It's odd that the article didn't just reproduce the (short) poem. Was he worried about being sued for copyright on an 1865 work? And why not at least link directly to the poem rather than giving an affiliate Amazon link?

In any case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_Old,_Father_William

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

"You are old," said the youth, "As I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door—
Pray, what is the reason of that?"

"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
"I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment—one shilling a box—
Allow me to sell you a couple?"

"You are old," said the youth, "And your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"

"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."

"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—
What made you so awfully clever?"

"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"

But it doesn't apply when it comes to unpopular(frankly speaking I am a Chinese and several years ago I tried my best to find a partner for English but failed) languages like Chinese.
The US is putting minorities into private prisons at far greater rates for nonviolent crimes. The rate of imprisonment is entirely correlated to race.

Yes whataboutism, but please think of an actual justification before you respond rather than the usual low effort handwaving it away with a single word.

Large powerful countries are carte blanche allowed to get away with horrendous injustices. I'd be eager to hear solutions.

> half of all persons incarcerated under state jurisdiction are for non-violent offenses, and 20% are incarcerated for drug offenses (in state prisons; federal prison percentages are higher).
There was a talk about "Scaling Git at GitHub" [1] a few years ago at Git Merge. While it may no longer be accurate, it still gives some insight into how GitHub is run.

It's okay to change certain settings if they don't touch privacy, for eg testing WebRender on some subset of users. But it shouldn't touch Privacy related settings. They should separate the settings into Privacy Sensitive and non Privacy sensitive and be only able to remotely change the latter ones

I too use Debian's Firefox ESR. I noticed the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" option in Privacy & Security Preferences a long time ago. It was unchecked and greyed out (i.e., unclickable), and a label below it says "Data reporting is disabled for this build configuration", so I gave it no further thought. This morning I woke up and launched Firefox, noticed this headline, and then noticed my extensions were still running. I looked in about:config and lo and behold, app.normandy.enabled=default [true]. I'll be filing a bug with debian to disable this in the build configuration.

Edit: There are some questions about whether Normandy is really enabled in Debian Firefox ESR even if the about:config setting defaults to true. I've filed a bug report, and I'm sure once a Debian maintainer has a chance to look at it we'll find out the answer.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=928433

Edit2: It should go without saying, but please do not spam this bug report with "me too" and its ilk.
Microsoft is currently the most valuable company in the world.
Admin people. Often the most senior ones get the title "Personal Assistant (to senior person job title)" but not always. They're lead bureaucrats, and tracking things that need to be done and ensuring they get done, either by doing them themselves or assigning them to reliable underlings is the purpose of their role.

Corporations are often not very good at putting the right people in these roles but good ones are invaluable. Since the Marvel Universe is everywhere, Pepper Potts is the archetype in that setting to give you an idea of why you'd need people like this. Tony Stark would be "too busy" to renew the certificates, but Pepper would make sure it gets done.

> keeping a tester in the dark about specific implementation details of the system they are testing is a perfectly normal and good way to preserve the integrity of the testing

Except in this case a failed test does not just result in a failed test, but instead also results in the death of the tester.
What is a “remote update”? All updates are remote until you download them.
Elixir is built atop a VM older than the JVM.
And who uses Dart? Elixir? Julia? Hardly anyone. Lots of attempts but also lots of failures, sometimes due to poor runtimes or libraries.

Swift is iOS/Apple specific, at least in usage. But mobile is dominated by Android, which is moving towards Kotlin. So Kotlin is already huge right there, much larger than Dart or Elixir and probably larger than Swift, soon if not already.

Meanwhile Go would probably benefit from targeting the JVM, or at least having the option. As is, it's stuck in its own isolated world with low quality tools, libraries and GCs.

At any rate number of languages is an odd metric. Kotlin by itself is a good enough language to probably kill off most attempts to compete with it over the next 5-10 years or so on the JVM, outside of research languages. Does the JVM really need dozens of languages?
> Wouldn't that that imply every secret accidentally committed and then 'deleted' is still accessible

This should be a moot point because anyone (in IT) should realize that an accidentally committed secret is now 100% public for all eternity and needs to be rendered irrelevant to restore secure operations.
My simple(r), free, no ads, alternative: Idea Growr
https://ideagrowr.com

Focus is mostly on the first stage of capturing all your ideas, and growing them using question sets. I've partnered with my employer to turn IdeaGrowr into a more rounded app, with accounts, etc.

If you're interested, I'm writing about the progress over here:
https://medium.com/idea-growr

I'll have to look into Muse more, but it seems very tablet focused. It seems more focused on the stage where you have the idea and are working out the details, research, etc. Can you use it to quickly jot down an idea in the middle of the night?

I like the 'draw on pictures' part. I use the Concepts app for iPad for that.
Firefox stopped respecting the signature-required setting in the mainline version in 2016. I know because I got burned by it and made a Hitler parody.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=taGARf8K5J8

And frankly, this an extra absurdity on top of that. If you’re going to require signatures for all extensions, regardless of user preference, shouldn’t you be keeping an eye on the signing process?
Yeah, sure. And Guaido is the president of Venezuela
I got rid of my laptop, they are an ergonomic disaster. I realize this is not a realistic option for everyone. Using an external screen and a split keyboard, like a Kinesis Freestyle, makes an incredible difference. I also recommend a thumb trackball like a Logitech or an Elecom.

Lastly try a relatively firm chair that allows different positions, like a Håg Capisco. And a firm bed with a soft but thin topper.

The latter option might be the key. If you have a bed that is too soft, you will sink in and your spine will be twisted.

In general, look for firm supportive options that allow different positions. For example a split keyboard allows many natural angles, putting your trackball between both panels, etc.
And sharp 15:15 local time my add-ons got disabled and now I have a yellow sign saying "One or more installed add-ons cannot be verified and have been disabled".

Wow, I didn’t realize two wrongs make a right. You’ve convinced me.
LLVM would have been created even if free/open source, SubstrateVM style tech existed back then because LLVM was designed as a competitor to GCC for compiling C and C++. The JVM can run C/C++ code these days 'natively' (by JIT compiling LLVM bitcode using Sulong) but that's not what it was created to do.

Also bear in mind LLVM is not really a JVM competitor despite the name. LLVM is a toolkit for building compilers, primarily, C/C++ compilers. Other languages that targeted it have had to do a lot of work to change LLVM for that language. It's not actually a "VM" in the JVM or V8 sense, for instance, it doesn't provide a garbage collector and LLVM bitcode is neither platform neutral nor a stable format.
Thank you.

I happen to be one of the users with Normandy disabled, so I'm foobar'd anyway. That said, the reason I disabled it is because it is a security hole you could drive a semi-truck through. And now they want us to enable it to provide a "fix" for the secure way in?

I thought I was the only one who saw a problem with that. Your post is evidence that I'm not completely off in my thinking.
You can permanently delete data from github, but doing requires a bit of work and a message to customer service: https://help.github.com/en/articles/removing-sensitive-data-...
Yes of course we all need a bit of cultural literacy. Honestly humans want to celebrate the lucky among us and being a famous actor or actress is a huge accomplishment. Those people put in a great deal of time and effort to their craft and they managed to succeed where thousands others just like them didn't.

But the same can be said of SV rock stars, Fortune 500 CxOs, etc. Even if I recognized Donald Knuth or Sundar Pichai on the street I wouldn't approach and say "I love your work, may I have a photo?". I draw the line at assuming I have a personal relationship with anyone just because I happen to know of them or about them. And frankly since we're not friends I'm not invested in learning anything personal about those people.

That's where I think society is broken: making the lives of famous people a miserable hell because they can't have a shred of privacy, and mining every detail of their lives to sell banner ads / click bait click-throughs, TV shows, etc is just a bit too far for me.

> There is some great work here but also you see things like the web clipper, it's already accepting that research web browsing is best done on a computer so then because of the tablet silo they need to create custom tech and run servers just to get the content from two devices next to each other.

Clipping is needed at the point of discovery, which today may include social media, which is often consumed on mobile.

DevonThink has a mature clipper and search engine on macOS and iOS. It enables fast archiving of links, HTML, PDFs and audio files on phones, tablets and desktops, with multi-device sync via WebDAV, iCloud and other backends. It works very well, especially as Google's search index continues to shrink.
> Where are the lists of “Hot New Writers Over 70”?

Because most people who want to write will have done so before 70, and a large chunk of them just want to watch TV (or rather, have nothing better to do in their minds, which is sad).

> Why do so few of the expensive, risible fashion ads in the New York Times Magazine and its equivalent at the Wall Street Journal feature oldsters?

I don’t think this is true for many luxury items? Watches, alcohol, cars, and boner pills all associate with ads of refined older men in my mind. Especially in print media.

I'll claim something seemingly controversial now:

No noteworthy 'Internet' currently exists, and what this article talks about comes about as a consequence of exactly that.

I really wish the RINA and GNUnet projects would start working together instead of just... Each doing their own thing entirely, and not even acknowledging each other. Otherwise, we'll just face the very same "two separate working groups leading to a total clusterfuck which most people don't even notice as existing" problem outlined above by John Day.
What is UA?

Browser updates can also change default preferences, and change a lot of other things too. How is this a backdoor any more than auto-updating of the browser is a backdoor? The one issue I can think of is that if you turn off browser auto-updates, this should probably be turned off too.
Dumb question... Wouldn't it be possible to fork the namespace to something like javax -> jawax (or java->borneo as someone suggested) and then patch the JVM to alias the javax package to the would-be jawax package (or borneox or whatever) ?
Bankruptcy comes in different flavors, and rather than a Chapter 7 liquidation, it's a "pre-packaged" Chapter 11 reorganization, according to Wikipedia's introduction "Remington exited bankruptcy in May 2018, less than two months after filing for protection under Ch. 11 laws. Remington's quick exit from bankruptcy was due to a pre-approved restructuring plan that was supported by 97% of its creditors."

All part of the game that got them into this mess in the first place.

The Pimsleur method, which relies on a progressly timed learning technique really helps commit language to long term memory. It's audio only, but I really recommend then. I believe Ankh is based on this as well.
> Yeah check your privilege. Reading this makes me feel nauseous.

Why? What are you really trying to say? I've not read the posts beyond what's linked in the articles, but it sounds like she was writing about her experiences rather than selling advice. I'm not sure why her privilege matters in that case.
According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19824520 the signatures are on the extensions themselves, not on a remote server.

The Wisdom of Gandalf for the Information Age
How are they squeezing dollars here? They don't seem to be demanding payment, or at least not directly.

I read the board notes. This appears to be a disagreement about trademarks and compatibility licensing. To be called "Java" you need to be compatible with the Java specs, and also have a trademark license. That's how they enforce that the platform can be reimplemented but it's seamless to users. Seems Eclipse Foundation doesn't like that.
Correcting Our View of Montesquieu
From my experience most language learning products get boring once you advance. Happened to me with Pimsleur and also Duolingo. At some point you are ready for real conversation with people and the constant repetition that is necessary for the basics gets tedious.
I work at a power plant that uses Wonderware - a SCADA system that stores its time-series data in its own proprietary database that is accessed as a linked server via SQL Server. That means any query I want to fetch can't be optimized by the SQL Engine and makes any kind of analysis very expensive.

From my understanding, something like an integrated extension to the server (not a linked/foreign server) would be great because the query optimizer would be able to plan its queries based on that information.

Has anyone been in a situation like this and taken steps to mitigate the inefficiencies of a system like this?
Druid.io didn't make the list, but it's worked really well for me in the past. A bit of a chore to get running though. Great for real time aggregation and and is fast even with custom JavaScript filter functions. Also supports limited SQL, mostly not able to do joins.

Why does Mozilla do this? Same with removing the option to not update. Why not let users choose (in the case of update maybe with an about config setting)?
Yes, that's true. But level 1 doesn't force you to write in the target language - the real value is in the last level.
You can go through the level 1 of all lessons relatively quickly, but you won't be actually learning.
Pimsleur really hammers the language into you until it becomes instinctive.

I've got a home HifiBerry streaming setup over Ethernet. I am using TCP streaming and the latencies are low enough not to be noticeable at all while watching YouTube or playing games and streaming the audio output to my speaker setup on the RPi.

1) Would this make any difference?

2) Does it currently support online plug-unplug the way RTP works without restarting pulseaudio?
Because Mozilla is easier to lock down than Chrome.

I guess "easier" isn't the word really, because Chrome can't really ever be locked down. It's pretty much always, effectively, an open book to Google.

You can lock down everything in Firefox. The drawback being, of course, times like this, when you can't get the fix unless you leave Normandy enabled. (Which I didn't.)

Grrrr.
Heard of no-script? Heard of application sandboxing? Do you actually understand WHY we run web via HTML, JS and CSS and not as actual compiled applications randomly downloaded from internet?

Why? Both systems are threats, one internal (from a US perspective), one external. Opposing one does not imply supporting the other, and US sins do not mean China presents less of a threat.

To be honest, I don't have much experience with the other cloud services, except Heroku which I wouldnt put in the same category.

I have a DO box for myself and their docs/admin panels are better imo.

But my comment about aws is not really a comparison, just more a comment about my experience as a non-devops engineer, and how I hate having to read their docs.
If you trust your automation, you put private key rotation into it.

If you don't trust it your automation, you rotate the keys manually, as you would normally.

There are no valid reasons to throw the baby away with the bathwater.
it's one step closer and more direct control, which is why this is now being used to deliver the quick fix.

The downside is that the process of updating the software becomes a bit fragmented, which is probably confusing users now.
