That completely makes sense in my mind just because my favorite reddit app is called slide for reddit. I think reddit forced everyone to use x for Reddit in their name as opposed to Reddit X.
My company recently started using trello and noted my old login was hijacked somehow and associated with my work domain.

How do I unfuck this situation while still employed with access to both my gmail and wor email?
but we have no cure for this.

We also basically have no treatment, and that's why people are freaked out.

I'm personally encouraged by the speed at which people have risen to the occasion, adapted and begin developing new hypotheses. I think if we can figure out a more effective treatment modality, people will calm down dramatically.
YouTube music is shutting down the lifetime guarantee is for the product or service life not the subscriber's life. So I am not sure where they are wrong in shutting the service.
Are you sure though? I was in the same situation except I'm both user & admin for my org.

I was notified about the Apr 14 deadline by trello twice on both my personal (not connected to org in any way) and work email:

- on Jan, 30;

- on Feb, 29.

As much as I hate Atlassian for their other products this seems like a responsible timeline for such kind of change.
It needs a VHD, which requires setting aside a partition of your disk, meaning you can't dynamically share space with your Windows files. That's a huge downside for me. (By "partition" here I'm just referring to the English sense, not the MBR/GPT per se.)

You also can't nor search/modify your Linux files directly from Windows like I mentioned. The 9P server with WSL1 has been so slow as to be unusable for some directories when I try to use it. Does it feel native SSD-speed on WSL2?

As for RAM, does it really share RAM with Windows? That's great news if it does, but I don't think I've seen any VMs do this, though I've never tried it with Hyper-V... if it does,
I'm guessing that's what lets it use memory ballooning?
I can’t trust my teammates to write code that doesn’t use raw eval()’s all over the place.

Getting them, nevermind relying on them to write Python/JS in the correct way is straight up out of the question.

At least I know in Terraform/HCL they can’t map a config change over the 1000 new instances they spun up because they happened to write their for loop wrong.
Ah yea, this was recently on HN through some other project [1]. Financialmodelingpre.com is amazing.

You shouldnt conflate browser defaults with good usability.

Sure its generally speaking a good rule of thumb to follow but saying the default is the right thing to do because its a default is a logical fallacy. Its appealing to authority for no actual reason.

Why is the default the default? Is it because of user studies or is it because a developer said thats the easiest thing to implement in the time i have available.

I want this feature in the standard.

If there exists any memory block allocated using malloc() / calloc() / realloc() which has not been free()'d, at the end of the program, they would be free()'d automatically.

One can easily do it with keeping a linked list and using atexit(), but, can it be added to the standard?

A general question, will anything, any feature, which is "easy" to implement in pure C, like array knowing its own length or pascal strings, NOT be allowed to be in C standard, even if it is widely used, maybe almost everywhere?
I didn’t like the event model in Kolibri so I gave up on it after poking around programming for a while. There are a couple interesting games. I like the Lawnmower game that’s like a house painting game I once typed in for the C64.
They're primary batteries. Which is to say: not rechargable.
Many programs are subject to two constraints:

1. Behave usefully when practical, if given valid data.

2. Do not behave intolerably, even when given maliciously crafted data.

For a program to be considered usable, point #1 may be sometimes be negotiable (e.g. when given an input file which, while valid, is too big for the available memory). Point #2, however, should be considered non-negotiable.

If integer calculations that overflow are allowed to behave in loosely-defined fashion, that will often be sufficient to allow programs to meet requirement #2 without the need for any source or machine code to control the effects of overflow. If programmers have to take explicit control over the effects of overflow, however, that will prevent compilers from making of the any useful overflow-related options that would be consistent with loosely-defined behavior.

Under the kind of model I have in mind, a compiler would be allowed to treat temporary integer objects as being capable of holding values outside the range of their types, which would allow a compiler to optimize e.g. x*y/y to x, or x+y>y to x>0, but the effects of overflow would be limited to the computation of potentially weird values. If a program would meet requirements regardless of what values a temporary integer object holds, allowing such objects to acquire such weird values may be more efficient than requiring that programs write code to prevent computation of such values.
The idea of defining a set of transition rules and then analyzing the properties of some closure (e.g., think reflexive and transitive) of those rules. For transition rules of various orders, expressiveness, etc. And then stepping back and realizing that's what you're studying and generalizing it by thinking rigorously about the relationships between those systems and so on. That's really pretty much then entire modus operandi of a huge chunk of PL research, and there's a ton of mathematical and actual technology built up for doing so. The algorithms that are core components of Stephen's "standard library" for this project scratch the surface.

Atlassian, at its core, is a software integrator. They buy stuff and add it to the heaping pile of duct tape garbage they’re schlepping. Trello is just another skull and crossbones on their long list of pillages. It was only a matter of time before the integration got some steam and the atlassian cancer began to take residence.

Gates also was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein:

I wonder what else they practiced.
This sounds like Shibboleth. The SP bolts onto httpd and delivers things like user attributes as server variables that apps can simply read. It even works if httpd is a reverse proxy in front of nodejs or whatever else, since you protect the app using location directives which play nice with proxypass directives.

The opposite certainly exists though, for example simplesamlphp which gets commingled into a php app codebase as you described.
Well, if you want to use multimedia and do web development on the same machine, what are you going to do? Linux support is somewhere between nonexistent and utterly broken for the first one and the same can be said for the second on Windows. So your choices are, 1. run Linux primary, put Windows in a VM 2. run Windows primary and put Linux in a VM 3. Give up and just run a separate Linux server.

I've been running this in the insider branch for the last 3 months and it's been amazing. You can even recompile your own kernel if you want.

Your essentially getting the "real thing" with pretty seamless integration to the rest of windows. I'd never want to go back to WSL1.
The biggest benefit is usually that you can forgo calling conventions in your own code because everything is visible to you. Of course the code starts looking like spaghetti.
I think we never should have climbed down from the trees.
GitHub did this to me a few years ago. I still feel violated. Not by my idiot former employer. I feel violated by GitHub. I got my account back. Sort of. They detached a significant amount of my content from my account, and returned to me a gimpy lobotomized version of myself.

All my old GitHub comments are credited to “ghost” now. I was somewhere in the first 12,000 GitHub accounts.

My relationship with GitHub significantly predated my dalliance with this one employer years ago. I trusted GitHub. My GitHub account was a formative part of my identity. I still can’t believe it and I still can’t forgive them. I lost some of my sparkle that day.

I think that was the point. They didn't do anything of real substance, so was it better than doing nothing?

To me, it appears equivalent to doing nothing, and that's not better than doing nothing...
What are you using for the emulation? QEMU?
Of course! Thank you for the awesome tool. Probably would've lost my marbles entirely without it.
The vulnerability is that there was no public key encryption, hence allowing a MiTM to redirect the steam app to their own site.
Yep. If anything, "old-school" Visual Studio is the one that feels bloated by comparison, despite being a native app. Software quality cannot be reduced to the choice of language or framework.
While similar in concept, Wine is better than WSL1 in a lot of ways due to supporting sound, graphics, and GPU acceleration.

I've always been suspicious of WSL because it follows a narrative that benefits Microsoft - that Linux is primarily a command-line/server environment, and the graphical and audio applications for Linux are not worthwhile. It doesn't have to be like this. WSL1 was based on an Android environment for Windows Phone called Project Astoria, which did support graphics.

What has happened to the right wing in this country? It's all qannon, absurd conspiracies, pizzagate and the rest.

That is a very clearly labeled photo of recipients of the 2001 Carnegie mlMedal of philanthropy. Meaning all of those people were called to a location in NY to receive an award for work they did in philanthropy. It doesn't in anyway imply they had a prior connection, or were best friends or are conspiring together. They all got an award on the dame day. It like even the least bit of critical thinking is abandoned for grasping at the absurd.

Everytime I see stuff like this I think of the reporting of the people in SE Asia who were making boatloads of money creating fake news sites last election. One quote from his interview that sticks with me is he said he would just make stuff up, the more absurd the better - the more it would spread as long as it had a few trigger words in it. But always target Republicans, Democrats never share it, but Republican conspiracies is where the money is.

I think of it as "Windows Subsystem for [running] Linux".

The architecture descends from the Windows NT architecture:

The user mode layer of Windows NT is made up of the "Environment subsystems", which run applications written for many different types of operating systems, and the "Integral subsystem", which operates system-specific functions on behalf of environment subsystems.

Though as other users pointed out, in WSL 2, the name is inaccurate.
The operating system handles this for you on process deletion. Lots of “one shot” programs count on this (and (e.g.) file descriptors being automatically closed).
immediate and pervasive reinfection is just not a primary concern, given what we've learned over the past few months epidemiologically and politically.

no governing body would open up everything immediately and let everyone go wild mixing it up. reopening will be controlled and coordinated enough to keep a lid on transmission rates (as implied by the CA roadmap), rather than attempting to eradicate all transmission in one globally-synchronous attempt. that would be wholly unrealistic.
Surely there are other people this applies to much more commonly on HN? Musk and Jobs jump to mind.
There are a number of use cases where Docker for Mac and Windows are painful compared to Linux, and to overcome those problems (like fs performance on shared volumes) people spend a lot of time building hacky solutions.
No, you are mistaken. CC plants have a steam bottoming cycle, but 2/3rds of the power comes from the combustion turbine front end. This gives them a very large advantage over systems where all the power has to go through the steam. And simple cycle plants require no heat exchangers, steam cycle, or cooling water at all.
Docker runs just fine on macOS. eg. https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/Docker.dmg

I chose my words carefully in my original post. Fear accomplishes nothing. Worrying about something (ICU Beds) you ultimately have no control over fixes 0 problems. "Worrying doesn't take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace". People absolutely should take every precaution recommended by their local officials. But living in fear for their life is both unneeded and counter-productive.

> In this case, I did not even use the company email. I was my personal gmail.

From the Atlassian community page it looks like the Trello account in question was linked to both your personal gmail account and an email account belonging to your former employer. Was that Trello account only for work items for that former employer? Or was it a mixture of both work items for that employer and personal items for you? Or was it just your personal account that happened to have your work email as an alternate email address?

If it was just a work Trello acccount with your former employer, then I'm not sure why you would need access to that Trello account now that you're no longer with that employer. Atlassian is giving you the option of disconnecting your personal gmail from that account so you can create a new one if you want a personal Trello account.

If it was a mixture of work and personal items in the Trello account, then the obvious lesson learned for the future is to not do that.

If it was just your personal Trello account, I don't see why your previous employer would have a problem with telling Atlassian that it's not their account and that the email address in their domain can be removed.

In any case, it doesn't look to me like this situation is Trello's fault. You say in a comment on the Atlassian community page that "It is very evident from the reply that Atlassian favors corporate accounts over individuals", but I don't see that they are favoring either party here. In fact they are refusing to favor either party, by refusing to make a decision--which email the account "really" belongs to--that they should not be making. This is something the two parties involved--you and your former employer--need to work out. It's not something Trello should be deciding. They have no way of knowing which party--you or your former employer--is the "right" owner of this account.
Uh, my property tax bill has two amounts on it - the tax on the land value and the tax on the building. The bill is the sum.
I recently wanted to run some linux apps on windows (simple stuff like ls, ssh-keygen, etc) and found that most instructions were actually pointing me to install a ubuntu VM rather than use the native subsystem stuff touted a couple years ago.

I was a little disappointed in this. Running a VM is a lot more hassle than just running the apps natively.

Feels like a step backwards than a step forward.
The million dollar question is what you use now instead of GitHub.
Technically, there are ways to run nuclear reactors at below full power. But economically, it's ruinous to do so. Almost all the costs of a nuclear plant are fixed. The already poor levelized cost of the plant's output becomes even worse.

You could charge batteries with nuclear output, but why do so, when other sources are cheaper? And the battery charging can be moved around in time, so the intermittency of those sources is less of a problem.

Similarly, why use expensive energy to sequester carbon when cheap energy could be used instead?
What historical examples of negative consequences of government control of land and renting it out to the highest bidder are you thinking of?

'As many tests as possible' is useless advice. Imagine if GDPR said companies should make data as secure as possible or NHTSA said make cars as safe as possible.
I appreciate the effort you're putting in to this and it's a shame you're getting downvoted this heavily.

I would want to see a very careful treatment of this data before I could be convinced that temperature is a greater factor in transmission rates than stay-at-home policies or population density. It would be really easy to cherry-pick examples.

A couple of counter-examples that come immediately to mind are Chicago and Florida. Chicago's climate should fit your model but they have about 1/3rd the cases per capita vs New York City. Florida meanwhile should be warm enough to be outside of your "Covid Belt", but cases there are expanding extremely rapidly and it's likely to overtake Washington state in per capita cases and deaths. Louisiana similarly has one of the highest per capita death rates in the nation.

Climate might be one factor, but it's not clear that it's a big factor, let alone the most important one.

The US, like the UK, did a terrible job early on when containment was most critical. Several states are in lockdown now but arguably, the reason for our awful current new cases/death rate is due to the resistance to taking action in February when it first hit. There are also many places in the US that are not in lockdown. From another comment: “Approximately 44 of 50 states have lower per capita death rates than Sweden.“ The US cannot be compared directly to Sweden because it doesn’t have a single policy like Sweden. It’s also worth noting that Sweden has taken some lockdown measures ie your comment about “no lockdown” isn’t accurate. Finally, it’s early days and time will tell. The UK changed their policy because there is no credible evidence that herd immunity is effective. I believe Sweden will as well once the disease spirals out of control. And hopefully less people will die as a result. Unfortunately, there will also be the insufferable few that claim we could have survived without being cautious because you can’t prove that those measures were responsible for saving lives. Don’t be that person.
It notably does not present any sort of figures, expectations, statistics, or mathematics. No one wants to take responsibility. They'd rather have nebulous goalposts they can shift whenever they like. Hell, it's worked so far in convincing people mathematical models don't need to be accurate anymore - you have people in the streets defending embarrassingly poor epidemiological models.
