Mackup [1] might also be worth considering. It symlinks all of your config files to a supported storage location (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, Git etc.) which enables you to either backup the settings or sync them between one or more other Macs.

Indeed, many sysadmins of the time lauded qmail's lack of supporting "standard features" in the name of "security" which sadly was still a new concept on the Internet.

Something to consider: SMTP over TLS offers some privacy and confidentiality between two mail servers that have established a trust relationship, but it offers no protection against an upstream network (who can simply fake some DNS records and get a letsencrypt certificate) or a state actor (who simply threatens the CA). I think referring to "SMTP over TLS" as "secure" is dangerous because it leads us to equate "more code" as providing security.

3 Glorious Mistakes to Avoid in Story Maps
I think the main point of the article is that this isn't the main point.

This sport has no safety margin. The reasons this margin is insufficient for beginners and experts differ.
The 'singular worldview' is the multibillion dollar market that consumer represents and that makes people put large sums into VC funds. A $100M market that consists of niche applications is far less interesting. The hype was astronomical, so the resultant backlash is of course well-deserved.
The whole article is essentially a long moan about how things have changed, and how the beancounters would like things to go back to normal because right now they no longer understand how to add stuff up.

Example: "tiny payments for digital contributions might correct yet another problem, a misallocation of labour. If companies paid people for useful data, rather than mopping up what they leave behind as they use online services, then prices could nudge people towards more productive online activity."

Correct a problem? A problem for who? Neither the consumer nor the provider appear to be in any kind of trouble. The use of "mopping up" implies that the acquisition of data is somehow accidental, and simple an act of unwanted stuff discarded by the visitor, whilst in truth it is an aggressive and intelligent machine that flenses data from the visitor. Finally "productive online activity" is completely fucking meaningless in this context. productive how? for whom?

A mechanical watch is a beautiful little creature living on my arm. I love to take off my automatic Seiko and enjoy looking at the pulsating balance wheel through the transparent back. It reminds me of a heart beating. If I don't feed it enough by moving my arm it goes into sleep. Then I have to wake it up by shaking it or by operating the manual wind.

I am a reasonable person - I wouldn't spend excessive amount of money on a watch. Mine did cost 300 Euro - that's the right price and you can get a very nice one if you look around. I even took the hassle of importing it from Japan.

I really hate to say this, but for me the vegan cheeses are not "there yet" - or at least the ones sold locally in Stockholm. Which I think is a real issue with this kind of stuff - from living between countries I've noticed for example that the Netherlands has much better meat replacements, but Sweden has the better milk replacements, and I don't think the local vegan cheeses are made the way you describe.

It might be my Dutch privilege of growing up in the country-side close to a real cheese farm, but almost every vegan cheese I've tried here has a dissapointing "margarine" taste/texture - that weird watery feeling compared to real butter. I'm sure someone will figure how to recreate something resembling the missing taste/texture eventually though. (also to be clear: it doesn't have to taste like cheese, I just want it to taste in such a way that I don't miss it, and part of that is not tasting like margarine). But again, maybe it's an issue of knowledge not being wide-spread enough to create good local alternatives.

The French version of their FAQ at http://www.oatly.com/faq/ (but not other language versions, for whatever reason) says that they feed whatever is left to animals. Here is the whole question ran through Google Translate:

What do we do with waste from the manufacture of oat beverages?

We work as much for sustainable consumption of food as for a sustainable production of these products. Regarding the consumption of food, it is indisputable that a sustainable diet for the future contains far fewer animal products than we eat today, there is even a great unanimity on this subject in all sciences of this disciplined. In sustainable food production, we believe that the crops of the future will be much more than they are today, focusing directly on food rather than animal feed.

Any production of food products, even based on vegetable raw materials, also generates waste. It is not always possible to use the entire raw material in the final product. In the case of oat beverages, we remove some of the insoluble fiber which results in a loss of nutrients, which are extracted with the insoluble fraction. Efforts to achieve sustainable food production are largely based on sobriety in the use of resources. Regarding waste, we believe that their most sustainable management is to exploit the remaining food and energy in the form of food by making them the ingredients of animal fodder that are still high. All this to benefit from the food produced. In the next step, when all the food has been used as fodder, the final waste is biogas.
This a humongous generalization.

That solution does not work it will just increase the number of people driving without a license. For example, in France, the driving license is quite hard to obtain, you need around 20-30h hours of tutoring before you can attempt the test and it's not a sure thing to get it. So the consequence is that there is a lot of drivers without license, who are implicated in a high number of accidents.

>"Detest" and "despise" are not synonyms. To detest is to speak out against; to despise is to look down upon. Their roots come directly from Latin/French. If you detest something, you are issuing speech which indicates that you dislike it. If you despise something, you have observed it and disliked your observation (or, more usually, something about the detail of the observation!)

Not for the last 2-3 centuries it is not. For people reading Beowulf in the first edition, maybe.

Detest

1. to feel abhorrence of; hate; dislike intensely. (dictionary.com)

1 to feel intense and often violent antipathy toward : loathe detests politics They seem to truly detest each other.
2 obsolete : curse, denounce
(Merriam-Webster)

1. to hate someone or something very much (Cambridge dictionary)

1. Dislike intensely (Oxford dictionary)

>Their roots come directly from Latin/French.

Which is irrelevant as to their current meaning.

Now, we are not that different. My correction is also driven by the same joy of correcting others that makes people learn some obscure obsolete factoid and insist on it as if the whole world is wrong and they are right. The only difference is I'm right :-)

It is a subtyping relationship. Bash's command line is a (minimalistic) REPL, but not all REPL are like Bash's command line. In most contexts, talking about REPLs is implicitly talking about REPLs that do more than just read, eval and print, however illogical that may sound.

Note that few languages actually define READ in a user-friendly way (since python 2.6 you have the ast package, Bash's "read" returns strings).
Big Data to fight against cancer
This is the primary reason why I stopped using Windows. The defaults wound me up rotten and after a fresh install it would take me hours (literally) to configure Windows to run the way I liked my workflow. It just got worse and worse with each new version of Windows pushing itself further and further away from my ideal workflow. But with Linux, as much as I have my preferences with desktop environments et al, I found I could more easily work with whatever was put in front of me (after all, if all else fails I can just fallback to Bash). So I gave up fighting Windows and just switched to Linux full time.

This was around 15/20 years ago now and I do have a custom Bash profile and custom tmux config. The tmux config never needs to leave my workstation but the bash profile gets copied onto each server the moment I SSH onto it (as I've aliased SSH to do this) so that means I have a familiar environment on remote systems with zero extra maintenance.

Show HN: Kubernetes as a back-end for OpenFaaS
Okay, here's a concrete example, if you or anyone reading this is up for thinking about it:

John's wife Jennifer says the following to her friend, "If John left office by 4:55 pm, he'd be home in a minute" (e.g., she claims that if John's office leaving time is 4:55 pm, he'd be home at 4:56 pm).

Now, John never leaves office at 4:55 pm. It is always 5:00 pm or later. If he leaves at 5:00 pm sharp, it takes about 90 minutes on average for him to get home. If there is no traffic, it will still take at least 30 minutes for John to get home. So we know, as a behind-the-scenes knowledge, that if John left at 4:55 pm, there is no way he'd reach home before 5:25 pm.

But, since John has never left office before 5:00 pm, and let's assume he never will, according to the rules of logic, Jennifer's claim is True: It is True that if "John left office by 4:55 pm" then "it'll take 1 minute for him to get home".

Now, I don't read "A => B" as "A implies B". I find it more convincing to read it as "A => B" being True means "Information about A and B is insufficient to rule out implication". If "A => B" is False, that means it is not true that information about A and B is insufficient to rule out implication. In other words, information about A and B is sufficient to rule out implication. And the only way that's possible is when A is True and B is False.

Now, given our problem, if we only look at Jennifer's claim, we would agree with her, because A is False, and B is False. (A: John's office leaving time is 4:55 pm or less, B: John 's travel time is 1 minute). If all we know is that A is False and B is False, we can claim that this is insufficient information to rule out Jennifer's claim.

But, we do have extra information, call it C: that it takes John at least 30 minutes to get home, no matter what.

The question is, how do we incorporate this extra information, C, in our problem, consisting of A and B, if we wish to refute Jennifer's claim of 'A => B' being True?

At the risk of getting downvoted, I'm just going to say that I really hate this book. First of all, it moves way, way, way too fast. I glossed over it, and chapter 3 is already the Curry-Howard isomorphism? That took us a semester of λ-calculus to come to grips with. These are big results.

Second of all, it just seems like a mish-mash of like three or four different classes put into one: computability, type theory, first order logic -- all these can be their own concentrations.

Third, it uses type-theoretic terminology ("elimination" and [->e] instead of, e.g., modus ponens [MP]).

Finally, imo that notation really sucks (the top-to-bottom branching is really jarring), I've only seen it used in Type Theory and λ-calculus books.
