Every time, a few months before product release, downstream teams start filing bugs on us that boil down to the statement: "please continue to add features, but stop adding bugs".

Oh, sweet summer child: features are bugs.
There are numerous reasons, but the most important one is that American tech firms are better-capitalized than European tech firms.

Europe has the individual talent, but their capital markets tend to be sclerotic and risk-averse, and in the case of certain countries, protectionist as well.

As always: if I do everything in accordance with the way Cloudflare says, and my company suffers a loss due to Cloudflare screwing up, to what extent is Cloudflare liable?

The usual answer is "for a month of what you paid them, or maybe a year, but certainly not anything more". This situation is not unique to Cloudflare.
>if you want to keep it up with the upstream changes.

I don't understand what you mean here. It's my interpretation that keeping up with upstream is what was meant by answering to the community. It seems that the GP post was not concerned with this or with following the footsteps of Android. It certainly seems within Microsoft's means to deploy a custom kernel on Azure and then only periodically merge with upstream (I believe they are already doing this anyway).
> How are smartphones and tablets different from laptops and regular phones in this regard?

Smartphone location tracking data is extremely high-dimensional and sensitive. It is capable of revealing a lot of things which you might not even want to tell to your family. I think for a company such as Google, getting a list of CEOS in e.g. The Netherlands which visit psychotherapists, or occasionally spend the night at the home of their secretary when their wife is on business travel, is little more than an elaborate database query.
7 year Koh Phangan resident here.

Like the rest of us. From march to June the whole island just stayed at home in volunteer self-quarantine. Because of that Corona never arrived here and life is sort of returned to normal. Of course, no new people arrives, because the borders to Thailand are still closed, so it starts to be pretty empty with people on this island and most people are struggling.

For many months all beaches was closed so they have not been able to get into the water.
What are you suggesting? That we ban/restrict the use/ownership of 3d printers? A 3d printer is just some motors and a extruder on a set of rails, so I'd imagine it's not too hard to make your own. At that point you're back to square one.
I feel like CRTs today belong to the same nostalgic area as cast iron skillets, vinyl players and manual gearbox cars. Sure, they are good for certain things, and they excel in some of them, but really they are usually way to much hassle to use and acquire, and need too much sacrifices in other areas in which they don't excel.
Articles which compare such products usually completely ignore or outright forgive any disadvantages for "nostalgic" product, something which they wouldn't even think of doing for product created in 2020, instead of several decades ago.
But do note that it is not actually effective at all. Because of lack of border checks, you can purchase a trunk full of ammunition from a backyard dealer in the balkans, and then drive right to Switzerland.

Lack of gun-related crime is more caused by the law enforcement being very enthusiastic and effective about solving such crime, than it is caused by a lack of guns oe ammunition.
> someone else comes and says it's always worked fine for him. I'm not saying you are lying, but you are probably in a minority.

Here's my "secret," if it helps. I buy laptops with Linux pre-installed from a supported vendor, I run Ubuntu LTS in the default configuration, and I only customize a tiny number of things. This has worked pretty well for me for over a decade. (Before that, I had more issues.)

I don't feel like installing Linux onto random Windows laptops is a good use of my time. Similarly, if I were to choose some unusual distro or desktop environment, that would usually mean more hassle. So I don't.

> Also, having two screens with different scaling was completely unsupported, unlike on Windows.

Yup, that's the biggest limitation I've seen. That's one reason I ended up giving away my ancient external monitor and getting a new 4k. That way I can use the same scaling on the internal and external monitor.

And if I'm going to make a major hardware purchase, I usually Google to see if it works with Linux. This matters mostly for things like drawing tablets.

Which I would love to pay as a consumer Win 7 Pro user but unfortunately MSFT is not interested in that.

Win10 -- which I also own -- has horrible UI and takes the simplicity + familiarity out of Windows, and I just don't want to move any active work to it.
Especially considering that none of that really matters on windows anymore. It doesn't care about line endings or path separators.
The Windows 2000 / ME debacle appeared to be the breaking point when Microsoft realized they needed to adopt a more Apple-like approach to evolving the platform.

Perfect backwards compatibility means a perfect inability to fix any mistakes of the past.

With UAC and WDM -> WDF, they finally established an intent to deprecate older (and insecure / poorly-designed) functionality.

That said, imho, the user-mode / UI/X compatibility is an absolute !*&$ show with respect to predictability. Especially in the "utility program -> app" transition, wherein the latter still aren't feature-complete. Whoever PMs over those teams should be fired.

I mean, there's a whole lot of people in this thread saying that Windows scaling works perfectly for them when it definitely doesn't for me (use Windows-arrow to move browser window from a 4k to a 2k monitor and back again a few times, it'll eventually change shape and size).

Just like reporting Ubuntu bugs feels like shouting into the void, what are your chances as an end user of MS quickly fixing a bug you find?

> People respond like that because they genuinely have been using Linux desktops for decades, and have been perfectly productive using them for work and play. And then someone posts something like 'I tried installing Ubuntu but thing X didn't work, how can anyone do real work on this joke operating system? I stopped using it immediately' and they just want to provide a different perspective.

...because they have entangled their identity with their OS of choice such that they interpret "I had a problem with this and therefore don't use it" as some kind of personal attack. This is not only unhelpful, but an actively repellent behavior.

> Personally I bought a Windows laptop a few years ago and had to stop using the OS because both sleep and the Intel wifi drivers simply didn't work. Yet if I tried to use that experience to proclaim that that Windows was a non-functional, useless operating system developed by people who don't give a damn, I would not be taken seriously.

Case in point, who is saying Linux is useless? Useless for their particular use case or workflow, sure. Even people who like Windows generally, like myself, say the developers don't give a damn (see some of my other posts on the subject). Fact is, a lot of use would love to be using an OSS system, but the community actively fights us when we have issues with their stuff and their echo chamber of "our way is the best way!" remains unbreached, so our use cases and workflows are never accommodated and we, consequently, can't use it. This has been going on for about 20 years now. It's pretty damned tiring.

> By the way have you considered what reporting bugs like this for Windows is like?

I work supporting Windows systems, so I know how useless Microsoft support is. You know what I don't get when I talk about a Windows issue with other Windows admins though? "Well it works fine here..."

> Talking to real driver and OS developers directly on Linux bug reports is magical in comparison.

Sure, if they listen, which they often don't. Spend some time in Ubuntu's issue tracker if you don't believe me.

The page

https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/...

2) Not reproducible: When I choose a language (like JavaScript) the dropdown list is blank for that item. I expect it is just that the text color is the same as the background, actually)

As time goes by and this tech improves, restricting guns to a given level will require increasingly invasive regulation. Where once you could accomplish it by regulating manufacturers and dealers and imports, now you have to restrict 3D printers and common items from the hardware store. As 3D printers become common household items, the same level of gun control will require detailed mass surveillance and/or restrictions on common items like pipe and scrap steel.

This may mean that gun control simply fails in non-authoritarian countries, and they either go authoritarian or increasing live without effective controls on guns. As a gun culture the U.S. may be better prepared for this transition.
A gun is just a tube and a pin.

In theory, according to MS. In reality we all have seen old applications die when windows updates. Security-related applications are notorious for this. What once worked perfectly well with Win8 now goes into total panic mode when it sees Win10 doing its thing in unexpected ways.
GruCloud: Infrastructure as JavaScript Code
The question here, in my opinion, is whether we're looking at actual causation or simple correlation.

Is this an example of, "receiving free coyote-colored tacticool gear and MRAPs prompts cops to become more aggressive, detached from the population they are ostensibly there to protect, and likely to unnecessarily end civilian lives in the course of doing their job"?

Or is it an example of, "police departments with toxic cultures -- e.g., power-tripping, roided-out hardos with motarded haircuts who treat black people like shit and maintain a blue wall of silence -- are more likely to jump through the hoops necessary to get the military surplus gear, and as a result, departments who have embraced the 1033 program generally do more bad cop shit"?

Or is it both, or is it something else?
Stop downvoting because you disagree with someone else's opinion
Downvoting and flagging on this site is reaching ridiculous levels of childishness.

Downvote is not a tool to use if you disagree. Just because you disagree with someone's opinion or viewpoint, doesn't mean you should downvote them to oblivion. What's the point? Honestly it only shows that some people have very sensitive constitutions.

Downvote is the article/reply is factually incorrect, ok, but just downvoting out of disagreement....I don't get it.

Downvoting out of disagreement is a childish and immature reaction to something that goes against your worldview. Grow-up people.

This issue is rampant on this site.

People use GMT because it's an unchanging timezone that's good for world-wide coordination. That it differs by fractional seconds from UTC is irrelevant in most cases.

Man loses 200 times at crane game, calls police to investigate
Everyone arrested is innocent. You seem to forget that.

Maybe you just don't have much experience, or don't realize the vague descriptions police will use to bring folks in. Systematic racism makes this more likely if you aren't white. Systematic racism is a big issue.

You can be arrested for being homeless or stealing food if you are starving (not everywhere has available shelters nor food pantries to go to, nor do shelters provide safe places for a family). I don't think this is being deviant. They'll sure charge you bail, though. And again, sometimes it is just a mistake. Live in a legal state and forget to take those joints out of the care before going to an illegal state? Well, now you have a drug charge. You can't teach nor be a pharmacist now.

People get arrested for "drugs" that aren't all the time (leaves, candy, etc), but I'm guessing you haven't spent much time around the sort of person that gets stopped for this sort of thing (generally, just young and alternative-looking with a crappier-than-average car). Some of them go to jail waiting on the stuff to be tested.

Your experience isn't broad enough. Just because you haven't seen these things in your corner of the world doesn't mean it is false.

When I saw the title, I thought maybe this could be a cheaper bundled offering for individuals (and cheap users like me). Then I read the description and see it’s a corporate solution. The recent announcement about analytics and about speeding up WordPress sites seemed interesting, but they’re out of my budget (yes, indeed). If there were some sort of bundle at a lower price for individuals running a handful of personal sites, that’d be quite interesting to me.

Off topic: I posted an off topic comment on one such announcement a few months ago asking why new domain registrations were still not open (only transfers are allowed), and got a reply about squatters being a problem, which I didn’t really understand because that could be the case even with domain transfers (in my understanding).

Unless you have half a dozen commits from 2 hours ago, which is pretty common in active repositories.

The experience of finding solutions to Windows problems, which is in fact a significant portion of my day job, is vastly superior regardless of the fact that opening issues with Microsoft support is useless. For one, things generally aren't radically overhauled ever 2 years making all previous documentation on a subject obsolete. For two, when you talk with other Windows admins about a problem you're having, you don't get "well it works for me" presented as though it is somehow helpful.
