To clarify, this has a better API and integrates cleanly with git itself.

$ git identity -h
usage: git identity [-d | --define] <identity> <name> <email> [<ssh-file>] [<gpgkeyid>]
or: git identity [-p | --print] [<identity>]
or: git identity [-s | --get-settings]
or: git identity [-r | --remove] <identity>
or: git identity [-l | --list]
or: git identity [-R | --list-raw]
or: git identity [--define-gpg] <gpgkeyid>
or: git identity [--define-ssh] <ssh-file> [<ssh-verbosity>]
or: git identity [-u | --update]
or: git identity [-c | --get-shell-command] [<identity>] [<command>]
or: git identity <identity>

So you can define identities such as `work`, `personal`, and then after cloning/init, run `git identity personal` to setup GPG or SSH keys, name and email.
The web wasn't "supposed to" be anything.

Wikipedia is what the web was supposed to be. Prior to that you had Usenet (for conversation) and services like Gopher, Archie, and Veronica (various sorts of databases). The web was meant to be an accessible front end for that that wasn't as headache-inducing as 80x25 terminal.
I strongly disagree that the democratization of knowledge is hard to find / that what floats at the top is the most popular, and I strongly disagree that Google is doing anything to make it so.

Imagine in 1995 asking someone whether MSG is harmful or whether razor blades were ever found in Halloween candies. You would hear fairly confident answers of yes to both. Perhaps someone would feel like checking things, and they'd pull out a book of popular facts or an encyclopedia that happily answered yes (or perhaps no) without much discussion, and that would be the end of it. (The Encarta College Dictionary, which awkwardly straddled the transition from books to the internet, had an entirely uncritical definition of "Chinese restaurant syndrome" as a real thing, for instance.)

Go to Google and type in "is msg harmful" and the featured snippet says that while some people have a sensitivity to it, it's definitely not harmful in anywhere near the amounts used in food.

Go to Google and type in "razors in halloween candy" and the top result is a Wikipedia page debunking the urban legends of the '80s. After it is a YouTube video reporting on an actual case of razor blades being found in candy this past Halloween, which Wikipedia hasn't been updated for. In a single Google SERP above the fold, you already have a more accurate synthesis of multiple sources than any single publication has. (And no, I didn't plan this, I didn't even know about the 2019 cases until just now!)

What about political correctness? There's no shortage of content criticizing either the current president or his political opponents past and present. Or, say, search for "puberty blockers" and you get YouTube videos both in favor of them and against them, an handout from Seattle Children's Hospital on how to get them, an article from The Federalist on why they're clearly dangerous, a paywalled article from The Economist discussing it, an article from NBC News saying they've lowered the suicide rate among trans kids... basically any viewpoint you want or don't want, you can find it.

It's all there.

I think the value that film gives us lies more in the journey than in the final result. With vintage lenses and enough digital processing you approximate 90% of the aesthetic qualities of most old film stocks. Nothing can replace the romanticism of shooting with limited exposures, having to develop and scan and print, and embracing all the imperfections that come with the process.

I've been a "dedicated amateur" street / event photographer and photojournalist for a few years, and the decisions that have helped me improve the most have been 1) shooting with a wide prime (28-35mm) and 2) learning to shoot and develop film.
A personal example. Gym equipment: barbells, weight plates, squat racks, etc are either sold out or way overpriced right now because gyms are closed. I bought a barbell set the week before my gym closed, and now that I went to look to buy new weights for it Im looking at "out of stock until May"

I don't understand how you can acknowledge the cpu is literally rewriting your code on the fly by changing the order of operations and making things massively parallel and rewriting things in a proprietary language, while holding the belief that "microcode is really not that different from assembly". At least you can inspect what a C compiler emits to assembly.

And this is why allowing scripts/embedded executable files in document formats has always been a bad idea. There's always someone who will mess it up.

Very cool utility. Rust seems like an odd choice since there's little processing work to be done other than the zipping - which could be outsourced to the "zip" tool - but I guess a learning exercise is a learning exercise.
I think mostly IT scams or falsely representing a tax agency. But these days I mostly get automated calls. I have a way around those which is when I answer a call, I don't speak until the other side says hello. Automated calls just assume the line is dead and hangup. I think these automated called are used by the spammers to identify live numbers a flurry of real call will follow up in a few days.

I’ve experienced the same thing - I always right the microphones attached to earbuds were worthless, but compared to a laptop microphone, which picks up every last bit of background noise, my cheap ($15) earbuds’ microphone does a good job at only picking up my voice, with clear enough quality.

If you’re using Linux and Pulseaudio, look into echo cancellation, it’s easy to enable and can help improve your voice quality a little bit.
That goes back to them upranking fresher results. If the old results were better, they should keep them at the top and ignore fresher but worse quality content. Google exists to rank content, and it should be by quality not age.
I haven't found individual blogs to typically be the problem but commercial websites that focus on things like how-tos. This is especially true if I'm just looking for an answer to a question. I frequently just end up searching Reddit or better a specific subreddit.

As someone who came up as a C++ game dev I just ran into tons of people that acted like people using managed languages were automatically inferior programmers. Even imbibed of this belief a bit myself.

This was a view purely sourced from ignorance. There were people creating awesome things with Java and Python at the time that I and my contemporaryies could probably never coded up.

It was quite embarrassing when I came to realize the combo of ignorance and arrogance I was working from. So now I tend to bias toward assuming most languages people are working with are useful and warrant some amount of respect. I try to only criticize languages I'm extremely familiar with and have had the opportunity to see bad patterns repeatedly emerge from in a variety of code bases.

Basically, I think we can call some languages "bad" or "good" it just takes a lot of evidence and I'd rather avoid ranking them altogether.
Maybe we should lobby Uber to add functionality to their mobile app to eliminate the need for a legacy phone call.

Maybe after a few popular apps do that, the phone companies will start to fear losing relevance and finally take effective action against phone spam.

>Before social media, people built their own websites just to put their art out there. Now everything runs through a walled garden, and to your point, it's easier to tweet than to go build a website no one will visit.

And yet there is more content on the web, of greater variety and higher quality, than there ever was on that old web. Youtube is a walled garden, but some of what's on there is brilliant, and there's certainly plenty of non-commercial "for the love" content as well. Twitter is, well, Twitter, but accounts like TheSunVanished are publishing ARGs on the platform. Streaming music, video, gaming, all sorts of platforms are full of creative expression despite also being centralized.

Is all of that really unarguably terrible merely because everyone putting their art out there didn't first go through the trouble of manually writing HTML pages on a shared host first?
If you're hungry, you plant dense staple crops - an acre can yield something like 10 tons of potatoes (or carrots or pumpkins) - if you're not selling produce, then even planting 0.1-0.2 acres of potatoes means you'd have more potatoes than your family needs (because you eat lots of other things). It also takes a lot of labor if you don't have specialized machinery and will take a lot of space in the basement, but it will keep you from starving even from quite small plots of land.

A fruit tree is great, but the proper time to plant one is ten years ago.
Well keyboards are an interesting one. Airliners have space to install hardware keyboards, light aircraft don't so they have touch displays.

You could argue that an onscreen keyboard is significantly less mental load for the pilot than having to scroll letter by letter on a "dumb" interface.

Where do accidents happen? It's fairly rare for a plane to just break. And even then, if your electronics fail there are usually mechanical backups for the critical instruments. It's much more common for pilots to reach task saturation and make mistakes.

> If your audience visits other pages than yours, it will show irrelevant info from these pages rather than perfect match from yours.

I empirically disagree. For me Google often shows small sites with perfect matches before big sites with vague matches and a few of my small sites also rank very well next to giants.

Why not use quotation marks?
Yes, this term has been used in the industry for always encrypted on the wire and at rest, but not "never decrypted" over the years.

If you think about it for hosted services that provide non-trivial functions for your data, you'd see the definition of e2e we apply to messenging apps would never apply.

By becoming so dominant they shifted from organization to inspiration, and not the good kind of inspiration, the kind where you have to spend lots of time shaping yourself to please the algorithm so that what you do and how you look is dominated by Google, whatever you're trying to do/share/sell is secondary to that.

It might be easier, but it depends on your target audience how effective it is.

It takes courage to remove the touchscreen.
It’s not like trying to flip just the right toggle. You’ve flipped it thousands of times and memorized its exact location through haptic memory. You gently feel the surroundings to ensure your hand is in the right location and then you make the decisive motion with your fingers. You don’t need to look while doing this. This is how hands work. This is how you type. I wish people would stop pretending they don’t understand this.
I believe there are other ways to rank content than the modern feed and votes/shares.

Teams and editorial boards are great at working together to build things, wikipedia, reddit wikis, fandom/wikia. But the tools they have to calculate consensus (not just the most popular answer but the most correct one, given a cultures beliefs) are stone age. Mahalo.com was an attempt at collaborative information sorting, and https://inside.com/ isnt a bad successor, in theory.

I also think the premise that search/feed are the best options is flawed. The directory was, and stills is a great way to drill down into topics. Search should be more encyclopedia/directory like, and less feed like.

And even in the realm of search, some flags or operators to specify if I'm looking for a historical result, a timely news result, a review, a fact, or an opinion could come in handy.

Google would benefit from humans sitting down, searching things and then going "what should the top results actually be, why are we not there" from a much more exerting their bias standpoint. How are they ranking recipes without a kitchen to taste them? I would totally support a Google recipe division taste testing and ranking technique,to actually know what the best pot pie recipe is. It would be less a waste of money than another messenger product every other year.

Selling PDF files with a customizable preview
Hi there,

I am a web developer/entrepreneur and I want to build a simple website for selling PDFs - in a more efficient manner.

My idea is simple: as a PDF seller, you would upload the document you want to sell and my site would automagically generate a preview of the document (by redacting words and making the text uncopiable).

I have never heard of any other websites currently doing this, correct me if I'm wrong!

Is this something you would use or do you think it's useless?

Also, if you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me.
April 1st, well done
From a customer's perspective they appear to be highly adaptive. I've experienced a range of changes to the workflow, eg prime now orders will replace items with near substitutes. You get a time sensitive text message to confirm whether you approve of the replacement. Otherwise they'll make the choice for you upon decision timeout. Non essential items still come, they appear to be pushed back a month. This seems to be contingent on where the item is in the warehouse network. Stuff that shipped closer to home seemed to be a handful of days delayed or something. Jury's still out for us on how subscribe and save will behave since we are awaiting the next batch. Amazon has also implemented quotas on all sorts of products. Grocery delivery orders used to reset their clocks at midnight, now they seem to randomize it since people caught on and jumped in on the order openings. They've been rolling out a steady stream of these workflow changes; I find it very impressive and dynamic that they can carry this out in near realtime.
Don't play games with this. Buy a good quality surgical scrub brush and use it regularly. They are not inexpensive, but they last a long time. You can usually buy them locally from a medical supply store. When I worked in hospitals, we always washed with a surgical scrub brush.
The big issue is various how to sites and republishers. If I could filter out ~100 particular domains, my search experience would be much improved.
I'm not saying it necessarily proves it, but I'd like to hear people's takes on this, and how much panic searching might have had an impact.
Yes you can technically do anything, but unless the press release says "Dark Sky is joining Apple but is also deleting all customer data from its servers beforehand" it's safe to assume that Apple owns the entire company (including its physical and intellectual assets) unless proven otherwise.
Agreed, and employers should pay taxes to fund the government services they rely on. Unfortunately the corporate world has decided that having to fund an extra HR person to deal with healthcare is preferable to any sort of taxation and oversight. Society suffers. The last 50-75 years of corporate thought has been to attack any sort of taxation entirely.
"People expect to find their acquaintances to talk to in a messaging application."

That hasn't been the case in my use of Skype, for instance. I'm not sure if it's changed, but when I used it it had no real name requirement, and the people I communicated with over it had to tell me their Skype usenames out-of-band, like through email or by phone. There was no directory that would have been useful to us, as we didn't use our real names (or phone numbers).

So your assertion that people on messaging applications expect to find their acquaintances (through it) is simply false in the case of Skype, which is one of the most popular messaging applications in existence.

Discord is another extremely popular messaging application that didn't require me to give my name or phone number.

"Signal refuses to keep that database, because it is practically as valuable to adversaries as message plaintext."

And a database of phone numbers is not?

"the "other way" PGP came up with is (wait for it) a global directory of key metadata."

If you're talking about pgp/gpg keyservers, those aren't necessary for communication via pgp/gpg, as keys can be exchanged and verified by other means. Furthermore, the entities (plural) most people communicate through using pgp/gpg (ie. mail servers) don't control the keyservers, so they're not centralized like Signal is. This is a distributed system.

"What you cannot reasonably do is suggest that there was no tradeoff, or that their use of phone numbers is somehow obviously flawed and privacy-hostile."

I can't believe that you can't see that requiring people to hand over their phone numbers is a violation of privacy, or that it could in fact be objectionable to people who care about their privacy. It's even more mind boggling that you'd argue that handing over one's phone number offers more privacy than not doing so.

This is akin to Facebook's real name policy, and arguably even worse, as so much tracking is tied to one's phone.
I run tech at a small farming and gardening supply company in Maine. We’ve seen order volume jump 2-300% in the past few weeks. We’ve done several VPS upgrades to handle the increased traffic, and our order number allocation system has broken down several times recently. Our digital infrastructure is keeping up now, but we’re all still scrambling to keep the staff healthy and safe as we all work to get the orders out the door safely and responsibly.

Prosper and LendingClub loan marketplaces are of similar high risk profile in the US (the only borrowers on those platforms are those who couldn’t borrow from banks or other traditional lenders). I expect those investors will end up with interest and principal losses as well, the cost of investing in consumer subprime debt.
