I'm the same! Or to search for reviews of some obscure gear of one of my hobbies, find recommendations on specific tastes in literature/movies, discover similar art to some artist.

Whatever needs some human knowledge and thought I add a `site:reddit.com` to my search and try to gauge from there.

Product reviews are also much more trustworthy (and sometimes more in-depth) from a collection of reddit posts than anywhere else on the internet.
That's a possibility, too, but the email specifically mentioned pornographic content or extensions that might "drive traffic" to pornographic sites so that seemed like the more likely reason.
It's a very milder one but yes.

These images (the ones in OP aren't that bad, but some in /r/shittyHDR [1] definitely) do make me uncomfortable in a way similar to these "Deep Dream" images.

IMO a password manager is an extremely critical piece of software that I'm ok with if I trust its security model.
There are a couple whose security models I do trust. However, merging those security models with random extensions that may or may not have full run of all code executing in the same context as my password manager is a hard no. It's baffling to me that any legit password managers go to the trouble to write and support browser extensions, given the risk. It's betting your reputation for security on a very small amount of user convenience.

Or… use a smaller registrar which actually charges more in order to provide support which you can contact personally. Most (if not all) large registrars are indeed in a “race to the bottom”, but that does not mean that all registrars are.

(Disclaimer: I work at such a small registrar. No, I’m not going to tell you which one; we aren’t targeting the global market, anyway, only our local area.)

I won't be using Deno. For starters, I like javascript, not typescript, and I think Ryan was considering the idea of making Deno TypeScript only at one time. That is enough for me to never consider it alone.

I think it falls into the same category as Koa (TJs successor to Express) and the upcoming "Rome" project. Someone creates a successful open-source project and then at some point in the future decides to make a better one with questionable tangible benefit and various downsides of its own.

The downsides I can see of Deno so far are that it is slower than node, it is not compatible with any server-side node code because it has rewritten the standard library, and it is inspired and based on the Go standard library, seemingly using Go idioms and so on.

Its benefits are questionable, vague, and not really proven.
Same here. Raising kids, cooking, cleaning and working is more than enough.

After two months (Spain) we now have the right to go for a walk every day with the kids. This has improved things.

During the hard lockdown (no right to go outside with kids) I had very bad days (stress, anxiety, etc.), which affected my kids (they became angry aggressive, something that I had never seen in them) and with help from a psychologist I learned to calm myself down and now things are fine again.

I guess that my side project has been to learn about my own psychology and how it affects my family, and to learn to deal with all that.

I have grown a lot as a person!

extremely partisan Wisconsin court has now struck down that law in a blatant act of judicial activism

"Extreme partisanship" is more evident in your complaint about a "striking down" that didn't happen of a "law" that doesn't exist. The Court upheld existing law and struck down executive actions that violated it.

By the way, Supreme Court justices here in Wisconsin are elected on statewide ballots, not nominated for life like Federal judges. Your basis for calling them "extremely partisan" is, what, exactly?
In my experience as a researcher in computational numerics, the “standard library” is going to be defined by the in-house code that I use. That code is going to use other scientific libraries like for example PETSc, Atlas/blas/mkl, MPI in the background, but the typically researcher isn’t going to be exposed to that because their focus is on setting up the equation Ax = b and writing the algorithm to solve it for x.

Others can answer your actual question, as my personal getting-hired experience predates open source.

I have however hired many people over the years, so I will comment from that point of view.

The key word in your question is Help. just having done some open source isn't some sort of magic bullet. But it does open the door to discussing what you did, how it helped you, what you learned and so on.

In other words it supplements your "experience" factor. Especially for folk starting out it's an obvious solution to the "but how do I get experience if everyone only hires experience?" question.

Put another way, given unemployment you can either do nothing, or find a way to add value to something for free.

When it comes to hiring - for a small shop - the willingness to add real value, and the demonstrated ability to do so, goes a long way to getting hired.

But it's only one of several factors, not the only factor.

Correct about Sweden. We can compare Sweden to Switzerland (8.5 million vs 10 mil pop in Sweden). Switz has 1870 deaths, Sweden 3460. Sweden is far worse per capita than it's small northern euro neighbors too (actually deaths per million, Sweden, then Norway, Finland, Denmark are (343) and (42, 51, 92). IHME [1] estimates Sweden will have 5760 deaths, Switz 1935. Correcting for relative populations (10/8.5) Switz's 1935 * 10/8.5 = 2275 roughly expected.

I'm not sure why people have seized on Sweden as doing it right, but they will kill about 3.5k extra people compared to Switz (excess deaths). Compared to their northern neighbors they about 8x worse.

Yet every time a new SDK comes out of mountain view it still is mostly about C++, Java and Python as tier 1 support, and only occasionally with either Go or Dart support.

Also apparently having Go on Fuschia is not well seen and it will eventually be replaced by a C++17 or Rust implementation.

Is there any other restriction/benefit in containers? I use the 'first party isolate' config option, and never really need e.g. different accounts logged in to same site, so as far as I'm aware there's no point?

I recently switched from an unmaintained tabs sidebar to 'Sidebery' which is quite nice in an 'overriding UI like it's made by Adobe' sort of way, which has got me using trees, and even tried containers (since unlike previous one it supports changing them and shows a coloured dot for which a tab is in) but I don't think it's gaining me anything.
Sounds like we might need to go back to the kind of mainframe architecture that has IO offload. Split the PCIe bus into NUMA-like zones; give each zone its own (probably ARM) CPU, running its own kernel; then use "application processors" (probably x86) to command-and-control the IO zones, allocating e.g. IOMMU-subvirtualized ethernet channels to them. Control plane/data plane separation.

I just wish the OSes would alt-tab through all tabs in all apps instead of just top level windows. Yes, other forms of tab organization might be useful but my productivity would go up more if I could more easily swap between the last 2-8 things I did in a consistent way.

As it is sometimes alt tab works, some times it doesn't. It all depends on what the last few things I did were and is therefore infuriatingly inconsistent.

I tried "Witch" on MacOS to fix this but it's got its own set of issues since it's having to hack around to do its job.
If you want to use Chrome(ium), but also have modern features and privacy focus, just use Vivaldi.
There's still plenty of programs where you'd want to spawn a thread that basically doesn't touch any of the data of the parent thread. It'd be nice if there was a way around the GIL for those cases.

As an example take the multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool.map function. Most of the use-cases of that function only read from the parent threads memory once to pass the function arguments. After that the thread may very well spend a lot of time only reading memory it reserved itself. It's rather wasteful to have that thread wait on the GIL.

Of course I haven't got an obvious solution either but it seems to me that for at least a subset of the uses of threading you could work around the GIL without breaking python too badly.

Perhaps split the GIL into a per-thread Thread-interpreter-lock. That way each object can simply be annotated with which lock it belongs to. That way you still get proper atomicity like you're used to in python, but a thread might also actually run concurrently a lot of the time if it only touches objects it created itself.
> I thought a lot about it, and it seems as secure as node_modules, because anybody can publish to npm anyway

npm installs aren't the same as installing from a random URL, because:

* NPM (the org) guarantees that published versions of packages are immutable, and will never change in future. This is definitely not true for a random URL.

* NPM (the tool) stores a hash of the package in your package-lock.json, and installing via `npm ci` (which enforces the lockfile and never updates it in any case) guarantees that the package you get matches that hash.

Downloading from a random URL can return anything, at the whims of the owner, or anybody else who can successfully mitm your traffic. Installing a package via npm is the same only the very first time you ever install it. Once you've done that, and you're happy that the version you're using is safe, you have clear guarantees on future behaviour.

One day there was a post there about free 5 bucks for some PlayStation stuff. The post received 30k comments. Thats all you need to know about the reddit audience.

What would improve the content quality is a requirement to maintain membership by answering a complex enough question once a month. Questions could be prepared by mods. But then all the reddit audience would be gone, and with them the reddit's power to influence the lazy internet crowd.
For me, reddit's use is both the case for product reviews and finding collections of good beginner-intermediate level information for some hobbies.

The sidebar wikis of hobbyist communities is packed full of good content, curated over years by the community so usually it's a very good "starter pack" knowledge to save time on your own research.

Geopolitics has really degenerated. It is now dominated by users that post unending barrages of unrealistic, low-quality "fall of China" articles.

Incidentally, I was banned for saying that China would end up with less deaths due to the coronavirus than the US, as a result of their stricter interventions, which turned out to be true. The moderators of that subreddits decided that it was such an egregiously incorrect point-of-view that it had to be deleted, and the poster banned.

So no, r/geopolitics isn't really good anymore. It was interesting a few months to years back, though. But now it's mostly biased, moralistic and americentric takes with artificially limited debate, with such scathing and interesting discussion as "Western culture is the best culture, and that's why the US will be an eternal empire", or "China will be sublimated by the US just like the US beat Japan". This is a stark contrast to the more realpolitik, realist discourse of yesteryear. Non-China related threads are better, though.

I installed Blender and started learning to do simple 3D modelling. Really satisfying to get things right, and also frustrating in an almost funny way, it feels like when I started out programming "I just wanna put a button here, how hard can it be!?!?".

A plus side these days is that it takes enormous amounts of time. For people interested in starting out: My 2019 13" MBP is fast enough for it to be fun, at least for now. So you don't need to worry too much about GPU performance.
I just did not see any indication of the permission actually being abused by this specific extension, hence the hypothetical. That's not meant to dismiss that it is an issue but in this specific case I think the communication is worse than the potential problem given that the devs don't seem to have a negative track record and actively work on mitigating it.

As for the redundancy, I blame my lack of coffee for that, apologies.
I agree regarding being exposed to new ideas, but turning on "show dead" has given me some doubt. Plenty of regular comments get flagged and killed, e.g. this [1] comment that I vouched for.

I launched it a month ago. It's a tool that converts your un-used domains into something useful.

By something useful, I mean a self-running automated content aggregator with lots of bells and whistles to keep it running (e.g. membership, newsletters, ads).

I had way too many domain names that are not being used. I wanted to make some use of them without having to maintain them and spending time on it. Now I have all of my 25 un-used domains.

That's why on certain subreddits you just sort threads and replies by controversial. This will give you the opposite point of view. Or not so opposite, because sorting by controversial on /r/politics will often give you pro-Biden threads rather than pro-Trump threads, because the mainstream hivemind is overwhelmingly pro-Bernie.
Not really, because malicious actors don't care about their reputations, accounts, etc.

A reputable developer has a reputation to maintain (by definition), which makes Google's threat to permaban them a threat indeed.

A disreputable developer doesn't care about their reputation (again, by definition). They can create a new throwaway account every day and apply using the same (or slightly, easily, altered) code with different permissions every hour until they get permabanned, and start again tomorrow.

So the "obscurity" can be discovered easily through experimentation by the bad guys, but is still obscure for the good guys. This is not a good outcome.
Even more given how much of a hassle it is moderating any kind of online community. I had to deal with smaller ones and would never do that job for free again...
Why can't you download all the packages you use actually with your source code? That's how software has been built for decades...

I'm a desktop developer so I understand I'm the dinosaur in the room but I've never understood why you would not cache all the component packages next to your own source code.

Since this is straighforward to do I presume there is some tradeoff I've not thought about. Is it security? Do you want to get the latest packages automatically? But isn't that a security risk as well, as not all changes are improvements?
That's exactly how it is with me. Also it is often more convenient to open a new tab and search again for something then to find it in one of already opened tabs.

It would be perfect if beside Google search results the browser would show tab results (with full FTS) and history results. I would prefer to have it there instead of search bar's completion.

Then if tabs would really be just history of opened tabs the browser could do some LRU GC.
I used to implement ERP systems. I don't anymore.

SAP released new IFRS tax compliance features last year to match the latest government regulations; they then gave this is over 4000 customers for free. It cost SAP around 1.2 million EURO to build, test and roll out. Are you saying that those 4000 customers (companies) should have just built their own tax compliance finance systems? That would have cost 4000 * 1.2 million which would be a total economic spend of four billion eight hundred million... how about you put your ego on the shelf and listen to other people?

You're advocating building massive software applications over using what's already available and you're advocating that all companies do this... you completely ignored my argument and you have no idea what you're talking about.

That cultural chicken is still a massive net win; I'd still much rather live in America and get coronavirus rather than live in China and get black-bagged someday because of my refusal to take authorities seriously.

Pretty much no crisis since the founding of America has "these people have too much personal independence and power" been more of a problem than part of the solution. Indeed, most of the times independence was diagnosed as a problem the solution was worse than the disease. The government-coordinated response to 9/11 remains substantially more damaging than any other aspect of that fiasco.
