From the following passage, I would have thought this would have been written as recently as today.

> As a lamentable side issue, there has been some unrest from the fanatics of the Pronoun Gestapo over the use of the word ``man'' in this Commandment, for they believe that great efforts and loud shouting devoted to the ritual purification of the language will somehow redound to the benefit of the downtrodden (whose real and grievous woes tendeth to get lost amidst all that thunder and fury). When preaching the gospel to the narrow of mind and short of temper, the word ``creature'' may be substituted as a suitable pseudoBiblical term free of the taint of Political Incorrectness.
Well, in general - would you use your personal email account for work?

So for example - say I have a personal Gmail account (e.g. cute-boy-88@gmail.com)

But if I was working for a company that had spun up GCP infrastructure - my work would likely provide me with a work email address (e.g. trevor.jacobs@bankofengland.co.uk) - which I would use, rather than cute-boy-88@gmail.com.

This also covers the use-case that for example, you leave the company (in which case the company still controls those accounts), or an employee goes rogue and tries to takeover their work account.

In general, you would try to keep your work/personal accounts separate - you're not going to put your personal account as the recovery email for your work account for example. Your system administrator (or IT team at work) is going to be the one who resets your password, or recovers your account - and they're not going to send private work passwords to a personal email account (or they shouldn't).

Hopefully the above helps.
Thanks for clarifying. The only part missing is being able to do this yourself instead of having to involve a third party.
No? You have a logic flaw here, you've inverted the consequent, which does not imply an inverted antecedent.
Sure, though I am describing my latest attempt in like 15 years of using Linux on and off. At some point "every OS has its problems" just stopped being true for me.

Linux really sucks for anything other than servers. I hate to say that because I badly wish it weren't true, but it is.
Do you use any tools to intentionally filter what can reach you?
The impact of the raw number of people we have now should not be overlooked, either. Today, there are more people in the United States than there were in the entire world during Roman times.

We have efficiencies of scale that they could never realize just due to our population size. Or course, we also have new problems due to that scale. We'd have a lot less to worry about in terms of wild habitat loss and CO2 emissions in a world with in a world with 20x fewer people.
The combination of "Thailand (sus)", and "bet ya a signed dollar it's true" makes it clear he was accusing the guy of pedophilia. That's way beyond just an insult.

Can the same be done for smells?
> the requirement that any publicly (taxpayer) funded road is only usable by taxpayers?

I never stated any such requirement.

What I did say was that taxpayers have a right to use public roads. That is not the same as saying anyone else is prohibited from using them. The latter is a matter of how we choose to make public policy.

Our current public policy is that anyone is, in practice, allowed to use public roads, whether they are taxpayers or not. We could choose a different, more restrictive public policy regarding non-taxpayers, but we don't. (That is probably, as I said before, because it's not worth the cost to check everyone using public roads to see their taxpayer status.)

But we cannot, at least not based on the legal principle I stated, choose a public policy that does not allow taxpayers to use public roads, since they have a right to do so.

Mostly, yes; but the folklore like (paraphrasing) "don't use Core Data for this particular purpose" is also critical and isn't as easy to come by except through bitter experience (or war stories from other developers, if you're a good listener).

There are no true shortcuts.
I visited the Ainu Museum in in Hokkaido about five years ago, and at least in that modern day setup they did not treat the bears well. There were two bears in small cages, and for 100 yen tourists could feed them "crackers" through a long metal tube. It was heartbreaking to see.
YouTube not existing is not too contrary to one of HN readers' interests. It looks to me that without centralized social media, the web will become more like the old days of decentralized self-hosted websites.

This is just bizarre. Where on earth did you get this idea from???
New York came distressingly close to capacity, but indeed didn't hit a saturation point like Madrid or Milan.

But that's, quite frankly, just dumb luck. At the rate of growth we were seeing in the early epidemic, their safety margin comes out to something like two days. The lockdown almost missed the target.

Quite frankly, a very large number of New Yorkers probably owe their lives to the other early movers in the US that enabled the NYC lockdown: Washington State was a big one. Also when the history is written, the NBA cancelling its season is probably going to be one of the biggest heroes.
Meh. Any significant interface change is going to annoy some users. It's pretty unavoidable. Unless there are actual, real, usability issues or feature reductions in the new UI, what typically happens is that after a few weeks of complaining, most people just get used to it. If your product is important enough, you can even get away with some usability issues or feature cuts—users will use your product in spite of those feature cuts.

A recent UI redesign that wasn't very well received is Google's code search redesign. Compare, e.g. the same page on the old one[0] and the new one[1]. It looks jarring at first sight if you're used to the old one, but ultimately people just need to accept it and move on.

You're totally missing the point of current public policy.

We know that sars-cov-2 is highly contagious - R0 values up above 2 without any action. This means that with no action, the entire population will be infected rapidly. Out of the entire population a certain percentage will have no symptoms. Another group will have mild symptoms. Another group will have severe symptoms. Another group will require hospitalization. Members of the last two groups will die.

The point of current public policy (at least from the POV of the people smart enough to understand and propose it) has been to decrease R0 so that it takes much longer for the entire population to become infected (which will almost certainly happen anyway unless an effective vaccine appears quickly). Why would we want to do that? Because if the entire population is rapidly infected, the numbers requiring hospitalization would vastly exceed the resources of our medical system. That means that:

1. Some of those who might have survived COVID-19 had they received effective hospital care will die.
2. People with other treatements requiring hospital care will find it difficult or impossible to receive it, leading to more deaths from non-COVID-19 causes.

None of this has anything to do with "if they get infected they will die a horrible death and so will everyone around them" - that's nothing but a silly strawman painted by people who, for some reason, want to downplay the risk of allowing a virus with R0 > 2 to plough through a population.
Who said ever, "I close webpages that don't ask me to subscribe first, out of principle"? ;-)
I mean, sound not working is pretty user hostile too. But yeah, I have come to the conclusion Linux isn't right for me. Sadly neither is Windows, and macOS is rapidly getting worse.

Do you remember when computers were fun?

Another great one is Flex 3, which allows you to sort of disassemble functions of installed apps and patch the functionality. It even has a simple community sharing/cloud aspect to find cool patches for a selected installed app.

It is absolutely a terrible use of Core Data. Raw sqlite or wrappers are fine for that and will be considerably less difficult to debug when something goes wrong.
The quote is "With great power comes great responsibility", it's from Spiderman, and it doesn't occur in any legal theory.

Yep. It gets at, what is the meaning of "faster?" Implicitly we are saying the average runtime of A is smaller than the average of B.

But if for example, B always halts in 10 seconds, and A halts in 1 second 99.99% of the time but A runs for 10 years 0.01% of the time, then A is "slower" but you'd need 10,000 trials to notice.
When tipping, I realized it's harder for me to multiply the bill (say $58) times 15% rather than times 30% / 2. In the latter case I simply do 60 * .3 / 2 which is $9. I thought about this after realizing, for example, that 18 * 5 is really 18 * 10 / 2.

Edit: just realized this is more about mental math than about back-of-the-envelope estimations
Thanks for pointing that out and linking through to a great resource!

This is why I stopped buying new iPads. These are usually used by multiple people and there’s no good reason for Apple to withhold multiuser after introducing it to the education market some years ago. With current hardware and memory, it should be easier and quicker than before to switch users.
You might be right. It's quite a while since I was working on that project, and now I'm starting to doubt how sure I am about this...
What it does mean, though, is the person who sent the email now knows, at the minimum:

1. Someone receives and reads the email sent to this email address.

2. That person is willing to enter data into a form.

This is 2 pieces of information the person didn’t have before, and it can be used in further phishing attempts in a variety of ways.

It doesn’t mean you were fooled, but that’s only half the story.
That's how it works with Windows and obviously Linux. Why would a company not want to make it as easy as possible for people to try out, develop for and test on their OS?

Freelancing and personal brand are not necessarily helping each other. You can have an amazing personal brand with zero income, or vice versa too.

However, personal branding can help in other situations, both socially and mentally.

- Definitely not linkedin. Personal web site. Not on medium, not in some random microblogging platform.

- Blog posts can work wonders. My personal web site ranks quite well on certain SEO keywords, and they generate quite good contracts. Don't focus on SEO, and don't blog unless you know you'd enjoy it.

- My own name. My business model is to work closely with the clients. Most of my clients are quite friendly, and I buffer the technical stuff from them (such as choosing the right stack, and even AWS billing sometimes), so we can establish a good level of trust.

- I suppose it depends the type of branding you want. Unless you are doing a very nice thing, focusing onna specific trait makes you stand out and gives you a leeway to set better rates.

I was freelancing for almost 10 years, and have never set foot in an office with a regular job. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. I know first hand how difficult it can be sometimes, specially when the market is saturated. Trust takes time to build, so I would say your first few clients will take a leap of faith, to which you need to do a wonderful job back.
As a skateboarder I've always found the name itself rather amusing as the term mongo has relatively negative connotations in skating.
FWIW, I find Reeder to be faster and slightly more reliable than NNW on the same hardware. I'm switching to NNW anyway because the UI is so much better. Reeder's custom UI feels fluid, but it's really easy to do things like accidentally mark lots of articles as read and then delete them from the local cache. For some things, the boring, native UI is really the best UI.

>There is certainly a false sense of security in test-only approaches.

Assuming you mean automated-tests-only, then sure. But not only are full-stack approaches to testing encouraged by TDD best practice (i.e. unit to integration to e2e/BDD), it's also still compatible with doing functional QA, and I would recommend it. So I don't think we're in disagreement here, I think moderate amounts of functional QA and TDD are both parts of a healthy testing culture. (I'm a software testing and verification enthusiast, and formal methods have not yet exceeded the utility of these practices. When and if they do, I expect them to be far superior to both in most aspects, and fully replacing TDD with something like proof-driven-development.)

Not to mention that adding tests to a codebase vs starting with TDD from the ground up tend to result in pretty different results over the same time period; the former takes a longer time to start fully reaping the benefits.
I don’t use cannabis much as an adult. But when I do, I really miss the ability to sit and smoke a big joint almost like I might smoke a cigar. When I was a teen in 90s mostly brick was available cause Texas and I’d smoke a quarter oz in a evening. Granted I have no tolerance these days.

It’s just not possible at these THC levels I see when I visit retail in legal places. I can smoke a gram or two in a evening if I’m really trying.
The removal of apps syncing and the removal of apps from iTunes have made this worse in the last few years. I get so frustrated by this often enough.

There’s a paid app called iMazing (look for sales before buying) that allows downloading apps from the App Store to a computer and also installing apps from the IPA files to the device. There may be some other paid apps too for this.
I used their online form to void charge which requires me to write justifications. I wrote a paragraph of it explaining that I didn’t authorized that charge and that I can’t even contact Rhapsody, because of bad phone number they have put in Amex system. They have checkbox that requires me to say if I ever authorized merchant in the past and if it was a subscription. I had to say yes to that checkbox because I did had their subscription like 8 years ago. They then flatly and simply refused to void those charges without giving me any reason whatsoever or letting me know how do I even avoid the future charges. I then filed appeal where I threatened to cancel the card and after yet another month of “review” they finally voided it. My card is at “Gold” level, I pay close to $200 in membership fees and I easily qualify for their Platinum level according to their frequent spam. It’s most certainly not member oriented.
Yeah no, this one is very Apple-specific. Just google "windows 10 vm image" and see what comes up. Obviously with Linux distros, getting images isn't a problem either.

I'm sure there's some dumb shit that MS does too, but Apple is completely alone in not even giving you any way to run their OS in a VM for development purposes.

The government doesn't own public property. The public does. This is a subtle point.

Now, can Wholefoods (to pick a private business) force you to wear a mask as a condition of using their store? Absolutely.

Can the government demand you use a mask on non-government owned land? No.

Can the government demand you wear a mask before entering a courthouse? Well, that becomes a whole thing and the answer is "maybe?".

The new code search takes a second to load each file. The old one does it instantly. The xref panel has almost zero contrast between the section headings and the filenames. Vertical space is wasted by a "cross references" bar that persists even when closed. For some reason the blame button is at the top but history is at the bottom. The "layers" are also missing in the new version.

I believe the carrier lock is now handled in software. The modem itself is never carrier locked and the lock is enforced at the activation step by sending the SIM details to Apple for validation, so I believe once you're jailbroken you should be able to bypass that behavior.

One thing that I just recently noticed when scrolling through some github repos is how much new software in the linux ecosystem is still written in C despite it being probably avoidable, like flatpak.

How does it compare to Little Snitch, which on the Mac asks the user to check the connection attempt and allow/disallow each one based on some patterns (domain, port, etc.)? I don’t think such a functionality is possible on non-jailbroken iOS. Charles Proxy seems to be targeted at just examining traffic, and not prompting the user for connection attempts and controlling them.

Not to be snarky, but my initial response to this was "Large project that uses language known for memory safety issues discovers that most of their security bugs stem from memory safety issues". In a more serious note, I hope this motivates the Chromium team to invest more in Rust. While the other options sound like good "in the meantime" solutions, switching to a language that, at its core, is designed to prevent these sorts of issues would be a huge benefit to society as a whole considering that Chromium is the most popular browser engine in the world.
