As far as I can gather, it's a media coined theme.

Similar to the "alternative influencer network" that they coined for YouTubers.

The whole thing is grasping at straws really. The medias seems to think that everyone who is in the edgy/troll/internet/meme culture are working together for some nefarious purpose.

Their latest smearing campaign is against free thinkers, podcasters and debaters... or using their words, the "Intellectual Dark Web".

The only relation those people (both thinkers and influencers) have is that they use the Internet to 𝐚) spread their content and 𝐛) reference each other and sometimes collaborate together. Both of those actions are done by every content creators online no matter their intentions. Collaborations and networking is the basis of the internet.

The Russian Revolution is complicated. There was a "February" revolution in Feb 1917 that was loosely classical liberal, then an "October" socialist/communist coup d'etat that effectively subverted, or 'disrupted', the dynamic that had been going on for much of the previous year.

The media has been running a smear campaign on Facebook for months now.
Kompromat has been a normal part of the Russian political culture going back to negative rumors against Kerensky in 1917, and yet Russian society has not adapted a lenient attitude about it. Rather, the opposite happens, the public develops the attitude that everyone is corrupt and the right way to fight this is to make a severe example of anyone who gets caught.

True. In fact, if you can self-host things, you have already solved most of the data-related concerns.

But with YourNote, my other aim is to allow users to also move out of the app in case they don't feel like using it. That's why we have features like "Export Notes" that exports the data in clean, hierarchical `.md` files. This way they always have easy access to their data.
> MSI packages may very well be supported for at least a few more years on Windows 10

This sounds like someone making installer stuff would say. MSI will be supported on modern OSes for much longer than "a few more years".

VB6 apps created in 1998 will be supported until 2025 at least. MSIs will be treated the same.
Nitpick, but like many things in America that varies from state to state. Many have "open primaries" where you just show up and request whichever party's ballot you want.

Facebook basically punked the entire news industry with the video nonsense. Trusting them killed a lot of jobs. A lot of jobs of people who write articles.

So I doubt[1] that there's an organized campaign against them of the sort they launched against Soros. But much like, if you punch a cop, you have to expect it won't end well, destroying a bunch of news rooms isn't going to endear you to the journalists picking up the pieces.

[1] Could be wrong.
My experience is similar since its with Amazon support and separate from AWS. My account, encompassing everything covered my Amazon credentials, was put on hold for "address verification" two weeks ago and handed to the "Accounts Team". This means, no buying anything on Amazon for the holidays and zero access to my AWS account, Lambdas, S3 buckets, etc. Just a mind-numbing cycle of phone trees and "we are looking into this".

I cannot even sign into my Washington Post subscription. Thanks, Bezos!
> So they lied in the first response (all data is wiped and unrecoverable)

Not defending Mailchimp, but keep in mind the perspective and context. To a customer support agent using some backend interface, it very well could be "completely wiped". To an escalation team, they may be able to pull it from backups in an "unofficial" manner.
> How can you support something blatantly bad as this unless you work for that company?

I tend to agree with the point made in a different part of the thread that arguing against people based on the company they work for is not productive. People are more than just cogs in a machine and have a right to be regarded as such, even if it's just for the sake of argument.

The correct question for DannyBee might be How can you support something blatantly bad as this even if you work for that company?

I'm sure there are plenty of Googlers who would have a problem with deliberately adding a misfeature to a site to slow down a competitor's browser, plenty would fix a bug like that if it were reported and it was really just a bug, etc. Those guys aren't all in leadership positions...
“In after-years he liked to think that he had been in Very Great Danger during the Terrible Flood, but the only danger he had really been in was in the last half-hour of his imprisonment, when Owl, who had just flown up, sat on a branch of his tree to comfort him, and told him a very long story about an aunt who had once laid a seagull’s egg by mistake, and the story went on and on, rather like this sentence, until Piglet who was listening out of his window without much hope, went to sleep quietly and naturally, slipping slowly out of the window towards the water until he was only hanging on by his toes, at which moment luckily, a sudden loud squawk from Owl, which was really part of the story, being what his aunt said, woke the Piglet up and just gave him time to jerk himself back into safety and say, “How interesting, and did she?” when—well, you can imagine his joy when at last he saw the good ship, The Brain of Pooh (Captain, C. Robin; 1st Mate, P. Bear) coming over the sea to rescue him.”

Because not everyone using a mailing list service is technically capable of doing this, or understands why it's even necessary? I never used MailChimp but if I did then I would assume that the mailing lists I built with their service would be 99.999% secure, and that I'd always be able to access it even if they went out of business. Reading this thread with many users claiming similar experiences is quite frankly shocking.
I am curious, aren't we allowed to identify as whatever we want these days? As a male what would happen if I went up and told them I identify as a female?
Personally, I have been disappointed in them for years, but folks will finally listen, so I'm talking about it more often.

No one has paid me or offered to pay me to do so.
It also sounds like access to certain APIs was much more limited than the NYT article implied:

> When you hear things like read/write access that access was only granted when the user gave permission. For example, if you share a Netflix link to messenger, the post is coming from Netflix.

> If you're sharing using messenger, you're able to search who you're sharing with through Netflix. If you then delete the message within Netflix, it would delete on Facebook. Very similar to using Tweetdeck for Twitter - same permissions
There are no term limits for steering council members, assuming they are doing the job adequately the core team can just let them continue in their seat.

As someone who has been both the server baby sitter and implementor of auto-healing/scaling, it still puts a smile on my face when a server fails a health check, AWS kills it, starts another one, and moves the work over. All with zero downtime. I just see the emails in the morning that it happened.

The other huge benefit of building this process is we can use dirt cheap spot instances with near abandon. For me, any infrastructure that I can't treat as cattle is on my hit list.
It's clear that you have a very different idea of what I am talking about than I do. The comment about "tabula rasa state of mind" makes no sense to me. First of all, I want to focus on this part of your comment:

> IMO, there is no need to explicitly teach something incorrect only to be able to un-teach the very same thing later. At best you alienate students because they feel either confused, lied to, or patronized.

This is an impossible demand for science education, because every model of the atom we could possibly teach is "incorrect". You could teach students only the most recent, most accurate theories of the world, but at this point in time that means starting with something like relativistic field theory and that approach is obviously wrong.

If there is a scientific gospel, the gospel is "test your theories", and you can accomplish that by teaching students about the Bohr model. "Here is a theory about how atoms work, the theory is useful because it opened the door to quantum mechanics, it explained phenomena like the hydrogen spectra given by Rydberg, but it was known to have certain shortcomings." This gives students a case study for the scientific method. We can put an electric current through hydrogen gas and look at the spectrum with a prism or diffraction grating. We can calculate a formula for the spacing of the spectral lines. Then, we can come up with a model for how the atom works which explains those lines. Finally, this leads to more observations which contradict the model, and the process repeats.

This is the scientific process, and if you are not teaching the scientific process, you are not teaching science.

The reason you might use the Bohr model specifically is because many of the related experiments can be replicated in a school laboratory by students of relatively modest mathematical ability... just algebra is enough.

And to be clear here, we are not teaching the Bohr model as fact. It's not going to be "un-taught" or "un-learned". Other theories you would often teach in a chemistry class include phlogiston theory, again, because the experiments disproving it are easy enough to run in a typical high school chemistry class, not because phlogiston theory is particularly useful.

It should have been pretty obvious from context that the OP wasn't talking about "system administrators", but rather the more common definition of "administrator".
Yes and no. OCaml already has one of the fastest production compilers in the world, acceptable error messages (better than Haskell's, anyway), a great REPL (utop), a high-quality and well-documented build system (dune), a powerful package manager (opam), and a very good language server for IDE integration (merlin).

What it's sorely missing right now is higher quality documentation output. Currently, it's hard to navigate the generated documentation (e.g., no search bar), it's not held in a centralized online location, and it doesn't do a great job dealing with complex module/functor hierarchies (especially in the presence of destructive substitution).

Unfortunately, much of what I described above doesn't come out of the box. To fix this, the OCaml community is seeking to emulate Rust's cargo tool via the development of the ocaml-platform: http://ocamllabs.io/doc/platform.html

An aside: I didn't know Java had good tooling. I know it recently gained a good REPL. But what is the official package manager, and where is the centralized repository for packages?
100% agree. Any kind of booby trap that does more than make annoying sounds is a liability, even if it's in your own home. It's also important to note that in two-party consent states the camera footage wouldn't be admissible in court for prosecuting the thieves, so as an actual deterrent that part is pretty low unless you're going for social shaming or something.

Their lack of willingness to make executive-level changes is appalling given what has come out in the last 12 months. They still refuse to fully cooperate on various investigations involving foreign interference, and have shown practically no remorse for their negligence in these cases.

They've brought every ounce of this pressure on themselves by shirking their responsibility as a corporate citizen.
I can’t upvote you enough.

The retort to this is usually along the lines of “we are moving fast and need people to write 100% correct code”. Perhaps that’s the case, but the solution is to put guidelines down (api review, unit testing, etc) instead of demanding people be infallible.

In this case a reasonable test case beyond “Did it compile?!?” Would have caught this.
HAProxy supports quite complex configurations. We've actually found that many of our users are only realizing extremely basic capabilities so we have been working on increasing our blog content to help them take advantage of some of the more complex configurations that can be done. We've even found that many users are not aware that HAProxy now supports Hitless Reloads [1].

Quite a bit of complex routing and dynamic configurations can be provided by map files [2] and these and many other settings can be updated directly from the Runtime API [3].

With that said -- we are actively working to make things even better and intend to introduce support for updating SSL certificates/keys directly through the Runtime API as well as introducing a Data Plane API for HAProxy.

We have a new release coming any day now and this will lay the foundation that will allow us to continue to provide best-in-class performance while accelerating cutting edge feature delivery.

> difficult but real situation

His first argument is that it's currently too expensive to have any innovation. This tunnel cost 10 millions $. Sure it's usage is still hypothetical, but you can't say this won't be much more accessible to innovate.

I'm in Montreal, our subway barely changed in the past 30 years. I was lucky, I was affected by one of the only change they did in theses 30 years, 3 more stations on an already completely full line. That came with a 745m$ price for 3 stations that sure allowed people further to take it, but it didn't increase at all the actual capacity. It's hard for any of our administration to even consider any major expansion because of that.

If making smaller projects now make sense, maybe we will see more innovation in the technology, in how they are handled, etc...
Your version is still a big improvement. I only have to look up event sourcing now. But I would throw a couple of the benefits of event sourcing into that elevator pitch. Others already have. Here's mine, now that I've learned a little more:

"Wolkenkit: A JavaScript library for building event-sourcing applications.

Event sourcing is an alternative to relational databases and uses a transaction log as the primary source of data which gives you a true history of how data has changed. This allows you to put your application in any prior state which is useful for debugging, audit, traceability, and easier backups along with other benefits. Wolfenkit is the fastest JavaScript event sourcing framework by far."

I'm sure someone could do even better than that. But now any programmer who comes across this knows what event sourcing is at a very basic level, some of the benefits, and why this particular framework should be considered. A lot accomplished.

I also think it's fair to point out that "user interface" is a term every programmer knows. I typically read an hour or two a day from a variety of tech sources to keep up on best practice in programming, and I just now heard of event sourcing. I could just be out of it, but Google search shows about 219,000 results for "event sourcing" and about 78 million results for "user interface". I think I'm on solid ground saying that one deserves to be explained and the other is common knowledge.

EDIT: here is another one liner from another comment that I think works great: "Wolkenkit is a framework that allows you to save and replay your entire business's history so you never miss a key insight again." No jargon. Gives a key benefit. I'm interested. Maybe even as a business person. Tell me more.
Facebook is a quasi-monopoly. Its threat comes from regulators, not consumers nor advertisers. (You saw something similar with Uber, by the way. When they lost their Teflon coating, prosecutors and municipal regulators got bold while their grassroots supporters melted away.)

From an initial glance it seems OpsMop is more of an extension of Python than a stand-alone tool built using it.

I think OpsMop allows you to create Python scripts that include deployment tasks along with "standard" code.

An interesting approach in my opinion.

It's not like there is only one alternative. You can solve most of those problems by splitting large organization into smaller independent ones. Instead of wasting energy on elaborate bureaucracies and rules, people ought to spend some time on studying how to handle this "splitting" in the best way possible. Alas, most people like to play government.

I don't like that cz.nic decided to make something so different than vanilla OpenWRT. I use my Turris Omnia with vanilla OpenWRT and it kinda works. I still have an issue with /dev/urandom failing to return anything that I'm working on.

In general I don't understand why so many commercialized open source products end up forking an OSS project and then reinventing the wheel so much. The Turris folks wrote a lot of code and spent a lot of effort that they could have used to better the OpenWRT project and I don't really understand why.

I doubt I'll buy another product from cz.nic again.

Since this is public, I'll conclude by noting here that I had indeed read both of the articles, and a bunch of other text by both Bentley and Knuth besides. (In fact, the Programming Pearls books are particularly high on my list of recommendations...)
Do they have to lose users? I'm still a user, but my engagement is way down. I largely use it to organize events I am hosting. I might respond if someone tags me in something. Otherwise I'm basically not using it. Speaking of which, the last event I hosted I invited 30 people. 16 of them did not see the invite. It used to be I had a few people I had to text or email because they would not see a Facebook invite. Now I basically have to include an event on Facebook out of inertia, but it's not the primary way I invite people anymore.
And this is where/when/why Docker (or other 'container' concept) will win.
It's not just about separating business logic from "cloud plumbing". It's building you infrastructure around services that cannot simply be replaced elsewhere, or cannot be replaced easily - if you want to move from AWS Kinesis to (say) Kafka for message broking, or from DynamoDB to Postgres.

There is a reason Amazon gives away a lot of free credits to startups, and it's the same reason drug dealers give away free samples. If the economics are right, and growth is strong then you might be okay - but you also don't want to find yourself with a $100k/month AWS bill in a startup with only $2m of annual revenue.

It is still a lie.

Also keep in mind the perspective and context that the end user has no way of knowing.

And even if the data can be recovered in an unofficial manner whether they will actually bother is highly unlikely if they care as little as they most obviously do.

So, as a user it is a pretty safe bet to just assume it is gone (but do keep poking).
