Most of the apps on my Mac are from the App Store and I wish all of them were.

The Mac App Store is not a failure from the user side, it's where users would look first. Nobody wants to have to go to different websites/repositories every N days to update all of their apps/drivers, or put up with spam from 10 different update notification mechanisms. I still remember that hell from barely 12 years ago. Why do you think gamers flocked to Steam?

As a developer, it's more of a failure of Apple's dismal documentation; I -want- my product to be a nicely sandboxed, well-behaved citizen that only accesses exactly just what it needs, but the state of macOS API documentation was too grim to learn how to do that the last time I tried (like "security bookmarks" and "file providers" from a relatively-simple Swift app).
'Gargantuan' hail in Argentina may have smashed world record
So are you arguing those numbers are acceptable because of the size of nursing homes in Sweden? Or am I missing something in your 2 sentences?
Yeah, it's not really documented, so I was quite surprised when it first happened. They talk about it here though: https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/505178492431269888
I see it often in intranets, wikis, and PDF documentation. It's an additional context clue that you're leaving a closed website. The most egregious examples give you a separate click-through screen when leaving the website. Government web pages seem to do this the most.

It would be nice if we could all use a standard icon or some other constant UI element--like a single underline for internal references and double underline for external? I imagine unique colors would be too difficult to standardize.
Show me evidence that there is 20% prevalence please. What I have seen so far has been very limited study with very shaky evidence (the RKI in Germany back pedalled pretty quickly on the results of the antibody test for example)
This happens all the time all over the World, the more you learn about it the more you lose "faith" in whatever you're doing.

For a peek into the future, Greece has just ended its lockdown and started reopening everything, after having 0-2 deaths per day for a few days. The number of deaths in total is around 120 after two months, last I checked.

The plan was to shut everything down, ramp up testing and ICU beds, then reopen and carefully watch the situation. Let's see how it goes.
I don't know how to put this kindly, but eh... if you can't exercise for 20 seconds, you might be a bit out of shape.
Fair points! Thanks for the feedback. I wrote this article to let people at least consider sustainability when they make things for the internet.

Before researching this I wasn’t aware that it could make an impact.

I agree that stuff like steaming and crypto mining are the big polluters, but why not start small as well?
That's really smart!

I'd maybe even reverse it, having:

Host my-jump-host
Hostname my-jump-host.mydomain.example
User myuser

Host my-jump-host-*
User myuser
ProxyCommand ssh my-jump-host nc $(echo %h | sed 's/^my-jump-host-//') %p

This way, autocomplete in bash would work. Typing "ssh m<tab>", assuming m* doesn't match anything else, would suggest "ssh my-jump-host" (which I often ssh directly to anyway). Then just add "-myotherhost" so the whole sequence becomes "ssh m<tab><bs>-myotherhost". Not a huge saving but I'm lazy and like autocomplete in the shell.
Decade-old then, not decades-old

IMO this should be a disclaimer in bold right at the very top of the article.

I use systemd mainly as a user, only on one of my instances I do some more "admin" like stuff. It works and is absolutely reliable for what I do and did by now. I couldn't imagine going to something else and would also see no reason why I should.
> It would put your password into your `~/.bash_history`

I'm fine typing (or pasting) my password in an interactive prompt when I'm interactively using it; that's not the problem. What I would like a --password option for is when I'm not interactively using it, like from a script. It'll still show up in the process list (ssh could overwrite it but there are some µs where it's there) but my laptop is single-user so that's no big deal.

> I'm sure there's a shell trick you could use to pass a password on the prompt anyway.

There is software that does it, but it's a real pain to find a short command that does it. Simply echo password | ssh user@host does not work, the openssh authors disabled that on purpose.

Ssh keys are, of course, the solution whenever possible, but that's not always possible. I'll be the first to admit that the legitimate uses for --password are rare, but they're definitely there and having to install extra software to make that crap work is just a real pain. I'd rather be able to shoot myself in the foot with unix tools.

Man Behind the Mirror
Man Behind The Mirror is a new telemedicine platform focussed on improving men's wellness.

We are an online-only platform with the aim of making men look and feel their best, by providing advice, guidance and solutions for a range of common, yet sensitive, issues. These include hair loss, ED and anxiety.

Man Behind The Mirror offers medication for purchase through an online consultation and remote pharmacy service, with the treatments delivered directly to the consumer. This means there's no need for any physical meetings with a GP, pharmacist or dentist. Hassle free.

You can check out the site here: https://manbehindthemirror.co.uk/
I have been doing the same thing for awhile. It allows me to access all the services we have set up on the intranet in the office. With Tmux I move around from machine to machine and keep all the work stuff in the office.

The office is also a large university. Therefore, I have access to many additional library and other subscription services.

It’s great as a lot of the office struggled to get a work setup in place. I’m happily the only one who didn’t need Gotomypc. It also helped me save time durning this transition by not having to answer my less technical coworkers questions about getting Gotomypc set up.

I thought that A16Z would care about its reputation enough to make sure it's fairly trustworthy when trying to "educate" people, but can someone explain this claim to me:

> Blockchain Can Wrest the Internet From Corporations’ Grasp

In a way that doesn't involve A16Z cynically mis-representing blockchain as some people's champion. I don't see at all, how you could claim there's something fundamental to the technology that will lead to more consumer power. Does Facebook's Libra look like a great shift towards an open internet? Does Bitcoin decentralize control? Or does it hand that control to the tiny handful of Bitcoin miners and exchanges that handle practically all of the work?

What this "educational" blog seems to be doing is telling you what the most ambitious claims of crypto are, rather than telling you where crypto actually is today.

As a technical matter, the 1s and 0s can be made to do all manner of things, so: sure.

TFA's point, to summarize radically, is that the individual and the society remain in tension. Society tends to crush the individual.

But I'm more sanguine. I submit that humanity is a saturated, agitated solution with societies precipitating and breaking up continually.

What's to be feared is the loss of agitation, but that's beyond our scope, so do your best where you're situated.

I don't know much about it, but I'm fairly sure that compressing the Xorg data stream with lossy compression is going to mess it up completely and would require a complete overhaul of the protocol to make that work. VNC is indeed the more standard unix thing (insofar as remote GUIs can be considered standard on unix-likes) that applies lossy compression to the pictures being sent over.
> "... there was high confidence (99 percent) the expected [US] death toll would be between 66,055 and 70,304."
Why are you letting the federal government off the hook and blaming the victim?
Not at all. I was easily successful enough to have continued in the non-technical side, but chose not to. And you should have seen what the marketing team were coming up with back then - we recreated one of their PPT slide backgrounds with the remains of a Thai meal one boozy team night out.

Plenty of techies can (and do) do it all. The opposite - not so much.

For some definition of mature. You can think of behavior as being convergent or divergent. When performing optimally, convergent behavior follows the herd and produces incremental innovation. Again when performing optimally, divergent behavior shoots off in unexpected directions and produces disruptive innovation.

We tend to associate maturity with convergent behavior. Musk is clearly divergent so, in that sense, he is immature. As he should be.

Both behaviors are needed for society as a whole to progress. There is not one better optimization choice. Many Musk detractors or supporters make the error of assuming one optimization is better than the other, when it is not clearly the case.

Can we accept Musk as an immature valid individual? We should.
> Not true at all. I have a bunch of recurring meetings in my calendar, and each one has a Zoom link in it. If I wanted to switch to Meet, I'd have to redo each of those invites with a new link, and then hope everyone noticed the update.

If you use Google Calendar, I believe a Meet link is automatically added by default.

> They won't, so I'll spend the first few weeks individually pinging people reminding them of the new conference software, and then waiting 10 minutes for them to download, install, and configure it before joining us.

That doesn't make sense. Meet is done exclusively through the web browser.

> And then if I decide to switch back, I get to do it all over again.

What stops you from having both so you can try both? Those Zoom links aren't obsolete the moment you add a Meet link.

There are dozens of data brokers that aggregate bulk data from hundreds or thousands of different businesses, for millions of customers: hotels, online shops, credit card companies, loyalty programs, travel, supermarkets, movie theaters, all of it. In the US, probably 80-90% of the large organizations you've given your phone number to have sold your activity to a data broker.

These data brokers then provide all sorts of lookup APIs, using name+zip, or phone number, or email, et c. It's basically "user activity as a service", so that businesses that have acquired your email or phone number can know things like what ZIP you're in, how much you travel, what sort of things you spend money on, your income bracket, what kind of car you drive, et c. It allows them to better tailor their marketing communications to you (e.g. if you only fly first and stay in 5 star hotels, they probably shouldn't try to rent you a Camry on the hotel checkout page).

There are many of these companies, and API lookups are cheap and easy. Google itself has also been buying up purchase histories from many companies (including email addresses) so that they can link your email to your buying habits (as well as your shipping/delivery addresses).

Almost all of this is totally unregulated in the USA, and is for sale to anyone who wants to use it.

MAYBE regular HTML and CSS could be allowed for some authentic geocities design but no JavaScript whatsoever.

Being able to run client side code has a lot of benefits but currently it's an unholy mess that would require a complete replacement (Which means depreciating basically everything currently online) to fix and even then the mere presence of client run code has been a double edged sword for years with resource hogging pages and nasty tracking/virus scripts.
HTML5 has mitigated a lot of the need for stuff that would have previously needed JavaScript or Flash such as video so I don't think it'll be missed that badly.

"29 Apr: The death toll from the virus in the UK rises to more than 26,000 after care home deaths are included for first time"

Apart from that, luckily, we have also "all deaths" (for any reason whatsoever) statistics for participating EU countries (and, still, UK), so we can compare these too:

https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Even there Belgium has had quite high z-score ("computed on the de-trended and de-seasonalized series"), although there are two obviously worse at the peak: UK (much worse and without any indication of improving at the moment, according to the available statistics) and Spain, which already improved.

At the moment it seems to me that it was mostly the UK that just didn't report correctly, not that the others overreported.
That is just meaningless marketingspeak, and obviously wrong. Blockchains are just data, so at most "spreadsheets that can make commitments". And the latter part is also wrong, as computers are controlled by silicon logic in exactly the same way as blockchains are controlled by their code: They aren't. Someone owns the computers, and someone owns the blockchains/ their data. And if a dispute happens, that will get resolved by courts. I'm well aware of the promise of this being different with blockchains, but so far that never happened.
Why can't you edit sent messages?

Why have we accepted this reality? That's what's truly bizarre.
Most deaths in most countries are in nursing homes. Do we not care if older people die?
> Still looking for a way to make sftp/scp work fast.

Making it fast while still using it, not sure. But I can share an alternative, since a friend had the same issue and this was a literally ten times faster for a lot of small files (in the order of 30 minutes instead of 5 hours):

cd path/to/target/location
ssh user@target 'tar c /tmp/example' | tar x

Quick guide to tar, since it's super simple:

c for compress
x for extract
f for file (since we send it to stdout / read from stdin, I don't use the f option)
v for verbosity (not sure if that works on the remote side)
z for zlib compression (ssh can do compression already, so also unused here)
t for testing (reading) an archive without extracting it ("tar tv <your.tar" will show you the contents, it's almost like real TV!)

That's all I've ever needed.

So what this will do is run "tar create <directory>" on the remote system and, tar being a classic tool, it'll just output that binary archive data to stdout since you didn't specify a file ("tar cf your.tar <directory>"). On the receiving side, you pipe it to another tar command that reads from stdin (since, again, no file was specified) and extracts the files from the incoming data stream.
Why do you consider IQ to be pseudoscience? It's the bedrock of psychometrics. Just because some people use some IQ data to justify racism doesn't mean the measure is unscientific. Nazis loved nuclear physics too, it doesn't mean the field is pseudoscience.
Hey All,

I'm part of the team at Gofer - a free productivity tool to easily find and manage information from across your different apps and services.

We're looking for productivity enthusiasts who would like to receive early access and try it out :)

Gofer features many cool things, such as smart auto-tagging, allowing to intuitively slice and dice your way to a file or mail in seconds.
It's also SAFE, because it runs on the desktop, so no personal information ever leaves your computer. Only the local instance receives permission to read your data.

Its free for anyone to use (we'll be adding paid premium features in the future).

Happy to hear your thoughts!
