Well that's 0 for 3 then. Linux has always exhibited this 'problem.' Windows is effectively at parity with Linux now, and you point out the increasing divergence of even macOS.

What shall we conclude from all of this? I propose that simultaneously expecting a) an operating system to host a limitless diversity of graphical applications with origins that transcend platforms, programming paradigms and decades and b) that they all precisely align with your chosen operating systems ever changing GUI conventions and c) all of this be delivered at at least affordable if not no cost -- is simply unreasonable.
Bezos also makes the same references that Elon Musk spearheaded in his interviews... like Bezos says that noone would use throwaway planes that would be only good for one flight. Musk said that long ago also.

So, the observation that a lot of copying is going on is more incorrect, but that's the case with most things in life.

Shows though how strong Musks influence is in the area
Well, it can go well. People develop and change; for example, I'm sure it's possible for a reckless and careless guy to unintentionally get a girl pregnant, and rise to the occasion and make a commitment and end up raising the child very competently. It may not even be rare; evolutionary instincts are a powerful thing, and if you've never seen him in that situation before, you may be surprised.

However, we work with likelihoods. Is an irresponsible jerk, or a horndog who doesn't want a long-term relationship, likely to end up as good a parent as someone who says "I planned to have kids and made sure I had a decent career first"? It's possible, but I don't think it's likely, although I haven't seriously looked into it.
File corruption would be a way it would not be working properly that wouldn’t be revealed by what you did.
Your reply is... confusing.

You tell people not to use PGP, then recommend using Signal.

Signal requires a phone number and phone to sign up. The Signal backend server is run by Signal Messenger LLC. As far as I understand, you can't run your own backend server, there's some restriction there.
Signal's encryption is open and audited/auditable, and is convenient however it's not widely implemented in a public manner (Whatsapp and some other sites apparently use it; have consulted with Signal.)

I know PGP has flaws, the other replyee posted a link even.
But in less than 5 minutes, for free, and without violating my privacy to captchas or barbaric service terms, I can:

- Sign up for a brand new email address from a privacy respective service, on (almost) any device/system

- Generate a PGP keypair on (almost) any device/system

- Share the pubkey with a receiver

- Instantly send encrypted content

Is it more inconvenient than installing Signal? Yes, but it's far more flexible.

And I agree with the other replyee, this reply sounds more like a dislike of SHA-1, which is fine, rather than "don't use PGP".

Anyway, yes everyone who uses proprietary or anti-user messaging platforms should move to Signal/Matrix.

Ok, that's fair, thanks for pointing it out, but I thought also that Vivaldi also had part Chinese ownership.

Aside from potential vulnerabilities (bugs), no. Font formats are declarative. The various tables that define conditionals et al have no ability to run arbitrary code, and certainly do not have any concept of scripting and the like.
Sorry for the delay. Your guess is correct. I reach the modules page with a goal in mind, "I want to sign some data", "I want to generate a key pair to sign some data", etc - and am left questioning where to go next. Now, that sounds lazy, but it's more.. cautious - as i mentioned i am very wary of a potential footgun that would leave me using the wrong tool or the right tool in the wrong way. So without very, very explicit goal oriented documentation i'm left confused, unsure which module should be used to do what i seek.

Crypto puts people who know the unknowns in an awkward position. If i was fully ignorant i'd probably find more progress, as i'd be willing to just throw bytes around and see what works. Yet i've seen so many horror stories and tales of caution that i'm left never knowing if it's safe to do X in Y scenario.

Combine that with my goal of using this code in Desktop, Mobile, WASM (maybe web, definitely mobile, etc) - and a bunch of scary new attack vectors get introduced and compound confusion.

It's difficult to know where to start haha. Anyway, hopefully this answers your question :)
> The idea of puffing and sweating inside a heavy VR headset doesn't seem very alluring to me for some reason...

It is like hanging out in a sweaty gym, you get used to it. But the quest isn't exactly idea for it, which is why I think my headset konked out after a year of heavy use. I hope it gets better.

> not "grinding" and distracting yourself while getting this physical thing done.

To each their own of course. Shadow boxing has been a thing for a few decades now, this is just shadow boxing to music with visual, audio, and a bit of force feedback. I personally need to be distracted, and I like to be able to keep my heart rate at 70-80% without expending extra will power.
So many redactions
As I've said, the people I've met with Down Syndrome seemed to be genuinely happy (and just all-around delightful) people, to the best that I could determine. I've also read that parents and other family members of people with Down Syndrome also report high levels of satisfaction with life. I know what side of the line DS would fall on for me, but I can't make that decision for other people.
Well, working in ad-tech is pretty much bad from the get-go, this just seems like more of the same to me. To be fair, unlike VW diesels, it's also not directly damaging anyone's health, but it's still a nasty business.

This happened to me in Catalina as well. This summer I was preparing the paper proceedings for a conference, which were made with InDesign. I had to remove a couple of pages from the output, did so with Preview, and from then on, the text was garbled on copy-pasting. Had to switch to using Acrobat for that step.
So has anyone else noticed how every week, we seem to switch off between different companies and notices of governments suing them? It was Facebook last week, Amazon before that, and Apple before then. Now this week, it’s Google’s turn I guess?

Seriously, try and look for it. It’s surprising how correlated things are from week to week.
Care to share any specific advantages, aside from the general notion of “appropriate security”?
Christ. I forgot about the default visual tab switcher. It's truly horrendous. That, and the "insert related tab after current" behaviour, are the first things I turn off. Horrible.
It would help if Preview wasn't really keen on editing the document, though. I find it tries to modify PDFs quite often -- I think it happens if I accidentally click on a table as I scroll through the document. I have resorted to 'chmod 0444 *.pdf' on my folder of datasheets and manuals so it can't mess with what I want to be a read-only file. Preview is the only pdf viewer I've ever needed to do that for.

I've never wanted to edit a PDF, so personally I'd rather the feature was gated behind a menu option or something so you had to deliberately ask for it.
Slightly off-topic, but in the spirit of AMA - how would you recommend, on the web (via wasm-bindgen), converting text (like Slate or DraftJS's data models, not necessarily html+css) to WebGL?

Wouldn't it be nice, to have a deep project staring at you and you being able to dive into it, whilst paid and bettering the future.

I've never experienced that and it's a shame as I think this is what true enlightenment is in a civilisation.

That's far more valuable than escaping the rat race and being loaded, blowing it on real estate and night clubs.

It's dangerous to think this way tho because you then start talking about minimum wage which only raises the cost of life for everyone else and takes the poor to really poor. It also leads to communism. Not sure if there is a utopia that isn't communistic in approach where people have the freedom to put their brains onto their topic of choice without worrying about the immediate commercial returns.
Appreciate it! I also heavily appreciate attempts to make crypto more usable for general software devs.

Thanks for the awesome looking library. I'll go ahead and fumble my way through it soon, i'm sure it's not as complex as i'm making it. I'm just not sure what usage is "safe" - so i look forward to documentation that helps me understand Safety in this context :)
Google collaborates with many of the FAANGs - like Apple and the contact tracing APIs - so I'm really curious what made the cut here with Facebook.
Exactly, young devs here are completely out of touch with operations. Of course ideally something like standard 1TB HDD+32GB RAM system would be upgraded to newer OS and apps version by a central tool in 2hours, but we don't such FM technology yet.

There isn't a 100% chance that Beat Saber 2 will be exclusive, but you're right that it's likely and if that happens it will be a shame. My hope is that Facebook moving away from PC VR as a focus means they won't see it as competition, and start releasing previously exclusive games on Steam in the same way Microsoft and Sony have started releasing previously console exclusive titles, but I won't hold my breath.

Nope.

- Fedora is cutting edge/desktop.
- CentOS Stream is testing/RC area for RHEL patches.
- RHEL is the stable server for enterprise.

This is what I understood from a reply to another comment of me in a similar thread.
Maybe your therapist can say life begins at 40 because for a therapist their career starts kicking into high gear at that point and really just keeps going upward until retirement. For a software developer your career can start heading downhill even before 40 - age seems to have no advantage (with regard to career stability) for software developers like it does for therapists, doctors and lawyers.
Yes but as I understand, that will be a feature of that reader application alone. And it does not exist on Linux
Moves to Boost Your Productivity in 2021 (Part 1)
Bill Gates explained why everybody but Google and Apple failed at mobile OSes:

> “In the software world, particularly for platforms, these are winner-take-all markets. So the greatest mistake ever is whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is. That is, Android is the standard non-Apple phone platform. That was a natural thing for Microsoft to win. It really is winner take all. If you’re there with half as many apps or 90 percent as many apps, you’re on your way to complete doom. There’s room for exactly one non-Apple operating system."

They laid off their Rust and Servo developers.
I mean, is a pyramid scheme a bad thing if we treat it as a game? In the initial stages it would essentially be a lottery with better odds than the lottery, but in the later stages it would turn into a system that funnels money into the hands of those who are more mathematically capable and can build better and more accurate models of the dynamics of human hype.

Good models of hype is something that I think hasn't really been done well yet. Hype is something we just have to live with because it is human nature, and IMO it is worth modelling so that we can learn to both exploit it and counteract it effectively.
But it is a RH-based – it's just like CentOS used to be. It's just not owned nor operated by RH.
You won't get locked out.

If you use the GitHub APIs (you probably don't as a "regular guy with some github repos") you need to adjust how you do that to use tokens. If you haven't adjusted before they get rid of the legacy authentication you'll have to manually log into your GitHub account and read up how to do it then or your API calls break.

If you use HTTPS URLs to refer to your github repos (more likely on Windows) from Git then you need to get tokens by the deadline to make that work. Or, switch to using SSH URLs for your repositories if that seems easier.

If, like a great many GitHub users, neither applies, you don't need to do anything, it will continue to work as before.

As a rule of thumb, think about your GitHub password. Anywhere you have to keep typing that in (other than the actual GitHub sign in page) or you've saved it to be re-used over and over, that will stop working. That was always a bad idea, and now it will stop working.
AWS has been tip-toeing into the maps space for a few years with their hosted GIS data.

They have the infrastructure to create a very compelling imagery dataset from their combination of Amazon Air, and Amazon Prime Air (drone delivery).

Google flies planes to capture cities for Google Earth, but none of the other mapping companies are regularly capturing this data as part of their everyday business.

I know someone is going to say "yeah, but you have to fly vertical and horizontal paths across cities to capture all the data", but I think that is a current limitation which will be resolved with large amounts of data and ML/AI.
I wonder how this could be monetized though? Apple dropped their affiliate program for the App store quite a while back.
That’s interesting- but do think of the challenge it places on parents. Bringing up a child with Down’s syndrome is extremely tough, and they never really become independent adults.
I think you're being too hard on yourself, and if I may say, I think therapy could help you work some of this out (fwiw I believe nearly every person on the planet could benefit from at least a little therapy).

Here's one way to try reframing it for now: I see the point of life as maximizing happiness for myself and others. So if I'm setting rigorous expectations for myself that don't actually contribute to that purpose in any way, and in fact partly sabotage it by making me miserable, there's no logical reason to hold those expectations in the first place.

What do you or anyone else gain from "deserving" to put titles for yourself in your Twitter bio? Do those activities if they make you happy; if they don't, then don't waste energy on them. And certainly don't do them just to say that you did.
This doesn't really work for paid newsletters. The two exceptions I've found are for RSS readers that operate as browser extensions and for substack podcasts, which come with a dedicated RSS address for each subscriber. I like to read newsletters on my Kindle via Calibre and it would really make things much simpler if substack just did what they did for podcasts for all newsletters without exception.

Love how they market that: "Desktop as a Service". Contrast with tiny, self-served routers owned by users that store no user data and whose only access is via SSH. Who owns the computers in the "AWS Workspace". Need to see the terms the AWS customer must agree to (non-negotiable, no doubt) to get a better understanding of what this service is really about.

> That's not the only choice. Focusing protection on the vulnerable while allowing the rest of society to function could've spared us both from the worst of the pandemic's destruction and the economic destruction --

That's an unrealistic idea. You can't have unchecked community spread and "focus protection on the vulnerable," without literally imprisoning them in an isolation bubble for a year or more, which is far longer than the successful lockdowns have lasted. There are places in the world that have already opened up, virus free.

The rule with this pandemic seems to be: the more half-ass you are at controlling it, the more pain and expense you get.

> "economic" is a bit of a misnomer too. There is a greater cost to lockdowns than just economics. Mental and physical health also suffer. Those that can't get preventative care they need suffer. Depressed people and those with anxiety who turn to drugs, alcohol and suicide suffer.

If you really cared so much about people's "mental and physical health," why are you advocating a policy that wouldn't lessen it, but rather concentrate the damage and increase the burden to on the vulnerable?
Keep in mind also that in many cases (e.g. when using DNS over HTTPS), Firefox is in fact not using the OS API, and is directly hitting a DNS server instead. Of course in that case whatever is happening in /etc/hosts is either getting ignored anyway or Firefox is parsing it anyway...

I've had basically this exact setup running on a cloud server for the past few months. It's pretty liberating to be able to open ports to 10.44.0.0/24 and have all of my different machines easily access them, regardless of what networks they're connected to. I've added in an instance of nsd that manages a zonefile so I can do:

ssh laptop.wg.mydomain.net

which resolves into 10.44.0.3 for example.

There are two major downsides with this approach:

(1) all of your traffic must go by way of the bounce server, even if your machines are on the same LAN.

(2) the bounce host can observe all of your traffic.

I've been considering adding a second layer of wireguard on top of this for end-to-end encryption between nodes. Each machine would have one interface configured like this article suggests simply to assign a stable NAT-traversing IP address. Then they'd each have a second interface using the first-level IP addresses as endpoints. This would result in 2x the encryption overhead, both in CPU and more importantly in MTU, but it would mean the bounce host was no longer able to intercept even unencrypted data. If you run a daemon on all of the hosts, they can play with the endpoints used on this second level network to avoid using the bounce host when they find they can directly connect to each other, but the default path would work (if somewhat slowly) by the double tunnel process even without this daemon.

For bonus points, run multiple bounce hosts, connect to all of them from each peer, then select the endpoint to use for each paired peer connection based on the total path latency.
Nobody is saying that it is, but by your logic APPL is a great currency.
You are right. CDC said in March "You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask)".

Abortion is a horrible thing I wish didn’t exist. Given that it does exist, it’s a horrible choice I wish upon no one. Given that choice is ever made, it’s a horrible thought to consider punishing a woman for making it.

All of that said, as a society we have a responsibility to do better than almost a million abortions a year (~20% of all pregnancies) in the US.

I think a better male contraceptive choice would go a long way to reducing that number. As usual, I believe in a technological solution to societal ills.
