Look, I've used the term "cannibalize" in deep in strategy sessions about how much marginal benefit we'll get from a higher-price sku given that a certain number of people will be getting it instead of our lower-priced sku. I'm not going to say it's completely ridiculous to describe that as cannibalization in the right context.

But from a high level, nobody in the entire world could be sad if their customers choose a higher-price, higher-margin product over a lower-price, lower-margin product. And suggesting that it's some kind of brave stance to say, "Yes, we'll introduce a higher-price, higher-margin product even though our customers may prefer it to our lower-price, lower-margin product" is absurd, and anyone who tries to sell that line with a straight face should be ashamed of themselves.
More crucially to your point 2, NPM allowed people to remove packages once they've been released, and for others to release packages with the identical name as a previously-existing package.

I'm not aware of any other package managers that exhibit this rather dangerous behavior.

By replicated I would mean having the same conclusion too - a repeated experiment with opposite results/conclusions isn't a replication, it's a refutation.

If you just do the experiment again that's repetition.

So experiments are being repeated, but results can't be replicated and the results aren't being published, as you note.

The unpublished results perhaps aren't strong enough to make a refutation?

We are not dependent upon any specific technology. We are "fixers", and computers are just our hammer that makes everything else look like a nail. Take them away, and the other, lesser tools in the toolbox are still there.

I intend to attach myself to a raider strongman, to provide solutions to their difficult problems, such as how to crack an entrenched survivalist's defenses and get his stockpile out. I'm a decent hand at basic chemistry, too, like organic extractions and distillations.

There are many potential princes, and Machiavelli only needs one of them.

This is essentially how I was raised. My father was a depression kid, and they lost everything. We kids had to learn how to grow, hunt, fish and survive.

I spent the schoolyear like most kids, but summers we worked on the family ranch. Electricity was for an hour a day, only wellwater in a tank, shower with a wetcloth. Most workdays were on horse with one truck to haul equipment, water and food. We went to the store once a month - everything else was grown or stored.

The family ranches were 30k acres in the mountains, so getting hurt or caught in the dark meant required survival skills -
medical care, making a fire, etc. Civilization was a 4 hour drive, and the closest phone was an hour though dangerous canyon roads impassible at night (for the sane).

I really enjoyed it as a kid - but I later realized that most people wouldn't want the hassle unless it was a family business of some kind.

I recommend scouting, camping and gardening. Ranching and farming is expensive and a lot of hard work! It's very rewarding though if you can make it a living.

I will agree that JSON is 'simple' but it is only 'direct' in the context of javascript. For other languages, it is similar to XML in handling overhead. JSON's significant technical problem is a lack of a formal schema definition and enforcement mechanism. You may feel that this is actually an advantage, but I assure you, as someone who has written systems of record for billion dollar businesses, it is not.
So all Russia and Iran are doing is just trying to defend against ISIS? That's certainly one interpretation I suppose.

Just adding my voice to the chorus of users that love sublime text so much that we are begging you to take more of our money. I cannot live or function without it, I use it for everything I do.

Discovering sublime text was crucial to my early development as a programmer, I can easily see myself losing interest in it without having such a powerful, efficient, intuitive, and FUN tool at my fingertips. Yeah I said it: fun. Sublime text is fun for me. I even type my emails and web form responses in it, just because.

Anyway, congrats on the release, I love sublime text, you already have my money but seriously, I'll give you more

The war in Syria is a proxy for a battle between two countries: Iran on the one side, which supports Assad's regime, and Saudi Arabia on the other side, which supports the Sunnite rebel groups ISIS and Al Qaida.

Saudi Arabia is an ally of the US and Iran an enemy, so therefore the US supports the rebel groups that fight Assad's regime. What's more, US's close ally Israel is right at the border of Syria and Israel is a long time enemy of Iran as well.

5 responsive design trends that are changing the web
Sublime was the text editor for web dev because there wasn't a nice, free IDE.

VSCode is that IDE - long live Sublime.

It'll take a while to switch over but the writing is on the wall as far as I'm concerned - Sublime will be fondly remembered for it's novel features.

I don't think it's completely irrelevant. It's meant to get the idea across that it is easy enough to do at night when you're bored.
It is not so much that you replace existing project, but more that you start using different technology for new one once you are fed up with old. It makes learning it easier since the bulk of it is the same. Same with hiring people who have experience with different vendor. Also, it gives you shared documentation.

At least that is something that I perceived to be different against js world where exact technology match is often required and documentation weaker.
I like it except that it installed it's own apt sources for updates without telling me, and that rubbed me the wrong way.
Also, great artists steal:

I said further below that this makes Caddy nonfree, but I was corrected - you can still build Caddy from source, remove the bullshit, and distribute your changes and compiled binaries under Apache 2.0.

However, after examining the website more I feel the need to write another comment expressing how poorly this is being handled. The website is very misleading - on the download page, it now asks you to pick a license, and says that the "Personal" version is for only personal use and you need to pay for the commercial version. There's no indication until you click through to the full pricing page that the open source version even exists. On that page, you have the same personal/commercial breakdown, also stating that the personal version is strictly for non-commercial use, but with a sidebar mentioning open source. It assumes you understand the Apache 2.0 license and makes no attempt to clarify that businesses can use the open source version.

The authors are also wasting no time in going after forks[1] to complain about trademark infringement, so if you want to distribute your own patched Caddy builds you can expect to hear from their lawyers. Absolutely devoid of class.

This is a really obnoxious change. I was thinking about switching from Nginx to Caddy but this news is nailing that door shut.

The article says they are theoretically only arming groups that are fighting against ISIS. I'm pretty sure if they can defeat them on the ground without committing American troops (airstrikes can only do so much) and only spending $1 billion dollars they are going to consider that a big win.

The sentiment of this question explains why even further. ISIS does very bad stuff and is a major problem, and we can all wonder why the west doesn't do more to stop them because they clearly have the ability to do so. But then the moment the US gets really involved, everyone is going to shift blame to them for everything. I don't condone secretive actions like this myself, but considering the US's global influence and capability, if they weren't doing something about ISIS the question could easily be restated "What does the US government gain by allowing extremists to rape and pillage the middle east?"

> You're conflating every fingerprint scanner with the Apple's implementation of TouchID, which is far more secure than the check-the-box-to-win-a-government-contract stuff that's been built into most laptops.

No, I'm not. TouchID is the most popular implementation, and because it's present on every iPhone (which is the most common device to be a work phone, and thus also connected to work email and work networks), and because TouchID is also insecure, thus arises the problem.

> If it's that important, use a biometric print AND a PIN.

This is not possible on the iPhone, and wouldn't solve the problem anyway: consumers are under the false impression that fingerprints are the best security available, and they become frustrated to learn that Apple has been lying to them when corporate IT tells them fingerprints actually suck and they can't use fingerprint locks (or have to use fingerprint + something else) if they also use their phone for work stuff.

> And by having a person physically press the correct finger onto your obvious fingerprint-stealing device. . .k But if someone has the power to compel you to do that, they have the power to compel you to just put your finger on your phone for them.

What? No, you don't. You're just making stuff up now. You can steal someone's fingerprint by simply having access to something they touched, and then you can duplicate it with $10 worth of office supplies.

> This is even more involved. This involves having to lift the print with a high fidelity scanner and create a latex mold of it. What are you securing on your phone where this is a concern?

Network access to a corporate environment that has millions of SSNs, credit card numbers, etc. You think that a few hours of fiddling around with a latex mold is "too much work" for this? Think again.

> Maybe if fewer services forced people into using inane and impossible-to-remember passwords and just relied on biometric authentication instead folks wouldn’t need password managers that are so easy to unlock.

You miss the point. This wouldn't solve the issue at all, and would actually worsen it. Fingerprints are inherently insecure. Using fingerprints for more accounts is, thus, more insecure.

> I don't understand how you derived THAT from this:

I "derived" it from years of experience working as a cybersecurity consultant where at every company someone complains that "Apple says it's secure, so you must be wrong". Watch the keynote. Apple refers to TouchID as "the gold standard", "one of the most powerful passwords in the world", says "it is the most advanced technology", calls it "very high security".

I'm from an African country where Whatsapp has played a major role in the political uprising against autocratic governments. Its power to mobilize the masses to go on the streets and protest is incredible. Radios and TV stations couldn't do that due to the pressure and their fear of being shut down by authorities. But Authorities have found a way to mute Whatsapp: shutting down the Internet. Just search : "Internet or Whtasapp shut down in Cameroun, Gabon, DR Congo or Togo" to find out.
We are currently looking for alternatives to Whatsapp messenger that can work even when the Net is down. Suggestions are welcome.

And not having weapons makes it more likely you will be attacked and killed for your provisions if the shit hits the fan. In other words, armed or not, violence is a given when it gets bad enough that people are scavenging for food. When it's so bad the police and military aren't there to protect you, you either roll over and die, or fight and possibly live another day.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that we don't live in a perfect world with everyone following the rules even in the best of times. I would love it if your ideal world where we all trust each other existed; it would be true paradise. But, we're only human and even the very best of us are flawed creatures.
It's not obvious to me why the two (spin-stabilization and hibernation) would have to be coupled. Could it be due to antennas that are required for communication during active mission control?

The thing is that commenting on NYT is limited to paying subscribers so it's not like they need to defend from outside 'raids'.

Then again, I would be shocked if PACs of all flavors didn't have pay groups of subscribers to crash the comments sections of the most prominent publications (NYT, WSJ, etc). Especially during the primaries last year. When you consider the amount of traffic they get, the top comment is valuable thought capital real estate during election season.

(EDIT:

Had to look up Lysenkoism. Thanks for the new pejorative. I've added it to my filter bubble.

Okay, so upon hearing about a major chapter in the history of science, where ideology crippled science in a major world power for many years, the best you can do is to say, "I'll add it to my filter bubble!?" I'm sorry, but that's politicized anti-intellectualism of the highest degree! Shouldn't we be trying to learn from history, not denying it?)

Lysenko primarily held his theory because it fit Marxist ideology. The Blank Slate is the new Lysenkoism.

Any principle of charity one could have had towards Damore was soundly negated by his actions afterwards.

Which actions are those? In a situation like that, why wouldn't one sue? In a situation like that, why wouldn't one appear on news outlets that would actually let you speak, and not try to turn your interview into a hit piece?

I don't think a small nudge to actually pay for the thing that benefits you, or have a small note somewhere that you're not paying for it that someone might--gasp!--see, is as big a deal as the histrionics throughout this thread suggest. You don't have a problem because there's an HTTP header, you have a problem because this makes you feel uncomfortable and you want to hide it, and that strikes me as a very different thing.

You can also pay-the-man. That's an option, too. Personally, if I "really [did] appreciate the work [mholt] and others have put into Caddy," I'd be doing that long before I go switch web server stacks, because wow that's not a lot of money if I'm doing anything where I actually care about a HTTP header, but I prioritize not freeloading where I can so that's probably "just a worldview thing".
