In the company I worked for hackers uploaded porn to our disks so I was told. Not sure why maybe they wanted the free disk-space. Or maybe they were planning to blackmail us. Or maybe it was the IT admin who got caught and then claimed it was the hackers.
You're misreading what I'm saying, it's the other way around. fzf doesn't support line wrapping very long lines.

I have really long commands in my shell history and fzf just truncates them, which makes it pretty useless in many cases, since those commands are similar or identical up to 80-100-120 characters.

So in many situations I kind of have to guess which command has the parameter that I want at the end.

It's not that my shell history has lines with line wrap in them, it's that fzf can't show long commands on multiple lines so that I can see the entire command...
This is close. Edit to suit your tastes.

> Maybe just speaking for myself here, but it wouldn't be as valuable to me if I couldn't go to a "legit" company like Coinbase to facilitate turning it into something I can use to buy a car or a house.

Well, I've never used a centralized blockchain service. But then again, I've also transacted for foreign cash while in a bar. Obviously for you though, the value is based on those services. As it's a network effect, you not using it does hurt me a tiny bit multiplied by the number of people like you.

But it's not like it has to be the currency to be almost as useful. Euros aren't taken everywhere yet nobody trades them at a discount in those areas. As long as cryptocurrency works for what I want it to, I don't much care that it's a bit harder to use at the grocery store.

And of course, what's the consequence of the law? Do they shoot you, or do they just treat it as foreign cash or something and tax you at the least favorable rate? A totally ineffective ban could actually help. If you drove it underground enough that nobody declared it (or paid taxes on it) the increased value might help a burgeoning underground economy and help create money-laundering opportunities. And the ban has to be relevant to the use. If the USA banned bitcoin it might actually help other countries more than the diminished value of bitcoin hurt them and that disproportionate benefit could be the catalyst to make the system more useful overall.

Already the USA has effectively banned most cryptocurrency by limiting what Americans can invest in and who they can invest through, but because of the halo effect Americans can buy BTC and ride the general wave despite not participating in some of the other opportunities directly. The limited ban did almost nothing despite your logic being fairly sound.
I set my fonts larger in Android sepecifically... I can still double-tap/zoom if I need larger images. It's the reading that tends to be the most problematic.

I'm far sighted, so see most things without glasses fine.. I have glasses at my desk, but don't tend to have them on me when out/about and trying to use my phone.
My "argument"[1] rests on the idea that they don't care about restrictions on Kindle apps because there's no valuable market of buyers on the other side, and so it's not about "anti-competitive" as claimed.

The famous and expensive London shop Harrods has a reputation for a wealthy customer base, and it's like saying it's unfair that you have to convince Harrods to stock your products and then they take a cut of all sales for doing so, and that you should be able to sell to their specific wealthy customer base and use their trusted environment for doing so, using the reputation they've developed, without them getting anything in return, and their shop should be an open street market.

It’s very easy to say “greed” because we want to believe bad things are always the fault of someone’s personal moral failings. Hopefully the tech community will start to realize that when the same problems keep occurring for the same reasons, it points to a systemic failure.
What makes Republicans deserve denunciation as anti-science on climate change is not their rejection of left wing solutions. It is their rejection of right wing solutions, too.

There are conservatives working to address climate change. Here was a plan [1] from a bunch of people who were prominent members of the Nixon, Reagan, and Bush administrations, for example. It's economically and scientifically sound. Good luck getting Republicans currently in Congress to even consider that.

I am not a fan over super flatness and hence I appreciate a fake-3D button.

But in the same way that many great computer games ALSO don't try for ultra-realism, I don't think it needs to model the real world as much as it does.

Things I'd do without:

- rising on hover. Colour change is enough acknowledgement.

- shadow. Having the two coloured layers is enough.

- spring-like overshoot behaviour. Simple down+up is fine.

But it is always cool to see a nicely written "I want to achieve this; this is how" article. +1 to author.
Fair enough, found the documentation:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/troub...

It does require connecting to the working instance first and setting things up, which is less than ideal, but I get why it's the case. I guess I'm off to configure the Windows instances I care about, so I have a way to troubleshoot things in the future.
Also, why is this such a big deal?

Just change the name and change it back, the media can have at it, not their problem. Ultimately it's the car that matters.
> I can't help but feel like having it this way is breaking one of the huge reasons that made computers so absurdly exciting and enticing in the past.

We live in a bubble, so it was exciting for us.

The iPhone was exciting for everyone, for the whole world, and in no small part because normal people finally felt confident enough to try all that sweet sweet software that became available thanks to people like you who don't need a safety net to tinker with stuff.
The tail is wagging the dog here. A pretty genius marketing move proved to be too clever by half for corporate strategy-types, resulting in lost potential. They will not get this genie back in the bottle - the thrill is gone.
And you can easily load PDFs and music onto an iPhone/iPad without going through the Apple store or iTunes store. So they're even and that's good enough for Kindle therefore it's good enough for iOS, right?

Oh wait, on top, iOS has an app store so you can do more, so that's a win for iOS? And the app store can have free apps on it where Apple take no money, but still review and curate for some minimum standards of quality, which is nice.

You don't think there was a range of views. And anyone who disagreed with your view had no skin in the game and so can be ignored. I disagree with that.
So what, you are suggesting a strategy of staying away from large services and hoping that you won't be targeted?

I posit that it doesn't take burning a zero day, or a coordinated effort by the CIA, the FSB, and Randy Waterhouse to break the typical DIY self-hosted security implementation. (And that the manager paying someone to build it has no ability to tell between a great, a good and a bad DIY job.)
Again by definition "zoom text only" is meant to change the proportions of the design, that the proportions of the design were changed accordingly is not proof the design method is wrong it's proof only text was zoomed. If you use em for everything as a "fix" for this you've actually just broken the whole point of "zoom text only" as it just became functionally identical to "zoom". I.e. there is no way to reconcile "zoom text only" not changing the proportions of the design and having a meaningful "zoom text only" at the same time. That something can't do both is therefore proof of nothing.

The same as above is true for the root font size discussion, if you set it relative and base the page layout on relative than the user's default font size setting also just turns into a proxy for a full page zoom. Again it's not proof in itself that one is right or wrong it's just that you're either going to stomp on the users default font preference by making it zoom everything instead or you're going to have a design that looks wonky for users with high custom font sizes because the layout wasn't made for big text.

Every time you write something like Foo.Bar, the type of the value returned by Foo is implicit - i.e. it's exactly like var. Do you never dot-chain properties and method calls? If you do, why should it be any different when some intermediate step in the chain gets a name?

That assumes that all other costs are fixed and not variable. Bell Canada as quoted (BCE), highlights that the financial math is actually “we can fire a lot of people if we switch to fibre optic because maintenance costs are lower,” but not expressed in that language, of course.

The point then is that regardless of timeline, rolling out fibre optic is more profitable than not doing so, on a long-term basis.

Also, prices did not stay at $100, they actually jumped to well over $200 when you consider both the highest speed tiers and the sales of expanded television plans and digital services. It’s not impossible but it’s really, really hard to sell people premium 4K subscriptions to Netflix and other add-ons when you only offer 15/1 ADSL or have to start paying for two circuits to get VDSL, and that still neglects the very expensive infrastructure upkeep for copper-based networks, the variety of DSL modems in use, and other connectivity challenges posed by distance-to-CO problems.

Ultimately, fibre keeps customers happy and happier customers spend more. That’s the logic these companies should be using…

one advantage of a self-hosted repository is that the PHP developers may be able to figure out to some extent who cloned this backdoored version.
I've never been able to recreate it, but I have been dumped back at the desktop without entering my password on one occasion. The machine didn't appear to be responding at the lock screen, so I hit enter a couple of times then tried Ctrl-Alt-Del. The screen went blue (the same blue as the screen that normally shows Lock/Switch User/Task Manager after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del at desktop), then after 3-4 seconds just put me back at the desktop.

FWIW, this was a somewhat buggy install of Windows 10 (Settings->Devices->Add a Bluetooth device would crash reliably), so I don't particularly expect this to be widespread/reproducible.
> Either you're talking about a World War scale conflict or a regional conflict. "Major conflict in Europe" is by definition regional, because you've constrained it to Europe. If it doesn't involve Europe, it can't be a World War.

This assumes mice would gain an evolutionary advantage by being venomous.

Mice survive as a species by reproducing fast and hiding, not by biting other animals to teach them a lesson. In order to exploit venom's potential they would need to undo their risk-averse behavior around other animals, which may not be in their best interest as a species.
With default methods in interfaces, we already have multiple inheritance of behavior, which is really the interesting part (data can always be aggregated and wrapped).
Publications have pre-written obituaries for famous people to make sure they can respond immediately when somebody famous dies. Occasionally these obituaries get published in response to incorrect rumors or simply through some kind of internal error—always a bit awkward!
This is correct. Customer double spend risk is not what’s ring discussed here. The risk is PayPal losing money on the spread. A user buys a pair of shoes with bitcoin, PayPal pays the shop owner fiat and takes ownership of the bitcoin. Now PayPal is on the hook for selling that bitcoin if they want to keep their cash flow in fiat. The price of bitcoin can move wildly in the time it takes for a Bitcoin transaction to settle. In reality PayPal is a huge company and can sell to many brokers who will take on the risk for PayPal.
What's weight?
> The whole point is that Apple is selling an Apple experience

Once you bought a thing, you own it. That's it. It's cool to have a curated app store for those developers who want it. It's uncool for Apple to retain control of devices after they've been sold.

> This is like a restaurant demanding smart shoes for customers

You can't make this comparison. You don't get to choose what kind of mobile device other people use. You do get to choose which restaurant you visit.

> Apple is successful by building a curated, restricted, "exclusive" (by perception if not fact) experience.

Apple is successful by building great hardware and mostly good UX. Macs have had no app store for most of their history, and even though presently do have restrictions by default, there's a manual override to allow running unsigned or self-signed code.

> You want access to the customers and their money, without upholding the reasons the customers are using that platform.

I'm having issue with there being a gatekeeper AT ALL. I don't give a crap about "their customers" and "their money". I just want to make an app and distribute it straight to my users. That's it. Apple forcibly inserting itself in between me and my users doesn't do any good to either side. Especially if it's a free app and I'm doing my own marketing. It's simply a rent-seeking prude intermediary that creates more problems than it solves.

People buy smartphones because you need one to function in the modern society. They choose either Google or Apple. Neither of these corporations deserves all the credit they feel entitled to.

> Apple never marketed or set expectations that you could sideload apps on iPhone or iOS, did they?

Apple set expectations that you can do pretty much anything on an iOS device.

> You can easily list your app on Apple's store and compete, what it's about is you want more money.

I don't give a crap about money. I despise intellectual property and proprietary software. I'll never sell a byte.

I'm simply sick and tired of how relentlessly Apple wants to eradicate sex and piracy form the internet, for example. Even if you have a free app, Apple literally dictates you how you should change your ToS to be approved on the app store. Is that acceptable? I don't think so. No one should have this kind of power. If the web was invented today, a web browser would be rejected from the app store for allowing the user to view any content without restrictions.

Meanwhile they approve all sorts of scam apps, like a bunch of wallpapers with a $20/week subscription on it. Because they take a 30% cut on those. This is hypocrisy.
I had to do a double-take; Rust, one of the languages leading the mainstream away from nullables, was created by Graydon Hoare (I looked it up and there's no relation to Tony)

But yeah: I once heard Go described as "a C fan-fiction". It was designed by and for people who use and like C, and just wanted some niceties built on top of it for their usecase of writing distributed systems (garbage collection, strings, easy networking and multithreading, easy cross-platform builds, very basic polymorphism). It was not designed by people who were interested in stepping back and re-evaluating the big picture beyond those practical necessities

I see it as C++ (literally, "C improved"), for the modern world (instead of the 80s). For all the good and bad that implies.

Bobby Kotick has a PR department, strong incentives not to antagonise the community he sells to, and enough power within his company to fire anyone who does.

It's an unfortunate reality that if my local supermarket fires a bunch of workers for trying to unionise, but my neighbour gets in a screaming match with me because he thinks I scratched his car's paint, then I'll be mildly disappointed by the supermarket but frothing mad about my neighbour. It doesn't even matter what the confrontation is about: I'll be frothing mad about any topic that my neighbour brings up if he's screaming it at me, the medium is the message.
Got it, that makes sense. If you're able to hire private security from developing nations that still have good military programs (e.g. S. Africa, Philippines, Russia) then it's probably not all that expensive (if you can get them). Hmm, when I was thinking about unlicensed fishing I was more thinking about foreign nations taking advantage of poorer ones that can't control their maritime zones but the causal chain of what you described is quite clear.

I once worked on the same floor as an online magazine publishing group. Their niche included reporting on famous figures within a specific domain. In order to be able to react to news of a famous figure's death, they had pre-written memorial articles for any of these figures whose age seemed to suggest their time was near. Unfortunately, a bug in the CMS and/or a fat finger occasionally allowed one of these pre-prepared obituaries to go live while the famous person was still alive.

Another interesting thing I observed: since that magazine was also owned by the central organization in their domain, they sometimes had to take down interesting articles (e.g. about this organization's holdings or business dealings) after receiving a phone call from somebody important.
Sorry, yes, that wasn't the best written sentence. :) I wouldn't actually say the problem is laziness. Developers are famously lazy. It's more of a problem of malignantly wielded protected status. A helpful analogy to the non-unionized world might be a manager's pet employee or a nepotic hire. A bad union environment systemically rewards this in addition to reducing wages through dues and reduced opportunity for good workers.

Wage theft is serious, but has enforcement paths independent of the presence of a union and if reform is needed, it should start there.

I am sympathetic to the plight of the poor but they can be harmed by labor practices supposedly friendly to them.
This is neat!

This might be a dumb question, but how far out are really accurate predictions of satellite locations good for without measurement?

Or a full degree (I'm guessing many years)?
Yeah, and its not like the Leaf is great. It is fairly recent that they've started making cars as good as the Model 3 and Y.

In a similar vein, can the radios be physically removed from any newer cars without the car complaining about it?
