Konqueror did that when I used it in 2007-2010. I don't remember if it was the default behavior, but I had it configured by default.

These days I just block all third-party cookies, which solves most of the problem.

You're right that there's no way to apply any specified unicode normalization to turn `ffi`(normal) into `ﬃ`(ligature).

But they're a good example of the difference between "canonical" and "compatible" normalization anyway, in the other direction. Which is really the only direction that matters to illustrate the difference anyway.

NFKD (or NFKC too I think?) will, as you say, turn the ligatures into their "individual" forms. It's different glyphs, and there is at that point no way to know which it was "originally", and no way to convert it in the other direction. The "compatibility" normalizations are "lossy".

The "canonical" normalizations on the other hand are basically 'lossless' with regard to "glpyhs". Unless you actually _cared_ that it was represneted with a combining diacritic before, which in 99.9% of cases you don't. You should have exactly the same symbols on the screen after a 'canonical' normalization. And for any x, NFC(x) == NFC(NFD(NFC(x)).

The compatibility normalizations are super useful, because as the person up there mentioned, you often want a search query for `ffi` to match on `ﬃ` (and vice versa). But they are intended to lose symbolic representation (ﬃ and ffi are now the same thing with no way to distinguish), where the canonical normalizations are not.

I wouldn't say the `ﬃ` ligature is "obsoleted" in any way. People still use it all the time. We both just included it in our comments, unicode was happy to support that. Unicode is so happy for you to use it, that it provides compatibility normalization to make it _easier_ to recognize that it means the same thing as "ffi". :)
of course it's not expensive to serve pages. but creating content and services that are worth serving can be pretty expensive.

Europe bans it immediately because they have their own airbus.

HiFive1 Rev B: Second-Generation 32-Bit RISC-V SoC and Dev Board
Funny, but we saw a debate around monolithic codebases and the monolithic image in Smalltalk.

A team of three engineers orchestrating 25 microservices sounds insane to me. A team of of thirty turning one monolith into 10 microservices and splitting into 10 teams of three, each responsible for maintaining one service, is the scenario you want for microservices.

A team size of 10 should be able to move fast and do amazing things. This has been the common wisdom for decades. Get larger, then you spend too much time communicating. There's a reason why Conway's Law exists.

This reads like rotten tomatoes changed the rules to appease one political faction. While radical intersectionalists launch mob attacks and review bomb everything from books to movies that they don't deem kosher [1], [2]..., companies continually appease only one faction, i.e. radical intersectionalists. I fully agree with the decision to make reviews fairer, but completely disagree with the timing - RT only did it because decision makers in RT are politically resonant with the movie's politics.

Where was RT's response when intersecionalists demonized and review-bombed the SuperWoman movie, for the lead actress' connection to Israel?

One inexplicable crash is not a case for grounding, no; otherwise the (incredibly safe) 777 would still be grounded because of MH 370.

Regarding the 737 MAX now, the prior Lion Air crash is reasonably well understood. It has exposed some fundamental weakness and questionable design choices, but the plane was still deemed safe to fly.

Thus, what we have is one unexplained crash. Why should it be grounded?

(Having said that, I'm avoiding the MAX as far as I can. But that's based already on the Lion Air crash. So, I argue that it should've been grounded after Lion Air became understood, or not at all.)
Yes, the entire flight control system could just be an Electron app running open source javascript. Or typescript if you're a (type) safety nut.

Restricted shell escapes are a common topic in CTFs and they can be a very interesting test of one's knowledge of shell and Unix details. It's not clear to me whether people who commonly construct these challenges think that a restricted shell can actually be safe or not.

(It's clear that to attempt to have a safe restricted shell, you have to, among other things, whitelist rather than blacklist executable programs, studying each one individually to learn whether it allows arbitrary code execution or not.)
Cookie warnings don't show up for any old cookie usage. HN has no cookie warnings, despite having accounts and logins. Cookie warnings are shown when the "evil bit" or the "color" of the cookie is set; that is, there is no way for the browser to know when a cookie should require a warning and when it shouldn't.
From the article:

Kitfox said that it has “no access to the source code, and will have no influence on the design, programming, or updates to Dwarf Fortress.”

Interesting approach, they're basically making a commercial client for the DF "server". From what I know of Dwarf Fortress mods, even though tile sets and data definitions are data driven, a lot of the functionality is hard-coded, so many mods\viewers work by reverse engineering and reading or modifying memory at run-time. Indeed looking at the Dwarf Therapist code this seems to be the case still (https://github.com/Dwarf-Therapist/Dwarf-Therapist/blob/mast...).

With a commercial release with Steam Workshop support and no source access for the primary developers does that mean DF will get a proper mod system? Steam is likely to bring in a lot of new users that don't necessarily have the patience to deal with "truths" the existing community has been dealing with for 14 years...
Close to 100% of the cookies I see in the wild are not to provide state.

There’s only a handful that need them for logging in.

Most sites I visit I don’t want to interact with, I just want to read.
Thanks! Yeah, I hope some people will think the things it produces are worth purchasing! Although I suspect almost everyone will treat it as a fun web toy (and that's totally alright as well - the goal isn't really to make a ton of money with this)

"Hmm, there are features that one literally can't provide without state (cookies)."

Silent cookies aren't completely banned by the GDPR/cookie laws, only cookies that aren't necessary to provide the service requested by the user. That's sort of vague, but I think mostly obvious what is intended there. It's pretty easy to operate within the spirit and letter of the law: Shopping baskets, load balancer cookies and login tokens are fine (provided you only use them for those purposes!), third party advertising tracking cookies are absolutely not (without consent). More info here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-a...

Lawyers have told me that you do not even need consent for Google Analytics, unless you enable the data collection for advertising features.

It appears to me that there's intentional bad faith misunderstanding from some, regarding both the cookie law and GDPR, in order to try and paint it as unworkable.
Your description is very simplistic, but yes, you have to trust the code that's delivered to you. For example, no Android/iOS user would check every single update to E2EE apps they install for backdoors. However with web, there's an opportunity for a backdoor in every single request and the server can ship different code to different users. In my opinion, using web cryptography is still worth it, but it's definitely more risky than native apps.
The odd part is that they developed a successful blueprint for how to beat their existing Gmail product and are apparently walking away from it. Anecdotal, but I don't know anyone who I introduced Inbox to that does not prefer it to standard Gmail. I wish they would focus their consolidation efforts on their awful messaging mess and leave Inbox alone.
Im pretty sure the problem is that a sensor failure is causing it to believe it is at a higher angle of attack than it actually is, but I'm only skimming.

I don't believe they've kept it anywhere. But if Spotify sells through the App Store they'll lose all their profits to Apple's commission, to sell at the same price, or they'll have to charge appreciably more (at non-competitively high prices) for their app store customers (or raise prices everywhere and subsidize their customers acquired through the app store.)

DPA can track you for at least 31 days before their log files rotate and get aggregated. It is not via a tracking cookie, but unique enough in my opinion to track you, and that happens without consent.

For a privacy advocating party it would suit them to not log anything and be very clear about that.

Agreed. And there's no reason why your monolith need become 10 microservices. It could be split into say just 3 if that makes more sense.
I would buy a copy just to support development and the past fun I’ve had. But I’m likely in the minority.
When you're in a privileged position its easy to say we must wait for the perfect solution. When you aren't it's easy to rush to a solution.

I've been in both positions. I suspect what we'll wind up with will be a two tier system (kind of what we have now) that covers almost everyone, but this system won't make anyone happy and the debate will continue.
Comparing Microsoft to Apple in the 2010's is a bad analogy. Microsoft tried to bundle a web browser by default. Apple outright bans competitor apps and takes a cut of almost every transaction that happens on the device.

> The only option for users is to leave their ecosystem and lose access to all of their purchases.

The user signed up for that, so IMHO he gets what he deserves. The only I think I would change is to disallow the use of the word "purchase" when the user only buys the right to access some DRM-ed content.

Exact same experience.

12 years in industry across stacks b2b dev experience here. The word "accessibility" or
"disability" never even uttered out loud by developers, stakeholders or otherwise during every single project.

Maybe in like 50 more years it will be more common?

It's not just deadlines that gets a11y chopped off. It's not even remotely considered to begin with, unless a client demanded it specifically. Which never happened. Closest thing I've seen is internationalisation demands.

I've read sentiments and articles indicating that if you DO include good a11y support - these users love you. It garners massive loyalty, as one could imagine.

If you're a grunt serving in the lines? Good luck filling out a comment card after your desk-eaten 23 minute brown bag lunch and maybe the CEO won't fire you for the insubordination of suggesting work off of the most minimal track to $$$.

I think the poster meant change in a concrete sense.

As in, I’d like to change the world by having a hole dug right over there.

There are various levels of work that can happen around the change.

The lowest level is physical, actually digging the hole. This is usually the lowest paid.

Then there’s the knowledge/expertise level. This is a step up but still pretty lowly. What shape should the hole be? How can we dig it most efficiently and what amount of dirt must be trucked away.

The next layer of work is usually more highly compensated again, feelings, or the sales of holes. How do all the stakeholders feel about the hole? Will this hole help bring someone fulfilment? Do we need more PR to tamp down anti-hole protests? Could an op-ed help sway the council?

The apex layer is usually politics or capital. This is where all the real money is made. Who owns the hole? How are we going to finance the hole? How is it going to increase the value of an investment, and what are the chances I can sell this hole to someone else for more money?

The higher the “level” the work, the more potential for true waste there usually is.

So ok there was one person digging and two people who kinda looked like they were leaning on shovels the whole time. Sure, that’s waste of a sort but to really screw up you need to aim higher.

“Turns out, we spent all that money on the hole project, but gosh darn it, hole investment has cratered and nobody actually needed a hole there and we can’t sell it.”
I bought a Samsung Chromebook 3 a couple of days ago and was able to get it to dual-boot Chrome OS and Linux with a little bit of effort. Overall, I'm reasonably satisfied with it, given that I put less than $200 into it.
My Pixel 1 died for no reason 4 months after the warranty ended. Google Support basically said: "lol sucks". Repairing means dealing with a shitty third party service, and even the most trivial repair costs more than the device is worth.

For me the high price was totally not worth it. I have a Pixel 3 which I bought 4 months after release for 30% less than the release price.
I was considering an iPhone, but the cheapest one they sell in Germany is 850€, which is a bad joke.

Very specifically, the open core of Elastic's offering doesn't do authentication. It's not that there's a limited number of users. It's not that it's a single user and password in a config file somewhere. It's that you go from having all the features of a licensed version including multiple users with configurable access to different data sets down to needing to run elk with no native authentication and authorization and then wrap authentication around it one way or another if you want the community edition. This is 2019. A data aggregation and inspection system that by default sits open on a port for anyone to use is not quite fit for purpose.

The reason we're leaving it at 'Latest' for now is because that's where the 'Welcome' post is pinned, which is important for people to get a sense of what it's all about and what does it stand for (i.e. mission).
Because its done under legal compulsion rather than web standards good faith. Cookies predated the more democratic process by which the web evolves today, and it was outside the EUs power to just ask the likes of the dying Netscape / Microsoft / etc to all standardize on this feature at the spec level, especially when nobody was really much following web standards at all in the early 2000s.

All those settings in browsers that let you control access to your camera, location, etc aren't part of legal compliance, they are just there because Google, Mozilla, sometimes Apple and Microsoft all agreed this is a good best behavior to avoid getting regulated on again.

If the EU started mandating an opt-in system for camera access you can bet most websites would start dumping pop up banners about it regardless of if all the browsers supported the regulation already just to avoid culpability.
I'm not following. OP asked for a linux based software engineering laptop.

The ones available are not hitting the mark.

Why?
It's almost certainly a driver issue. Drivers that are provided by Dell. I'm not at all blaming the hardware for the issues. I'm blaming Dell.

To answer your question, I don't switch OS because the machine belongs to my employer and they set the rules. They say everyone runs Windows so I run Windows. It's actually a very usable OS.

You also seem to have missed the part where I spent 4 hours on the phone with Dell support already. Why would you expect that will be more successful with a different OS?
Standardize it. Policy makers should provide a standard message, or small set of messages websites can reuse and consumers recognize with links to an EU-run informational website easy to understand for consumers. I don't understand why it wasn't implemented this way, maybe to allow for more freedom of implementation, but we have seen that has hurt the policy effort. Just standardize it.

Incidentally, with all of the Organic / GMO-Free / et all certifiers out there, would a privacy badge be the way to go, or is that backwards thinking in the way of early internet site badges?

the current trend seem to be pointing towards a future where all the backends are replaced with hosted API services (AWS Lambda, Google Functions, Netlify CMS, and other emerging headless CMSs).

think that is all we really need. some kind of API-first platform that lets you run any server-side code coupled with a nice abstracted database layer, and an admin interface to go along with.

no one has it right yet though. but i think we'll be there soon.

Are you basing that on anything or just BS'ing?
> Sounds like the dissuasion is working.

It clearly isn't. Vast majority of people (me too) are trained to automatically accept whatever cookie BS the website asks for, just to get rid of the popup as quickly as possible and get to content. And no, these "spyware" sites such as reddit.com or bloomberg.com won't switch to non-tracking ads to get rid of the popup.
What evidence is there it is working? That evidence only shows that people have change their web experience to be more annoying out of fear of the EU. It does not show there is less tracking or more public support for privacy.

Most people hate the UX change but don’t care about the privacy so probably a net loss for the EU.
