I've been using Mermaid with MediaWiki and it has a lot of promise. Since Mermaid lets me generate diagrams from text and MediaWiki lets me store and modify structured data, I can have MediaWiki pass Mermaid data to generate graphs/diagrams that stay up-to-date as the wiki changes.

I would like to see Mermaid be able to group sibling nodes[0] though, once I can do that, I can autocreate really nice organizational charts :)

> The font family, called Go (naturally)

Meaning another search nightmare and all discussions about this font will need to be tagged "gofont" or similar. Oh well.

The gofont used for the body of that article is very reminiscent of Candara (or is it Nyala?). The monospaced font is surprisingly nice, though!

This is exactly what I was concerned about when the Alice decision came down. The problem is that abstractness is relative: abstractions exist in a hierarchy, such that what is abstract at one level is concrete relative to the next level above it. There is no absolute measurement of abstractness.

What I really want to see is for obviousness tests to be strengthened. I believe that in order for a patentee to sue for infringement, they should first have to present objective evidence that their idea is actually nonobvious, along the lines of the "Graham factors" [0]: commercial success, long-felt but unsolved needs, or failures of others.

The nonobviousness requirement has become toothless in recent years; the Federal Circuit has reduced it to a requirement that no prior art exist explicitly mentioning the invention. But lots of things are obvious that haven't been explicitly mentioned in some publication; indeed, many things aren't mentioned because they are obvious. And the PTO is poorly placed to evaluate nonobviousness; for one thing, one of the Graham factors, commercial success, may not exist at patent application time — one may have to wait a few years to see whether the invention gives rise to a viable business.

So the right time to evaluate obviousness is at the commencement of litigation.

Hats off to this person for jumping ship, I couldn't do it. I acquired a new contract recently that had a fairly heavy duty dev environment requirement (old rails app, mysql, elasticsearch, memcached, redis, nginx) and my ~2012 Macbook Air was choking on it.

I spent a few weeks really chewing on my next move. I was worried about the keyboard on the latest Macbook Pro's, that was really my only hesitation. I seriously considered the Thinkpad as well as the XPS but ultimately decided I couldn't afford to leave OS X.

There is a grass-is-greener mentality around leaving for Linux, because it's definitely improved, but it's still nowhere even close. I knew I would miss iMessage, my Airpods wouldn't work, i'd have all the strange issues with the clipboard or drivers, and I wouldn't be able to work on iOS applications.

I spent nearly 3k on this machine, but (knock on wood) my Apple gear has never let me down. Sure, there are ocassional issues but the gear is really in a league of its own in terms of quality and fit-finish. My 2012 Air made it through a handful of startups and side projects, rails apps, django apps, elixir, iOS, and traveled with me all over the world.

Hoping to get another 6+ years out of this. It's got 32gb of ram and the upgraded Radeon so I think it'll pull its weight for a while. I have come to REALLY love the keyboard and now older models feel antiquated to me (totally was not anticipating this), and the touchbar is not as annoying as so many people make it out to be.

In 2017 the local government of Munich announced that they are moving to Windows 10 by 2020, which is a real shame: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/13/munich_committee_sa...

I think one of their biggest issues is that they had made their own Linux distribution. That is really surprising, and is not the sort of forward-thinking and trendy project that a government organisation anywhere in the world would normally undertake.

If they used something like Ubuntu with paid support from Canonical, many of the issues they were facing might have been more easily solvable.

In regards to your question, a few years ago I set up Ubuntu Linux for a young family friend (still a child), and they have been fine.

They had never really gotten used to Windows and picked up the bad habits, so the transition was pretty easy. They don't do anything 'advanced' though, they just use the software that I pre-installed for them (Chrome, Steam, etc) and install updates when they are prompted. They never touch the terminal or anything.
"Closer in spirit" does not mean anything tangible in the real world, you are merely playing with words.

Solaris SMF is vastly simpler than systemd and has a much narrower scope and focus. I don't recall mentioning bash scripts in the post you replied to, so you are simply being disingenuous by presenting a false dichotomy.
"i don't see why language shouldn't reflect history, especially political language"

I do see why it shouldn't (unless you are historian, perhaps). If we are to move, as a society, beyond the discrimination of the past, we need to drop the divisive language, too.

It is why I think even the term "feminism" should be dropped and replaced with "gender equality movement" (perhaps in somewhat shorter, witty form).

I think, in general, to structure equality movements around specific identity makes sense in the beginning. But when the movement gains large enough support from society, it will become counter-productive, because it emphasizes the difference rather than sameness. (And I suspect for this very reason, many people, even women, support feminism but are avoiding the label itself.)
Yes, if you can justify using cmake on Windows. Most customers want an MSVC project though it seems.

That sounds less like "this device will never do these things" and more like "it will take some time for us to port software to do these things to this device." Which doesn't strike me as unreasonable, given the scope of what they're trying to accomplish.

And since they're building on existing open-source systems like GTK and Flatpak, if you don't want to wait for them to port a calculator to the device, you could presumably port one yourself. The source for GNOME Calculator is right here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calculator ;-)

Hum... Symlinks existence is declarative, configuration files are declarative. Running a specific piece of software to change the state of your service isn't declarative at all.
I put Ubuntu Mate on an old 2009 Macbook because it couldn't function with MacOs anymore. A wifi driver was the only thing it needed. Which, ended up being trivial to install. Everything else worked out of the box. Two finger gestures on the trackpad, audio, everything.

My current Dell Inspiron 7000 didn't need a single driver installed manually (with Ubuntu). Pretty impressive.
So it is social media?
There is some actual biology behind this. Many of the natal symptoms of aging promote "fake news" and what are generally considered "right wing" views. As one ages one's memory begins to slip. More recent memories slip first. So in the hard drive of one's mind, the past seems better and more reliable than the present. The nurse who visits once a week is a perpetual stranger not to be trusted. And if she speaks a strange language...
Using a VPN over Tor does the opposite of granting privacy.

If that VPN provider is compromised, Tor gave you no additional protection, just a shittier internet connection while you sent all your traffic to a compromised endpoint over an encrypted channel.

Using Tor over a VPN, it doesn't matter as much if the VPN provider is compromised-- your traffic is still scattered and encrypted by means of Tor itself.

Based on traffic analysis you can be identified either way so I can't speak to how well this holds up to hostile governments but in such cases the former is an amateur mistake likely to lead to your disappearance. The latter gives you more of a fighting chance.
I'm not ex military but I find Alex Jones legitimately hilarious and I'm astonished people take him seriously. Before I left fb I had an ex-Marine old friend from elementary school on my list and he shared conspiracy memes relentlessly, very much mirroring the stuff Russia used in the 2016 election meddling. He actually believed it. I gave up trying to debunk it and played along.

There will be higher skilled devs who are using Unity that are appalled by this business practice and will want to move to a more open platform.
I haven't heard of any of those except BEM. Which you are using at Shopify, you just might not know it's called that. And it's not really a tech, it's just the style of naming css classes, "block element modifier" like on your home page: "marketing-form__fallback-cta" - marketing-form is the block, "__fallback-cta" is the element (only has meaning within the block), and if you had something like "--purplesmoke" that would be the modifier.

It's not digital literacy, it's literacy.

Older people grew up believing in religion, in fact they could be beaten mercilessly if they expressed doubt.

They also grew up during one of the most intense ideological struggles in political history.

And on top of that they were the first generation exposed to mass media, in an era where there were still relatively few alternative information sources.

Basically they were ill prepared to think critically, and still are.

Sorry. I love my dad but he came out a Putin fan a while back. He also thought he'd won the lottery which he'd never entered.
This is definitely a case where the details matter. The guy who runs Slackware on some no-name laptop is probably going to struggle more than the guy running Ubuntu on the Dell.
> For rapid development of mobile games, Unity is basically the only choice.

Why? Unreal Engine has targeted iOS + Android phones for 5+ years now, successfully. (Fortnite, PUBG, Dungeon Defenders, Horn, etc).

More mobile developers are experienced with Unity over Unreal today, but that's largely inertia more than anything else.
A bit of a rant here - Having worked in education both here in the States and in Korea, this makes a ton of sense.

We all lauded the accomplishments of Asian countries in measures of math, science, and English. We sought to replicate their success.

And we have started. One thing about the US student was that we used to be behind in math and science, but our creativity was our strength.

And we're educating that out of the system, in the pursuit of standardized objectives (standardized objectives that encourage the development of things like remind to constantly keep kids on track, career clusters for focus, and the pressure to decide a career in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade).

I do disagree with the lazy "Buzzfeed is left wing therefore your result are automatically invalid" conclusion of the poster. :)

But I do believe that bias could be a genuine concern here.

Both the Buzzfeed article and the Stanford article (https://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/fakenews.pdf) seems to focus strictly on political fake news.

But Donald Trump fake news is not the only fake news out there.

Given that Donald Trump supporter demographics lean older, I am wondering if an exclusive focus on political fake news (most of which was indeed leaning in the Donald Trump direction) is skewing the results towards the conclusion that people older than 65 share the most fake news.

Would the study look differently if they included sites propagating non-political fake news -- such as celebrity oriented fake news or health woo?

In another case -- Russian disinformation campaigns -- it's well known that they targeted pretty much all sides with divisive Facebook ads on contentious issues or identity politics. Some of the ads certainly are in the "fake news" category (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/business/russia...). The question I would have is whether the same demographics would apply to identity or issues related fake news. I'm not certain here.

It's possible that one can include the above data points and still draw the conclusion; in a tangentially related case, age is one of the factors in other forms of susceptibility to fraud (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3916958/), so it's possible that age is a factor in not recognizing fake news as easily.

But until then, while the article does make a good case that people older than 65 share the most fake pro-Donald Trump news, I'm not sure I can apply that conclusion to other forms of fake news yet.

It's such high stakes at such a young age. It seems like we've a very narrow definition of success, and so kids burn out trying to walk such a narrow path and not feel like a failure.
This is a very good observation and reflects my view as well. Two big problems are that the law is too mechanical in how it applies obviousness, and that obviousness is a fact question that usually can't be resolved by the court in a motion to dismiss.
It's different than the pressure to do well in life. It's the pressure that a child is made aware that if they choose to sleep in instead of volunteer on Saturday, or if they choose to play a pick-up game of baseball instead of join a competitive traveling league, that they are behind.

It's so sad.

Agreed. I would add that the inverter will not likely last 25 years with a high surge motor like a refrigerator attached to it, for most people anyway. I have not seen any step-start fridges.
the APA isn't "arguing that it's ok to discriminate against or insult people because of what different people in the past have done"

it's trying to rectify e.g. the fact that psychological norms were previously based on the psychology of well-functioning white men. until very recently, nobody thought of this as being biased. it's only with the introduction of feminist thought and feminist language into this sphere that these biases were made apparent.
For me, Linux has improved a lot because Windows has gotten a lot worst, but the Linux distributions I've used have not improved that much (mainly Fedora and Ubuntu). I've been using Linux exclusively for many years and will probably continue to do so though...

> Yes but how does the average person really know if those suggested foreign VPNs are not CIA or other government coordinated honeypots?

> there's no reliable method to determine which VPN to trust.

I'll offer a method, people can agree or deny if they like... Why don't we just extend the transparency to the creators, developers and hosts? As in, the people central to the operation of the VPN give up a percentage of their privacy in order to gain public trust.

For example, it's well known that developer Bob eats and drinks at this pub house on Fridays, and welcomes chat from his customers. It's also known that he takes MMA classes twice a week, and likes to attend the local ballgame. We know and trust Bob because he's part of our daily life.

I'm sure an undercover operative can navigate this scenario (and that's true regardless of the subject), but the lives of an entire team of developers would be difficult to fake.

> Inb4 remote work, difficult to arrange

I'm wondering if this is actually a beneficial use of a "social score" type of system. If a person has the social "proof" that they are indeed Bob the software builder instead of Bøb, FBI#1337, then this question of authenticity might not be needed.

Bonus thought: I would imagine the global superpowers are trying to hack China's social scoring system via undercover agents. I'm not sure about the program's details, but surely it has weaknesses.
Webdev since '95, so we likely have moderately similar backgrounds. Let me offer a different take:

> If your stack...so complicated that you simply have no ability to understand ... and how to deploy it easily

You are correct. That said I don't share your reaction at all.

You don't need to understand all of these things to understand how one stack is built, or how to deploy, but you DO need to start understanding these things when it comes to making decisions.

I mean, look at the list. Sure, you don't need to know Bootstrap, BEM, etc to work on a website. But if you're a webdev, soon you should know what Bootstrap is, and a few of the competitors. You should understand what the pros/cons are. If your shop uses BEM, that's all you need to know...but once you're no longer new and are starting to make decisions, you need to understand WHY BEM is the way it is, that it's basically trying to NOT cascade, and thus why random CSS advice you read may or may not apply. (and then begin to decide what BEM is good/not good at, and what the alternatives are).

Continue this for discussion for more than 30 seconds and you enter into territory where any realistic human has a path. I've been full stack, backend, frontend...but I always have a "current" path, because that defines what I'm keeping up with, because I can't keep up with it all. So yeah, you have to choose a path, by definition of human limitations. If you don't choose one consciously, you're still choosing one.

Starting webdev? Understand the very very basics of HTTP, add HTML, and realistically add CSS. Read/Write from DOM with JS. Add some templating framework on the backend or frontend. CSS preprocessors show up quick if you're doing anything of any real size or complexity. Front end quickly hits bundlers and transpilers and minifiers...After a year in the biz the list gets pretty long. 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

The list of topics I can barely mumble about is huge, but that still leaves a big list of items. OAuth? OIDC? Web Services? CORS? SOP? cookies, localstorage? IndexedDB? The field is vast and any individual may only cut one path through each roadmap, how do you know what path is appropriate? Someone might have a path on any number of the roadmaps listed, or just one: They appear to just be a separation between domains, not a declaration that you must have only one (and they're pretty fair IMNSHO - You can definitely focus on just one roadmap fairly naturally).

Where do you feel you must "choose a path"? Why do have such "deep resentment" when I don't see that being said at all? This just shows the topics at different scopes of knowledge, separated by domains that may or may not apply to you, but are natural domain boundaries anyway.
So, does being a Putin fan imply one has 'gone off the deep end'?
Ironically, Asian countries tend to copy the creative Western countries with all their STEM abilities.
Thank you for saying so. We've put a lot of work into just getting to this state, and next for us comes a lot more work on both features and security, like you said.

Our focus right now is on independent users who are looking for convenience, since we can't expect to fully support larger groups who have extremely high standards that we can't yet meet.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't intend to dismiss rightfully high security expectations as "extremely high standards". To put it another way, we have to start somewhere, and we've put plenty of work already into the basics, but our obvious next steps are to step up on security while also supporting users who are already willing to use Shellvault as-is. My above comment should have said that we don't yet have the resources to properly support enterprise-grade security concerns.
