Where there's a will, there's a way.

The internet is designed to send data from point A to point B. Keeping point A and point B truly anonymous means that the internet won't work.

Tools like Tor don't really protect you, it's more like they make it hard enough to figure out who you are that only people with strong incentives will track you down.
Is that what you’re doing?
I understand it can be used for those things, it just seems like it comes with a fairly hefty downside also. You can get a Moto E5 prepaid for $40-$50 if you get it from an AT&T store and sign up for a $15-$20 a month prepaid service (likely cheaper than adding it to a plan anyway), and that's a fairly modern phone and includes a FM radio.

It's not free, which I understand, but it's also not nearly as likely to be immediately exploited by some of the various problems older phones have had (SMS hacks, browser exploit hacks, etc).

hey, I'm trying to broadcast it as much as I can :)

fwiw, the adoption curve is definitely going up:

And the growth of the RTK package is especially impressive given that we renamed it from "Redux Starter Kit" to "Redux Toolkit" _after_ we'd released RSK 1.0.

We'll emphasize RTK even more as part of the ongoing Redux core docs rewrite. My goal is that it ultimately becomes the default way to write Redux logic, in much the way that the Apollo folks tell you to use `apollo-boost` and React devs default to use Create-React-App.

On a high level, computing requirements don’t change that much; the biggest problem is our entire ecosystem’s expectations is growing as fast as our hardware gains in performance.

It’s the mentality of the software industry as a whole. Making both pretty and lean versions of the same app is never an option; typically one just makes an electron app and calls it a day. Games are exempt from this and seem to typically target a large variety of hardware.

I don’t know who started this, though. Whether it was the consumers who started buying new computer hardware much more frequently than they are buying drill machines, or the software vendors gradually bloating their apps forcing users to upgrade their hardware. But it seems to be state that we’re in.

Unless you choose a laptop carefully by picking one that is known to run Linux well, you run the risk of running into driver issues.

I chose a Dell XPS 15 two years ago (although with Windows installed), and have had no driver issues beyond what was known at the time of purchase (no fingerprint sensor driver, some problem with chip that switches between Intel and NVidia graphics). Dell have updated the BIOS about once every three months, and there is usually mention of fixes for BIOS for Linux (none that have affected me AFAIK) - helpful BIOS fixes which you don’t get on most other laptops - a very clear indication that there is effort by Dell to support Linux.

The previous 5 years I used boring business Toshiba laptops and had a lucky run of few problems with Linux drivers.
I just remind myself that this world has 7.5 billion people on it, and as a programmer I have a better income than the VAST majority of them.

Gundotra's comment to Bray was "the iPhone is really good" -- so that conversation had to have happened after the iPhone was announced, and perhaps after it shipped -- by which point, by the commenter's account (and yours), Google's strategy had shifted, and they were using Android as a future product, not just a stalking horse. So, I'm not sure there's a contradiction here.
This. Feelings became such a driving force lately, no matter where you look. Politics, business, it's all about how people "feel". And not even really how the feel, but more about the pretending of how they feel.

Your example trends a little bit on the extreme end of the spectrum (I totally get your point, so), but the truth is that for a lot of people that is a truly good experience. IMHO companies are abusing this for cheap employee motivation and PR.
Everybody is hired and fired because of how they express the core values. In some places the top core values are "don't get caught", and "frame your neighbor". In universities it is "get and keep tenure". Both of the above often have other core values, but they are up to you to discover. Sometimes you run across an organization that has stated core values that match the real ones.
Tbh I do not think Chomsky has written on his ideals the way others have, much of his positions are extrapolated from his critiques on other states (please correct me if I am wrong). However he has positively identified himself as an anarchy-syndicalist.

There are multiple ways an anarchist society might respond to a corporation growing too large: convincing its workers to split or find work elsewhere to avoid economic collapse, seizing its assets and forcibly splitting or shuttering its operations, denying it use of supply chains, of debt if the market has currency, etc. a critical aspect of anarchist societies is lack of private property and capital.

Trade unions can hold much of the power; I can’t speak to the concepts of anarchist states. In fact the idea of anarchist currency (anarchy-capitalism or market socialism, I guess?) is something I am unfamiliar with, in part because it obscures the cost in man time and effort it takes to produce a good or service—rather easy too, just consider subscription services where you pay a flat rate, or the labor it takes to get you chocolate or coffee vs how much it is valued in terms of your wages (presumably in a post-industrialization service economy if you’re on this forum). Similarly I do not know what an anarchist state is.

Regardless, the idea is founded in large part on the concept of mutual aid. There is certainly plenty of research into how mutual aid tends towards or away from stability. A quick google search turns up this, for instance: https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00275386/document
read my comment more closely, why are we comparing a voltage with a current?

CFR Case Fatality Rate: fraction of people diagnosed with an affliction that eventually died.

For example if the Sniffles has a CFR of 1%, then 99% of people diagnosed with Sniffles will survive.

Mortality rate: fraction of all deaths in a group, that are attributed to a specific affliction.

For example if mortality rate of Sniffles in Belgium is 4%, then 96% of deaths in Belgium are attributed to other afflictions.

For a comparison check out the following lists:

Your advice makes no sense.

Are you assuming that the user is on Windows? In that case, Safari is not an option (Apple stopped working on Safari for Windows ages ago), nor is the Linux package manager an option (the closest option is Chocolatey, but most people don't use that). Since we're discussing Edge, it's probably safe to assume that they're running Windows.

Or are you assuming that they're running a Mac? In that case, the Linux package manager still isn't an option, and we're kind of off-topic because the original post was about Windows and its default web browser.

Or are you assuming that they're running Linux? In that case, you can't get Safari, nor can you get Edge, and you're probably running Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium already by default. So what's the problem?
this is pretty handy, thanks.
Since domain names are finite, like real estate, why not charge based on demand? In this scenario, in-demand domain names (mostly based on length) would have higher renewal fees than undesirable ones. Perhaps add an order of magnitude in pricing for each character under 7?

6 - $100
5 - $1000

I get the advantage of using React for single-page web apps, but I'm totally with you on the dark mode example.

> I calculated how much that cost the company and made a presentation to my boss about how much more we could have done by hiring minimum wage workers to perform the same manual labor for the same $ they paid us.

This is funny and very self-aware of you, but you bring up a good point.

Would people feel worse/better/the same if the company said "you can take a day off today and we're going to give your day's salary to a bunch of minimum wage labor to perform charity work."

Or maybe give people the option to show up to the event or allow their salary that day to be use to pay a few people to show up in their place.
I think a missing piece of the story is that there haven't been UX designers involved in the development of Linux DEs. MS and Apple have money and motivation to hire UX people and do user testing on their interfaces and they don't even get it right all the time. The folks doing open source desktop environment development are mostly scratching their own itches and so (I think) by definition, developing niche products.

EDIT: For which I am extremely grateful BTW. I love to see experimentation in the UI space. Just pointing out a reason we got here that I don't see mentioned often.
Show HN: Asynchronous Rust HTTP Router Using Regular Expressions
I’ve been on the other side of the table where these decisions are made. It’s rarely malicious. It’s more so trying to emulate companies they think of as successful. Many business leaders believe that market cap == goodness of management, and so they copy companies they know to be large. Culture is part of it. And culture can make a really positive difference, but not when it’s force fed as shown here. The part about only GW being able to do this stuff struck a painful chord with me.

The two big things that determine whether these things suck or rock is basically the amount of money the company invests into its own employees and the amount of growth opportunities. Both of those are (optional) second order effects of the company being wealthy and successful most of the time.
Julia doesn't make it easy to guarantee that you won't allocate anything on the heap. The semantics of the language don't include really any control over that, yet. I hope one day it does. It seems like a tough problem, because the allocation strategy can depend on the results of inference and compilation, which is another thing that is hard to control since the language try hard to have the semantics not depend on inference.

Of course, you can measure the allocations, and you can see as a matter of fact whether some code allocates, but I would say that it's hard to predict what allocates and what doesn't, and that this is still changing (e.g. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/32448)
I've come to accept Conway's law, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law, that "organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."

If you are new to a company and are dealing with legacy code who's logic is messy and the solution seems to be a 'rewrite', there's a high probability the new codebase will be as messy as the old one. Even if you aren't new in an org and yet your legacy codebase is a POS. It's highly likely given the same org doing the rewrite that it'll end up as a POS as well.

So if you are making the code 'simpler', getting rid of layers of abstraction to enable a pivot that never happened, you might run into a CEO who still wants that to be an 'option'. A plethora of special cases all piled on each other probably resulted from no single source of truth on requirements in the org. All of these things will still infect a rewrite from scratch.

Its much better to look into specific parts of the code that time can be taken to refactor properly. The time part is critical.

If you think every employer is going to take advantage of you, then you should start a business and become self-employed.

> You say it's worthless for humans to leave Earth

Woah, I didn't say that. But I agree with the rest of your comment.
For one thing, the vast majority of users, even technical users, don't know what it is or how it works. So sitting someone down with an Lab color picker would likely leave most designers confused.

For another, its ranges are pretty bizarre. It's been a while since I hand-wrote the conversion, but if I recall correctly, the a and b axes had different minima and maxima, and the default conversion without any scaling ends up leaving you with ranges that are something like 0-200 for one axis and 0-500 for the other. You can scale these to be 0-1 or 0-100 or whatever, but there's no agreed-upon conversion used by different software.

Its shape is also non-intuitive. The range of visible colors it represents is not a cube or cylinder or sphere. It's a multi-lobed 3D object that's hard to reason about.

To do the conversion from RGB (which is not only what you get from monitors, but also from camera sensors), you need to know things like the white point of the device it's being displayed on. Users rarely have this information, and operating systems are pretty spotty on supplying it. (And users often misconfigure it.)

I agree it's a good color space for the uses it was designed for. Unfortunately, there are a lot of confounding factors that make it difficult for typical users, even technical ones, to use.
Appreciate the experience report. But non-lts releases are by some definitions all "experimental" - I had the impression canonical pushed for Wayland in 18.04,but then walked it back a bit.

Hm, Wayland by default in 17.10, then back to optional in 18.04 - and so it might stay:

I'm a little surprised, not default for 18.04 made a lot of sense, but I'm not sure why 20.04 won't see a switch.
While I agree with you completely there is a different side. It's better for you since you get more from the relationship.
> It's strange to me that people who make a habit of doing fantastically illegal things on the internet are always so sloppy about it.

This is completely the wrong way to think about it. Remember the Defender's Dilemma: to run an illegal business like this, your opsec needs to be perfect: every single possible channel of information leakage (including the "unknown unknowns"), every minute, every hour, every day, forever. You need to be lucky every time, the feds only need to be lucky once.

When you focus on the specific mistakes that people made and thus call them "sloppy", you're missing all the things they did right; you might not have made those mistakes if you were in their position, but you would've made different mistakes.

What if your password is in LDAP, and you change it the OpenLDAP back-end? Or if you have OpenLDAP talk to AD (via SASL) for password checks, but the rest of the GECOS & group is in LDAP? Is Kerberos covered? How is NFS handled? Automounts?

Doing a ^F I find no mention in the man page of either LDAP or Kerberos.

It's common (i think) to just start work, play along, make friends and skip many valuable versions of item 1. I skip it often... but i know people who pay a lot of attention.

Some places feel like company is out harvesting black hat social engineers to work against their employees. Excuse the language, i don't mean this in any alarmist tone. But anecdotally i've felt this and mostly (sadly) ignored the feeling out of laziness or lack of awareness or cause.
I agree, I switched to "Edgium" at work months ago, then more recently at home, and I noticed a clear improvement in performance compared to Chrome.

That's good advice for people who prioritize maximizing salary and emotional detachment.

Some companies aren't trying to underpay employees, they are charging a fair price to their customersrather than fleecing them. Or they corporately care amount more than the fiscal bottom line.

This requires employees willing to work for a fair wage and not maximum compensation.
Agreed. It's good to have the skillset required to develop a mobile app in its entirety, including the API layer if one is necessary.

If we got in a war with China and soldiers fought each other, we wouldn’t try to charge the soldiers with crimes after the war for killing our soldiers, even though murder is generally worse than hacking. (Excepting war crimes, but is hacking a war crime?)

Considering many of these soldiers are probably conscripts and might be killed or imprisoned if they don’t follow orders to hack us, I can see the case for treating them like normal soldiers and not like criminals.

On the other hand I guess charging individuals is a way for the government to ignore that ultimately China’s government is the one responsible for their military’s actions.
Not even slightly surprised.

When I got my Win 10 machine at work I typed "python" into my command line to see if it was installed and was shocked I didn't get a "command not found" message back, and confused when the MS Store popped up a second later. Win 10 ships with a python.exe that redirects to the MS Store and they hide in a place that makes its tough to remove from the path.

When I got Win 10 at home I got to the shady telemetry opt-out page and immediate switched the install to debian.
On a related note, I worked with a guy once who actually said that perks like free snacks were more important for him than a raise because "it's nice" and that it shows the company appreciated you.
