You don't have to be remote to feel isolated either.

I'm the only Dev at my company which is itself pretty isolating fortunately I'm both an introvert by nature and I have my IRC water cooler.

I work with lovely people but our work doesn't really overlap except when discussing UI/UX stuff.
That's why I said just. The "knowing the language" part can be leveraged in other ways for great benefit, both spiritual and financial.
At a higher level, the hard part is for companies to realise data is a liability - one they have been ignoring for too long while reaping the benefits and letting users suffer breach after breach.
That's the point: because it doesn't matter it provides two representations for the same semantic thing.
In contrary, I've found my skin is much more moisturized when using specific, "superfatted" bar soaps. They're common in farmer's markets and the like and produced by manty artisians.

This marks the last Android release with extensions/add-on support. There will not be a 69 release of this edition of Firefox for Android ("Fennec").

The new remake of the mobile browser ("Fenix") does not have extensions support and it is on an indefinite and easily ignorable backlog. It is explicitly not being worked on this quarter. At the end of this quarter is the scheduled release of Firefox 69. Unless there's no release at all of Firefox 69 upon the Android platform, that's the time when Mozilla I think will deceptively try to drop support for extensions/addons on android.

Bug to have Add-ons pages declare Fenix extensions as unsupported.
"version <= 68.0.98 is legacy Fennec
version >= 68.0.99 is Fenix (or some other GeckoView-powered browser)"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548428

"Or do nothing because Fennec 68 and Fenix 68 will overlap for only 6–8 weeks with a preview audience."

Firefox 69 releases 2019-09-03 at the end of Quarter 3.

> it would actually make the poor poorer since it would devalue any of their current golden possessions to near zero.

It would make people whose wealth is disproportionately stored in gold poorer. Same as if a company hands out a bunch of shares ex nihilo -- the existing shareholders are screwed. The people who had no shares and now have some shares are richer, despite the shares being devalued.

If the poor are heavily invested in gold, then plonking a bunch of gold into the economy will make them poorer, but I don't think they are.

Another, somewhat depressing, way of looking at it is that we all could have learned half a dozen languages in the time we spend browsing and posting to no real end on forums and various other media such as this. And e.g. learning Russian would make you feel good at the end of it. Whereas when you look back at the years of social media (which, again I would include sites such as this) it all seems like quite a tremendous waste of time. Yeah, we're totally changing the world by expressing and sharing our views, values, and opinions. /s

Sure, viruses and bacteria can spread by bar soap. For instance norovirus is a tough husk mostly immune to alcohol, as are many bacterias which have thick cell walls. But the point of soap is to dissolve the oils, dead cells, and particles on your body that the viruses and bacteria have attached, and to wash them away down the drain.

Agreed. This is a case of an untrustworthy "authority." It is in G2A's extreme best interest to pretend there's not a problem, I wouldn't trust any numbers that they put out as if they are authoritative.

I should also note that I would trust numbers that indie developers are putting out. If things were working the way G2A claims, indie developers would be getting paid in the initial transaction and they wouldn't have a problem with key resellers to begin with. No incentive for them to lie in this situation.

(not that anyone is implying that they shouldn't trust indie devs: but in case anyone is wondering where a more credible source for information is, I feel like that's a good place to look given the lack of incentive for them to be lying about this)

I don't think we ever reach the question about which element is more important. Elsewhere in the rules situations permitting encryption are spelled out (telemetry, RC). None of those exceptions apply to server passwords. Under common rules of construction it's safe to conclude that DH key exchange - of a shared secret, if we're being fair - is prohibited. One that can be worked around but not cleanly. There may not be a clean fix that doesn't involve something distasteful like a key escrow or unachievable like a rules change.

Thank you for a challenging exchange. Those interested can inspect the full reg at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.113 . The permitted exceptions aren't hard to search for from there.

> Your original comment wasn't very clear and I misinterpreted it, sorry.

Yeah, there's some tension between risk of being seen as condescending and making sure everything is sufficiently clear. In a low-stakes context like this (and outside of clarifications or responses to ELI5 requests) I try not to fill in all the gaps - when it goes well it leaves us all feeling a little smarter and when it goes wrong it occasionally leads somewhere interesting. The increased risk of misinterpretation was made even worse here by the priming of several other people making the point I wasn't.
The developer's gripes are with Steam as a slow-moving juggernaut that they have to rely on. One particularly cruel detail - these are the studio's working with a more traditional "buy it and you own it" model instead of F2P, DLC, Loot Box-y money-driven insanity. Games that are adopting modern industry trends are more self-reliant and profitable.

I don't know what the next decade of PC Gaming is going to look like, but I feel like things are going to change dramatically. Steam is losing its power as the market leader, but we also can't have 10+ applications serving as walled-garden marketplaces. Cloud Gaming like Stadia may be the best solution, but it's also the always-connected, DRM-dystopia consumers have been dreading since the 90s...

This kind of drop accent happens in all sorts of languages for what it's worth including Dutch (drop the 'N' at the end of things like Leiden and verb conjugation) as well as Spanish (Puerto Rican dialects) so

But for New England, I'd say it's mostly the lahng Ah that gets ya. (that's the long R). It's more common to drop whenever a word contains an "AR" sound. The classic example being: "Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd"

It's possible to make a 'b' with no vowel. Start with the sound and never open your mouth. It's like an 'm' without letting any air out your nose. Hold it and your cheeks will swell, there's no place to release the air. You can do a tiny release and have no voice at that point.

But I still agree with you overall that the correct approach is to teach it by demonstrating what's common across all its uses.

Interestingly, for my Dad's business (employs between 100 and 300 people) the cost of worker's comp insurance is the main driver of safety. Accidents/injuries drive up your workers comp costs.

His company employs one full time person whose job is to improve safety. The guy runs safety competitions (days without a serious accident) with prizes, does reviews, researches equipment and practices, etc.

He will also tell you that the biggest safety improvement they ever made was drug testing. He resisted it for a long time because he feared it would be difficult to hire people, but after they did it he became a big advocate of it.
> Second, when Zoom is installed on a Mac device by the user, a limited-functionality web server that can only respond to requests from the local machine is also installed on the device. This is a workaround to a change introduced in Safari 12 that requires a user to confirm that they want to start the Zoom client prior to joining every meeting. The local web server enables users to avoid this extra click before joining every meeting. We feel that this is a legitimate solution to a poor user experience problem, enabling our users to have faster, one-click-to-join meetings. We are not alone among video conferencing providers in implementing this solution.

A workaround to legitimate Safari security improvements.

I hope the Wall Street Journal and CNBC skewer this company and shred the stock price.
Stopping short of misrepresenting what they're doing. Stopping short of arbitrary enforcement. (Which means keeping employees from (apparently) arbitrarily using company mechanisms to further their own ideological ends.) Stopping short of meddling in payments handled by another company. (Which looks a bit too much like tortious interference.)

If the companies were merely driven by profit motive and getting ad dollars, it would be fine. It's the manipulation of the public discourse which people object to and feels slimy.

That's not very much. There are close to a billion air travelers per year in the U.S. alone. If they discovered 22,000 dangerous items, that either means that only 0.0022% of passengers are carrying a dangerous item, or they're letting a large number of dangerous items through. It's perfectly consistent for them to have a 95% failure rate and still have < 0.05% of travelers actually carry a dangerous weapon.

A more likely reason why we we haven't had any air incidents since 9/11 is that most people have little interest in blowing themselves up (let alone other people) at altitude.
Yes in this case max of P99 latencies across all servers is useful. It will be high if any machine's P99 is high indicating that something is not normal. If it's a known ongoing condition, I would make two metrics, one that includes the trouble server in the aggregate and one that doesn't and alert on that to find out new unknown problems.

>”Move fast and break things" just isn't going to cut it anymore.”

That motivational quote should never have made it out into corporate communication. It was embraced by everyone[1] because it seemed edgy and hey that company is successful in spite of itself.

That should never have been embraced by anyone especially outside specific contexts.

[1]Just about everyone embraced it because it was a kind of punk attitude in the face of stodgy enterprise development schedules. Everyone wanted to seem cool, so they went whole hog.

There was an attempted military coup by the ministry of war when the emperor decided to surrender. That was after the second bomb had been dropped.

>Security is tricky for many companies since security is still somewhat complicated compared to the level of talent you can hire, and the amount of software needed to run an enterprise.

Still we see databases with no password made accessible on the internet, maybe it is time that you don't employ someone that has no training at all, or offer a training program, say if your developer needs to use TodaysCoolDb then have him trained on how to use it instead of him copy pasting the hello world from a webpage.

The amount of money you invest in your data security should be proportional to the data you collect, so collecting less will help you or investing more into security training and auditing your own systems.

Another way to frame it: you seem to believe that we can adapt arbitrarily at an arbitrarily fast rate.

There is however inertia both in infrastructure building and in changing mentalities that means it isn't the case.

I'm not sure we'll adapt fast enough to the current challenges (assuming it's not already too late for a large scale disaster). The future will tell who was right.
You can build your own Flatpaks from source, too. In fact that's probably how a lot of development is done these days around GNOME and its wider community when using Gnome Builder. You make a change, and Gnome Builder builds a Flatpak and runs it for you so you can test it.
I am pretty confident the Zoom team can fix this and the other issues mentioned in the great security article from yesterday. They seem to do good stuff and I love how well it works.
Which is awful and anti-intuitive--far worse than merely non-discoverable. It looks like a familiar control system that a hardware synth would have, but it's actually just a skin on a vertical slider: so it not only forces you to learn a different interaction anyway, but on top of that it lies to you about what it's doing!

Skeuomorphism worshippers have a lot of nerve to complain about abstract GUI philosophies when their own cult hasn't eradicated these design atrocities. Gosh, it sure looks pretty though...

That might have been (in part) due to all of the underpowered PCs sold with "Windows Vista Capable" badges, IIRC there was a class-action lawsuit because of it.
In my opinion this is a corollary of Conway's law [1]: "organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations".

Code that demands more communication then what people are comfortable with is bound to fail (become unmaintainable and produce many bugs), so the law of demeter codifies communication structures as a law about code dependencies and architecture.

It follows that for small teams and personal projects the law of Demeter might not be worth following since they don't suffer from these communication problems. Also microservices an application of the law of Demeter to larger chunks of code instead of just classes.

> The user consent parts of gdpr, are, imo, not good.

Indeed, this seems to be really lacking as far as I've seen.

Compliance with article 7 section 4 in particular (provision of service must not be conditional on consent for processing of personal data not necessary for provision of that service) is blatantly ignored by many actors, with a message of "accept our tracking or we won't let you see our content". Others pretend to be in compliance by having an opt-out which never completes, or other dark patterns.
The innovative idea from posits are they use Golomb-Rice prefix to encode exponent numbers. The Golomb Rice prefix let you encode exponent closer to zero using less space.

For example, the posit16 with nbits=16 and es=1 encodes the exponent like:

01.0 = 0
01.1 = 1
001.0 = 2
001.1 = 3
0001.0 = 4

The format has a normal exponent field with es bits that encodes exponent in binary. When it overflows, it encodes the carry as unnary format. In the unnary format the run-lenght of the same number encodes a number. For example: 0001 would be 3, 001 would be 2, etc. Of course, the posit format is a bit bore complicate than that (it supports negative exponent, for example). But the ideia is pretty much this.

Because of this encoding, if you are working with numbers that have small magnitude posit will have a LOT of more precision than your floating point format.

But the claim that posit16 can have as much precision as binary64 from ieee-754 is misleading. The posit16 can have up to 16-1-2-1=12 bits of precision. While binnary64 always has 53 bits of precision.

They likely compared the binnary64 with posit16 using the accumulator (aka quire). I'm not sure how the quire would map to real world FPU, it uses a lot os space.
I've been using Calibre-Web[1] as a frontend for the Calibre database, visiting it with my Kobo Auro H2O.

It will do neat things like convert to Kindle & email to the Kindle address with a button press as well so I can give access to my mum and so she can seamlessly read the epub books I have in my library on her Kindle.

It doesn't look great on the Kobo, but I can navigate pretty quickly to download a book, and I hardly ever have to touch calibre itself.

It's pretty easy to get set up running headlessly on a server somwhere.

I've been through an acquisition in the past where the purchasing company told us that we'd remain independent and that "we like what you're doing, that's why we purchased the company, we don't want to change anything". This was true for roughly 6 months, then sweeping business and cultural changes happened.

Do you have any assurances that what you've been told, regarding independence will remain true? If so, are those assurances any more concrete than the initial promise of independence?

Not trying to be negative, but telling a company that's been acquired that things will stay the same, seems to be one of the oldest corporate lies in the book.

Thoughts? Thanks for your post.

G2A claim that if you can prove that you lost the money due to a chargeback, but I imagine its a pretty difficult thing to prove. Seems similar to having a bug bounty with a lot of restrictions on what's allowed and then claiming you're software is bug-free because nobody ever claimed the bounty.

Or something along those lines.
