Police mostly just follow orders. Most terrible things we like to pin on police should probably instead be pinned on police, local political leadership, and ultimately local polities.

If police are assholes in your area there's probably a good chance it's because the local political elites want them to be assholes.

I have seen 'secure storage' companies pitch to our management that 5,000 users with @example.com emails already use the personal version of the service offered by the company. Now, I'm wondering if we bought the 'enterprise' version of the service if the same thing would happen to these users. If so, it seems the users ought to be given a choice to convert to the enterprise version or change emails beforehand so they can keep their own personal service intact.
Thank you!

I only have limited resources to test the library. I managed to get it working in Safari on MacOS (though not perfectly - tabbing through the links in the kitchen canvas moves the canvas out of view).

All bug reports of the site not working on various devices are very welcome!

If it is IntersectionObserver causing the problem (as reported in the other comment) - that's sad. I'm using IO on the landing page to switch off the animations when they're not in view; the last thing I want the library to do is drain people's batteries.
I'm a former Trello employee - trellis.coffee is the domain the primary dev server is hosted at. It sounds like they failed to excise your email address from the dev database (at least, that's what we did when I worked there).

Docker Desktop 2.1.x with WSL1 works amazingly well.

I've been running this set up for over a year and the volume performance is superb.

Flask, Phoenix, Rails and Webpack driven apps are all a fantastic experience. For example Webpack takes 150ms to compile SCSS / ES6 JS diffs for large real world projects. Web server reloads on code change are effectively instant and I get microsecond response times in some Phoenix apps in development.

This is on 6 year old hardware too and the source code isn't even sitting on an SSD (but Docker Desktop is installed on an SSD).

In all cases, everything is running in Docker through Docker Deskop and I use the Docker CLI / Docker Compose in WSL as a client to connect to Docker Desktop.

It's all documented at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows....
I'm not sure if this is related, but I made a point of never using the social login feature, at least for personal stuff. Always signup via e-mail (my own e-mail).

The risk is just too big.

With login via email I can still be in control of that account no matter what.
I feel like they don't advertise this enough. I was under the impression that it's a one way street from wsl1 to wsl2. Since wsl2 is not strictly better than wsl1, it's nice to be able to convert and pick the trade-offs you want.
Video coding is one of the few outliers where compilers are not very good at the kind of optimisations that really help. Any experiences with that kind of code does not generalise to other types of code.

You're definitely right that it's a recruiting pressure - that and the free college and the path to naturalisation. But that only holds as long as the casualties are relatively low. And the ~4k dead and ~30k wounded of Iraq was relatively low compared to the ~58k dead of Vietnam. It's not clear what kind of non-nuclear war would bring that level of dead again, but I reckon restarting the Korean war would do it.

Sweden is one of the few countries that didn’t lock down. I’m Danish, and we locked down hard and are now on the process of reopening where as Sweden has 4-5 times the amount of deaths we do per capita, despite being a much, much larger geographical area and they’re closing down more and more as we are opening.

The political fallout the Swedish government will face over having so much more dead than Denmark and Norway is likely going to destroy their current government and lead to a further increase of their right-wing populist party.

So yeah, there are countries that didn’t close down hard, but they look royally fucked because of it. I think the only country where the government failed where the current administration is gaining popularity is the US. For some reason.
non LTS releases (19.04 is one) have only 9 months of support, so I guess this is expected.
Do any accounts have 2 work emails tied to them, I wonder? Would they hand it to Company A, who would gain whatever IP of Company B that was still in the account? Would they arbitrate who gets what?

I'm talking beyond my expertise here - I've never been involved in a CoC argument, but I have witnessed a lot of trolling - but it seems to me like the same guy who would be happy to argue endlessly about the trouble he's caused and the punishment or censorship that's being meted out on a case by case basis would also be happy to argue endlessly about a code of conduct and its application. Just please pay attention to him!

I sort of suspect the same applies to the third parties who like to whinge about how moderation is being done.

> "Case-by-case" doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of time. It just means you're asking yourself "is this person being disruptive" as opposed to being compelled to argue technicalities in order to justify your actions as a moderator.

Even I have seen the "you handled this one way last month, why are you treating this guy differently today?" arguments. I imagine if you're willing to discuss your decisions at all, you're going to be forced to argue technicalities, if you're infested by the kind of people who like to argue technicalities.
When I was consulting it was common for companies to add my professional e-mail to their services, because forcing me use an e-mail provided by them could be used as proof of employment, and that's something they didn't want.

They used to create an account using my professional contact email without asking, of course, and it would give me all sorts of problems with some SaaS services. Stuff similar to the ones in this post. Most of the time it was harmless (I'd lose access to another client), but it was always a headache.

The middle-of-the-road solution for me was to nicely ask them to remove it and use something like companyname@mydomain.com.

Of course the @mydomain.com solution didn't work for long as well (thanks, Salesforce), so I started using throwaway Google Accounts.

I don't blame MS for giving up. Think about how complex it is to maintain a custom version of the Linux kernel which isn't a kernel but a wrapper for your very foreign OS. I'm surprised they even went that route.

My guess is they people who put it together were under the assumption that Linux should be as simple as to implement as the old Windows Subsystem for Unix and POSIX API.
I do agree with the sentiment that "Cops are human".

However, I note (from your patreon) that you are both white and female. I don't normally like to pull the "demographic card", but in this case I think that will have made a huge difference to your experience. The police's stereotyping of people of colour is well documented. And I don't think most women realise how much suspicion men are treated with by default by a lot of folks.

One experience in particular really drove this home for me: I'd dressed up in "women's clothes" (a skirt, tights, a sequin top, lipstick, etc) for a party, and I had to walk my friend to the train station through a busy shopping centre. Some people gave me weird looks, but most people actually seemed a lot more friendly than normal. Smiling at me kindly, etc. It was eye-opening to me that having a feminine appearance could make people treat you so differently.
I can confirm that outlook.com is truly awful in that regard. The fact that I continously got important emails marked as Spam, even when they were from an UN org and I've exchanged emails with some of the participants before, made me leave it and migrate to Mailbox.org.
Now I sometimes my emails don't make it to MSFT inboxes, but it has been less of a problem so far. And after having set the Junk filter to the most permissive settings (something that you can't with Outlook.com), only one "legit" Phishing mail landed there.
Hmm... I cannot find it. Do you have the link?

I don't understand how this is an issue. Just don't confirm the account. Or are there SaaS platforms where you can add users with arbitrary emails without confirmation?

My guess is that a decent review of a hard drive takes a non-trivial amount of work: review unit acquisition, test setup, test execution, test repetition, analysis, writeup, publishing, ...

And that work needs to be paid for.

And nobody buys review magazines any more.

And advertising revenue on review sites can only pay for a small handful of SKUs to be reviewed. So only the sexiest, mass-marketest units get reviewed.

And the vendors fly under the review radar by flooding the market with so many variants that there isn’t enough funding to review more than a tiny fraction of them.

And by the time any headway is made into reviewing current models, new ones are released and suddenly nobody is interested in the old ones, further squeezing the window of opportunity for advertising revenue. And eliminating entirely the incentive for long-term testing.

Meanwhile, review sites realise they can get paid more in bribes/freebies/access than in advertising, and either outright compromise their reviews or only report the hits and never the misses.

And so consumers are flying blind, trying to extract signal from the noise of furious churn.

AVOID whenever possible sms-based 2fa. Use totp codes.

SMS makes your phone a single point of failure [1].

I currently use the OTP feature of keepassxc, so that I can still generate otp code but can have those codes replicated on my trusted devices. You can save the seed of the TOTP and re-install the otp on other devices too.

Upon closer inspection I see that cost per click is down quite a bit. But the increased traffic makes up for it.

Strange, I would think that in the current times, the value of a visitor is higher for many companies. If they sell digital goods and services, people should have more time now for those.
> Around 200 million Americans will eventually get it, barring extraordinary events (like a vaccine arriving in 6 months). We cannot change this.

This doesn't seem right to me. With social distancing now, and testing and tracing once we have enough tests available, it seems to me that we should be able to keep the total number of infected people well below 200M, even if a vaccine takes the expected 18-24 months. If there's a solid argument that this is not the case, I'd like to hear it.

No, but those are extreme outliers, and not relevant at all to discussion about large scale programs.

You can absolutely not write a program much larger than 256 bytes in the style you use to write those. It would be utterly incomprehensible and unmaintainable. The small size actually works in your favour here, and allows you to use incredibly questionable tricks.

I work in the second largest region of my country, which is not where many of the hip tech firms are located. And it shows in the tech stacks around here, it’s mainly C#, JAVA and PHP and no one is really doing the no-page-reload front-ends, and no one seems to care.

The way I was taught this is that the strongest force and impulse (integral of a force over the time interval) is upwards after the explosion. The ship is already structurally destroyed at this point. Nothing works even if the ship does not immediately sink. When the ship falls donwards is when the keel breaks, hull breaks and water gets in. Any subsequent oscillation can cause more damage.

I live in a big city and would see virtually zero impacts. I’d still prefer to keep the USPS.

But the push to privatize it isn’t coming from people like me. It’s coming from conservative voters who skew rural.

If they want to privatize it I say just give them what they want.
> Or are there SaaS platforms where you can add users with arbitrary emails without confirmation?

In my experience, yes!

But the problem is not so much them adding without asking, it's the fact that the SaaS companies are making random assumptions regarding who owns the email account, or who owns the domain name of those accounts, and not letting users know that before accepting. Apparently only gmail/hotmail/yahoo are safe, unfortunately.

That was something else. When Craig Federighi announced "sign in with apple" he mentioned "We wanted to solve this, and many developers do too. So, now we have a solution".

Bluemail developers thought, Craig was talking about them. Apple copied my work with the help of a prior art filed before Bluemail disclosure. Craig was referring to my work.

A a native Czech speaker, i never really understood what it means that 'ch' is one letter in Czech. It is clearly two graphemes representing one phoneme, so one could think it is a digraph, but it has some special properties like being one element in collating order. I think people just started to call it one letter to have one-letter-one-sound property.
And "bell" in "bell curve" shouldn't be capitalized -- it's not someone's name, it's just that the curve has (somewhat) the shape of a bell.

Here's someone who wrote a load library routines in asm and claimed they were faster.

https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/dygsvm/heavyth...

I was skeptical, so I looked into his zlib implementation. It was 18% faster than gzip v1.6. The author said, "all I did was hand-compile the reference implementation, an 18% reduction in user-space time is a big advantage IMO."

I am not skeptical any more! More details of the benchmarking are in the linked thread.
it all depends on circumstances. Romania had 400k workers returning from Italy in the past month. It is harder to contain.
Easy answer: "An email address attached to your account is being set up for SSO. You must update your account:

1. Remove the example.com address from your account. Warning: You will lose access to all boards shared with this email address.

2. Accept the SSO migration. Warning: You will no longer be able to sign in with your Trello email and password.
You are right, but at a larger level the economy itself may be a cure that kills the patient. Pursue economic growth even if it doesn't make us happier and destroys the natural environment. In that sense, the current events can be seen as the antidote to the cure that was harming the otherwise healthy patient.
That's true. The overhead on relatively small systems with lot of simple binaries might stil be considerable. But it's probably not the main reason for the difference in snappiness.
And in fact this used to be how it worked. Work boards showed up in a separate section that was clearly defined as enterprise. So my private work boards, team boards, and template boards were there. My family and personal boards were under my username. And it worked like this for years. Sans souci
