what is your issue? M$ fked up with telemetry again, pissed off bunch of users as apparent here, and your response is RTFM, although there is nothing about it in the M?

ah yes, go over blogs and articles and everything on the internet, because this is how everybody works and things should be... get a grip, man
Mining Efficiency of 78 GPUs compared over 3 coins
I know that this subject is super important to some people on this site, but it literally tells you when you execute the command how to turn it off.

Also, the thread seems to have people from MS (the core team) actively soliciting feedback and wanting to work with users. They published a blog post before they started collecting telemetry, so it wasn't unannounced.

There are lots of ways that this could be worse. Maybe we shouldn't slap their hand when they are doing a pretty good job?

I can see how this is still completely unacceptable if you are a privacy maximalist, but most people aren't.

People don't talk enough about this shit when discussing Europe's poor economy. Most of Southern Europe, France included, is almost socialist (in a bad way) in the way that free enterprise is treated.

I don't see how anyone could think economic growth, entrepreneurship and wage growth is possible when employment taxes are 100% (of salary) and people are encouraged by their accountants to spend just the right amount of effort cheating on their taxes. Add to this a corrupt, purpose-bred government class that consists of people who never held a normal job in their lives.

The EU should get on this problem with considerably more effort.
I didn't realize that the page actually did anything at all for just this reason. Thanks for taking one for the team...also why was this in a script in the first place? Shouldn't it just be text?
I'm a self-taught quant, not an 'active' investor, but here's what I do. I use factors like trend and momentum to develop algorithms. Then I backtest my algorithms against decades of data. Then I buy/sell stocks based 100% on what the algorithm says to do.

If you hand pick stocks, you will lose. A simple index fund will destroy you over, say, 10 years. I'm happy to back up that claim with cash if you will make your picks public. $1,000 to the charity of your choice.
I don't think your definition of success matches theirs. People have different values, some value openness above market share.

Speaking of openness, and since you mentioned ios: apple recently unpublished a company's entire catalog of apps without any explanations. The word on the street is malware (well technically fraudulent adware) but do you think you will ever get apple to admit that?
It does depend on using the csv file extension. Anything else brings up the import wizard.
Both better tools and better software discipline is needed.

Better tools could help a lot. It's hard to see how anyone disagrees with that. But, on the flip side, at my most pessimistic, I find that a massive % (say, 50%) of developers struggle to do the most basic things correctly. I can't fathom the types or scope of tools needed to solve the size of the problem (real AI that puts us all out of a job??).

So, while we wait for a thousand silver bullets, I agree with Uncle Bob: more automated tests, more pair programming, more code reviews. Whatever new tool they come up with, without basic competence, discipline and vigilance, things aren't going to change.

Most “neighborhood” forums have a ton of racism. Try the City-Data forums for Baltimore, or DC Urban Moms. The threads about, say, the racial demographics of the elementary school in some genitrifting neighborhood can get pretty awful.

I like the ideas behind the writer of this post. However I have worked remote for over a year and I have to comment.

First of all working in a van for a long haul will probably be painful for your back. No standing desk no office chair and desk set up will not be comfortable to code for more then a few hours.

Most of time working remote you need power and wifi. There is an expectation that you will be online during similar hours as your co-workers as peers. Maybe not exactly but similarly. So you gotta have a pocket wifi if doing this.

Working in a van most days alone can be isolating. Trust me you will feel it. Even when you go to an office and don't speak much to people it still helps with social aspect. Being online and talking to co workers does too. If you have a pocket WiFi and are not totally off grid able to engage with famile or friends and colleagues online then it will be helpful.

With climate change worsening sometimes it's hot really hot. It will be difficult to be outside for long stretches of time in a wide variety of places due to worsening climate change. When you are in the office you will not notice how bad it's getting less. Reading the news daily and seeing all the issues connecting to climate changes helps but working outside you really feel it directly. Historically a town might have had temperatures of 23 C now it's 28 C to 30 C on the bad days. However during working at an office you are usually in an AC building from 9 to 18 missing the hottest parts of day. When you work remotely to you will know how bad things are and it will trouble you more if you try to work in a van connected to nature. It's gonna be hot.

Working remote is great but there are some drawbacks like everything in life. Those you need to be mindful of before onsetting on that path.
What makes this illegal?
My hair is starting to think about peppering itself with white, so I wasn't born yesterday, but I've spent about 1/3 of my adult life in Asia (primarily Japan), about 1/3 in the North of the US split between Yankee-land and the Rocky Mountain region, and about 1/3 in "the South".

In the Rocky Mountain region that I was in (and that I was born in), there was no history of slavery or any sort of modern diversity (it was all coal-miners, oil-drillers, and ranchers all the time), so I think we can take that one off the table. As we can Japan - because their issues with racism are different from ours (in the US).

That leaves good old Yankee-land and "the South". I am by birth and by culture, not a Southerner, but I will declare that if anyone sees more racism in Shreveport LA (for example) than they do in Chicago or even Terre Haute IN, that is a person that I would assert has never been to the south. I believe generally (based on a whole lotta anecdotal observation - some of which are turning my aging locks white), that Y2K Yankee-land is far more racist than Y2K Dixie. I don't know what it was like in 1960 - the race riots of Detroit in '68 - white flight to the suburbs - any of that. But I do believe that you are giving your own region a pass and the south a diss if you believe that they are more racist than you.

EDIT: And it isn't necessarily germane to my parent comment, but I see a lot of use of the phrase "dog-whistle" with no specifics. Can we see more specifics, so that the lesser aware of us can know what you are even talking about, or even get educated on what constitutes a "dog-whistle"?
I'm not trying to justify it by any means, but I sometimes wonder if the cost of devices are sometimes subsidized by data collection.
The question sounds enough like "how do I stop this app from eating data cap" that running them through standard malware fixes makes sense. Tech support deals with a lot of people that are terrible at wording their questions, so you tend to look for key phrases and suggest easy fixes first.
A very, very large flip side to that, is there are extremely few winners in any given segment in software / online services.

There are 150,000 convenience stores in the US.

How many successful online auction sites are there? At least dozens!

How many CRM companies that successfully compete with Oracle and Salesforce? At least several!

How many successful competitors to Slack? A couple!

How many successful competitors to Github? At least a few!

Your odds of building just a million dollar sales business in online services or software, is extraordinary small. And if you're in a successful niche, your niche is either likely to disappear entirely in a short amount of time, or otherwise be consumed into a larger company's product.

Meanwhile every single McDonald's ($2.5m avg) location does over a million in sales. Most Burger King ($1.3m avg) and Wendy's locations do as well. That's 27,000 franchise locations in the US just between those three.

Funny you’d mention that. I saw a guy near the Seattle’s famous Pike Place market wearing a T-shirt with a sign “I sell the best weed in town” or something very close to that. If you walked buy he would offer weed with the warmest and most genuine smile. And that was before legalization.
If this data collection is not declared in the user-agreement, then is it illegal?
Sorry, I didn't intend that rant to be directed toward you specifically. I just mean that your comment sounds like something those Excel project managers would tell me and I'm tired of hearing it.

After years of hearing "that's not what Excel is for" I am left wondering what it is for. I have asked many "Excel pros" how to solve some problem in Excel and I honestly can't think of any satisfactory answers. Just "that's not a common use case".

The CSV behavior is just one of the annoyances. Conflating display format with data type is another. Silently changing data is another. My list of gripes with Excel is long and on this topic my fuse is short.
The core thing is that some people STILL like it -- including people who never lived in that era, and could trivially buy 3 30" monitors.

And not because of primitivism reasons ("who needs fancy IDEs" etc), but because of a quite concrete reason: increased focus.

In the era of 1000 distractions for programmers, it's perhaps more valid than it would have been in 1984. Then, if you had dual monitors, they'd still show just your code, some log, some documentation, etc. At best, xeyes.

That may be OK for sleeping but it is very hard to work. I spent a couple of Winters coding without heating with indoor temperatures around 12 Celsius and it was very hard. I wore mittens, bubble hat, a blanket and even an electric foot warmer and still had to stop working and walk a bit every now and then to warm up.

I've done almost completely remote freelance coding for a few years now & the only thing that you really need is to mostly stick to places with a reliable internet connection (which is still a pretty big chunk of the world).
Keeping the gate of what?

As I wrote "some of us" prefer smaller/single screens for focus. If it doesn't work for you, or if you can manage NOT to get distracted by 5 open windows in 2 x 24" monitors, then more power to you.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it I guess, but we work almost exclusively with human and mouse genomes for now.

In any case, I imagine the Ensembl ID is still safer than other encodings in the case of invertebrates. For example, genes IDs in the Fruit fly genome look like FBgn0034730.

There's a simmering issue underlying this that in only a matter of time will surface in a court battle: if racist attitudes are common in the general population, does making a story out of it (presuming there is no related court filing about illegal discrimination or anything similar) violate a person's "non-notability" status?
Debugging is a skill that will definitely be used on the job, and this is a stripped-down example of something that you'll definitely encounter while working in JavaScript (or any language with mutable closures).

How would you ask about this issue in interviews?
Of course not. One of the reasons why this kind of industry popped out of no where is because these kinds of things are not regulated. If they were, targeted ads would be a much harder problem.

>This seems to have attracted a lot of downvotes, I guess because it's overtly antagonistic

Not exactly antagonistic -- meant to give some historical context to answer the parent's question which made it seem like big monitors are some physical necessity that people just can't do without. It's not like big monitors where any kind of norm before at least 2000.

I know tons of people happily coding away on a laptop with no external monitors attached.

FWIW a number of years ago I created a concept for a virtual pet toy that was aimed at exploring alternate approaches which might encourage girls--who may not have been previously interested--to learn to code and other computer science related concepts (such as state machines).

One interesting aspect that GoldieBlox's research mentioned was that they found girls became more engaged when there was a story with a purpose (e.g. help this puppy) or opportunity for story-telling.

This made me wonder if there would be potential for combining an already popular electronic toy concept (virtual pets) with a programming environment that was also a story-telling environment. The behavior of the pet would be determined by a state machine generated from the story.

For example:

Hello my name is [Oinky].
When I am [tired] I [sometimes] want to [play].
When I am [hungry] I [always] want to [eat].

Then the state machine for the virtual pet could be generated from that. (And associated graphical appearance, sounds etc.) Another appealing aspect of the virtual pet form factor was that low-resolution pixel art was accessible (in terms of skill required) and wouldn't look out of place. (I also believe there's a lot of value in a tangible physical "thing" that people can carry & show-off.)

I ended up getting a bit distracted by the more generic question of how to produce a platform of enclosures & electronics that would enable people to prototype hand-held Arduino-based devices. (And then other things.) But I still think the idea is worth exploring.

For the reasons explained in the previous project. A source of quality in mechanical and civil engineering is that they have rigid standards, legal regulations, and thorough specifications. These cost a lot of money, sacrifice a lot of flexibility, and add a lot of time, but they work.

Agile development methods do create useful software quickly and cheaply, but are very dissimilar to this sort of strict framework.

As an employee of ThoughtWorks, he can't suggest increased regulation and specification, because he's paid to suggest less of those things. It's disingenuous, then, to complain about a lack of the results of those processes when he's advocating a method that lacks those processes.
I think that removing the downvote button altogether is a good idea on this site.
> Then why don't they make it opt in?

Because opt-in telemetry doesn't really improve the open source project. It no longer provides a representative sample of the usage patterns in your app that you can use to guide your further development or maintenance efforts; the people that would opt-in majorly overlap with the people who are also willing to file issues and seek help channels.

> Really!? This is (one of the) reason(s) why some of us greybeards loathe systemd (and just when I was starting to become "okay" with it, too).

I am not sure why you imply that there was some evil scheme behind all this. In reality, things are a bit different: one group at Red Hat decided to put an end to TCP wrappers (which btw is something other distros already did a while back, we are late at the party), and another group then offered to make a more modern replacement available, that could cover some of the uses, in order not leave users in the cold. I am not sure why you think that's an evil thing to do? Isn't it nicer to drop something with a suggestion how to replace it then to drop it without replacement?

Also, let's not forget: this functionality is implemented in the kernel, systemd merely adds knobs to expose this kernel functionality to the user. Hence, no, this functionality didn't really "show up in systemd". It showed up in the kernel, and systemd just wraps it to make it usable.

I mean, this is a dilemma, isn't it? Whatever we do you are unhappy, right? ;-)

Lots of talk here about better tools and better coding practices and better discipline, but what about better languages? Some languages make it impossible to make the kind of errors that other languages allow. And I think the languages will just keep getting safer and safer.
Norwegian and USA societies are vastly different. There is absolutely no reason that something that works in one country will work in the other.

For instance, look at the gun ownership/gun crime rates.

I want to add another comment, which is slightly more difficult. You say that your daughters school "has over 30 nationalities, and that it's not a bad thing". I admire you for this. BUT I don't think it's representative of how Norwegian society is, judging from my 6 months working in Oslo.

> The amount of water that I used in Berlin to brush my teeth is probably enough for a whole day in my van. Maybe 80% of the water just flowed from the tap right into the drain without even touching my body.

I hear things like that time and time again, and I can literally not understand it. Why would any sane person leave the water running while brushing their teeth? When I brush my teeth, the water runs for one second to wet the brush, then for another second to draw water into a glass for rising my mouth with, then for another five seconds (on a low setting) to clean the brush. That's maybe 100 ml. I literally drink 15-20 times as much per day.
I am happy when I see I can get data via CSV over the other delivery methods people use. My local school board prints out all their data and then scans them into a PDF, ugh. I had one vendor that on purpose made the data only available in forms that would take me 600+ lines of code to clean up in mangled ASCII format.

I use CSV all the time when I am working with R. My data can come in the form of CSV, XLS, or PDF. Which would you want to work with?

I can easily look at the data. I never touch my incoming data and my output is in reports, but CSV can be the easiest way to get data into a computer.
But we know they "spin too fast", by measuring the amount of observable matter and then measuring the "rotation curve" of the galaxy. However, the basic point that this is not half the dark matter, is correct, (based on our current understanding). Even if we can't see ordinary matter, we should be able to see its effect in some way other than gravitational interaction. Dark matter is only seen by its gravitational interaction. It doesn't interact electromagnetically.
Or maybe America is actually far less racist than it was during the Civil War and opponents are magnifying what remains to try to make unjustifiable claims.
Give me a version of every standard text editor that can let me display and edit these ASV files when I just need to quickly hack something, and sure, I'll use it. CSV is directly editable in any text editor and manipulable by standard text processing tools, that's one of its key advantages.
The penalty for making publicly racist statements is decreasing, IMO; people are still being picked off at the leading edge when they really do go unambiguously too far, but there's an entire industry of thinly disguised racist news media.
