I'm not a user nor do I need it, but the pricing seems really silly. Your users who find value from it surely need it more than $1 or $5 a month. If it's only $1/mo in value to me, I wouldn't even bother to sign up. Better find out what people use this for and have a better sense of how much they'd pay.
I wonder if REPLs would be processed closer to a spoken/written language. I really like "conversational" command lines, and I'm curious whether that subjective feeling of conversationality is because I am using linguistic brain structures, or if it's something else.
Nuance is not called for. The standard states that a 5xx SMTP error is a permanent error and "The SMTP client SHOULD NOT repeat the exact request"

Gmail screwed up here, returning a 550 error, it's not anyone else's job to try to second guess that or retry in contradiction of the accepted standard.

No, quiting is for people who want something they don't have. Loss-aversion is a very powerful force, especially in the hands of senior leadership.

We're talking about local (county or city) regulations that prevent the building of high density structures in a lot of these cities. Those regulations exist because the residents want them. Non-residents don't vote on those regulations because they don't live there, just like non-CA residents don't get to vote on CA laws even though those people are affected by them.
I agree. Originality is a rare and measurable personality index.
Many things could happen to the mask, even if you disposed of it in a proper location. The trash bin could be tipped over or rummaged in by wildlife, for instance. When the trash collector comes, the trash bag could rip and the contents spill out. Strong winds might cause small and light objects like masks to fly out.
What are the good password practices for handling passwords that several people need to be able to use?

I have yet to be in an organization that hasn’t defaulted to something quite unwise simply because trying to maintain the institutional knowledge of that password is otherwise difficult.
I did one course in Visual basic and Java, then used matlab and python in my undergrad and graduate degrees.

When I went into automotive engineering I wrote some data anlysis tools in python. I ended up in management where I wrote some pretty impactful VBA to build powerpoint decks out of excel sheets. During this time I also did some of Freecodecamp.org in the evenings.

Then the stars sort of aligned and I got a job 50/50 between client management and coding.

Right now I'm doing CS50 to plug the gaps in my knowledge and really really loving coding. I plan to finish FreeCodeCamp afterwards!

There is one huge advantage that i don't believe REST can solve: a GraphQL server returns a schema that tells you exactly what can be queried. When using REST endpoints you are at the mercy an API's documentation, which is often quite poor. I know there are tools like Swagger that solve this problem to some extent, but its not baked into the standard like with GraphQL.

The good password practice is to not do this.
I recommend Manjaro with the default desktop environment XFCE.

It's a rolling release, so you always get up-to-date software. Installing software is easier than any other OS (just use the Add/Remove app not the command line). I have tried desktop Linux for years and I never really got an effortlessly stable and worry free system until I used that distro.

I've been running it on one laptop and two desktop workstations now for over two years. It never interrupts me, I update when I want to and it's based on Arch so it's got excellent documentation.
It can cause more damage than good by making people doubt the entire mission as a whole. Funding will dry up pretty quick if folks think it is just another dead end.

And $30 per Kg would be nice, the last figure for SpaceX is $2,720 per kg. That is a very big difference.

I have nothing against revolutionary technology. The thing is, when it comes to the reusable rockets and near earth orbital stuff - I have never had much doubts that SpaceX would achieve this outside of earth based political issues. I worry that they are pushing an image of what they want rather than what they will achieve.

Look at Blue Origin, I actually don't have a problem with them as they seem to be taking the more cautious approach. It could be a Turtle and the Hare situation going on here.
You are betting that CDPR will put in its due dilligence to regain trust of consumers. If they fail to deliver in the next 12 months, future sales will be bad. It’s rather pathetic that consumers give such leeway to irresponsible management.

> In my experience, once you give people the basic toolkit for introspection, it can kick off a positive feedback loop.

No doubt it is an improvement over baseline - but do you have any opinions on this specific notion that skills in abstract thinking mode may not successfully transfer to object level thinking, particularly when under pressure (ie: conversations)? I truly believe that this is a real phenomenon.

> On the contrary I think those who see this as negative are few and far between. Democratic power in the western world has never been greater than today, so if this is something the people want, there is very little that can stand in their way.

Oh, I think this is a very small group of people. I believe the general public has wanted a lot of things for a very long time (general welfare for all people, within reason, especially domestically), but improvements along these lines seem rather marginal, despite essentially unending productivity and GDP growth. Something seems rather imperfect here - the advertised benefits of democracy seem more impressive than the results, not unlike TV commercials for a Big Mac Meal versus what you actually get at the restaurant.

Having written and debugged both Theano and TF plenty in the past, I think this is a somewhat uncharitable take, esp. recalling the absolutely enormous Theano compile times. :) I think Theano was genius, but a system that relied on python-string-based C++ code-emitters was always going to have trouble with long-term sustainability.

They've given their reasons for why they have the policies they do. If they were bad reasons somebody else would have made something that makes signal redundant.

Somebody will make signal redundant one day. When I look at it I see that day has not come. When it does the world is a better place for the advances made by signal.

The decisions they've made are /why/ signal is the leader of the pack by a margin. But please do make better ones. Please do give us something better than signal. Their libraries are all capital F Free. Go for it.

Crapping on them from the sideline, sure, go ahead but acknowledge they've done rather better than /anyone/ else in this space. It's not even close. So maybe their decisions are worth considering as having some merit? Disagree sure, but really. They've done it. Well. I haven't. Nobody else has.

I don't like electron. The desktop client works well for me on linux and for non-techy family members on mainstream consumer machines. There's some merit there you're completely discounting which doesn't seem quite fair.

And it's not "At least it's not facebook"

It is: "Whatsapp now is end to end encrypted thanks to signal" and "new players have to match signal's encryption"

That's crap loads more than "at least it's not facebook" that's actually good as opposed less evil. Straight to heaven for achieving that, for mine.
There's a huge difference between sharing between national security services, which are generally out of the reach of everyday warrants and the company moving data so that a local judge can approve a subpoena.
> What are the good password practices for handling passwords that several people need to be able to use?

Mostly – don’t. Every user that has access to a system should have their own credentials. There’s no reason for an update server to be set up this way.
Yes, agreed - making it mobile friendly is fairly high on the todo list.
I agree with your last paragraph.

There is a value in "seeing the good in others". But we tend not to see it unless it benefits us.

I also think the effort to see it - mostly time and patience - is less forthcoming nowadays. Whether it is the rush of life. Or disposable society meaning craft/repair skills are less valued so it isn't worth the time to get to know "elderly appliance repair person". Or the polarisation of debate and views of people.

But yeah, I try to hold that every stranger has some cool/good/great thing that I can't compete with. There are a zillion things in the world.

The chances that MY one or two cool things overlap with theirs is minimal.
But their cool thing - whatever it is - is still cool.
This is well-trod ground, but it's common with any job where the supply/demand ratio is severely in the employers favor.

Not a ton of those jobs in tech, but the dynamic is frankly pretty similar to professional cheerleaders. Lots of people want the job, relatively few of them, and the skill floor isn't all that high.

You can SSO the password to an identity store (LDAP / AD), add MFA

Or, you sign a key/certificate for each user, add MFA

Or, you create a complex password for each user, and add MFA

Or you create a complex password, shared in a keystore that handles checkout and rotation

Worst case, if you're lazy, you create a complex password for a handful of your teammates and reset it when a team member leaves

Or if you're solarwinds, you apparently choose gross negligence
Gmail screwed up, but that's beside the point. We're talking about designing robust systems. You don't design a robust system by assuming nobody will screw up!

Re: the RFC, note it says "should not", not "must not". That seems to suggest they acknowledge repeating might actually make sense in some cases. And honestly the practicalities of this situation and the risk-reward tradeoff seriously tilts toward repeating the request later regardless of what the RFC says. The world isn't going to end.

I'll give you more detail of one way to use that trick then. The single-bit missile and ball objects are turned on or off by writing to their activation register, controlled by bit 1 of that register. Why bit 1, why not 0 or 7? Because that lines up with the zero flag in the 6502's flags register.

What you do is set the stack pointer to that video register, compare on the object's Y-coordinate, then push the flags register to turn the object on or off! So the code needs no shifts or conditions or branches. It's even cycle invariant which is a great property on this machine.

The video hardware was deliberately designed to do this (by chip legend Jay Miner), and Combat's code does. Also, the registers for the two missiles and the ball are adjacent, so you can do this trick to all of them in succession without resetting the stack pointer.
The problem that I see with these sorts of articles is that there aren't viable alternatives. If people want us to eat differently then they need to create viable alternatives.
NieR: Automata is like that.

You're using the passive voice, "people must be protected", which calls for action without considering whether the cure might be worse than the disease.
I'm genuinely curious, do you have more details?
We used to have a shared password.

We've moved to identity + role based access control, but some older core pieces still used the shared password.

We simply have a portal that authenticated users can log into it, and see the current password which is rotated monthly, with a random selection from a series of dictionary words. (which can occasionally produce giggleworthy combinations)

But as the sibling comment says; the right way is to get rid of it entirely.

That's a good point as API doc is often very, very wrong. Still, this could just as easily be added as some semi standardized REST extension/spec. Granted, it wouldn't have the traction up front GQL gives you.
Because Russia were legitimately a culprit during the cold war, and many people who grew up during that period are susceptible to clickbait where Russia is, again, the bad guy. They were primed for it during their entire childhood, and then as adults with movies, video games, etc.
It is all very well to quote Roosevelt and yes he is correct. But there is a difference between putting in the hard work and trying achieve something great, SpaceX have done that and will continue to do great things, and the difference between claiming a million people on Mars.

The thing is there are many folks out there that were the nay-sayers and were completely wrong but also many that were completely correct. They are typically not remembered. It is one thing to make bold claims, it is another to out right deny the realities of the universe because they get in the way of a vision.

It took me about 3 years of self-study to feel confident enough to really apply for jobs. I'd had a couple of embarrassing interviews when I first started, and it spooked me.

When I finally got serious about changing careers, it just came down to a numbers game. Recruiters are the gatekeepers to most jobs, and they don't speak GitHub. I got lucky to apply to a job that had someone who knew JavaScript looking at the resume. They sent me a coding challenge which I later learned I was the only candidate to really complete. I wrote my first JavaScript tests for that challenge.

Ultimately I think my long runway allowed me to hit the ground running. That first job was at a small shop where I got to handle a lot of diverse tasks, including backend work (I mainly do front end). I would have stayed there much longer, but they paid the very low end of the salary range and I have two children to think about. My 16 months there bought me a much better paying, albeit less satisfying position.

I think bootcamps used to be better than they are. They won't teach you anything you can't learn on your own, and you arent going to be a dev in 3 months anyway. It takes a long time to really grok it, and I spend a lot of time on personal development.
Yep. My hypothesis is that this is largely because code is non-linear whereas most written music is usually read in a linear fashion. Agree/disagree?
Man, this reads to me like "My side's media is an angel and the other side is untrustworthy".

Looking at The NYT's and the guardian's content on Portland/Seattle riots shows you the exact same phenomenon there.

I exclude all left aligned and right aligned media from credibility (CNN, Fox, et al.). Then I see even the closer to center but still unfortunately drifting away (NYT, economist, WSJ) as "take whatever they cover that's even the slightest culture war adjacent with a fistful of salt.
That's even a problem with a few pieces of GNU software. The GNU documentation on how to use the software is Free, but if you want to contribute to it, you might need to acquire some pricey and non-Free specifications. For instance: If I wanted to work on modern C features in the C frontend in GCC, I'd probably need a copy of the ISO C18 spec, which would run me a bit over $200 (though in the case of the C standard I could instead get a late-2018 draft for free, and assume it didn't change too much between that draft and the final version).

But note that this is a distinct issue from what RMS's essay is talking about! (The confusion owing to the word "free" being overloaded in English.) "Free documentation," as defined in the essay, means documentation that can be copied and modified, and RMS gives this as justification for those 2 freedoms:

> Redistribution (including commercial redistribution) must be permitted, so that the manual can accompany every copy of the program, on line or on paper.

> But there is a particular reason why the freedom to modify is crucial for documentation for free software. When people exercise their right to modify the software, and add or change its features, if they are conscientious they will change the manual too—so they can provide accurate and usable documentation with the modified program. A manual which forbids programmers from being conscientious and finishing the job, or more precisely requires them to write a new manual from scratch if they change the program, does not fill our community's needs.

The ISO and ANSI standards that the software conforms to don't really meet either of those justifications:

Copy: A user of GCC doesn't need to read the ASNI standard, the GCC manual is plenty good for explaining how to write C that GCC understands. A user of your crypto library doesn't need to read the FIPS standards to learn how to use your library. The standards are useful to the developers of the software, not the users; so the standards needn't accompany every copy of the program.

Modify: A lone programmer working on GCC has no business editing the standards. Agreement between multiple parties is the entire point of the standard; it doesn't make sense to grant permission for just anyone to make edits. RMS is generally pretty clear there are many types of writing that he doesn't believe you are obliged to grant permission for others to edit.

That said, the situation with non-gratis standards is problematic, it means that there's a monetary moat around contribution. But this is an entirely orthogonal problem to what's discussed in "Why Free Software needs Free Documentation".
I wish RedHat would publish the git repositories containing asciidoc source files for their public and freely licensed (CC-BY-SA) documentation (like their LVM docs), does anyone know any of the higher-ups in RedHat who could force this to happen?

Let me understand you better. Would you say the following?

- If FB is to operate under US law with US data centers you prefer to be geo-blocked by them based on IP and feel you need to be protected against your own will and you can't trust yourself to just not use the service

- You are concerned about shadow profiles and the like, i.e. the unavoidability of FB even if you want to avoid it. But otherwise you'd be okay with FB offering its services to those who accept it on the foreign terms.

- You are concerned for your fellow citizens who may be less informed and may accept conditions they don't understand and are harmful for them. Therefore rather geo-block foreign FB from them for their own good.
