I'm accusing them of hiding the reason for the removal. If Google removed them from the app store due to breaking terms of service, and sent them a message saying it's been removed for breaking the "Webviews and anti-spam" policies, and Google included a screenshot of the offending part of the app, that screenshot should be included in the write-up. That way we can say "yeah, that is unfair of Google, that screen doesn't break any terms of service or should be allowed because XYZ".

Because they didn't provide the screenshot, we're left going "..damn, that sucks, this company says Google shut them off for breaking terms of use, but I can't see if that is true or not because I only have part of the information....oh well..."

They worry, because they are told to. They are told that humanity is a plague on the planet. The consequence of this (lie) is lots of hand wringing and self blame.

But there is nothing to be done about one's existence. Though surely some will have killed themselves and many have not had the families they wanted in account of this misplaced belief.
I’d take a new git with just the UX fixed. If the underlying implementation of a new VCS is also better, that’s great, but my main problem with git isn’t that it’s not sound but that the UX is a steaming pile of legacy cruft, and it’s really more an API for version control than a polished interactive app for humans.
Fair warning, please also check out JetBrains' IdeaVim plugin for modal editing. I got somewhat serious RSI from vanilla IntelliJ from using the mouse and all the ctrl/cmd modifier commands. Although I currently use emacs with boon modal editing, I'm sure JetBrains would take good care of you with their vim simulation layer. An ergo keyboard helps, too.

Winner would be Biden.

Edit: my bad. Misinterpreted your comment.

Can you elaborate on how Tor is a threat to the open internet? That's a non-obvious statement to me. I'm aware that it's compromisable via controlling exit nodes (NSA, various nations) but that's not really the threat profile for the average person. Are there any other reasons?

Because despite its flaws, afaik TOR is an attempt to make the internet _more_ open to those who are being surveiled.

What am I missing?

Mastery of UNIX, like mastery of language, offers real freedom."

The thing is, they have not anticipated all my needs. Instead they have, through the GUI, limited what I can do. Inevitably this becomes a business objective, to limit what the user does, in order to further the company's interests, instead of the user's.

If mastery of UNIX (CLI) offers real freedom, then what does mastery of Windows (GUIs) offer.

Employment perhaps. In any case, something less than real freedom.
Pijul has been dead waiting for pijul 1.0 for about a year. People were already expecting the file format to change with pijul 1.0, however I think the name change was unexpected.

Your landing page has a typo: "Be more productive by organizing your work in a fun, transparent, and unceremoniously."

I think that's intended to be: "Be more productive by organizing your work in a fun, transparent, and unceremonious way."
It's an example of "arbitrary effort wasted for a bigger slice of a fixed size pie".

An equivalent would be advertising for the US election. If all parties cut their ad budgets by a factor of 10, the result would likely be the same. Yet they all "waste" their ad budgets on yard signs simply to get a bigger share of the vote, and they have to because their competitors do too.
I thought your point made sense the first time I heard it, but it makes less and less sense the more I think about. To convince yourself think about it this way: you have two buckets, 1 person in the first one, 999 people in the second one. Should the two buckets get equal vote? Of course not right? Now how many people would you agree have to move to the other bucket to make things fair if the two buckets had equal voting power?
No but as I said, Musk's mission with Tesla was to make BEVs widely available. Tesla may never be able to make a cheap BEV but they have grown the market and driven economies of scale that allow others to make competitive BEVs.
The amount of development resources and effort needed to build publish and release the snap is a lot less than the apt. No need to interact with bzr, much easier to update in the snap store compared with repos.

Snaps are built against one version, they easily integrate into CI pipelines (unlike launchpad/bzr) and you don't need to worry about things like outdated compiler versions (for releases on 18.04/16.04/14.04).

I know because I helped with the CI builds of Firefox for snap.
I'd say you're right - they're trying to make everyone equal, not to grow further.

> Before with Thunderbird, the only packaged version of thunderbird was an extremely old version released. Even now on 18.04 the package version of thunderbird is version 68.

18.04 is a LTS release and it only contains ESR releases of Firefox and Thunderbird. Like Debian Stable.

Even Debian has Firefox 82 and Thunderbird 78 nowadays. They're intentionally kept at the unstable channel because they're updated a lot. Stable gets the ESR releases but, unstable gets the latest releases in 48 hours max.

> The version of Firefox provided by apt lags behind for security releases.

Firefox has a Debian Exception which allows Debian to merge its well-tested security patches & hardening, and still publish it as Firefox with the original version number. This causes the 24-48 hour delays unless a patch breaks something. Even if it breaks something, you get the latest version at most a week later.

I won't even argue about the harms/disadvantages of Snaps and the forcing of them upon users by Canonical...

This comment is submitted with Firefox 82.0.2-1 obtained via official Debian repositories.

Nobody is arguing that. This thread is about the marketing of plant-based diets to meat-eaters. The reasons for being vegan are well understood. They just aren't compelling to everyone. Cost is just another compelling argument.
I am not a fan of Azure (and am DEFINITELY not a fan of their RBAC/auth model), but graphing and querying one's entire set of resources is one thing they got right. One can run a Kusto query against Azure AD to obtain the same information.

While you _can_ do it with the Azure REST API (and their various SDKs that leverage it), the easiest way to do it is via `az graph query` in the Azure CLI.

Here's the link to documentation describing how to do this since it's insanely hard to find: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/resource-g...

That's a good point. Indeed, in a vacuum world it would be very much a problem that needs to be addressed. Right now however, there are ipv6 addresses in use that use the other end of the spectrum already. During the migration period it won't be a problem either. In the far future, where most traffic uses the new scheme, one can hand out temporary ranges from the traditional ipv6 assignments to high-traffic ASs.

And even if you don't do such measures, the rest of the address space won't be a "complete waste forever", one will just have to identify the implementations which have problems with these addresses and change them. It's a solvable technical task like any other.
This is helpful. Would be nice to have this be a large table with all the active states mixed together. I could just visit this page and look for changes since I last looked.

Designated areas would be awesome, as long as it was actually enforced when they smoked outside those areas.

Personally I'm a fan of the idea of those hilarious little smoking boxes that they have in some airports.

Getting off-topic, but... I'd like to get an electric car, but there's no infrastructure anywhere near my area. My coal-addicted government (Australia) is definitely not making it a priority.

Electric cars are unsuitable for lots of people currently and do have significant negatives. If the infrastructure was there, then great. But it isn't.

I wasn't actually talking about electric cars though. If suddenly a discovery was made that a catalytic converter could be made cheaply that cleans the smoke from a car completely and doesn't affect power, etc, don't you think that every single car company would adopt it immediately?
Nice looking tool. We've been using Github's projects, but aren't loving it. I'll be honest, your approach doesn't speak to me personally, but I'm willing to give it a try.

You should still be able to do this via a modern 2D engine like Godot. It comes with its built-in scripting solution that's rather Python like, but you don't have to use that; native bindings are available, and easily accessed from, e.g. C++ or Rust.

Gibraltar has plenty of tech companies for financial and gambling. Singapore is the same but I am not sure about how the tax works there.

In any event I am not saying companies will move there necessarily (it was just an example I took off the top of my head) but they will move parts of the business around to be tax efficient. I do it with my own tiny business to be tax efficient.

As I said the world is a big place and companies will just move somewhere else if they deem it to be worth the move.
San Francisco's solution to everything seems to be to just keep raising taxes, and throwing money at things which don't work. At some point you have to realize that more money isn't always the solution, you actually have to fix your beurocracy. It's insane to me that the city with so many rich people and incredibly valuable companies is such a mess, your telling me that a small city with an incredibly wealthy population can't figure out how to keep the tenderloin from being full of tents and open drug use? Or get some form of functioning public transit? Pretty pathetic.

Yes, I know. But I am not one if them. "It's less cruel" is not a compelling enough argument for me to stop eating meat. If you tell me about some vegan dishes that are good on their own I will probably start eating them sometimes and my meat consumption will go down as a side effect. I'm literally telling you how you can sell more people on the idea of plant-based diets.
So how does one "speak up" as a janitor then? I think as long as maximizing shareholder value is the dominant incentive of corporations, your job will always be at risk of being outsourced unless you have either a clear competitive advantage or a strong collective bargaining ability.

I would recognize that taxing pay ratio is a ridiculous concept because temp agencies can be used (and already are used) for lowest-wage jobs like janitors. These are not independent contractors, these are W2 employees of a temp firm.

What I would do instead is tax highly paid executives. This does not have the side-effect of making companies only use temp firms (as described above) if they need a barista or receptionist.

I don't get what value link previews add. Someone shares a link with me (on skype, slack, teams... whatever) and I care about the content because the person sharing it with me thinks I could/should care about it, or someone shares a link on an aggregator and then I don't think it is too much to ask for that someone to write a summary. If the link is worth sharing writing 1 sentence to explain why isn't too much to ask.

What is the value a link preview adds? And why should I, as a content provider care about the value you add? Cloudflare does something for me, what is your service doing for me and why should I whitelist you (or care about you)?
why? Honest question, I don't know.

I'm working with some researches on about ~40k lines of Python disease modelling code and these are the things that helped us becomes more productive:

- tests (unit, smoke, acceptance) (eg. https://mattsegal.dev/alternate-test-styles.html, https://understandlegacycode.com/approval-tests/)

- continuous integration (via GitHub actions eg: https://mattsegal.dev/pytest-on-github-actions.html)

- 10x performance improvements via cProfile (https://julien.danjou.info/guide-to-python-profiling-cprofil...)

- getting fast feedback on code changes by visualizing outputs with Streamlit (https://www.streamlit.io/)

- input parameter validation (eg. https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/, https://mattsegal.dev/cerberus-config-validation.html)

- total automation of data processing job (eg. https://www.prefect.io/ - we don't use this but that's the kind of thing we have)
Isn't there the assumption in this article that tasks will come in faster than one person can deal with them, which of course leads to an exponential/snowball effect.

To then add a second person, keeping the same input, isn't it obvious that the task latency will drop more than linearly? (Because two ppl working on tasks coming in will be able to respond in the minimal time, rather than them banking up)

Task management, nor stats, are part of my wheelhouse, so I assume I missed some glaring detail about this article?

Yea but now those developers who are stuck on 18.04 (for IT reasons) can actually run/use the latest stable userland applications without having to break from the stability provided by the older OS? How is that bad? I don't want to be stuck on version 68 of Firefox/Thunderbird just like I wouldn't want to be using Chromium from 10 versions ago.

>I won't even argue about the harms/disadvantages of Snaps and the forcing of them upon users by Canonical...

Canonical only forced one snap and that was chromium... Everything else is still maintained as an apt package if required. They put a pretty well explained reasoning as to why it was forced. Namely that it was impossible to maintain the chromium package for 14.04 and older releases because they couldn't backport the compiler. Hence the option available to them was to remove the package or keep people supported using snap.

Not to mention that Chromium is still a Universe program and not officially supported at all. They didn't want to fork over the additional maintenance overhead which I am not gonna complain about.
Tesla launches its own Tequila, premium booze with a premium price tag
Your post reminds me of a segment[0] of a Pycon keynote where Jacob Kaplan Moss talks about "real programmers". One of the anecdotes was that he was hiring programmers and he stumbled on a student who had worked on a project who told him she can't apply because she "isn't really a programmer".

>I've asked them to help me bring myself up to date on good techniques

Here's an old draft of our onboarding document[1], and a few comments here on HN about this[2].

PS: in case anyone is wondering how I found the segment in question, I use a Chrome extension called "YouTube Captions Search"[3] went to the video, activated closed captions, clicked on the extension's icon, and searched for "geographic" because I remembered that the system the student had built was a geographic information system (GIS).

> running your own mail server is the only way to ensure your email is not read by someone else

But any mail you send to someone else probably ends up read by Google/Microsoft anyway, since that's where their mailbox is.

Also, email security is a joke. It's 2020, and even TLS encrypted SMTP connections tend not to check for a valid certificate, making them trivial to MITM.
