It’s good that you mention accessibility, because TFA does not. Nor does the Skaija repo, and nor does the repo for Jetpack Compose for Desktop [0], JetBrains’ higher-level UI kit based on it. I think it’s a mistake to suggest that “native UI toolkit” implies “feature complete”.

I'm excited to finally announce Kullish, a BYOL (bring your own links) comment aggregator that I have been working on and privately testing for a while now!

In a nut shell, Kullish searches the web for current and historical discussions about webpage links and presents a single feed of all user comments and threaded discussions in reverse-chronological order. That's it. No accounts, no social sign-ups, no user tracking, no outrage algorithms tampering with your feed to maximise "engagement", no clunky Javascript SPA.

The landing page has an FAQ section that you can look through, and there is also a longer launch blog post about Kullish here: https://notado.substack.com/p/kullish-byol-comment-aggregati...
Single commands do many different things, options are inconsistent, e.g. -n does one thing for one command, and a different thing for others, lots of common tasks require complex sequences of commands, etc.

It's pretty telling that there have been multiple attempts to write a saner CLI for Git.
Big plus for SweetHome 3d, I designed my new bathroom with it (nothing fancy, just some render to get the idea of how various options could look like, but given how bad I am at those things it was a great success!)

Same here. I think it's a good idea to create an ecosystem around the Proton brand but not at the expense of its major products. Mail and VPN are pretty good on desktop for my usage but Contacts, Calendar, and now Drive are in alpha mode missing the things that would get a lot of user to do a proper switch from its competitors. I wished they'd focus more on a few produtcs at the time and not launch dozens of them with the bare minimum of features and no mobile apps.

To their defense they did release a lot of things to help create that ecosystem (SSO, bridge, mail v4 beta) but I think the drive launch should have happened after having Mail and Calendar out of beta with proper apps.
> You have been mislead by Posteo intentionally it seems.

I don't like such tone.

TL;DR I didn't verify how Posteo's TOTP works.

FWIW, I've never used Posteo; I have some German friends who are happy with it. I'm staying local, using Soverin as my primary e-mail provider.

The reason for using a token for authorization is that the user can revoke the token (e.g. when device is lost), instead of having to change their password. These are indeed not TOTP because they are not time-based, nor do they depend on another factor (ie. password); they replace that factor. It is indeed dishonest to call such MFA/2FA.

Its perfectly possible to get IMAP to work with TOTP though. For example, you can use PAM to authenticate, and PAM can use TOTP or FIDO2 (ignoring the issues with PAM every major OS barring OpenBSD uses it). We use something similar for OpenVPN because of requirement of ISO 27k1.

I don't trust webmail at all because I don't audit the JavaScript. Nor can I verify that every visit. Same issue with OpenPGP.js. Then again, I also don't trust e-mail authenticity because the protocol is broken by design, and nobody has come up with a suitable alternative. Which is why I wouldn't pay much for it; as I would not and do not use it much, since its fundamentally broken. For example, at rest and at transit there is not enough data integrity/authenticity.

A lot of people are using a weak password as first factor, btw. Do you protect against such?
No one I work with does that. They do one of two things.

1) argue that they really don't need to change anything
2) push more commit(s)

Why would it be better to rewrite history?
Universally websites for restaurants suck. That’s why Uber eats is gaining so much market share (also the fact that they have given me over 100$ of free food this year). So it’s partially being better but also a whole shitload of load dumping or equivalent.
I've started using Deliveroo a bit during the lockdown here in France. But frankly... it's just faster to go downstairs. There are superb restaurants all over the place within literal (!) spitting distance of my door/windows. Snack food, too.

I know it's not a short term solution, but the US seems to have painted itself into a bit of a corner by separating commercial and residential areas so much...?
In other countries, government “negotiation” is just a euphemism for price controls. An example of this is Canada’s Patented Medicine Prices Review Board, which regulates drug prices. This isn’t “negotiation”, this is just centralized policy-driven price control.

The US could very well institute their own price controls on drugs, but it wouldn’t invalidate the value in services like Amazon’s, especially if the price controls in question do not create a lower bound on prices, but instead focus on setting upper bounds.
> A slightly less trivial solution where you grab the IP out of a file over HTTP instead could be easily implemented by any junior developer.

Over HTTP from what? You would need name resolution or a hard-coded IP address to make an HTTP request.

And the thing this is preventing isn't just what the malware does after you're already infected, it's the path to receiving malware to begin with.

I've gotten pharmacy delivery from Walgreen before. I don't think they publicize it very much, but like a couple months ago I called into check the status of a prescription and they just brought it.
Governments certainly can do, although the US government seems to be permanently hobbled by about half of its leaders having built their identity on the idea that government is incompetent and a bad idea; I'm not surprised it's dysfunctional when the people inside it have their sense of self wrapped up in being shit at their own jobs.

The expectation for a blog post is that it captures things at a single moment in time. To me, "book" implies something that will be continually updated and maybe expanded.
> Rhythmic variations can be highly irregular and even seemingly random, yet follow an underlying logic and be stylistically essential to the performance, which means they would merit notation in some form.

and yet ... in almost all the musical forms where this happens, it isn't notated.

I've played samba (surdo and tamborim parts, mostly). I have many friends who play Brasilian music in general. I think we have a problem with definitions, because the pandeiro part precisely fits my definition of "extremely regular timing". When playing samba, unlike various jazz influenced forms, you do not play ahead or behind the groove. The variation still uses a 16th note grid, albeit with lots of freedom of which parts of the grid to play or not play.
I think more than one thing can be a problem. The CLI is confusing and the model is complicated. This means people can get themselves into weird, hard-to-debug situations. Or end up copy-pasting incantations in hopes of fixing problems, but instead might lose their work.
From the PoV of BTC-proponents, this could be a description of fiat.
IMHO, this is the massive problem in the USA. We have one side dug in against corporations, and the other side dug in against the government.
As a Canadian, I believe that the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board [1] does quite a good job, judging from the cost of medication up here (broadly speaking).

They're complaining about git and the very first thing they discuss is how git interacts with a completely separate piece of software. Push doesn't have to be to Github, it can also mean sending an email. Obviously you can't undo that.

The Github-first problem is viewing git merely as an interface to Github, where the home of the work is and where all things are collected and operated on. From this it follows that git push is a fundamental operation like add or commit. And from this follow complaints that git commit isn't something that sends your changes to the One True Repo.

If you push then you should give up any expectation of control or ownership over the code that's sent over the communications protocol of choice. Purging a file is nice for you but in action would be a force-pushed rebase that you have to ask people very nicely to use instead of the initial branch. Controlling what branch other people use is completely out of scope for a local VCS.

The blog continues on to say that the distributed nature gets in the way of the mental model.:

>they have never even considered that there’s such a thing, because why would they? A branch is just a single concept in our head that is made complicated by the inherent distributed nature of Git.

And that's just the wrong model to have, inspired by understanding git through the lens of Github. If you're using git and you're unaware that you're operating on your local copy, not a shared workspace, then you can't place much stock in whatever mental model you come up with.
I've never worked in an environment where it was expected or used. As far as I can tell, no time has been wasted as a result. How would it cause time wasting?
I'm from Serbia, so no, I'm not really privileged with any of that as we've got oppressive regime in power, inefficient police used to look the other way on crimes, and fairly close-minded and conservative society. Of course, there are places where it's far worse, but I had fairly enough of shit happen to me so far in life (break-up of the country, years of war, living under UN sanctions, hyperinflation, working for $5/month, full-blown dictatorship with secret police killing people, etc.) that I like to think that I actually do have some clue on "a big picture"...
I'm a heavy ansible user and have not experienced anywhere close to this level of pain with ansible 2.10 and collections. None of my playbooks needed module names updated and this is not a syntax change. A fully qualified module name is simply being more explicit about where your desired module comes from in the infinitely extensible library of modules. If you use builtins or have only one of that module name installed you don't have to update anything. At least that has been my experience, although I primarily use builtin modules for a majority of my work.
And you'll create a business model for all sorts of more efficient technologies. And you'll make green energy pay for itself so quickly everyone will be installing it.

This is the obvious solution. Tax carbon heavily and the economy will reward efficiency and non-carbon-generating technologies. Hands off! https://concretecuts.xyz/articles/green-tech-market/
Writing a new git GUI doesn't solve the problem, since you need people to adopt it before it's widely installed as default on most OSes by default, and until then you'd probably need to learn the old interface anyway.

IIRC there have been various papers on Git's crappy UI and at least one two rewrites (of the interface). Gitless is the name of one.

Oh, I forgot the most important thingof all: integration with tooling! QtCreator has support and shortcuts for Git with its commands, but not Gitless.
ReMarkable tablet open source tools and hacks
I've used git for ten years, at half a dozen organizations (I'm a consultant/contractor). I have accepted that it's what we use now, so I use it. But...

Git is the bad boyfriend of the developer community. If anything bad happens it was your fault. If you ask it to do something and it does something else, it was your fault, and also you are stupid. If you ever make a mistake, you will be punished for it with a long drawn out cycle of embarrassment. No matter what happens, it was not git's fault, it was your fault.

Good software is not like that. Good software is the opposite of all of that. Git is the industry standard, and I have just accepted that we aren't going to get anything better, but whereas it might make sense for the Linux kernel dev community, it is not good software, and I suspect that it's not just the UI that's the problem.

Lots of non-devs also have the problem of wanting to have multiple people edit the same document, track changes, and occasionally merge them. I would never recommend that they use git, and I see no evidence that it is ever spreading beyond the dev community in any significant way. There's a good reason for that.

IDEA still has a horrible GUI in my opinion. All sorts of weird subtle bugs relating to the very fundamental UI interactions that make the whole experience very frustrating. The main one I remember is that certain buttons in the UI are simply unreliable - depending on what processing is going on (sometimes if nothing heavy is being processed), certain buttons in the UI will not respond when clicked. I used IDEA for years and very often had to click a button 4-5 times until it would activate, especially while using the debugger.

If the UI toolkit can't get a button right, it is completely broken IMO. Even including intelliJ products, I have never used a Java GUI which was good.

One of the best examples of this are old POS systems, which are mostly ncurses type applications. The people that use these fly around the interface so efficiently and are very productive.
You're right, of course.

We'll ultimately try multiple channels. Actually our first channel we're trying is wholesaling to coffee shops.

We are really treating it a bit more like a startup in the sense that we have opinions, are testing them, but will iterate and are open to changing course based on the feedback we receive from the market.

There are a few reasons why the initial thesis is to stay away from Door Dash/Grubhub.

(A) cost - since we're not at scale, our unit costs are... not great. With the Door Dash cut, we'll almost certainly be in negative unit cost territory.

(B) Door Dash / GrubHub are an on demand business. A customer goes online, picks an option, then we fulfill it within X minutes. Subscription and wholesale allow us to BATCH our output (and therefore labor and facility inputs). This makes cost management way easier for us up front.

So right now, we can get off the ground just hiring people 2 days a week, but that wouldn't work with the normal Door Dash model.

Once we have our basic costs covered by the predictable orders, it'll be a lot easier for us to add on demand options
and it won't add incremental labor costs.

Tock To Go is probably an early option for us though due to allowing low costs and future pickup ordering (Hi Nick Kokonas, I love you!)
And don't you similarly also need name resolution or a hard-coded IP address in order to reach a malicious DoH server?

Mercari Scales Reliability
As an American resident, I couldn't be more excited for Amazon to disrupt the reprehensible anti-customer practices endemic to the US healthcare system.

Recently, I had a runny nose and no fever and thought, "what the heck, let's get a COVID test", and found out they are $200+ here in Austin.
The core of it is a liquid mirror which is harder to do in space because to shape it into a parabola you need spin and a down which would require constant acceleration since it want's to look at a single point in space. Also long duration attitude holding is harder in space than it is on the ground.

If we wanted to build something similar in space it's essentially a 5x larger James Webb Space Telescope which is having some trouble last I heard with it's folding mechanism so building one 5 times larger to fit into a faring is a big task.
Won't it still boil due to the near-zero pressure?
One of Ansible's big selling points that it was "simple" because it used YAML.

What a shitty idea that turned out to be.

And it's not simple. It's just as complicated as its competitors. It's full of weird quirks and corner cases, and just like all the other tools in its class it feels like it was more congealed and cobbled together out of random bits than designed in a consistent, elegant way.
In today’s political landscape, being unbiased in content moderation will anger both sides because of the intense polarization that is occurring.

Then if you go the way of Reddit you will please one side and make the other even more angry.

I think the problem is that we see what is happening in the US with poverty and the middle class, but instead we focus on tribalism.

Captive-Portal Identification in DHCP and Router Advertisements (RAs)

Actually the future is ambient network access. But on the way there, the likely pathway is larger and larger federated network authentication. Most of the world's higher education students/ staff are enrolled into EduROAM, so that it doesn't matter if they're in a classroom in Tokyo or London, the federated system concludes they are a legitimate user somewhere and so they can connect here. In these federated systems there's no use for a "Captive portal" since it could not safely achieve federated authentication, so there isn't one.
I think there are many aspects of Git that are obscure/error-prone regardless of how well you understand its implementation.

For example, the concepts of "ours" and "theirs" when looking at changes depends on the current operation mode (rebase vs merge).

Merging is unsafe-by-default, because it auto-merges even if both branches have modifications to the same file, and there is no guarantee that the resulting file is correct.

There are numerous ways to collaborate on a git repo, with vastly different performance/usability implications, none of which is obvious when you start up (merging remote into local, rebasing local onto remote, squashing local commits; patches vs pushes).

Not to mention that, for teams that work with a centralized remote repo, the whole concept of local tracking branches adds mental overhead for nothing, and extra work every time you want to push a change to a remote branch. You have to first pull, even if your changes and the remote ones don't touch the same files. Which of course means that, if you had a dirty worktree, you actually need to run 3 commands - one to stash your changes, one to pull, the actual push, and now an unstash.
>I am only speaking from experience. In my social bubble

If all you're speaking from is personal anecdote from a tiny biased subsample of people, then don't speak about "the majority of the people". Because objectively, millions care given the chance. Measures like the GDPR were popular. Or in the US the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), which in fact just this past election got an attempted[1] enhancing provision passed by popular referendum (2020 Proposition 24) with 56% of the vote, or about ~9.1 million people.

Of course people care about convenience and security as well. So again it's very important to make it clear that those don't have to be zero-sum games with privacy, and for technical people to not merely blindly oppose flawed efforts to improve that but put up better solutions. I think we've repeatedly made big mistakes there over the past 20 years, failing to get out in front of efforts like Apple's iOS and then ending up with no way to create standards with the good but not the bad. But that doesn't mean, all else being equal, that people don't care, or in major cases won't make some sacrifices for it. One of the real nasty strategies of anti-privacy forces in fact has been trying to twist it into zero-sum, claiming that privacy can't be convenient or secure.

----

1: Proposition 24 is itself also illustrative of how popular support doesn't always translate into perfectly written legislation, I know the EFF had reservations about it saying it was a mix of steps forward and backward. But again, the desire is clearly there.

What a great site! I've flicked through a few of the videos and really like the style.

My one nitpick / thought would be that the terms of service[1] are a bit limiting. I wasn't expecting Creative Commons (although it's always great to see CC-licensed educational materials), but expressly forbidding any commercial use is a bit of a shame - what if someone is learning as part of a job? The terms have been auto-generated by a ToS generator[2], so this wording may not be fully intentional.

It's not a malicious DoH server. It's just any DoH server which is bypassing your Pi-hole and therefore resolves the malicious name instead of blocking it.

So I take it you would be fine with sharing all of your credit card and location history for the past 10 years with at least 5000 people you've never met?
It's also not a problem for me, because I squash the commits on merge to master or other remote branch.
I don’t believe this. If you manage to use the git CLI you’re not put off by bad bitbucket UI.

My explanation would be:

Git won because it was used for Linux and because it was fastest where it mattered.

That's not the point. Don't you need to hardcode some kind of identifier in order to use your malware's preferred DoH server instead of the user's preferred one (which could have content blocking applied)?
