> There'd probably be a blog post about how Chrome 70 will automatically create fresh Google cookies to keep you logged in to the browser after you delete them.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic and there's no real-world difference, but I'm a little more okay with the browser creating new cookies whenever they're cleared vs not clearing cookies when asked.

Not entirely okay with it, mind you. Especially since browser logins are now two-way.
Interesting - I'm not sure it will be able to replace products like aseprite, but it might supplement them.
OK, try being and OEM who wants to use Android but without Google integration in a country where Google is legal. I think Amazon backs up that point, not yours.
People always wonder why I’m reluctant to talk about what it was like growing up as a poor kid in nyc.

Taking a 'risk'.

I was working in an infra/support role at a state government run education institute, and following a reasonably interesting (compared to most of the work) project I started looking for work I would enjoy more (than the regular stuff) elsewhere.

I got a call from an interstate contracting agency (and I still don't know how this part happened) about a job I couldn't do (flash dev) and didn't apply for. I explained that I hadn't applied and wasn't interested but then they mentioned they were also looking to fill a federal government contract for a front-end developer. I had been applying for web jobs (despite having zero commercial experience in it, it'd been what I originally intended to do when I started studying years earlier) so I said I was interested, and within 10 days (I think? It was a while ago) I had confirmation I'd won the contract, over someone with 10 years experience.

I've long since moved back towards ops/infra (albeit in a web focus - load balancers and DB clusters rather than desktop management policies and file/print servers) and dev-tooling type stuff, but that first big step - away from family, and a reasonably safe government job, to a fixed-term contract definitely played a big part in getting me where I am now.

I definitely forgot about the sharing aspect of Turtl, thanks for that reminder! I also understand your point of being able to provide a service, and I hope that it is successful for you when premium launches! If you haven't already, you should also consider looking into setting up Patreon as an option for donating towards the development of Turtl.

I re-downloaded 0.6.x for now to give it another try. One of the things I remember not being completely happy with was the web clipper. Has that changed at all with 0.7.0, or do you plan on improving it in the near-future?

> Open Source Column-Oriented Databases: There are three available open source column databases, all were based on works of research groups that later saw commercial spinoffs. C-Store produced vertica, MonetDB spawned Vectorwise and LucidDB was DynamoBI. Each project has stagnated as the team around them moved on to commercial endeavours. Only MonetDB appears to be still actively developed, it's also the one that seems most feature complete as we'll see later.

Is the above an accurate characterization of OSS column-oriented databases?

There is also MapD which uses GPUs, https://github.com/mapd/mapd-core

> MapD Core is an in-memory, column store, SQL relational database that was designed from the ground up to run on GPUs.
Yikes! This is a non-starter for me. I have 4 keys (3 stored in safe places - yes this is inconvenient when setting up a new account, but this is the trade-off for security). What a strange decision.

For me, it was so that when I'm somewhere I don't know, I can type 'home' into the maps search box and get directions.

I turned off Google's activity tracking on iOS a couple of months ago, and only realised that Google Maps wasn't storing my home location when I used it for directions while stuck in traffic and it sent me to a nearby nursing home instead of my house.

I ended up turning activity tracking back on, because Apple maps still isn't fit for purpose where I live (Ireland). I often need directions down small rural roads, and four times out of five Apple Maps won't recognise the destination address, or will send me to a nearby but incorrect location.
Long story short: Medical waivers; bureaucracy; initial screening and training as well as the peculiar program I was in and my place in it at the time.

7 Things to Watch Out for in Your PostgreSQL Deployment
Ray Kurzweil has written extensively on the timing aspect. He attempts to identify the necessary prerequisites. I think it's an important question to ask when thinking of a potential startup: "Is the market ready for this?". Then equally important is not squandering that first mover advantage.

About this book
Microsoft's management cannot make their mind what it is good for, mainly because FP is not really something that 99% of typical enterprise developers care about.

When they made it officially part of .NET, it was the black swan of .NET languages with tooling only for libraries and command line applications.

Afterwards they attempted to position it as a language for ASP.NET MVC applications.

Then they largely left it for the community as F# was one of their very first FOSS projects.

Meanwhile the new MDIL compiler came out for Windows 8.x, followed by .NET Native, none of them support MSIL features required by F#.

Likewise .NET Core only accounted for C# and VB.NET, and they are still reimplementing type providers and the REPL for it.

Finally after all these years F# still lacks tooling for Forms, WPF and EF.

Meanwhile C# keeps getting some F# features.

Currently F# is being positioned as a language for data science with its type providers and Azure Netbooks.
The big question for Google: What revenue stream lies beyond ads? What else could you make money off to inspire again? Rather then just selling out your users on a daily basis.
They look very neat.

This would come from a tradeoff between going very bold with something that won't have a chance in a million to become the future, or staying very close to the present and showing an iteration on what could be the next year's model.

For context, the Audi TT went out in 1998:
https://www.autoevolution.com/cars/audi-tt-coupe-1998.html

Audi was iterating actual products on designs very close I think to seat's concept cars.
Now don't get me wrong: I'm a big fan of Firefox, and have used the dev edition as my main work browser since Quantum came out. However, that's a terrible attitude to take. You have half a billion dollars per year of revenue. The second-largest desktop platform should be a major priority. Certainly above all of the other non-core-Firefox projects you're working on, however cool they may be.
I thought that's what was happening. Maybe that was just when you delete individual Google cookies.
*Point 3 on meritocracy: The Marine Corps aviation community's entire qualification basis revolves around merit: your ability to plan, brief, and execute complex missions is directly reflected in your placement in the squadron.

Even rank gets thrown out the window to a degree. Our little community in particular (the HMLA) is a meritocracy that is enforced on a tribal level.
This is worse than not removing them as your bandwith cap would drain.
Tales for children
I quit my job as a "research scientist" and joined a startup building developer tools.

I got paid less and I had to work harder.

The pay-off? I learnt more in those two years than I would in ten years in another job.

Since then my general philosophy has been to find jobs based on maximising my rate of learning.
Your comment makes me think I'm misunderstanding identity management on SSB: don't marginalized folk usually maintain multiple "firewalled" social media identities? Is this not the default state of the Manyverse, with users hacking identity correlation by claiming "I, X, am also Y (proof)"? The worst case scenario here in terms of false claims and doxxing does not seem different than the mainstream social media services - am I mistaken?
I believe in the mathematical community the potentially offensive term for outsiders is non-trivial, used in a technically correct manner, but oftentimes applied as synonymous of epically hard, which unexpectedly throws people off, especially the author of that non-trivial work!
Great feedback. I just wish I could migrate my Chrome sync data to another account (or away from one).

IPv6 fixes the problem of NAT, and for now most of the copyright spam bots have no support for IPv6. On mobile, IPv6 provides connectivity that is tens of milliseconds better, and wireline providers like Centurylink have direct peering only on IPv6 to Hurricane Electric and other price oriented, IPv6 first mover transit providers

On the topic of DMCA notice bots, they fail to respond to DMCA counter notices FYI, and both Comcast and Centurylink do not handle counter notices properly (despite the latter claiming to).

IMO a DMCA notice that gets counter noticed (where the receiver of the DMCA notice asks for more details, as they are unable to verify any infringement) and doesn't get responded to should go as a black mark against the group that sent the original DMCA notice, as it was a plainly fraudulent DMCA notice.
Doesn’t mean ads will die. Even if you pull everyone out of poverty, there’d be plenty of people who might not have cash to spare or even be unwilling to pay for all the content they consume. Plus there’s the slightly increased friction to paying compared to not paying and viewing ads. You have to make an active effort to pay, especially with micro-transactions, every time.
Joining the aerospace sector after graduation and leaving it some 6 six after that. I learned ao much about complexity in general and complex systems during this time that it was possible to basically build my entire career on it. I've been lucky as well I guess to have the opportunity from day one to take on responsibility and learn.

Leaving aerospace because I was able to retain flexibility, career-wise, personally and more importantly intellectual. Aerospace is great sector to work in but also very, very special. Not having any experience in other sectors carries the risk to end up limited to that sole industry.

Now I ended up again in aerospace, and so far it most of the tome feels like coming home, just with a lot more skills and experience most people don't have.

I have to add, so, that all of the above might seem like a great plan in retrospect. Reality is it was mostly unconscious, except for the part of quiting aerospace. The underlying goal, unconscious as it has been, was to seek out new opportunities to learn and develop new skills. This process got more and more conscious as I got older.

Yes, and maybe one last piece of advice. It is not, under any circumstances what so ever, worth it to sacrifice your private life of your health for a simple job. Most of the time we are not literally saving lives, and even if you cannot do that when you burn out and get a heart attack or something like that. Know when it is necessary to give all you have for the cause/mission/task and when not. And never ever do that just because.

The Trouble with Cryptocurrency’s Viral Growth
The cookies thing could be seen as a bug: the button does remove the cookies, but because your google sign in state is now tied to the browser sign in state, new cookies will immediately be set.

To fix this, the “remove cookies” button would also have to sign you out of chrome which would also feel weird from a UX perspective.

All in all I think this was just released a bit early before all UX edge cases could be tackled (or even discovered. Sometimes you find things only in wider rollouts)

There’s two issues here-

1) They switched away from UDP, now use TCP. So NAT traversal / punching isn’t possible.

2) Even if UDP was used there’s still some network setups that aren’t traversal friendly, such as most cellular/LTE networks where port mappings are unpredictable.

Top line optimization instead of everything else. I pay for a gym trainer, have someone dry clean my clothes, have a rideshare pass and a Muni/BART pass. The spending gets rapidly wiped out just in my growth each year post-tax.

My greatest worry now is that I can’t spend myself into more time any more and need to make personal improvements instead (like not reading so much social media like HN)
A Taiwanese explained to me that since they have to pay for the official trash bags they care about how much stuff they can fit into that bag. Consequentially they compact the trash, take out whatever can be recycled and in general spend some time dealing/thinking about trash. This makes the problem of trash more personal to them so they actively think about it and care more about how much trash is produced. I have seen many Taiwanese carry around a non-disposable set of chopsticks, a glass bottle for water that they fill up at various places and some even have a glass straw.

Also the garbage trucks don't seem to always stop, it was funny to me watching people coming from all directions and running after the truck and throwing the bags in :-).

Can I choose to sync just the new content since I joined? Or since let's say June 2017? And can I clear the previous content synced on my device? If nothing then, let's say, for need for free disk space.

Also, I have installed the Manyverse app on my Android phone (hoping it would not be as resource intensive as Patchwork) - but shall I have do everything all over again if I ever to go for a desktop app or any other app on any device (as it seems from other comments in this post) - every invite being added again and so on?

(Edit) And Manyverse is another decentralised app that is using ScuttleButt protocol, right? And the Android app is a way to access "just this app/social network" on the SSB network - or not on a network really since it's P2P. Did I get it right?

I have watched the video and it made things a lot clearer and the heartbreaking story was touching :) But now I think Manyverse might just be a "pub" on SSB :)
I'm a happy qutebrowser user, too; but I too would've liked some password manager integration (to the point where I considered investing some time into the Keepass RPC API, since that's my pwd manager of choice).

I really like the suckless approach to GUIs in this case. Yes, you don't get stuff like automatic url matching with this, and you have to manually add new entries, but its functionality is works great for me nontheless.

Maybe, there's also an easy way for you to get (or write) a dmenu interface for 1password?

No Such Thing As A Fish - from the team who do research for the show QI

ABC Radio Nation does quite a few great shows, you’ll find them at http://abc.net.au/rn
maps.me works pretty well, they use open street map data augmented with ad based reccomendations. You download maps so you don’t need wifi to navigate. Best for walking or biking directions, getting better for driving
At a minimum, it's nice to read this tracking relies on the 4g wifi from OnStar to be active (included in the higher-tier of their paid service). Nice, because I've cancelled their service. However, even after you've cancelled OnStar, there is still basic tracking enabled, but not this radio non-sense.

If they're going to sell our listening habits and whatever else, then at least they can give us the wifi for free.

After getting a GM/Chevy recently, it reminded me of removing the bloatware on a cheap Windows laptop, except in this case, I didn't have the option to install a fresh OS. It comes bundled with free trials of OnStar and Sirius, both of which employ tactics to keep you onboard. Sigh...
Considering that 5.12 is an LTS release, they are evaluating to separate WebEngine from the normal QT release cycle.

> This is still under research, but there seem to be quite tangible benefits from carving out Qt WebEngine to a separate item. Current thinking it that as a separate item we should be able to release Qt WebEngine every three months, following nicely the schedule of Chromium releases every six weeks. For Qt 5.12 LTS users this would mean the possibility to get not only the security updates, but a full new Chromium version supported on top of the long-term-supported release of Qt.

Yes, this is one of the things that most surprised me about having kids. I know it sounds trite and insufferable to say "I didn't understand until I had children", but I have totally lost the ability to deal with seeing anything involving harm to children. It really came home to me a few years ago when I was watching the news and literally burst into tears when this image came on[1]. I'd never had anything like that happen before, and I was really shocked at my reaction. Even now, searching for that link, I found it hard to keep it together. I saw the BBC thread when it was first posted, and it's an incredible piece of reporting, but I was very careful to not watch the video.
