for Chrome. OneTab allows me to close tabs without feeling guilty. OneTab keeps track of the links so that I have a way of getting them back if required, and at the same time - it removed the necessity for me to bookmark them individually and organising them and obsessing over them.

So in the end, I still keep the links around in OneTab, but I have found that it is much better for my stress levels that having to hoard the links in my main (chrome) bookmarks.
Maybe you should try only bookmarking things that you can successfully write a paragraph about.

Why is it significant? What did it make you think about or feel? How would you like to use it?
It can be pretty straightforwardly interpreted as a reference to the probability of being born into one gender or the other, which is roughly equivalent to a coin flip (not taking into account the higher chance of being born male, hermaphrodites, etc.)

The canonical reply here is that while it's true IQ tests a narrow range of abilities, (a) it's highly predictive of various facets of success in life, and (b) "specialists" are relatively rare, in that intelligence tends to be fairly well correlated across disciplines.

Yeah, FSAE is pretty hardcore when it comes to engineering extracurriculars. It goes without saying that they've been fertile recruiting grounds for auto companies since their inception, but I do know more than one person who has gone to work at Space-X recently with this on their resume.

TLDR: a few bookmarking management tricks and accepting some basic truths about my bookmarking habits has really helped me.

I used to spend a lot of time organizing and metadataing my bookmarks - this was back in the day when I used Opera, which had better bookmarking capabilities than Chrome - but stopped once I realized I never clicked on most bookmarks and that I was just wasting time and causing myself anxiety because I had hundreds of links that I was supposed to explore in my todo folder.

Today I just use Chrome's built-in bookmark manager to handle 50-100 bookmark across three folders:

* "tools", "articles": these are references that I use frequently enough that I want to be able to find them through the address bar. I almost never bookmark articles because I know that I can always find stuff thru google (I have maybe only 20 articles bookmarked). Also, Chrome's internal search engine is so mediocre that it often fails to find bookmarked articles so why bother in the first place. It really helps me to remember that content curation on the web is so fine grained and available for the most specialized topics that I know I can get high quality links collections on any topic imaginable because even my very specific problems, questions and curiosities are shared by millions of people.

* "todo": this is just a collection of articles, clips, movies and music that I couldn't fully explore in a minute or two when I first stumbled upon the link. If a bookmark has been in this folder for more than a few weeks, I just delete it. Truly good content tends to be shared and re-shared by millions of people so nothing worthwhile disappears on the web.
Google wouldn't even need to create a "token", just let you store USD in your Google Wallet and let you cash it out when you want (venmo style). The user already has a way to pay online: their credit card. So: no new merchant integration to build, $0 fees, no security deposit (vs lightning network), no verification documents to submit (crypto exchanges), no network backlog (due to full blocks or ICOs happening).

It would just work.

Some of the "troll" problems come from people saying on the web what they've always said in person.

When you say nasty things about Brad Pitt among friends, it stays there. When you say it to your friends on Twitter, it can go viral and be read both by Brad, and people who, unlike your friends, don't get your humor.
I don't wanna argue, but keep in mind that I'm in Serbia and that I bought the MacBook with a "special financing plan" which the Apple reseller offered but not any of the generic stores that carry such ultrabooks as the XPS 13 or the Spectre...
But promoting a fictitious claim to wrongly acquire money from victims is only one step up from mugging people on the street. How can you promote a bad person with such questionable ethics. How on earth does being a bad person not undermine is credibility or qualifications.

Do you believe what I've said is incorrect? Do you believe that ethics aren't a requirement for public service? Do you think its OK to mug people so long as you only mug people you don't like?
Lets not forget how many different chat/IM/text applications that Google currently maintains; I'm sure if they had so much as a whim of desire to compete in this market, the MVP is already cooking somewhere on a Googler's hobby lab.

In all honesty if you keep the key on a server you might as well not encrypt the messages to begin with (except in transmission ofc, but hey, https).

Storing the key right next to the encrypted messages makes it no more secure than ROT13'ing the messages.
Yep, it wasn’t live and no MitM is present in any provider service.
Debian is already one of the few distributions that goes out of its way to provide support for non-systemd init systems. Beyond that, it would help if a non-systemd init system as capable as systemd existed; if one did, I'm sure that Debian would include it and support it. This is a case where the problem isn't "please package and support", it's "please develop".
Thanks for everything you've done for us!
Upstream Python specifically recommends against installing Python 3 as /usr/bin/python; see PEP 394 at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ . Beyond that, many of Debian's python-using packages are already migrating over, and I'd expect the rest to likely migrate in buster.

WiFi-direct GUI

DESCRIPTION

Using WiFi direct on most debian-based distros is a hassle, requiring a lot of manual terminal work. A GUI in the network section for WiFi Direct would make connections easier and faster.
Calling python3 for a python 3 binary is ok

I don't see how older python 2 programs can be supported without updating the hashbang line in a Py3 default system (which is most of the time trivial) - you could also have a dedicated virtualenv for them as well which would work - and which would (looks like to) be an equivalent amount of work as changing the hashbang lines

Switching to default Py3 is a breaking change and that's fine
Not all users who need to be considered are going to have screen readers. Red-green colorblindness is very common. Epilepsy has its own issues with animations.
He should come to mastodon. Way nicer place and a better feature set. Not to mention a WAY better UI. Oh, and no ads.
I would love some type of toggle, or "last chance to turn back" during install as far as being able to signal what type of init system I'd like to use.
Since it's certainly possible that blacks have genetically higher IQs than whites but are environmentally made to underperform, isn't that all the more egregious? Wouldn't that be an important, uplifting thing to know? Why not find out?

When people are anxious about genetic explanations, it's usually because they're afraid of one group underperforming. "Look, we know blacks score lower on IQ tests, but we've got to be careful here—they have bad environments." But actually we have the tools necessary to model outcomes like this. If it's true that blacks are underscoring despite a genetic advantage, eventually this truth will emerge.

So when people are worried a priori that an investigation into genetic explanations will disfavor blacks, either they fundamentally don't believe these things can be rigorously studied, or they're worried that even under fair standards blacks will underperform. The former implies unknowability of truth, the latter genuine racism.
-dbg packages never shipped full binaries (with a few exceptions for unusual libraries); they always shipped detached debug symbols. This change just makes them automatic and puts them in a separate archive.
Maybe the business owner could have bothered to read the law and come into compliance without needing the lawsuit. This law is not a surprise.

systemd was just a symptom. Multiple developers that had been working on Debian for many years, left the project in that period for various of reasons.
I understand why’d you think that it did/does really happen but in the reality, it doesn’t. As most of other political activity in Kazakhstan, words often get lost and don’t lead to any actions. That’s the case with MitM page that was published by the biggest provider in the country. It never actualized and I bet it won’t as the backlash from the worldwide community makes the country look bad. Leaders simply don’t want that, nobody does actually. So, please, give it another consideration.
As a former Debian Project Leader from many years ago: congratulations on another fine release!
And experimental is called "rc-buggy". (Debian has the notion of "Release Critical" or "RC" bugs, which affect migration from unstable to testing, so I find the nickname "rc-buggy" for experimental hilarious.)

The "archaic" Americans with Disabilities Act is 27 years old. And your concern (if we can use that term to describe a grudge masquerading as a concern, going by your language about "demands" to "bend" things to a "whim") was explicitly addressed in amendments to the act in 2008.

The ADA is the law of the land: if you're a business open to the public, you have to be open to all of the public, not just the members of the public who you think are most convenient to serve.

And history has shown that the horrible, terrible, awful no-good frivolous demands of the ADA have positive effects for everybody. Read up on things like how people with children in strollers have a much easier time getting around cities now because street-corner curbs have to have areas accessible to people in wheelchairs.
1. There is a 4chan meme that goes approximately like this:

Newbie: "Remember the time when 4chan was good?"

Veteran: "4chan was never good."

"4chan" can be easily replaced with "Twitter" or "The Internet" here.

2. There's a universal tendency for people to reminisce fondly about the good old days and contrast them with the ostensibly bad present. It has nothing to do with the truth. It is simply a syndrome of getting old. People were doing it 3000 years ago.
'Are you on an unsustainable path or are you on a sustainable one?' Well, that kept me thinking. Never did I ask this myself. Thank you for that thought.
We don't have time to dissect everyone's arguments on merit and perform deep analysis. It helps sometimes to filter based on obvious criteria. Like if someone is a young earth creationist or believes the moon landing was faked. This belief so clearly denotes a lack of critical thinking that dissecting the rest of their arguments that follow is not worth the effort.

The world is so massively full of such low hanging fruit that you can often save a massive amount of time this way as it turns out the majority of people aren't worth listening to outside of narrow areas of knowledge they directly interact with. Its a completely valid strategy. The danger of course is that you risk ignoring useful proof if what you assumed was obvious was incorrect.

I declare bookmark bankruptcy every several weeks by doing a hard reset after exporting all my bookmarks from Chrome and deleting all the bookmarks except the ones in the toolbar (the ones I really use). Next, I email that bookmark file as an attachment to myself in Gmail and a filter puts it in a bookmarks folder. Usually, if I am searching for something and can find a couple keywords in the title, the bookmarks attachment is found in the Gmail search and then the actual bookmark can be found by viewing the entire bookmark file.

It is interesting that he claims he invented it, yet ages that the RFC predates worh, but it's only a standard. Yet he implemented email therefore he invented it. Ignoring his "no true scottsman" argument, I don't see how he has a key to stand on.
One thing that I want to remind everyone reading this, including myself is a thought from "Forrest Gump"

"I don't know if we each have a destiny,............or if we're all just floating around......accidental-like on a breeze.........But I think,......maybe it's both" - Do we have defined destiny? or Can we influence the destiny with our actions? The answer is not black and white.

Life is like that, it is part luck and part hard work/smart work. The context, the skill set etc is entirely different for every single individual. So you can't really learn much from patterns.

On an ending note-
"- Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?
-Who I'm gonna be?............. Yeah. .................Aren't I going to be me? "
HEADLINE: Full audit of what's in "standard" and "important"

DESCRIPTION: There have been numerous detailed analyses posted to debian-devel that go through every package in standard and important and list out which ones shouldn't be. However, actual changes have only ever been made here on a point-by-point basis. (I've managed to get a dozen or so packages downgraded to "optional" and out of the default install by filing bugs and convincing the maintainer.) I'd really like to see a systematic review that results in a large number of packages moved to "optional".

This would include downgrading all the libraries that are only there because things depending on them are (no longer something enforced by policy). And among other things, this may also require developing support in the default desktop environment for displaying notifications for urgent log messages, the way the console does for kernel messages. (And the console should do so for urgent non-kernel messages, too.)

DISTRIBUTION: Start with unstable early in the development cycle, so that people can test it out with a d-i install or debootstrap install of unstable.
