This is a disgusting, harmful take. You should really step back and rethink your assumptions here. Git is a tool that’s meant to make things easier. It’s complex enough, though, that it’s a stumbling block for a lot of folks for a workflow that really shouldn’t be so complicated.

If you intuitively grok how git works, that’s great. I’m going to guess you probably don’t really use it in any challenging or new situations and are just comfortable with your particular workflow. But maybe you do have that mastery level over this one tool in your code management system.

But guess what, other folks, true genius folks, either can’t or don’t have the mental bandwidth to learn every nook and cranny of this tool. If you don’t recognize that, you are willfully dismissing a lot of really smart people because their brains don’t work the same way yours does. But when you do that you are weakening yourself and your own capabilities.

So step back and re-assess your take here. It’s wrong, and it’s toxic to your own outlook as well as those around you.

Errr, is there some example I can compile both into a Desktop app as well as Android app easily? I never got why we never got convergent Java apps that run everywhere... It's seemingly almost easier to do that with Qt than with Java

If I could get an example written in Clojure that'd be even cooler :)

QuickBasic could load external libraries (potentially written in C or Assembly), but there was no inline assembly - just CALL ABSOLUTE on binary blobs as with QBasic 1.1.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think things that are required for the functioning of the program/device/service are exempt
I've found it indispensable when tracking and integrating other peoples' branches. I wouldn't use it so much if I was working solo.
Seamlessly, but with a heavy performance impact. In my experience it's not really usable in anything other than running specific single tests, or some short demos.
Same experience. It's so easy to bring in and to use it's incredible.

I always describe it as "bash on steroid", it's super easy to write and to run remotely on other servers.
You'll potentially need to use merge if you're collaborating with others on feature branches.
>"Some of the high level goals of the project:

Elastic control-plane"

I would be interested in hearing more how this works. Is there something like the Cluster Autoscaler and an HPA that scales up control plane pod and nodes?

I'm curious if the author(s) considered leveraging Hyperkube for this project and why or why not if so.

This looks interesting so far though.
Obviously any company can turn evil at any time. Right now though Apple is doing a commendable job of bending the arc of technology towards privacy. They're by no means perfect, but they're better than most other large tech companies and they're getting better over time.

The current implementation of "IDFA" was an improvement on what came before it (unfettered raw access to the hardware UDID) and Apple have already announced that consumers will be actively prompted to approve IDFA usage in the near future.

I do worry that if collectively we act like nothing but absolute perfection can ever satify us, perhaps companies will feel no incentive to make progressive improvements to privacy.
I have to disagree. Got is as hard and complicated as you want it to be.
For the most common usage (commit, push, pull, checkout) it's very, very simple and easy to grasp.
This is like saying "computers are too hard".

Yeah, the whole of the bottom of the post strikes me as off base.

I think the author is trying to get to a wonderful future but their heading in totally the wrong direction.
When I wanted to write application, I used Swing and I didn’t find it horrible. Quite the opposite. I didn’t care about the looks, though, it was not a major concern. That was before Java 8. I could imagine that writing callbacks would be even easier with lambdas.

When people don’t laugh at Electron applications, I don’t know what could be wrong with Swing. Nobody cares about native toolkits anymore (what is native toolkit for Windows or Linux?).
> I fully agree that the default porcelain has poor UX for managing the staging area, but doesn’t a porcelain without it encourage overly large commits?

No, I'd say the opposite. The staging area encourages me to think that I can make my change and split it up into logical commits afterwards, even though I know I'll actually just give up and make it a big commit. When I didn't know about the staging area and just committed whenever I could, I produced better, smaller commits.
As my fellow responder indicted, iOS14 was indeed released in September and I came here to comment on this extremely odd and incorrect statement myself. As the OP states, Apple merely postponed the IDFA functionality.

I cannot prove it, but this whole piece reeks of being algorithmically generated, and I do believe that this factual error is proof of that. Any human journalist operating in the field of technology would be well aware that iOS14 has already been released and would have phrased accordingly; I think that what we’re seeing here is some algorithmic synthesis of background facts (one of which was apparently source of confusion, because of references to iOS14 and postponement, not of the whole OS but of a relevant portion thereof).
This is a case of 'BUREAUCRATS STIFLING INNOVATION' and this is how it often looks like. He could have gone through legal channels to approve his app and would not be able to find approvals even after being able to afford those financially.

Fair access is not provided by the official website. When one clicks "Book" and then suddenly get an Internal Server Error in network logs (while UI shows in-progress icon) or gets logged out - where is Fair Access? If Railways gave 10 Rs for each such failure, they will go bankrupt within 2 hours. First-come-first-serve does not mean fair access when they can't fix their technical problems.

And this guy charged money only after the cost of the servers was high. To give a context the alleged amount between 2016 and 2020 he earned in 4 years is in the range of 27k-30kUSD. That is as per Railways. It is likely to be inflated. Pretty sure he was running into losses.

However I doubt he is totally innocent. Most developers would know this app would be illegal. Or may be he is just too naive - hard to say that since he is an IITian. The railways will probably find out each ticket booked, heavily penalize each such booking, add huge interest to that till date and make the total amount sound like a huge scam. Adventures with Indian bureaucracy will cost him big unless he manages to heavily PR himself as a victim.

>The swiss people basically voted to approve censorship with that one.

Absolutely!! And the politicians said: But to all the young peoples..don't fear that's the only thing we do, it's to prevent excessive/addicted gaming.

And funny enough, now we have 10x more advertisements for online-casinos but Swiss based (probably we should talking about that addictive thing again? And maybe micro-transactions in Games too?)
I have been using HTTPS Everywhere since forever. Here are the permissions required:

* Access browser tabs

* Access browser activity during navigation

* Access your data for all websites

So can be pretty devastating if it went rogue, which I doubt.
> I want my OS to do DNS - including DOH, not my browser.

The cat is out the bag, so to speak. I foresee a lot of adware, spyware, and malware leveraging DoH now to evade just about every DNS-based monitoring/blocking/provisioning solutions.

Anyway, the right layer to monitor for Internet traffic has always been the IP layer (VPNs notwithstanding).
It's amazing that part of their advertising is that they are offering the ability to hire people for transcription of text to audio for even less than competing services. Why... would anyone work for them when they could work for other services that pay 10x more?
A lot of people don't truly understand operating systems and yet they manage to use Windows.

You are setting a very low bar.
> “The use of the internet now in Solomon Islands needs to be properly regulated to safeguard our young people from harmful content … even young kids are able to download harmful stuff from the internet.”

Where have I heard that before?

It is particularly disingenuous to use the existence of "harmful stuff from the internet" as a reason to block access to only Facebook, one of the most regulated and restrictive platforms on the web.
I worked in an open bureau back in 2001.
One guy would watch a funny video and the whole bureau would go to his computer to watch it.
I found that very annoying, I'm here to work and solve (hard) problems, not watch videos.
Because I was unemployed for a long time before that and was happy to work and do something productive. Instead..they watch videos.
I also can't stand inner company politics. If I never have to talk to my colleagues it's the best.
When I joined that company there was one guy who said, "we're all freaks here, what kind of freak are you".
I never saw myself as a freak.
The company imploded in the new economy bubble because management thought that spending 250k on Reamon (the singer) was a good investment. Then they didn't have enough money to pay their developers that were by 9/10 from Russia or Romania, imported. We sued and never saw our money. The product was sold to T-Online (Deutsche Telekom) as the TOM (T-Online Messenger) and the CEO fled to Switzerland with the money he made from the sale. We didn't see 1 cent.
What's also interesting, on paper the chiefs like the CTO and the head recruiter earned 20fold of what the code monkeys earned.
It was also a family business and they called themself a company that was noted on the stock exchange but in reality wasn't registered there.
The brother of a, at that time prominent TV moderator was an investor in that company.
You don't have a symmetrical relationship with the government. Do you ask the IRS every year "can you please send me 25% of all the money you collected this year? If not, why ask me to give up mine?"

I'm in favour of strong privacy protections, but this argument isn't one I find convincing.

Well, in theory, chef is great.

You can unit test your configuration (which in ansible isn't really practical due to its dynamic nature). You can get completion in your editor...

In practice, though, you write a lot more code and have to comprehend more.
Also have a look at community cookbooks, most stuff is very old.

I think chef have totally killed their community by doing that stupid EULA move.

Financial Fraud in the US is not because we lack a national database, the US is a federalist society and I will resist any action to undo that federalism

Financial Fraud in the US is directly because of 2 things, first and foremost the backdoor use of SocSec as a national ID, something ti was never intended to be, and it not suited for.

This is largely due to taxation, and the IRS being lazy by adopting a persons SocSec number as their Tax identification number as well. Once that happened, every one jumped on board

The second fact is treating Financial Fraud as ID Theft, no one steals a persons ID, If someone fraudulently represents themselves to a bank as me and the bank falls for that well that should be on the bank, it should not be on me to prove my "identity was stolen", this reversal of liability is what prevent the problem of Financial Fraud from being fixed
You can use grammarinator or any other of myriad grammar fuzzers BUT I'd start with radamsa and its string-related flags. Radamsa is _awesome_, you run it on an input and you get mutated output. Works both for binary files and text fles (such as grammars).
Under that analogy, pretty much all cracking is fair game.

Reselling credit card numbers you pilferred from a poorly secured website's database? You just helped your customers access information that was basically already publically available.
You don't need your cat pictures encrypted per se, but you do want to ensure that your Webportal cannot MITM your communications with catpictures.com and inject malicious javascript into the webpage.
I was oversimplifying my limited understanding. What I belive should be true is that you are connecting to a server that:

1. managed to obtain a valid certificate from some recognized autority

2. managed to steal a valid certificate for the domain in question from another server

3. managed to convince enough DNS resolvers to point to their IP for a given domain (so to get your traffic and/or pass LE challenges)

and/or other conditions. From an operational perspective it says very little, especially considering the third case where any public wifi network has in most cases total initial control over your DNS traffic.
How is the performance with larger clusters? We have clusters with 20,000 to 40,000 containers. We have had to use things like Thanos and InfluxDB to get prometheus/grafana to work ok.

Does this thing scale well?

The problem is that too many people have a world view wherein government can do no wrong or never does enough wrong to matter. That world view (or massive amounts of cognitive dissonance) is a necessary prerequisite for being willing to tolerate this kind of government invasion or privacy.

Making these people uncomfortable with giving the government all that info will just move them from the naive camp to the cognitive dissonance camp. Other than actually experiencing significant government abuse I don't think anything will change these people's minds. Political ideology is like a religion these days.
Can you link to a description of "the leftpad disaster"?

Also - it's not supposed to be "tons of random stuff", it's supposed to be the libraries you're relying on. Maybe I'm missing something in the point you're making?
That kind of "pull the ladder up behind you" strategy would be a natural thing for today dominants players to try. They benefited from an open playing field, but now they no longer need it. If they succeed, they have established a massive moat to stave off competition. If they manage to get it into standards and legislation, then undoing it would require a tectonic shift.
Google is especially well positioned for this - Chrome, Google Search, Android and Youtube being potentially very effective places to do DRM media gatekeeping. "don't be evil" had to go from their mission statement. Maybe "universally accessible" will be next...
Except that most modern languages are multiple paradigm, again it reflects more lack of effort into learning best practices than anything else.

Quote of my coworker about why he doesn’t want to vote yes on a referendum to overturn a law that expands our intelligence agencies rights for surveillance with oversight from a single judge and no transparency and accountability: „As long as they catch at least one of these assholes, I don‘t care about me being surveilled. You will understand this when you become a father.“

This opened my eyes most people have an irrational fear and think that these capabilities won‘t be abused. At the same time our state abused their surveillance capabilities during the cold war and gathered data on almost a million people. But people seem to have forgotten already.

I‘m talking about Switzerland if you are wondering what which of authoritarian regime I‘m talking about.
Added checkout. I'm not sure about classifying 'git reset' as an 'everyday' command.
You start by accusing him of using a strawman, then using an analogy which doesn't even remotely apply. It's closer to your neighbour selling you the rights to park in their garden, then you selling those rights to someone else. Far from a criminal, arrestable offence, so their point on the broad-brush of being "illegal" stands.

Even my closer analogy is still pretty far off and it's much more innocent. Maybe closer to charging a fee to use a very tricky to figure out parking meter.
A lot of these "awesome" lists are maybe reasonably OK on first-publish, but ultimately become useless due to:

1. Lack of curation (focus on including everything rather than being opinionated)

2. Lack of updates (tools get out of date fast, especially in long lists that try and include everything).

However, THIS list is different. This list is BAD on first publish. Most of the categories are not even remotely security related ("Project Management") or at least not explicitly so ("Supply Chain Management" / "Docker UI" / "Configuration Management"). Yeah sure, some of the latter will be useful for blue teams, but noone on any blue team is going to be searching for those tools under the keyword "security".

Beyond the above, things get worse: the formatting is hopeless, many of the tools are not open-source at all, and while including a lot of irrelevant non-security-related stuff, it omits many obvious well-known security tools.

Flagged for marketing this as "Open source"
Ya, I'm the opposite, I never use rebase. Horses for courses...
A quick google on this topic leads me to this ad-tech company: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003135607-Tr...

I do not know this company, Amplitude, and never consciously gave them permission to use my Apple IDFA or combine it with my browser cookies, yet I don't doubt they have an accurate combination of those about me and sell it to any client who can afford it. And that is what this article is about: Apple is enabling this at the source.

There are undoubtedly many more Ad-tech companies who market data they gathered about me without freely given consent. Again, it needs to stop.

Personally I think AirBnb had its time.

To me AirBnb is like a hotel, except:

- No gym, sauna and other SPA facilities included

- No breakfast buffet, restaurants or room service available

- No room upgrades available

- No early check in/late check out available

- No 24/7 access available

- No reception desk 24/7 available where I can ask for good recommendations, learn a bit more about the place without feeling awkward to ask or risk being sucked into a long unnecessary conversation

- No easy way to voice complaints or raise concerns if something goes wrong

- No extra facilities such as laundry, flower service, etc.

- No other guests which I can meet in the lobby, at the bar and so on to socialise

On the other hand I get this at AirBnbs:

- Having difficulties to access the property because hosts
want to meet somewhere in a place which suits them but not me

- Sometimes waiting for the house/flat keys longer than expected

- Sometimes being told on arrival how some things "recently" broke and that they won't be available during my stay

- Awkward hellos and good byes

- Awkward random house rules

- Awkward access restrictions such as can't open this gate after X hour, and so on

- A lot of fake friendliness as long as you don't raise any concerns

- Difficulties to raise issues and getting refunds

- A lot more which I can't think of now, but left me with a really bad aftertaste every time
"Maybe if our COVID response was like Germany" This is classic strawman. What I said is true, that this one anecdote doesn't tell anything. I am not saying Trump's response is good, just that this story doesn't prove anything just a zeal against trump.
https://www.migadu.com/procon/#we-do-not-offer-email-at-our-...

> Our whole service was built around the premise of giving email liberties back to the users, not taking them away. We refuse to fence users and lock them in.

This is a very interesting take! I completely agree with it. While it may not work for many but one of the biggest mistake I made was I've used <4 letter name>@mailbox.org extensively. But I am making an active effort to change that and remove it from use completely.

This is kind of a hidden lock in. Because there's no free email service unlike Tutanota where you can keep using email on their domain in reduced capacity.

Same for Posteo. It just doesn't make sense.

I will eventually move away from Mailbox. I will be watching Migadu. Though 20/day out can be limiting. Though it's rare I've sent 20 mails per day but there has been days when I did.

> https://www.migadu.com/procon/#no-mailbox-2fa-yet

I do not agree with the tone here. Yes, IMAP doesn't support 2FA but I'd want the Migadu control panel interface to be protected by 2FA. I like how Mailbox has handled it.
As a native Hebrew speaker, when I was first exposed to Kubernetes years ago I could not have overlooked the resemblance to the Hebrew word "kbarnit" which has the same meaning. I'm sure the Greek word which inspired the authors and the Hebrew word share origins (don't know which predates the other), but in this case the Hebrew word happens to sound closer to the common pronunciation which helped me pick it up quite intuitively
