I'd add Directory Opus[0] to that list. It's an incredibly customizable and scriptable file explorer that allows you to fit it exactly to your workflow. It's like IntelliJ of file explorers.

- Tabbed interface with multiple panes

- Every function can be assigned a shortcut

- Every button can be scripted

- Defaults can be overwritten

- Dynamic layouts based on folder contents, path or determined by a script

- Custom file previews, context menus, rename scripts

- Hooks for reacting to different events

- Every corner of the UI is themable

- Virtual filesystem for archiving and bookkeeping

- ...

One disadvantage is that you have to use an ancient version of JScript (ES3 / Microsoft flavor) or VBScript (possibly because of the need for communicating over a COM interface). Or use its own DSL for simpler scripts.

I wish it had support for a more modern / more popular languages for scripting. I wonder if QuickJS[1] can be integrated into it. Or Python. That would be really sweet.

>Basically you have to learn to express emotions in the right way, and to the right people, at the right time.

> a huge part of it was just a fundamental misread

I think you are on to something in the first part about you yourself learning stuff but in the last part you just put the burden of those around you.

My take is that men in general lack training in identifying/naming their own feelings/emotions. Then when you are experiencing some tough negative emotions you can't express/talk about them and then your secondary emotions come in from this frustration. What emotion that is is personal but often men will go to anger, "it's think it's this thing that is causing me pain so that thing is bad/stupid/wrong" but all along it was your own feelings coming from your own unmet needs that you could have handled yourself if you just had could have named and reasoned about them.
^ this.

Of course "click to fail" is silly. And, in some experimentations I did in the past, it's usually easy, in a large organization, to forge a 100% legit url (like somefileserver.organization.com/some_url_that_can_be_easily_edited_by_anonymous_users) and a 100% legit sender (because of some open relay that passes DKIM and/or SPF). So you just need an access to a minimal-security internal network (easily obtainable through spearphishing or malicious employees) to perform a good phish.

The obvious attack vector is to insert some JS in the webpage that performs a redirection to an external server holding malicious data. But the user would fail IFF they entered the data there, not just by clicking.
Sure of course. But exceptional engineers produce individual exceptional results that might get lost in the general noise of a company unless it's focused and directed in the right way.
No, I live in a mostly non-techie social group with both Democrats and Republicans: they all view facebook negatively primarily through the lens of their political party.

Your own self-satisfied bubble of congratulatory "we techies are special and have a special perspective" bubble is blinding you. Ask anyone with a moderate interest in politics how they feel about facebook and the answer is mostly going to be "not great".

Most don't care enough to quit facebook, but as per the point of my original comment, facebook isn't going to have any sort of easy time whipping up public support against Apple for privacy issues they mostly don't care about one way or another.
> I think most people are more than mature enough to make their own decisions about what works for them and what doesn't.

Nice point.

As a teenager, I took piano lessons for several years from two good teachers. Nearly fifty years later, I still enjoy playing the piano every day, so lessons obviously worked for me.

But if I were starting out to learn to play the piano now, I probably wouldn't go the teacher route at first. Rather, I would sample various apps, method books, websites, and, especially, YouTube videos and see what I could learn from each of them. I expect some would be too hard, some too easy, and some focused on styles of music I'm not interested in. But in the process of sampling various approaches, I would be able to find out what benefits and motivates me and what doesn't. I suspect that I would end up at least as satisfied with the results as I am now.

> and a replacing it with a function that returns the same values for the same arguments will be safe

No. That is only safe at compile time but not at runtime.
Because the type alone often does not guarantee the meaning and semantics of the values in the specific context and program are the same.
It lost me by about the 5th episode.
I wonder if those modest gains could have been achieved with a simple non-phishing email telling people about the risk.

I also wonder if those gains transfer to real emails, or did the workers simply learn to recognize these particular fake phishing attempts.
I am the owner of a premium gTLD (.dev), which I pay $1,000 per year for. Google runs .dev.

I read the contract carefully, there is nothing preventing Google from increasing the price to 10,000 or 100,0000. It’s my biggest fear.

My only hope is that Google wouldn’t do it from a PR perspective, which I think is a safe and fair assumption.

The real worry is they sell the rights to .dev to GoDaddy or somebody else, because then I am screwed.

Google is one of the best things to happen to domain registrations. I highly recommend them. Even though I’m contractually exposed, to date, Google have been conducting themselves very well in the domain registration market.

One of the great things about .com is that there is a contractual cap on price increases. However the domain I bought would cost in the 10s of millions if it was a .com; so at 1,000 per year, it’s a good deal for the .dev version as long as they don’t significantly increase it (I’m okay with 10% per year increases).
Yes, Slack copied that about two weeks ago, with glitches between versions. Hope they will copy other features someday.
You're not wrong that all words about human identity and behavior and politics have fuzzy (or really no) boundaries. But this is not a nitpick you can apply to my statement. I'm not saying to assume people's sexuality from their gender and the gender of their partner.

If your stance is that it's not necessarily sexist, which honestly I respect in part, it's nonsense to argue that the comment may not be sexist, because "wife" may mean "husband". It's not a competition to see who can make the fewest assumptions.

I see where you’re coming from, but it bums me out to see companies good and bad be lumped into one amalgam. I think you,’re saying you can’t trust TripleByte because they’re a company, because as you say “you can never trust what a company says”. In this case I actually know Ammon both personally and professionally. I met him when he was already a successful founder and I was a nobody years ago. I’ve had many more interactions with him since then, and my prior when I see something like this that could be a (pretty common) bug or malice is to strongly suspect… a bug.

And I dunno, and maybe this isn’t a popular opinion (thus why using a throwaway account) but I actually think “companies” are actually pretty cool. A “company” made the laptop I’m typing this on (which is way better than the one I had a few years ago, and cheaper). A company got reusable rockets to work, and made the first electric car that many people actually like. I don’t think any of this would be possible without, you know, companies. So I’m definitely, like you, going to take what they say with a grain of salt but I’m not going to blanket say “you can never trust” just because they’re a company.
Exactly. The misunderstanding a lot of ppl have about the OOM killer is, is that the process touching memory which cannot be fulfilled will be killed. This is not the case (for all practial reasonings one shd assume it kills random processes)
I think the burden of proof lies with the people using a particular methodology hoping for a particular effect.
Although clearly bad, at the least in optics, this may also demonstrate how few evil company emails manage to find themselves in the news cycle.

Just saying, you can’t possibly think this is even in the top 100, probably top 1000 of most evil company emails.
It's a problem many women face. Scenario: late night walk home in a quiet street. Suddenly, a group of young males, obviously drunk, approaches from the front.

Most women instinctively cross over to the other side of the road, equating distance with safety, without realizing that this is signaling just the kind of vulnerability that makes them appear as potential prey to a certain type of male predator in the first place.
I'll replace WinDirStat with WizTree. It loads immediately because of reading local disk MFT.
I wonder if any jurisdiction has laws against entrapment against their workers. If not there ought to be a law that forbids employees from setting their workers up for failure.
No, but it's an accident of fate and politics that we had a 5/4 decision establishing an individual right to keep and bear arms subject to almost no local regulation, just like many of the 5/4 decisions conservatives revile. There are decisions that have something approaching unanimity on the court, and I'm comfortable with the idea that we can take as decided the constitutionality of those issues. But Heller? No.

You take the good with the bad! Conservatives hated Obergefell.

My point is simply that the court is politically polarized in both directions.

> In a sea of unscrupulous players (who track what names you search and grab them before you do in case they are any good)

Not really… There are many reputable ones. Gandi, namecheap and cloudflare are ones I can immediately think of. It’s just that some shady ones like GoDaddy do a lot of marketing.

> Would a more rigorously-typed alternate-universe Python have been as successful?

Maybe at some point we'll get TypedPython (like we got TypeScript).

In my opinion that's the way language design should be done.

First discover what semantic people want to use to express themselves and if you got that right enough then try to describe that semantic with a type system as rich as you need to let people express themselves more precisely.

Starting with designing typesystem is too hard and leads to fiasco that kept Haskell in obscurity and spawned whole slew of dynamic languages.

Although maybe we got better at making flexible enough type systems... Rust seems to be doing a lot of stuff right.

That sounds like a good idea that should be added to the WireGuard installer? Perhaps log a feature request?
FWIW from that thread I got the feeling that Ammon truly did not comprehend what the problem was and came back a few days later apologizing and reversing the decision.
Not even overselling it to be honest...
I suspect it is mentioned specifically because payment data falls under PCI regulations and thus adds response requirements.

So stating that such data was not leaked is meant to prevent that additional PCI response step.

The X-1 could break the sound barrier in level flight. That is to say, it could move across geography, in a measurable way, faster than the speed of sound.

You are probably not wrong in your statements about biology influencing behavior, but in my opinion that kind of thinking ignores the fact that we humans are capable of recognizing all of that and acting upon it. We do not have to succumb to our natural baggage.

The problem with making and accepting general statements about the behavior of men and women is that it leads to an incredibly exclusionary society where only the "normal" (per those general statements) can find companionship and happiness.

I'm a man, and I'm straight, but I'm very, very gender-nonconforming. I don't have your typical male traits of being aggressive and competitive and assertive. I'm shy, I'm very sensitive, and my interests are much more "feminine" per our society's norms than "masculine." I'm not handy, I don't go around fixing things in the house. I don't take big risks. I much prefer the cooperative and nourishing work style of women than the competitiveness of men. Perhaps the only typically male thing I have going is being rather strong, thanks to Olympic weightlifting... which I'm attracted to a million times more because of the graceful and aesthetic nature of the movements than any sort of muscle building benefits it might have for my looks. Getting stronger and looking better as a result of practicing it is just a nice side effect.

I struggled with all of that for a long time. I used to be a fan of Jordan Peterson & co, who promote the sort of ideas found in your post. I fell into a really deep depression because I just could not be a socially acceptable Manly Man (TM), unless I was willing to undergo a ridiculous amount of self-inflicted stress to conform to a model of being that's just not who I am.

When my therapist finally convinced me to stop listening to Peterson's ideas, things started getting better. Suddenly, there were possibilities. There are all sorts of people in the world. We're not bound to live strictly by natural laws, because we think and make judgements on people at a much higher level of cognition than simple physical traits.
Fair point. A lot of the dodgy stuff happens in the secondary market, which biased my original note, I’ll edit it if I can
Similar thing here, every couple months for a year, original invitation over two years ago. I haven’t personally been all that bothered by it honestly - it seemed pretty likely that my friend is not sending a new invitation every couple months like clockwork, and presumably I can stop it by clicking once on unsubscribe. But probably it would be better to be explicit that it is not a new invitation.

HN and tech spheres can tend to have more people (especially male) who struggle with socialising with others and romance on top of every other part of the human condition. To that end, I recommend (in order):

Robert Glover - No More Mr. Nice Guy
Mark Manson - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
Mark Manson - Models

For those looking into reading into masculinity (to understand yourself or other masculine people:

David Deida - The Way of the Superior Man
Moore & Gillette - King, Warrior, Magician, Lover
Zan Perrion- The Alabaster Girl

Disclaimer: Some of these books I recommend are not going to be based on much research and science, or delve into more abstract forms of thought and draw inspiration from other sources (e.g. Eastern). Nevertheless I believe they are useful frameworks of thought that can provide value, and it's good to engage more "mythical" ideas at times.
>>However, knowledge and applicability of the law is not fully understood in rural areas, the ones where domestic violence is a more pressing issue.

There's one in Titusville, FL, at the Warbird Air Museum[0] just a few miles from Kennedy Space Center. Well worth a visit for the F-14 alone, it's an awesome sight, but they've also got loads of other great aircraft and knowledgeable staff to help provide insight.

If you're a flight and space geek like me, you'll spend a day or two at KSC and then a full day at the warbird museum. Whenever I find myself in Florida I try to make my way out there, can't recommend it enough!

Thanks for your contribution to this discussion.
An analysis of all the wars that didn't happen, might show otherwise :)

I don't have the evidence to say that it will show otherwise. But we know that any participation in international organizations reduces risks of war, whether by correlation or causation I don't recall.

Either way, armed conflict is becoming less frequent and less violent. One could argue that progress could come faster without NATO, but given that we have no evidence that a dramatically different cause of action will reduce risk of war, and we know that current trajectory is bending towards less war. Maybe staying on the current trajectory isn't so bad :)

Generally speaking, any kind of quick major changes tends to cause conflicts. So even if we did want to end NATO, it's probably be best to do it slowly.

Ideally, we would just slowly extend NATO to cover all countries. That way nobody can attack anyone else :)
I would want countries to be reasonably democratic before they join though...
