> Start with not making it more complicated than it is: browser history is browser state that we should be able to go back to. When this is not the case, it does not go into browser history (strictly speaking about using the JavaScript history API here).

What is the state that we can go back to?

Is it the part of the app that we were on, or is it the part of the app + the content? Content these days is dynamic - if its gone, can we really 'go back to' it?

> This is a solved problem! The "deletion successful" message should not be its own page to begin with, that's what makes it look more complicated! A modal pop-up is the right answer here. (tangent: I'm sure we both agree that many problems are caused by trying to fix issues created by using the wrong initial solution)

That's not what's important, though. If 'deletion successful' is not its own page, then imagine that I then navigated to some other part of the app after deleting the image. What should happen when I press the back button?

a) Go to the "Do you want to delete this image" screen.

b) Go to a "No image found" screen.

c) ???

Option a) is misleading, because the image has already been deleted. Option b) is abuse of the back button, because we have not returned to old state.

> In the case where different pages are warranted, for example within a photo gallery on Facebook or Imgur, the pop-up still happens on the page linking to the uploaded-but-now-deleted photo, followed by a redirect to, say, the main gallery. The link to the uploaded photo should then become a 404 page, because it is now an invalid link.

When I click the back button in my browser, I see a cached version of the webpage I previously visited. What you described is not the behaviour I expect, (and is another way of breaking the back button).

> And some of those answers will be right, most will be wrong, and some will depend on the desired context. But presenting hypothetical exceptional cases does not prove there is no such thing as really obviously bad design. There are exceptions, but they are just that: exceptions. They don't invalidate the question as a good first guiding principle to start from.

These aren't edge cases and exceptions. This is trying to shoehorn a leaky abstraction (the browser back button) into a paradigm where it is often inappropriate, surprising, or just plain unworkable (pretty much everything you do in rich webapps). Your operating system doesn't have a 'back' button for that very same reason.

If your app has a consistent (Internally, and with how the rest of the web works) definition of what going 'back' is, great. Implement it. If it doesn't, that's also fine. 'The back button doesn't work in your app' is not, in itself, a sufficient heuristic for a poor design.
It is hell. The difference between having a third (or second) world passport and a US passport is night and day. Worst of all is the attitude at embassies from some washed-up diplomat-wannabes who show open animosity and derision towards you and your kind and get a sweet power trip out of each such interaction. It is literally a hellish experience I don't wish anyone to go through...

You might want to watch "Making a Murderer". Or, for the UK equivalent, have a look at the Cleveland Child Abuse Scandal (where social workers were asking children questions like "Tell us the truth, you're not going home until you tell us what Daddy did to you").

The police can, and do, subject people to coercive interrogation techniques. These techniques have been designed to extract a confession, whether you're guilty or not.
“Cultural fit” is just a marketing term for personal bias.

If the hiring manager doesn’t drink beer, they aren't looking to hire someone to drink beer with, they will tend to hire the person who also doesn’t drink beer...conforming to their personal bias. Of course that has nothing to do with qualifications, and it is to damning to admit personal bias...in comes “cultural fit” which sounds sophisticated and in the interest of the company.

Talk to the same people promoting “cultural fit” about diversity, and watch the mental gymnastics of them simultaneously claiming they want diversity of candidates, diversity of thought/experience...so long as the diversity falls within the scope of “cultural fit”. It’s a lot like university giving professors tenure, sure you can have tenure and be protected from termination based on individual opinion after you prove to the university your opinion conforms to the university’s way of thinking and “fit”.
There were pretty much no 20th century ones either.
Agreed. I feel it missing myself a lot when I'm communicating with people - I will often realize in retrospect that the problem was the definition of terms, not the facts at hand or opinions of the participants. It's galling, and I wish there were a better way to learn such skills.

Just open the borders and let the third-world openly travel and immigrate to the first world.

To the non-college working-class that these anti-third-world policies are designed to protect: If your job can be taken by a third-worlder, then that's YOUR fault. You were given the privilege to learn skills that third-worlders don't have, but you didn't take advantage of that. You are in effect, a third-worlder, and society has no responsibility to protect you from them.

We, as a society, paid thousands of dollars to send you to school for 12 years to teach you calculus and literature and world history and what not, only for you to get your ass handed to you by an illiterate third-worlder? And you expect us to protect you? lol good luck with that. Just the ability to speak English is a minimum skill that should prevent you from losing your job.

Partition will report it’s 1TB large[0]. You should perhaps read about the software before continuing to post comments claiming it’s unfit for purpose. There is a list of considerations that a TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt user with stricter security requirements would have to keep in mind, following all of it makes it fairly difficult to discover hidden partitions. The people who wrote and maintain the software aren’t dumb either.

I also highly recommend the Twisbi Eco - more expensive (I think 30 dollars), but piston filled, which means you can buy any fountain-pen inks from anywhere and use them.

I've had mine for... I don't know, maybe a year? I love it.

It's difficult to articulate, but it makes writing feel more pleasurable somehow - not just because it writes well (although it does), but because the entire experience feels less "disposable", if that makes any sense. It feels good to fill it with ink from a glass bottle, even something as simple as unscrewing the cap and posting it is just a really tiny joy. I like that I can see the ink splashing around in it.

I'm sure millage would vary on this, but I've also found that because I enjoy writing more with it, my handwriting and attention to detail has also become better. My cursive has gotten much better over the past year.

If you use ballpoint pens, then you don't know what you're missing out on. If you use decent rollerball pens, you still might enjoy a fountain pen more. It's such a frivolous, unnecessary purchase - but it's still pretty high up on my list of things that I'm routinely glad I bought.

You're missing the point, which is that LEO and courts will (reasonably!) make the following inference:

"MIGHT be another password-protected partition"
->
"is a password-protected partition"

You can disagree with that thinking all you want, but it won't do you any good if the people thinking that are in control of your destiny.
As a counterpoint, even with Lamy fountain pens I had constant problems with ink leaking and nibs drying out. I gave up on them in favor of high-quality ball pens some time ago.

> I wonder if there's any type of plastic filament that could do the job.

On a practical note, probably not: the designers probably tried really hard to make a fully plastic gun - they took the trouble to make the barrel out of plastic - but didn't. Stands to reason that it's due to necessity.

At a more theoretical level, I think you'd find it exceedingly difficult to trigger a primer using a material softer than the primer itself.

I'm sure it's not impossible - for example, you could probably trigger a primer by shooting it with a plastic bullet - but within the engineering confines of a handgun it seems implausible, particularly since the easy solution, using a nail, is so readily available.

It can, that's how GNOME works today. It's not how it generally works on X, though, and it's not very modular.

As far as security is concerned, our layer shell protocol assumes that the client is trusted. We're working on ways of securely allowing third-parties to access this, but it's possible today to start implementing layer shell and restrict its use to trusted clients.

>BTW, I'm hoping for animated wallpaper on my desktop

This is possible with the layer shell protocol I'm talking about.

As a holder of a weak passport (India), I'm surprised that the author hasn't used the most effective hack for "powering up" a passport: getting a US visitor (B1/B2) visa.

A US B1/B2 Visitor Visa will generally get you into an additional dozen or so countries (sometimes more), as outlined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_United_Stat... (see "Use for other countries" section). This list crucially includes Turkey, which the author could have used for applying for an EU visa from Istanbul instead of going home.

Not to mention that the US Visitor Visa will let you visit the US for up to 6 months at a time for the next 10 years for a reasonably modest fee of ~$200. Also unlike other countries you don't need to document a plan to visit the US and your visa remains valid even if your passport expires and you get a new passport.

Given all this, I'm not sure why the author hasn't made this (relatively) small investment.

If you're opposed to getting a US visa for ethical reason, you can also pull off the same (albeit to a lesser degree) via a Canadian/British/Schengen visitor visa (roughly in that order).
If you're the CIA, you have installed dark fiber or at least satellites bridging your Chinese Tor nodes to the rest of the worldwide Tor network.
From my understanding of Bernie's "Medicare For All" bill (S. 1804) [1] payment to providers would be fixed at the, well, Medicare rate. Medicare rates are about 40% lower than private insurance (about 56% of national healthcare spending is private), but it's also higher than Medicaid and obviously higher than what the uninsured pay. All-in-all, from the figures I've seen [2], this specific single-payer plan would lead to about a 10.6% [3] overall reduction in payment to providers (some of which will be ameliorated by a reduction in costs that maintain complicated insurance administration work at hospitals) but I imagine providers will generally take some percent hit to payments which would in turn affect physician salaries (albeit not drastically)

Sure, but then nothing you do matters.

Imagine the situation where you really ARE innocent. Jail for life? Possible, but whether you are innocent or not doesn't change anything.

Yes, the police could just jail you for life or kill you. But that's ALWAYS the case. They'd do that to you anyway of you are innocent
>What determines if a process can take a screenshot or not

We're slowly working on standardizing means of granting third-party software access to these protocols, but a cross-compositor mechanism has not yet been built. It is entirely possible for the compositor to only allow certain clients to use certain protocols, though. A mechanism like Android's "grant app this permission" popup, for example, might be possible. Today sway lets you configure different executables to receive different policies.
This has varied over time. I've found that it's definitely more about "who you'd like to have a beer with" at early-to-mid stage startups, and becomes more about actually being someone you'll both be effective working alongside, as well as being someone you'll enjoy* working with, as the company matures.

*enjoy here means that you'll be able to enjoy a non-toxic work atmosphere, will be able to provide and receive constructive criticism and comments about your contributions; the healthy working relationship does sometimes lead to enjoying having a beer with them from time to time, but the former is definitely the primary goal in trying to find a culture fit.
Tools like this do not do free space management unless you've unlocked all hidden partitions. You are responsible for that. If you fill your partitions beyond capacity, you corrupt the other data in your other hidden partitions. Of course, unless you've unlocked all the hidden partitions you care about - then it can. However, well designed tools that do this have no way of knowing if you have.
Finding and blasting every peer is a bit harder, especially since pieces of content are encrypted on peer nodes, AFAICT. It's not any easier than to blast every peer torrenting chinks of a particular file (which, AFAICT, is still unheard of).

> being forced onto Dat or IPFS is equivalent to being erased

Yes, for now it is! It's a wild frontier without amenities for a normal netizen, such as a decent search engine.

> The incentive being, that with a tax payer funded system, money should go to those who actually need it.

The idea that people, absent the profit motive, will work solely to the benefit of society is not correct. They're always selfishly motivated - career advancement, risk aversion, corruption, etc.

For example, if the doctor gets punished for prescribing to junkies, he's going to reduce his risk by avoiding prescribing to legitimate pain patients, just to be on the safe side.

Pray you don't get into a situation where you've got painful, terminal cancer and the doctor won't prescribe opiates because you might get addicted.
Culture fit is about creating a group of people who like each other enough to be willing to work free overtime together, sometimes out of feelings of duty to "the team".

It's very difficult to judge a candidate during an interview on those vectors. It's much easier to tell whether they look/sound/act like the people you work with, whether you're doing it consciously or not.

At a recent job the engineers were asked to look for new candidates from their social networks at the same time as we were asked to look for more diverse candidates. I pointed out the inherent contradiction, and was met with effectively a shrug.
Yikes. I've seen that in small scale, with copypasted auto-generated code (although not Smalltalk) reaching 5k lines or so at a manufacturing company. But what you're talking about is a whole other level of bad.
That's a half-truth: Mastadon itself can't and won't block anything.

In the Mastadon network, users live on instances which all talk to each other. Each instance can choose to block any other instance.

If a user doesn't like their instance's policies, they can join another instance with less, different, or no blocks. Alternatively, a technical user can run their own instance and federate with other instances from there.

Your linked article claims, "running and administering your own social server is friggin’ expensive". This isn't true: a $5/month VPS can easily host a Mastadon instance for a dozen users, and requires less than a few minutes of administration per month.
> But to date, delivery devices like the adrenaclick have not been considered equivalent to epipen. Some states permit a substitution in these cases (a 'BX' rating instead of 'AB'), but many do not allow it without getting clarification from the prescriber.

Because, unlike the generic version described in the original article, none of those were generic versions of the EpiPen. They were alternate delivery systems.
If you have the data from breaches listed on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ you can already get access to some of his passwords (not tested of course). It seems like the "nothing to hide"-philosophy has also been applied to the password complexity.

At the end of the day, the fact that you have this sw installed will make it fair to infer that you are using this feature. You can disagree, but it's what the courts say that matters here, not what I say.

“People I’d want to have a beer with” seems like a decent proxy for “people who aren’t assholes.” Nothing wrong with turning down a candidate because he seems like an asshole.
The problem is that you could totally have truecrypt installed and not have a second hidden partition. There is no way to prove that you do. Of course, the court could throw you in jail for not being able to provide something that doesn't exist anyway, but yeah....I'd hope that the lack of proof here would help you win the case.
