Super excited about innovation in RDBMSs. ACID and relational models are (in my opinion) highly underrated, but need more modern syntax & flexibility. What I really want is Prolog-like, deductive features in a traditional RDBMS, but that may have to wait.

I don't know where (or if) |. is documented, I think I saw someone use it in a Github thread somewhere. I use it all the time – for instance

someList
|. Belt.List.map(i => i + 1)

... because most Belt.List functions take the list as the first argument, and |> feeds its input as the last argument.

Edit: apparently |. is BuckleScript, lots more discussion here: https://github.com/facebook/reason/issues/1452 ... just another instance of Reason still finding itself.

Do you need to be remembered to be significant? I consider them to be two different things.

For me the answer to both is to do what I can to have a positive impact on those around me. I consider my efforts as a scout leader to be the most likely thing I have done to affect our future, though I doubt I will be remembered much beyond the next generation.

I am worried regulations will make the Internet more geographically fragmented. The best thing about the Internet is how it captures the long tail. A random person in Slovenia can read a local news site in Kansas if they wish. Even if spending just one minute of effort making itself available in Slovenia would be a loss for said news site. The Internet is by default global and everything is available to everyone. It takes extra effort to block regions, but I'm afraid regulations will make people spend that extra effort.
Without the e at the end, it's the same in English, albeit not the same pronunciation I gather.
So IP + timestamp of my ticket system logs is invalid because I also have a timestamp of ticket updates by a user. Actually, just IP because I have a timestamp on the log file. So the latest line has an IP, so I can take the file timestamp and see the latest ticket comment and now I've linked it to an individual. You're right, this is easy. Even easier now that I can't think of a way of storing an IP without the ability to at least correlate the latest one.

I would say the difference is that Linux ifconfig was written once, and never modified. Get a new interface config, write a new tool (see mii-tool, iwconfig, etc)

On FreeBSD (and presumably other BSDs), all of the interface configuration happens with ifconfig still, if something new comes up, it's added to the tool that already exists.

There are some legitimate concerns around interfaces though -- some of the apis are either parse ifconfig's output, or copy its source code, I don't think (but could be wrong) that there's a nice machine readable way to get this information.

Great, so about:addons doesn’t use tracking Google Analytics cookies anymore? Or has a visible way to disable it (you need to enable DNT to get rid of this).

And Firefox Nightly does not track personally identifiable telemetry anymore?

No. Mozilla still tracks every step I take.

What the fuck, Mozilla?

EDIT: Example. Go to If you go to view-source:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ — In the code you’ll find Google Analytics, and if you open the page, it’ll set tracking cookies. No cookie notice, no opt-in, at all.

How the FUCK is this supposed to be GDPR-compliant? Cambridge Analytica is more GDPR-compliant than this.

EDIT 2: See also https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/2785 to show that about:addons loads addons.mozilla.org, including the Google Analytics trackers without opt-in.

EDIT 3: See also https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/ which explains that Nightly and Beta always send telemetry, which can not be turned off in any way, and your only way to avoid it is to stop using the product, which again violates the GDPR section on "free consent".
It's bizarre to me that people seem to lack any ability to comprehend that "diversity" is really the opposite, it's about destruction of diversity ... it's naked conformity. It's core to the mental illness that is "liberalism" (for a lack of a better label for the time being although progressives may be better), to totally and utterly confuse destruction of diversity, i.e., having differences or a distributed network, as some kind of achievement of diversity.

What we see today and what this paper/article points out is that "diversity" is not only not assisted through the compulsory destruction of actual diversity, but that what is happening and what they are describing is actually a latter stage or a phase of the total implosion of diversity through compulsory conformity at the end.

Will peak diversity be achieved when there is no diversity and everyone is the same, thinks the same, eats the same, and the mixed master race has been achieved? Is that the end goal? "What's a {insert former unique culture and society}, mom?", "I think it was a people who used to be different from others and created a vibrancy of humanity that no longer exists since we all think, eat, and do the same things that have been approved by the socialist authoritarians. Now eat your soylent green, son. The benevolent government and Dear Leader have said it is your duty to eat it."

Here's the end state we will reach at one point ... or at least the poor future generation inheritors of this "liberal" socialist/marxist/communist/progressive authoritarianism will have to ponder one day ... that actual diversity was totally and utterly eradicated by those screaming and yelling and demanding "diversity" through compulsory conformity.

The beatings will commence until morale improves after all; uniqueness and actual diversity will be shattered, destroyed, polluted, and divided until diversity improves. Heil Hillary.
If you were a productive unix sysadmin in 2008 you are a productive unix sysadmin in 2018. Its just that Linux is no longer unix-like and you've switched from using, perhaps, Debian install media in '08 to FreeBSD install media in '18. Its not really that big of a problem. Its much easier and more productive to switch to FreeBSD than to switch to ... whatever it is Linux is becoming.

I have tried nighthawk, and though it shows promise it needs a little work. Settings is not an obvious place to add music from and when I did add my music folder it didn't seem to look in any subfolders I had.

I was quite surprised by the CPU and memory usage though. Surprisingly lean. I ran a bunch of music players along side it and it averaged the same memory and CPU as colibri, vlc, foobar, and swinsian. Clementine stood out from the pack as an absolute hog, burning up my desk with 33% cpu usage, where nighthawk and the others stayed below 1% most of the time.

That's pretty impressive performance.

For some products this makes sense, because Edge has made some questionable choices to either not support some standards, or have their own flavor of them (see WebRTC).

No offense, but I won't support Edge on some stuff I build because very few people use it, and it's too much of a snowflake in some areas.

Note that this doesn't apply to general apps and sites, which should work with Edge more or less out of the box. I'm speaking specifically to cases where the Edge team has decided to ignore a standard and choose their business priorities over consistency.

I saw some holdouts but for a lot of them their tune changed when Oracle's enforcers told them how much they owed (retroactively) for running Oracle on Virtual infrastructure. You see, you don’t pay for per-processor you are actually using. You pay per-processor you could possibly use. Even with live migrations each instance could only live on two physical hosts at any one time but they had to pay for the entire VMware cluster.

You have one team trying to save the company (however fruitless it might be) by creating a cloud and being forward thinking and you have another team that’s trying to squeeze their existing customers for every drop. The former can only be hampered by the latter.

A tip for anyone running Oracle: I have a friend at a previous employer who put the screws to Oracle by running some non-prod on a massive box and just creates instances on the fly with docker containers for developers and automated testing. Of course I’d ask an attorney before doing that, YMMV.
You want to work on something that will inspire people to inspire people to inspire people to create.

I know a few small business owners in Europe and they all prefer cash as a way to avoid the hefty sales & income taxes. They want cash sales, pay some employees under the table, do their own spending in cash - even new cars and property. The last thing anyone wants is an electronic record of money going in and out.

So yes its privacy but not in the way the article talks about.
The real test is how Google behaves.

Google shouldn't be collecting data from users who agreed to share their data based on outdated ToS that are no longer legally valid.

They should ask for agreement to new GDPR-compliant terms just as they do for users who agreed to the old terms before GDPR was law.

The supreme court simply ruled that such a case COULD take into account only the patents/parts, rather than the entire device. They did not suggest a legal framework for doing so, and they did not mandate that the award must do so.

They will certainly attempt an appeal, that doesn't mean anyone will accept it.

> I now need to go to a bank, and then to a shop

Hmmm...if you go to a bank to withdraw cash every tine you go to a shop I could see your point, but I would suggest that "you're holding it wrong".

> I have to carry a lot of little bits of valuable paper around with me

Which are limited in terms of risk, whereas a card can withdraw...whatever your limit. Carrying the bits of paper (and coins) has the big benefit of being tangible, that is we get to use all our senses to understand something otherwise very abstract.

> when I pay I have to wait [..]

Err...sorry, cash transactions are invariably much quicker than card transactions around here.

> I get no protections such as insurance

You mean you don't have ridiculous services bundled together for no reason whatsoever.

> I can't how understand how anyone can argue cash is more convenient!

And I can't understand how anyone can argue that cards are more convenient, when they clearly are not.

>And how can you possibly argue cash is faster? Paying by card takes 0.5 seconds -

Where? Around here, card transactions always take longer.

> arcane things like inserting your card, paper printouts, signing with a pen [..] decade or more.

Actually, having to sign on EC payments has become a thing recently, it used to be exclusively PIN. And sometimes it's PIN, sometimes it's signature, in the same shop, with the same card. They payment processor seems to choose by some randomized algorithm.

That is entirely false.

If you buy from the Google store, you'd have to agree before buying (you can't buy without an account).

If you don't, then the seller had to notify you before your purchase. Google had little influence there.

And your argument doesn't work if you're taking about third party devices, which the parent was.

Android itself is open source. OEMs aren't forced to bundle the Google services with it. This can't be blamed on Google either.

They're probably still violating gdpr, and I'm looking forward to the first real cases. These are just silly
Since all major operating systems in their normal desktop-use configurations now come bundled with one of four browsers - Edge (Windows), Safari (macOS), Firefox or Chrome/ium (*nix) which are actually also all supporting at least HTML5 and CSS3 pretty well, I think it would be an interesting idea if a framework that turned web pages into "apps" could have the app configured to fire up the app in the system browser and not just embed Chromium.

It shouldn't be that horrible anymore to do it cross browser like that, at least as long as you follow web standards and ignore Internet Explorer, requiring Windows 10 support there.

And it would make these apps, of course, absolutely tiny.

How about using that as a starting point, and have that Electron alternative focus on making cross-browser development as painless as possible instead via built in Javascript shims/polyfills where necessary, and special API calls to integrate it into the underlying OS of course (OS native notifications etc)?

Most won't like this answer. I think people dislike the idea of a nobody impacting world history.

But, if I take "today" to mean literally one day, sadly I think assassinating a world leader is one of the few ways to significantly impact the world 1000 years from now. (An example [0]). It would have to precipitate a major event though (something like a world war).

Unlike the wolf, coyotes have thrived in part because they have adapted excellently to urban environments. (https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/160418-animals-u...)

City dwellers generally don't (in general) shoot animal pests for pretty obvious reasons: in the close quarters of the city, mistakes may have much greater impact. Coyotes rarely attack people; even unarmed, I'd bet on the 150lb adult human over the 30lb coyote in any 1-on-1 fight, and humans often have other clever tricks up their sleeves (including weapons but also beyond that). Generally speaking coyotes avoid people as much as possible. They are IMHO wise to do so.

The main impact of coyote urbanization on most people IMHO is that it is much less safe to have an "outdoors cat" or any other free-roaming pet. Which is why animal control departments from what I see don't pay much mind to urban coyotes, it is not that big of a problem. As another poster says, if it became a big problem, resources could be directed to control the coyote.

"While we don’t yet have U.S.-EU negotiated civil enforcement mechanisms for the GDPR (and it is unknown whether we ever will), there is still the application of international law and potential cooperation agreements between U.S. and EU law enforcement agencies, which have been increasing in recent years."

That's politician for "We have absolutely no recourse if the company doesn't have an established business in the EU."

EDIT: That's a nice article. It goes to explain that if a company has no presence in the EU, it has to identify an agent in the EU to act on its behalf. So any company can simply NOT do this if they never intend to have EU offices and the EU has no recourse.

1,000 years is time for a lot of generations to pass. Sure, your particular DNA might only make up some small amount of someone walking around in 1,000 years, but that is an action you can take in your lifetime that will be significant. Bonus points if you educate them well and give them the resources to be as successful as possible.
There is definitely a subsection of small business owners that operate that way (partially), but the overwhelming majority of cash flow is aboveboard (you can report cash to the tax authority, and yes this also happens) in my experience. To give you another anecdotal piece of data.
