Is there any chance you're actually thinking about Mackeeper? I've seen those two confused before.

MacKeeper is indeed shady, but I think Clean My Mac is a great piece of software.

> In all the towns I've lived in, it's illegal to put [..] lithium batteries in the trash

That's not true anywhere in the US, for the primary cell LiFeS02 batteries (such as the Energizer L91). They are not considered hazardous waste and the suggested disposal route is your trash can.

You are probably thinking of lithium-polymer batteries, which are indeed hazardous waste (and cargo).
I'm aware of what BASE means. Grandparent post was comparing BASE jumping to wingsuit skydiving out of airplanes and helicopters. Parent said that BASE jumping off of mountains could be safer. I called bullshit.

There might be another way of looking at this in that perhaps with a distributed management style the costs become more apparent. With a centralised style you can take a "five year plan" style approach and swallow all the upfront costs but where you have a bunch of separate cost centres each with their own P&L it's harder to find one single personality to drive things forward.

It might seem that I'm saying that if they had a more centralised style they might have made more progress but I don't think that's the case since when we look around at other more driven companies we aren't seeing too many breakthroughs either.

There are two fields where I know for a fact VR has made significant inroads in the last few years they being Gaming and Design Visualisation. The latter being where a VR rig is a worthwhile business expense. The former being my PS 4 where there seems to be plenty of content available, but the €600 price-tag is just a little out of my reach...

I'm a well-paid (some would say over-paid) professional and I'm quibbling about the cost of the rig and I just wonder are we at a point where the economics stack up for widespread adoption of the technology? Not just in terms of the gear but the R&D costs for game developers, such as Valve, with a questionable rate of return ..
If everyone was using AdNauseam, there would be one.
Back in 2001 when I was investigating the dependencies I wanted to take on for a webmail service, qmail was on my list of possible candidates, also because of this security guarantee.

However, I quickly learned that while that security guarantee probably was a good thing and valid, practically nobody was actually running vanilla qmail because it also had a very limited feature set.

What people were running was a mixture of qmail with various patches of their own or downloaded from somewhere on the internet, none of them properly maintained and all of them likely full of security issues nobody was caring about.

However, if you asked them what they were running, they were still saying qmail and they were still quoting the security guarantee which at that point was completely worthless.

In my case I went with a "batteries included" solution that didn't provide a security guarantee but also came with all the features I needed built-in and which also got regular updates by its maintainer.

Not needing to add third-party patches was more important than the design and guarantees of the base-product because the moment you patch the thing yourself, you own it and all the possibly given guarantees and positive aspects of the underlying architecture were null and void.

The solution I went with in the end was exim and it still is the MTA on our central relay. It had more security issues than qmail or postfix over its history, but I also do not need to patch it for my solution with users-in-SQL. Meaning that whenever a security issues is found, I can rely on my distro to provide updates which will fix the issue.

qmail and postfix provided a better security picture out-of-the-box but both would have needed manual patching for my needs which I deemed too risky.

There is no question that the less functionality offered by a product, the more secure it is. If you don't need any features, then by all means go with a product that has no features and you'll automatically enjoy the best security: Features breed complexity. Complexity breeds security issues.

But if you absolutely need a list of features that is offered by a tool, be careful in weighing up the risks of manually adding those additional, things compared to going with the full solution where somebody else is taking care of the security picture.
I agree those are issues. It think most of them can be addressed in time.

As someone who worked within the Food Industry for 10 years in SEA Region.

Yes, because Anything from France sells. And we are finally seeing some consumers realizing the quality they are getting. I still think we are still 10+ years away from ending this French premium pricing mark up.

More Importantly, the French knows of this as well. And from my experience the pricing of French (export) product fluctuate alot. For the same product I could get it 2-3x cheaper from Japan trade, ( France to Japan then Ship to other region ) then buying it directly from France. ( With less volume, but the difference shouldn't be that big )

Then there is the trader. Lots of French Product company dont do export themselves. They have deals with some Trading company, acting as their Export branch. Reasons because they dont have to deal with many export regulations, no need to hire someone to speak English or other languages. But these trading companies tend to make a mess sometimes when they are selling to lots of places with different pricing.
It doesn't take a leap of logic at all. All it requires is some fairly simple economics.

Someone has to pay for content. You don't view ads, and you don't buy subscriptions. You also never donate. What do you think will happen next?

Well, some businesses die, but most don't. At the Guardian, we had to rely on three things:

1. We had to make about three hundred people redundant. (This is the human cost of the problem - not that some fatcat makes marginally worse dividends, but that a print worker who's done this job since 16 is now being turned out at 42)

2. We had to diversify our revenue streams. One way became 'native advertising': content sponsored by companies, like an article on the history of whiskey with a Jack Daniels badge, etc. Editorial hated this. Oh, boy, they objected. They fought in every principle and at every point available. They relented when they realized they were next for redundancies.

3. Then there were us, in commercial. Firefighting bad ads coming via the network, trying to resist JS hogging full page experiences, writing ads in the highest performing fashion we could to make the best of a bad situation. No-one liked us.

I didn't stay for long. I'd like to say I left because I was disgusted with the seediness of the ad industry, but the real reason was that the job was boring and depressing. We weren't saving the newspaper and we weren't making ads better.

Personally I think the only solution is the paywall. That's how newspapers worked for 250 years: you gave your dollar and you got your daily edition. You could trust your paper because it was more beholden to you than to any other interest. Will people accept this, though?
This is actually the best way to understand it. But without some background (Proof Theory 101, The Deductive Theorem, Metalogic 101), I'm sure this sounds like gibberish :)

NB: Although you muddy the waters a bit. "A => B" is literally "A proves B". And to see why an inconsistent set implies anything at all, we just need to look at the Principle of Explosion[1] -- which is probably less contentious than material implication.

I have tried a lot of times to enforce the code reviews because I have seen lot of bullshit being checked in to the source control but if you don't have support from other team members then even having the code review is waste of time. Code review should come from the gut feeling, you should be always self critical and let your code being evaluated by other people who care about software development in general and not by the people who just want to make their job done and to have something to mention during the stand up meeting.
So depending on what kind of people you are surrounded with, you should decide is it worth to do it or not.

Code review is not a task or ticket, it should be more natural in all teams. Like it's normal to take a shower or brush your teeth, it's also normal to do code reviews and keep the code clean and good. But recently most of the teams are just skipping everything to make managers and owners happy. And they are always happy with beta, preview or even prototype - so sad.

Unit tests are something else. Good, clean and testable code starts from good and clean requirements that are easily understandable. From there you are able to write clear unit tests and imagine the whole story. If your manager or someone who is defining what needs to be done doesn't have the clear vision or plan then you have a good chance that your code will be bad - then unit tests are implicitly bad.
That wouldn't work like you're hoping. You're assuming a (representative) respondent pool that's all of these:

1. capable of switching off preference falsification for a survey

2. introspectively active (and accurately so) over a long enough period to notice that they behave differentially in public and private contexts

3. interested in exposing this degree of candor for a survey, i.e. motivated to "show the researchers" (show themselves, really) their belly after collapsing across all the reasons they'd rather not.

Humans are primitive. Questionnaires have to be designed around that.
Based on his bio [0], Khosrowshahi seems like a more apt CEO pick for Airbnb instead of Uber. Thus, I think that someone with a more extensive experience in the transportation industry such as Kathryn Marinello (CEO of The Hertz Corporation) [1] or David Abney (CEO of UPS) [2] is more suitable for the job.

One of the ways this works is that a lot of the guidance data is stored onboard and updated often (things like the density of earth under the missile's trajectory)

This 'software' upgradability is why the same old missile can get more and more accurate as better data is fed into the onboard guidance computer.

At the moment in Europe it seems like hybrids are a much better choice than a fully electric car.

Even in Germany rapid charging stations (i.e. 80% charge in 30 minutes) are few and far between, so if you plan on going on a road trip it's not going to be a very good experience. As a city car it would be viable, but electric cars are very expensive for comparable non-electric models (e.g. the VW Up is €9850 and the e-Up is €26900).

Plus depending on how the electricity is generated it may not even be better for the environment, e.g. in the U.K. an electric car uses the equivalent of 5.5l/100km petrol - which is the same or worse than a hybrid. As more clean energy is produced it will improve, but it will take a while to get to that point.
Having a mobile phone was something to make fun of. If you had one you were a yuppee, who'd be using it to shout down the phone to buy and sell stocks. It was funny how quickly that perception changed once they began to take off among the general population.
Very cool, I wonder why not just offer a software package instead of phone + software (unless I'm missing something).

Kind of like Lineage, but not based on Android.

> the big providers are seemingly relying less and less on IP address in determining spamminess...

It's not the big providers that you need to worry about. Setup SPF and most of them are fine. Some will look at your DKIM record too. The problem is every mid-level smtp service that has been configured by a varying number of people with varying levels of policies and ideas around how to mitigate spam. If your system triggers their spam detection then sometimes you get an email saying it was returned to sender and marked as spam. Sometimes, it will quietly go into their spam folder. I only ever got DMARC reports from Google.

One needs an IP registered to their own AS number owned by a real company to reliably deliver email to the entire web. You can't run an MTA on a VPS or most home internet connections without spending a lot of time monitoring and troubleshooting delivery. Using a 3rd party service for sending while hosting the MX at home is still the most secure and reliable setup. What would be really useful is a "bounce_forwarding_mta" where bounced emails would always attempt to redeliver through the 2nd MTA. Then you could send everything through your own MTA on your home internet connection and if one bounces then the system automatically attempts to send it through whatever smtp SaaS the user configures.

Things on the internet usually suck because of corporate policy, not usually because of the technology.
Yes, this! Flying is hard and our instincts are wrong.

Anyway, pilot training is focused on dealing with critical and problematic situations. To be able to fly with instruments only, without them in case of failure, to glide safely, to not fly in proximity to other objects ;-) etc.
Unfortunately, IMO in wingsuit flying, the safety is so thin that it would be hardly significantly improved with regulated training.

I've been running it at work as my main dev OS for a couple of months now (before I ran Debian) and I've run into far less issues than I expected. It's really well done.

Before Void Linux I contemplated jumping ship to FreeBSD or OpenBSD but Void Linux combines the best of BSD and Linux for me. (Except the awesome documentation and man pages found in the BSDs and it still uses a piece of Lennartware by default (but it can be removed): PulseAudio.)

Oh, a disadvantage (at least when I installed it) was I had to go through a wiki page to get an encrypted setup. It's not in the default installer. (Wasn't too hard though.)

Yes, if that personality results in "sexual harassment, bullying, blackmail, and physical harm" (https://medium.com/@hdevalence/when-hell-kept-on-payroll-som...), then that personality is more important then "aesthetics".

I wonder if this has gone anywhere in the courts.
I find the Netflix recommendations largely non-beneficial considering their lack of selection. Most of the movies/series I want to watch are not on Netflix at all.

Moreover - I think the internal algorithm for training their models will be to maximize "continuations" of watching series enabling binge-watching. While this may be a good measure of engagement for THEM, it hardly is for ME. I would much rather that the choice was made out of the global list of "good stuff I should be watching" versus the "list of stuff Netflix sales people could buy and negotiate for".

I do think it's cool that when you type in a title that's NOT in their system - they can recognize it and recommend similar titles - although - it's a very good bet that actually clicking and watching one of those is highly likely going to a waste of time.
As an incensed "YNAB Classic" user that will never pay for or use the new YNAB, I'm not sure about that on two fronts. To me it was very surprising how quickly the community followed what seemed like a clear betrayal of promises made, although there were a few loud complaints at first. We haven't seen any real objections with teeth, like an open source clone of YNAB 4.

Also it's not clear how much outrage was over the switch to a subscription model (for which there are pros and cons), or for the switch to a cloud services model and the about-face from the "you own your data" position they held before.

Considering the title, it did feel quite ironic to hit ctrl-w to close tab after the paywall appeared.
While there's probably some truth to that, other folks who seem to have the answers are probably faking it more than you realize. The big difference is that you're hyper aware of your predicament and more likely to identify gaps in what you "should" know.
Starting to go off topic but have you checked out BetterTouchTool[1]? It's not _just_ another window tiling app for the Mac. It also lets you conveniently remap trackpad gestures and taps, 3rd party mice (yes you can remap your side buttons if you want), keyboard shortcuts, etc. The coolest thing is that if you really want, you can also restrict your remaps to work only in certain applications. I've been using it for years and just wanted to share.

When you buy from a brand with a reputation to lose, you are not buying a guarantee to an exceptional product, you are buying a guarantee to a product that is not exceptionally bad.

When you buy an appliance from an unknown Chinese manufacturer, you can get a solid product, but if you're not careful, you end up with a cheap knock-off that will break in a month. They can get away with it because nobody ever hears of them, nobody knows not to buy from them.

When you buy an appliance from a well-known German manufacturer, you can get a white-labeled product from a Chinese supplier, but most likely it will still be a piece of solid engineering. Otherwise, any incident will be in the news for weeks, and exactly those customers who bought the brand for name-recognition now avoid it for the same reasons.

I suspect that this will change as wages in China rise to a level where build quality no longer dominates the manufacturing cost and some Chinese brands will probably emerge to be seen as high-value internationally.

A Game You Can Control with Your Mind
The thing to realise is that, at least is my experience, REPL based development doesn't mean your are actually typing code into the REPL.

Instead, you develop code in a file, but constantly evaluate code as you go along.

When I work on a clojure project, I very rarely open the actual REPL, but I am constantly evaluating code and experimenting with different implementations of functions.

Then, when I'm happy with the results, I ask the editor to evaluate and insert the results back into the editor. This then becomes the unit test.

> And my personal experience with this Oatly milk, it tastes like hay. Which makes me wonder where this demand came from.

Partially because quite simply not everybody has that association. People have different tastes. Of all the milk alternatives I like the oat-based ones best, and I've tried quite a few (although I also find the smell of hay quite pleasant, which probably helps on a sub-conscious level).

Also, the motivation may lie elsewhere. For me, exploring alternatives to dairy was definitely based on trying to reduce my ecological footprint. However, I am lucky enough to immediately like the oat-based drinks.
I guess it depends how much you push things and yourself, if it's bouldering, sport climbing or trad (lets skip free soloing for this one :))

I don't have micromort stats around, but for example sport climbing, when not pushing constantly your limits and on bolted route that has not-very-old and reasonably placed protection, it feels as dangerous as some trail run in the forest. Risk of rock falling suddenly is next to 0, same goes for equipment failure.

bouldering & trad are different for obvious reasons, but again depends.
