How would you handle a user ceasing their account and asking you to remove data you no longer need to provide them with service?

Under GDPR you'd be required to really delete that. Obviously GDPR laws don't hold everywhere but are you saying you'd just hold the user's data forever or that you'd have a later clean up process or something?

> basically stealing by using the item and then returning it

If the item is in a condition where it can be resold at full price (aka you can't even tell whether it's been used), does it matter? If anything, it reduces waste.

If it's not in a resellable condition, then the store should discount the refund by a reasonable amount to make up for it. We don't need yet more scummy entities like credit bureaus which you can't opt out of.

I'm also not confident that improving the retailers' margins is going to trickle down to lower prices for consumers as opposed to go into some executive's pocket or get pissed away in marketing/advertising spend.
Examples (I just picked two random places and dates for temperature records for the month of December at least 20 years apart):

Miami Florida December 2000 (peak day-average is 77.08): https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/fl/miami/KMI...

Miami Florida December 2020 (peak day-average is 76.69): https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/fl/miami/KMI...

Honolulu, Hawaii December 1995 (peak day-average is 79.92): https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/hi/honolulu/...

Honolulu, Hawaii December 2020 (peak day-average is 79.54): https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/hi/honolulu/...

You can use that site to look up the same month 20+ years apart in any place and it clearly shows that there is no significant change at all. You can browse the surrounding years to get a better feeling because there can be random 2 to 3 degree fluctuations but my point is that these fluctuations can go either way and there is no correlation with time.

TBH, I'm surprised that, given that there is an incentive for meteorologists to fake the data (since global warming is their bread and butter) that it's still possible to see proper data which certainly matches my personal observations. IMO it's a matter of time before they start faking historical data. Good we have waybackmachine https://archive.org/web/

I was going to say this as well. There have been recordings from aircraft hud cams of UFO’s. This doesn’t address the OPs question about hallucinations or hysteria or whatever, but it does give a little credence to a claim of a UFO. I’ve seen a UFO, by definition, something unidentified, unknown, then it was gone.

My grandfather told stories of things he saw flying for Eastern Airlines and later American Airlines. My uncles who flew F-16s all saw strange things too.

Ask any aviator that’s been flying heavy for 10+ years what strange things they have seen and they’ll have some stories.

I’m glad we, as a people, are talking about it, without jumping to conclusions about what these objects are.

According to the BBC the shooter himself posted and live steamed on Facebook [0]. "Someone", possibly the shooter or possibly someone watching him on Facebook, crossposted it to 8ch. I think a lot of times the alt websites get hate for stuff that's clearly happening on the mainstream websites as well. I'd estimate that the alt websites have much higher concentrations of hate, but probably less overall hate than the mainstream websites.

While learning Vim, I went through the `vimtutor` many times until I felt really comfortable. After that you can try more advanced stuff (I applied the same pattern with the oni[0] built-in tutorial). Last but not least there are Youtube channels: theprimeagen[1] and Greg Hurell[2] come to my mind. I particularly recommend theprimeagen (he is a Netflix engineer) because he has videos about real-life workflow. And speaking about real life, I was amazed by this video[3] the first time I saw it, it's a very good introduction to macros.

Reading through the explanation IMO the problem is not that Apple wants to force VPN apps to use frameworks and a distribution model they feel best fits their security/safety model. There are good arguments to be made for that. The problem is that the framework itself is just shitty and Apple should improve it.

This is one of the things I dislike most about Apple: even despite the high price I pay for their products and (subsequently) the astronomical profits they make, somehow they seem to be completely unable to simply address these kinds of problems as soon as they pop up and make everyone happy again. It's also in Apple's own interest to make sure VPN extensions can automatically update in case of potential security problems, no? So why they don't just throw enough resources at it to make it work really is beyond me.

There's a lot to like about Apple products but their culture towards addressing problems that affect their paying customers is becoming increasingly off-putting, especially since they have basically been printing money for over ~10 years now and have no excuses to not improve these kinds of things.

Curious about the date response part.

You overestimate the importance of software development and licensing in the life of the average person. Most people never interact with a software developer or even understand what they do, much less submit bug reports and feature requests to open source projects.
“The end of CentOS could have the unintended effect of undermining the demand for ultra-stable ‘enterprise’ distributions in general.”

That seems possible. Perhaps like the UNIX of old, Solaris et al, the ultra-stable ‘enterprise’ Linux distributions will retreat to large enterprise customers?
The users are there and are wanting good software that they are even willing to pay for! Jumping through hoops is just a price to pay for it. I also like servicing demanding users ; Apple users demand software that works full stop.
The idea is very interesting although at the moment it seems to cover only popular choices. I tried to look for prolog and I found no results at all. Same for other topics like knowledge database or petri networks for which google is just a better option.

I do not doubt that some of them are crazy, but all of them? With what mental illness?

Not crazy, necessarily, but lacking critical thinking skills. I have seen things in the sky that I didn't know for certain what they were. I did not make the leap from, "I don't know," to "alien spacecraft," however. Some people come up with the most bizarre explanations for really rather mundane things, and then convince themselves of the truth of it. If someone is already primed with the bizarre idea, they are more likely to see it, too.

I have to disagree with the others.
Since AlphaZero I think chess is closed to being solved.
Technically it is not, but practically is is.

Chess is a hard game to solve completely, and I think
one reason is that there are many states in chess where there is not one superior move, but only a probable optimal move, in the sense that the game-tree for winning against the move is smaller than other moves.
Then the agent/player has to guess what the opponents strategy is given that move, and that depends on the opponent.

I plays are truly creative, and its results speak for itself.

From wiki:
"In AlphaZero's chess match against Stockfish 8 (2016 TCEC world champion), each program was given one minute per move. Stockfish was allocated 64 threads and a hash size of 1 GB,[1] a setting that Stockfish's Tord Romstad later criticized as suboptimal. AlphaZero was trained on chess for a total of nine hours before the match. During the match, AlphaZero ran on a single machine with four application-specific TPUs. In 100 games from the normal starting position, AlphaZero won 25 games as White, won 3 as Black, and drew the remaining 72. In a series of twelve, 100-game matches (of unspecified time or resource constraints) against Stockfish starting from the 12 most popular human openings, AlphaZero won 290, drew 886 and lost 24."

In case the author is reading this, I recently started using Wireguard in Mac OS with the Mac app and the experience has been great.

Not only is it much faster other VPNs that I used in the past, but compared to other clients (Forticlient and Tunnelblick), the overall experience feels much nicer, IMO.

Thank you so much for your work!
What I've found since I started avoiding visibly branded clothing is that a lot of small vendors of organic/ethical/sustainable clothing seem to share my aversion to visible branding. At worst, they'll have the logos on tags sewn onto the clothing, instead of embroidered or printed on.
I love Jason’s response and think it carries the right tone and is delivered near flawlessly. It’s clearly frustrating to deal with Apple’s platform lockdown, and he captures such in a professional and rational manner. Bravo.

What bothers me is that I’ve experienced an increasing number of maintainers of supposed cross platform projects simply not care about macOS anymore to the extent that they’re openly hostile towards macOS users. I know what you do is free and I have no entitlement to anything from you, but don't antagonize me when I add suggestions to open discussion and feature requests to your issue tracker to try and help participate in improving the way your project works on macOS. I’m probably willing to do some work but also need to get the lay of the land first.

I would challenge those maintainers to be honest. Yes, it’s your time, but if you’re not interested in spending it actually supporting macOS, don't market your project as a cross platform. Like it or not the macOS platform is changing and if you’re not along for the ride don’t grief everyone who is (either by choice or by requirement).

Just to be crystal clear: Json does not fall in this bucket, but this topic in general seems all too familiar lately.
Even as an engineer, I usually draw a line between "stuff I like to hack on" and "core system components that I'd rather not touch." I'm fine pulling a dependency from nightly for a project I'm working on, or because some program I use has a cool new feature I want to play with. But I probably wouldn't do that with, say, openssh.

I can certainly sympathize with this:

> and then waiting up to 12 months (if I'm on a six-month release tempo OS) for the fix to be available

but the needs of system administrators are not the same as the needs of developers. That's why my development machine is on a rolling release, but my servers run Debian stable with as few out-of-repository extras as possible.

Those servers are really fucking reliable, and I don't need a massive team to manage them. Maybe this sort of "boring" system administration isn't as popular as it used to be with all of that newfangled container orchestration stuff, but this is the core of the vendoring argument.

Installing who-knows-what from who-knows-where can work if you're Google, but it really sucks if you're one person trying to run a small server and have it not explode every time you poke at it.

Exact same issue here, i love the idea of it but until there is a universal OAuth I will stop using it. I’ve also not deleted Facebook despite mostly wanting to because I know it’s my OAuth for many services and some make it very hard to change.
Over the years I've learned there's a class of users that simply don't read.

Example: for GitLab we stopped using the repository that used to host the code for GitLab CE. All issues were closed, and when you create a new issue there's a template active that basically says "Don't create issues here". In spite of that, people still create issues here, and in some cases don't even bother changing that template.
> These don't sound like things that the Russian government or any nation state would be saying.

This goes both ways: Or they would be exactly the kind of things a government would say to dispel any notion of it being a government.

> Makes the U.S. intelligence / media look stupid. And if it turns out that it is some individuals that happen to live in Russia, it still makes the U.S. look stupid.

I wonder whatever happened to that whole mantra of the early 2000s and 2010s when governments would regurgitate the difficulty in dealing with "cyber" due to the "asymmetric" nature of "cyber warfare"?

Somehow that was completely forgotten over the last decade in favor of blaming any and all InfoSec breaches instantly on some state actor.

One has to wonder how much of that is just deflecting from bad practices with "The enemy is a state, nothing we could do to defend against an attacker that powerful!" in favor over admitting "Yeah some autistic dude in his parents basement pwned all our stuff because our security is completely amateurish".
Incredible that people are so wired and ready to be outraged that they'd send off angry emails on christmas eve after reading someone else's problems with a piece of software.
There are indeed a handful of truly unidentified and truly interesting cases, but I stress that unidentified does not equate to alien spacecraft. That is an unjustified leap that far too many people are all too willing to make.

How is all of this supposed to be determined at a return counter in the 2 min interaction between a retail employee and customer?

As a customer, I would only like to buy an item that came from the factory. Especially anything electronic, there’s almost no way for me to discern if someone has damaged it otherwise. I also don’t see how manufacturers could be held liable for warranties if they aren’t sure one the chain of custody.

> I'm also not confident that improving the retailers' margins is going to trickle down to lower prices for consumers as opposed to go into some executive's pocket or get pissed away in marketing/advertising spend.

If retail businesses had pricing power, they would be asking for more than razor thin profit margins. Retail
executives aren’t currently turning away dollars from their pocket, they don’t have access to them in the first place since competing retailers will take their business if they try to.

I think it all boil down to manpower. Rust crates need a limited set of compat packages and have a way smaller ecosystem than nodejs. Node developers tend to use as many dependencies they can, resulting in hundreds of deps per app. Rust programs have generally less than 10 direct dependencies, and at worst less than a hundred indirect dependencies, so it is still manageable.
There were some unusual 'hottest on record' last year in the summer in some parts of Europe.

So why is media treating this differently from when Zero Hedge posted the contact information of a head of a lab in Wuhan that was conducting research into coronaviruses carried by bats? In that case, the person’s contact information was also public and it was intended as such on the lab’s own website, since he was the public face of it. And yet Zero Hedge was attacked by news media and posts on social media as “doxxing” the researcher. Twitter even banned them “permanently” for it, only to reverse the ban months later.

Another consideration is that even if email addresses and phone numbers aren’t in the dump, there is EXIF data with locations and orientation. If this person was at all ethical and responsible they would have stripped everything that could identify a person out. But she didn’t, because the same rules don’t matter when it’s a leftist (she’s a self-described “anarcho socialist”) is attacking political enemies from the right. And no social media or news media is taking this down or even describing it in negative terms.

It’s hard for me to see all this as anything but shameless double standards.
