If it's known that he has a cell phone, and it's against the rules to have one in prison, I'm left wondering how hard it could possibly be for the prison authorities to take it away from him. Or is there simply no effort to enforce the rules?
My favorite hand brew method is "4:6 method" Invented by Tetsu Kasuya_ World Brewers Cup 2016 Champion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmCW8xSWGZY). He uses 20g of beans to 300ml of water and with this method, one can adjust the sweetness and strengtt. Previously, I always got random results, sometimes getting great coffee, while at other times, getting too much acidity or bitterness.
> not to release the documents

I'm quite certain the crime here would be releasing these documents and doxxing innocent people who are doing their normal, okay, not-illegal jobs.
That ship has already sailed.

Google redesigned all their desktop UIs to work with touchscreens in 2012, at the expense of mouse-and-keyboard users. Microsoft's Ribbon UI for Office, and Fluent UI for Windows 10 were both designed for touch first. Hell, even Ubuntu's Unity made huge compromises on Desktop in the name of convergence, even though no significant fraction of users ended up running Ubuntu on phones.

The original designer vision was for UI to adjust depending on the form factor of the user's device. What we got instead is "upscaled phone UIs everywhere", because programmers like to be DRY and reuse code. This is literally the tree swing cartoon.
You are not wrong. But people making / selling art are not doing it for that purpose. People buying it? Not all but probably many.
Any sources on the bounty statement?
The Reputation requirement exists simply because there's CAs in the Windows certificate store that aren't super trustworthy, and frankly that malware could seek to get a code signing certificate.

Arguably the Reputation requirement is more helpful than the information held in the certificate, since Reputation is hard to fake whereas that information is provided by the requestor and its validation depends on the CA's processes (which as I said varies wildly).

It is one of those "greater good" things. It does suck for FOSS however.
It's possible I'm missing something, but everything in this blog post seems extremely narrowly applicable.

The author points out that you should just handle redirects in the platform if you can. For hreflang tags, is there a reason besides using a legacy system that you need to inject hreflang tags outside your app/platform?

This is approaching the problem backwards. You don't want to spread people further out with token green spaces in between miles of concrete. If for no other reason than those areas are way less effective at being "green space" that green space well separated from human civilization. The kinds of trees you can plant along boulevards or in inner-city parks or along highways are quite limited to a subset that can subsist on poor nutrient quality from the soil and much reduced sunlight availability from the pollution they are meant to "keep at bay".

Its the same reason "urban farming" is ridiculous. You end up spending way more in technology to make urban settings livable for plant life than you get back in value from having the plants in the first place.

If you want environmental boons like you describe, you want to dramatically expand nature preserves and increase the density of human settlement so we consume less of the livable footprint of the Earth with our societies and pollute the world less all the same.

This isn't a problem to hide behind a row of malnourished trees.

To those might be thinking that demand probably isn't unlimited, it's true. But art is a business where demand doesn't quite work as one would normally understand it.

(Anecdotal.) I once was sitting next to a professional art dealer on a Eurostar. He gave me a hilarious primer on how his business worked as we made our way to Paris. In short, art demand is to a very large extent driven only by what's on display at the art dealers' places during their exclusive parties. A good way to think about this is that art dealers are opinion leaders and create new art trends as they see fit à la Devil Wears Prada.
Dropbox/ contains stuff that I’ll need when I’m away from home.

Yes, but before that actual technology, there wasn't a problem because we weren't pumping so much carbon into the atmosphere. And even with technology, there's too many political problems to actually use that technology to solve the problem before it's too late, which climate scientists are telling us it already is.

Our globe-spanning communications seems like it should help us solve these problems together, but instead look what it's brought us: anti-vaxers convincing a lot of people not to vaccinate, which has now brought back diseases we thought were almost extinct. Instead of using these communications to convince people about real problems and solve them, these communications have instead enabled the stupidest people to have a much larger voice and influence, which has led us to disaster politically in the US for one (just look at who we elected in 2016).

Sorry, but I don't see how there's any way out of this mess. We can't just figure things out in 50 years and then start fixing the problem; by then it'll be far too late.

Funny thing about trust: I trust a developer who drops some $$$ on a code-signing certificate more than I trust a developer who doesn't. Even if it's just $20.

Also, the validation requirements to obtain a code-signing certificate, while certainly not bulletproof, are not nothing: you need to send in articles of incorporation and your business needs a listing with a physical address and phone number in a public directory (e.g., bbb.org), and someone representing your business needs to pick up that phone when the cert validator calls it.

Your business name and physical address are injected into the certificate. Basically code-signing certificates make it easier for people to find you and sue you if they truly want to. I suspect that's the whole point.

The problem here is that the Notepad++ developer wants his certificate to say CN=Notepad++, but he won't be able to obtain that until he has some kind of business or organization registered in his jurisdiction with that name. Whereas CN=FIRSTNAME LASTNAME he could probably obtain immediately (just send in his driver's license during validation).

> not unreasonable to ask for information

It is unreasonable to state that being asked for information is the exact same thing as being accused of a crime and found guilty. OP comment stated unequivocally that these journalists are criminals.

That's just False as far as we can tell. Being asked for information has nothing to do with actually being a criminal, but you are conflating the two.

What is your plan to beat WordPress or get people to switch to your CMS away from WordPress ? There are plenty of other CMS providers out there who are doing a decent job but no one is able to take out the giant that is WordPress due to its market share and the community of support and plugin eco-system.

Also, terms such as "headless CMS" does not mean much to a regular user who is looking for a "site in WordPress". So is your intended audience primarily developers and freelancers/agencies ?
Back in the day, you used to evaluate trust by making smarter decisions about how you went about installing things.

You downloaded it to an isolated environment and ran it and proved it didn't cause unexpected side effects. It was run behind a firewall that could log internet communication. If it proved to be good, you ran it in your main environment. If it proved to be bad you warned everyone who would listen to you.

I feel like the more "social" the web appears to be becoming, the less social it actually is. We had tight little BBS and IRC communities where this stuff was all discussed. Social meant we actually had meaningful conversations... okay, not always meaningful, but it was often about the pursuit of something useful.

It's nigh on impossible with the proliferation of the internet to take this approach these days. Things just didn't scale that well. This is why things like DD-WRT and other hacker sites while being more accessible are still very much a niche market.

It's funny how much more technical you had to be back then just to get online. It's as if we're driving the automatic version of the internet now. Back then we had cobble all the pieces together and even when you had, it was like driving with a manual gearshift.

Lenin, Stalin and Mao all dies of natural causes as heroic leaders at the height of their powers. Arguably even Hitler died at a point where he was badly affected by Parkinson's Disease and it's unlikely he could have survived much longer anyway. They were each responsible for death and misery on previously unimaginable scales. It's hard to conceive of the suffering they caused even now. Only in the case of Hitler can we say any of them suffered for it at all, and even then only marginally when you look at the big picture. More recently, the leaders of North Korea have also died as worshiped heroes.

Because private industry would not build schools for those students in depressed and poor neighborhoods, even at the guarantee of the general fund of the school that was there, because most schools in the US are operating at a substantial loss to their direct income from school / property tax.

Its part of why "bake sales" to fund schools are so common in many depressed and poor areas. Its also why schools are so strongly incentivized to seek funding for sports, sports programs, and sports arenas. If you can build a fancy stadium on a state grant it can bring in supplementary income to keep the power on for general ed.

Private enterprise would only be interested in building schools for poor kids only offering public dollars if there were profit to be made from said dollars, which is innately more inefficient than a public school that simply operates at, or better, under cost - especially when that general income is coming from direct local residents.
I'm not sure if the builder pattern is better than designated initialization... AFAIK in Rust you can get something similar (fill up missing members with their default values) with ..Default::default(), like:

..Default::default()

We occasionally had a barn owl hanging out in our barn when I was a lad.

I remember it being very ghostly at night when it was active, because its underside was very white and it would glide soundlessly from one end to the other.

Sort of the opposite were the barn swallows, which were numerous, social, very twittery to the point you would think they were talking, and amazingly agile. I miss all the birds.
Can't these things be done with eCryptfs or EncFS?

> you can have different keys for all your "partitions" without having to pre-allocate them

I imagine its possible to create multiple encrypted directory hierarchies with different keys as they are needed.

> you can send encrypted incremental snapshots to a host that doesn't have the key (for backups for instance)

You can just rsync the encrypted directory hierarchy.

> it's using authenticated encryption (as opposed to LUKS with XTS)

From my quick search, do I understand that "authenticated encryption" is basically hashing or signing the ciphertext or plaintext to make sure that it wasn't altered?

I think you'll find a lot of coherent arguments for privacy's value in this thread.

It goes along the lines of: Privacy is valuable because without privacy A, B, and C will be possible. And, we can all agree A, B, and C would be very very bad.

There are two ways to attack this argument:
1) A, B, and C aren't that bad when compared to the benefits of operating in an environment with less privacy.
2) A, B, and C are possible but unlikely. I.e. this is fearmongering.

I tend to go with 2.
What I Enjoyed – and Suffered From – Writing ReasonML Code as a Junior Engineer
I have no intention of defending Hardin as I'm not informed of his personal beliefs, but this article screams of ad hominem. He might have been a terrible person but it conflates his personal failings with the idea of the tragedy of the commons as if to discredit the idea. And while maybe the British commons for land might have had more nuance than his original article let on, it doesn't mean there aren't other key examples showing the idea has validity.

For example, fisheries are a great example. In the absence of well defined property rights to catch limited numbers of fish (and effective enforcement mechanisms), we see rampant overfishing in the world. In places with effective cap and trade schemes for fisheries, we actually see healthy, robust ecosystems. Alaska is the best example but there are many other shining examples compared to the unregulated and unenforced commons of the open ocean where Chinese fishing vessels are systematically destroying the commons.

Let's not conflate the idea with the man, and instead let the idea stand/fall on its own merits.. It's a logical fallacy otherwise.

~/Documents/ is backed up to iCloud so I can access them anywhere. (Tip: Any directory you don't want to be backed up can be suffixed with ".nosync" e.g. SecretStuff.noSync).

This all started after getting into Go, which mandates a central directory under which all Go code is stored. [1] nesting scope also helps namespace resources.
