I use my tabs like a stack. The bookmarks are the long term overflow.

At the end of the day the stack is closed out or put into bookmarks for later looking at. I then have a set of folders of 'look at later'. If later is greater than some time period I just delete the whole folder. Once a month I look at the overflow. Most of the time it is more of a 'why did I care about this' and just blow it away. It is a variation of the empty mail box. Inbox needs to be done. Then the 'done' folder. There is no real stack or tree. That way lies madness (I have tried).

I try to keep my tabs in context of whatever I am doing. I max out about 10-20 (6 at the moment). Past anything like that and most of them are useless.

Bookmarks are for 'I know I will need this in the future' everything else I can search for again.
aes 256 is as strong as the decryption key . even as few as 7 words from a 2000-word dictionary should thwart any attackers. A slow KDF makes it all but impossible.
Sure. I don't think that's the best way to behave. But I also don't like a VC moralizing over us.

And still, in reality, in an economy like our, that's what you get.
Not all EU people. Some still need visas for the US.
I tend to think of code much more like "poetry" than "prose". Programming languages provide required "meter", "rhyme", and other similar "format requirements" like poetry styles. Style guides and lint tools even further "refine" the "poetry style" agreed on by a development effort. I haven't found any particular use for this analogy for deep insights (there rarely were collectives focused on long form poetry in history, depending on what you think of oral storytelling traditions and/or if you agree with conspiracy theories that the output attributed to William Shakespeare was more of a collective effort than a lone auteur), but I still find it an interesting analogy.
CIA Officer Became ‘Formidable Foe’ of U.S. Government
He wasn't really a dumbass, he was annoying because he loved to jabber and would interrupt me when I was busy. And I was young and cocky.

But since you asked I'll tell you. At the time I did modifications on vehicles (Ford Econoline Vans) for Q4 and Q5 quadriplegics to drive. I'd cut out and lower the floors and cut off the metal roof and put a fiberglass shell on it, like a camper or shuttle bus has. I'd been doing that since a was 14 year old kid with my father who was a custom car builder and I took over my father's business doing that when I was 20 years old.

So, I made a "roll cage" the way my father made it out of rectangular steel tube because those fiberglass tops are pretty unsafe without them. And that's what I was working on when he offered his advice, which was to have a mutual friend who built race cars make those for me the same way he made his race car roll cages, out of round steel tube bent with an hydraulic tube bender.

The guy who made the bent tubes for me could to that in a fraction of the time it took me to cut and bend and weld that rectangular steel tube. I still had to design and install those reinforcements but it cost much less to have them prefabbed and took far less time to install them and I got paid the same and the design was stronger.

By that time I had done many favors for that guy who recommended that because he owned a race car, a "Figure Eight" car, that I donated many hours of my time to keep him racing. So, yeah, all things considered he was compensated quite well because I sent him work too.

We both did good.

I'd be surprised if there weren't already something out there to do this. Darling [1] already translates in the opposite direction with little difficulty; I'm not aware of any fundamental reason that you couldn't emulate Linux syscalls on XNU.

"Must" and "Must Not" are keywords in formal spec. If it says "Must support up to 100" and doesn't say "Must Not support over 100" then I would consider the upper limit to be whatever limit is sane for the data type.
That is an interesting point. One of the the reasons for the Florida Man meme is due to the state's sunshine laws, which makes nearly all government records and proceedings, those dealing with arrest, public. That leads to a lot of embarrassing stories about rednecks molesting alligators, but it also allowed for the uncovering of a massive Minority Report-tier scheme of police officers continually harassing citizens marked by an algorithm as a "potential future criminal"

Lots of people in the medical/scientific community expected this result. The best explanation I have heard is that the vaccine companies planned these sub-optimal trials with 2-3 weeks between shots, because it meant getting the vaccines to market much more quickly. Instead of having vaccines available in December, they might not have been available until February.

So far, the evidence is pretty compelling that the vaccines have continued efficacy 6-7 months post-administration. It's obviously impossible to know much beyond a couple months however.
I'm curious about the potential legal basis for such a fine.

I clicked on your link, half expecting to get rick-rolled, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself back on this same page.... but also kinda disappointed. :)

+1 for avoiding the temptation.
If you think a mug shot makes someone look guilty, do you not believe someone is innocent until proven guilty?

Perhaps that the real issue. People don't understand how the justice system works. People put too much blind faith in cops.
I also live in Colombia. Being a landlord is definitely something that I might consider doing in the future. My current landlord does shit and we still have to pay 950.000 COP. Me and my wife cannot even move to a better place because there's not enough extra money to do the switch. Renting sucks, specially in third world countries.
I’m going to waste my time writing an opinion article that makes a polarized claim about something I know or care nothing about.

“Hacker” is being left out of news!
Without breaking down my reasoning (which was pretty half-baked and underthought)--I was just trying to understand the OP's point.

OP used all kinds of language we associate with governments doing sketchy stuff: "what could be sold as reasonable doubt to shut down the pipeline"; "created the impetus" ("impetus" is often used to claim the real motivations were something else); "political cover"; etc.

I just didn't know how else to interpret all the cloak-and-dagger language about the US's behavior. Personally, it seems to me like our response was pretty reasonable. I think the "government takes advantage of crises" line of argument only goes so far, and at its extreme leads to dumb stuff like 9/11 truthers.
>>I don't have to fight my OS.

You've just described fighting your OS.

I mean, sure, if you like customizing things and "padding your desktop", knock yourself out. The last thing I want to do on my machine is spending any time doing that.

> I don't really see how a Mac elevates your workflow that much

You listed package manager, coreutils, and VPN. That.... That is a minuscule part of a programmer's workflow. And for the vast majority of people who end up using Macs as their development machines these three are a non-issue.

Primer sets up the big reveal as a mystery. It intentionally obfuscates what's going on while dropping hints.

Knowing too much basically makes this part of the story structure a waste of time, and I don't see why the writers and directors would have sculpted such misdirection unless it was to surprise the viewer.
At least in a bull market, it seems safe to assume that an asset like BTC or ETH will not suddenly decrease by over 50%.
Thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated.

We are actively working on several ideas in this space. (One of the most important that was released in 4.0 is the redesign of the Reply button to make starting a reply feel like it does in other chat tools).

I expect we'll be able to get into a really nice place with a combination of new settings with some mixture of "Easy mode" defaults, design changes, and onboarding adjustments. (We will do this while carefully preserving model/paradigm, in case anyone's worried). Feel free to stop by chat.zulip.org if you want to discuss specifics.

FWIW, we regularly hear from large organizations, including some with thousands of nontechnical users, about their having great luck migrating to Zulip. Usually they tell us they did a 30-minute training and then things went smoothly from there, or they didn't and it took a couple weeks for some users to get the hang of it.

In the scheme of things, doing a training is a pretty minimal investment to be able to use a better product for hundreds of hours a year. But of course Zulip would grow a lot faster if nobody worried whether their nontechnical users will thrive on it, so this area is a priority for us.

Ins't the easy answer. Each time a dev want to ignore valid comments.

I have the following electron app running: Spotify, Figma, VS Code, Discord, Slack.
They all use more than 1 helper. Consuming between 600mb to 3.5gb.

Slack is much better than it was. But I wish they switch to something like Tauri or Wails in the future.
Is this the same "zstd" compression used in Fedora's btrfs transparent block level compression? I have been thoroughly impressed with it in Fedora 34. If that's true, I had no idea that it was a Facebook project. Color me shocked.
"And, by examination of evidence, everyone who has received a vaccine for covid is protected from it."

Are you saying that every covid vaccine has 100 % efficacy? ("everyone", "a vaccine"). AFAIK this is not true for any extant vaccine.

After removing WhatsApp months ago, I still can't get my wife to remove it. All of her family use it heavily, and she is big on keeping in touch with them all, so I don't blame her. I'm not sure what the solution is now, perhaps the EU can bring about some kind of GDPR like regulation, but I won't hold my breath.

What a sad state of affairs we've landed in... Thanks Mark.
We all do. Everybody who's ever worked in security hates that even the tiniest hole in your security will be squeezed through. If you don't distrust every single packet, then sooner or later one of those packets is going to destroy you.

It's basically the same both ways. You don't trust them with your private info. They don't trust you, either. The easiest way is, indeed, to just call the whole thing off.

Everybody would love an alternative that lets more get done with less trust. Sometimes they find them, for limited cases. But nobody's solved it for the general case.
No you're just making things up. The link you posted doesn't support your statement.
Can confirm that my kids often come home having learned some trick, craft, joke, or rhyme from the other kids, that I also learned from other kids in school. One supposes adults may have a role in keeping these alive, but the larger effect seems to just be older kids passing down the knowledge to younger grades (their younger siblings, maybe) who spread the memes among themselves, generation after generation.
After 2 months with a macbook supplied by my employer, I am literally begging to go back to a Windows or Linux machine.

I just don't understand how you can possibly be productive with these things if you have to do anything out of the norm. It's like bureaucracy as an operating system.
Original its terror for terrors' sake to disrupt society not for individual aims is my understanding.

Once the issue at hand got to moral perceptions of governments that operate on codes of law hundreds of thousands of pages in size that are administered by 100,000+ people.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to suggest that not everything that public opinion supports is a result of a common sense assessment of all of its aspects. If that were actually the case, we wouldn't need to have courts of law decide on cases. We would just let opinion polls do it. But we do need courts of law, because for complex issues, we need a jury of our peers to deliberate on the issue before reaching a judgment on it.
One of the other issues that your comment shines a light on is that police often book someone under multiple charges. A safe one that the person is likely to be able to be convicted on, and multiple charges that probably don't apply to the situation.

This is common because it gives prosecutors the power to "offer" to drop the higher charges in exchange for accepting a plea bargain to the lower, and likely more appropriate, charges.

The result of this is that booking information, with the photos, from a drunken bar fight might show the person was charged with assault with a deadly weapon when the final charge will end up being something like disorderly conduct.

Durgod k320 is dirt cheap and supports QMK firmware. I haven’t tried the firmware myself as the default is fine. I don’t customise my stuff heavily so I don’t have problems using other peoples computers occasionally.
> I got downvoted for saying that maybe it's time to treat serious ransomware attacks (infrastructure, security, health, etc.) as terrorism - as in the sense that they're a threat to the national security.

Well... yes? That isn't a sense of the word "terrorism".
You could ask the same about anyone who submits their articles there. Because, you know, we could all revolt and submit our manuscripts only to the open-access journals.
Because the touchpad works.

And my dev is in the cloud (mostly).
I don't understand the "having a million tabs open workflow" that seems so common

I frequently move 1-2 tabs to the left side and use "close tabs to right". Probably do this 4-5 times per day.

If I end up needing something I just look in history or ctrl + shift + t to get it back.

Having too many open feels super distracting to me and makes it harder to focus.

I also use bookmarks a lot too, so that might be the difference.
Expecting the company to continue operating after freezing data on the "business side" seems strange to me.
Possibly, but even if it's airtight, good luck with actually filing a lawsuit about it, getting it through the courts, getting a decision in your favor, and actually enforcing it against a corp with a much bigger legal budget than you before they eat you for breakfast in the market.
> They're working around a weakness in the language. Stack traces in exceptions are definitely a feature.

OK, I understand this is your position. I don't share it, nor do the authors of the language. So I guess it's not a truism.
And yet they have no hesitation to use the entire national security apparatus to chase a foreign national around the world for publishing some scientific papers.
This isn't a tuning problem.

This is the result of letting cooperations own communication channels, something we were escaping until smartphone apps became popular.
From what I hear, the Bay Area seems especially mask-wearing at this point. I live in the well known Trump bastion of Massachusetts 
 and, while I don't know what things are like in Boston proper, an hour west where I live, essentially no one is wearing masks at this point on hiking trails and the like. People may do the theater of pulling up a bandana for a few seconds to pass but that's mostly it. (People are still mostly wearing inside though.)
I suppose one step we can take is to not put so much blind faith in cops. They get arrests wrong. I do think politicians, cops and the media all have a role to play though.
the thing that's quite astonishing to me is the incredible level of involvement by the deep state on this issue in particular. I mean obviously a countries interests are the interests of its business community, but I wouldn't think naturally that sci-hub falls under the realm of things that say, the FBI would be concerned with.
India seems to be a special case, as only 4.8% of the population is above 65.

Apart from India it seems that Japan should take notes, it's quite a surprise to me that only 1% of the population has been fully vaccinated.

No wonder they are reluctant to let spectators be present for the olympics.

I wouldn't say "usually" anymore. I was just able to mash 18 keys at once on my non-exotic keyboard and have them independently register. NKRO over USB isn't that rare now.
The Kinesis Freestyle is absolutely fantastic.
Purely medical implications of such tech are more profound than I can imagine. And people have been imagining it for decades.

Can you even imagine StarCraft or Quake matches, or better yey, some completely new games developed for brain computer interface? Man, it's VERY exciting.
> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I don't understand how you could read that and interpret it as a right for anything other than the people?
Sure. Creates a lot of nice evidence for you to present in the lawsuit over the next decade (if you can afford it).
Of course from the perspective of the website operator it’s great, but from the perspective of the user it’s frustrating.

I’m not sure whether this is true, but it seems like with Firefox I get these captchas much more often than with Chrome. Sometimes they’re so difficult to solve it really takes a minute or two to do so, and it’s incredibly disturbing / an unfriendly interaction.

Surely there must be a better way to deal with this? Why do I have to keep proving again and again and again to Cloudflare I am, in fact, a person?
It’s amazing how much more expensive mechanical keyboards are now than when I bought my first one. There are $50 ones from China that break after 6 months, but most set you back $100-200 now. The prices doubled from years ago for the same tech
There's something very practical about postfix and stack based languages like Forth - compactness and simplicity. Just couple weeks ago I had the need to build a small language with the requirement of terse and compact syntax. I settled on a Forth-like stack based language and was able to build the parser, compiler, and code gen to GPU in about 80 lines of JS code in a short time.
I completely agree that the device is not for him and that this is far from a high quality review.

My point is more that I read the comments on HN before the article and there were almost accusing him of being voluntarily badmouthing starlink and the product, whereas the article still has some nuance.
A couple years ago I realized that if I had a good terminal environment, all I really needed was a terminal, browser, and IDE.

So, by using Linux, I lose, I dunno, iPhoto and iCal and whatever, but I gain real Linux with a real Linux package manager and immediate access to the latest version of every tool I can imagine. Plus fun stuff like BTRFS, a tiling window manager, and a feeling that I'm actually in control of the system I spend 8 hours a day in front of.
Yeah, it is.

The Linux kernel is currently using zstd-1.3.1, and I'm working on getting it updated to the latest zstd version.
If you're on 3G I would expect sites to load in a similarly bad way with or without an extra most of 200ms of RTT.
Hi Mike.
Nobody's forcing you to take the flu vaccine or any theoretical future cold vaccine.

Meanwhile those who do choose to take it will hopefully be able to live a life largely free of these annoyances and dangers.
> Sentences must be well written, but the overall structure and relationship between the parts is also crucial.

He does not consider that writing is an art form, a means of creative expression, not just to get you idea across.
For instance, one of the greatest novels "The Devil to Pay in the Backlands" is confusing and hard to read.
> I'd also like to see a law making it criminal for a site to post such information without also obviously posting that charges are dropped. You have one week to either take it down entirely or clearly mark it as dropped. If neither is done the post will be considered extortion.

Not only should it be criminal, but people should also be able to file civil suits for damages against businesses that are willing to expend resources to dig up and publish criminal charges and arrest records, but refuse to expend any resources to follow up on their published claims.

It's one thing when tabloids parade around dirt on public figures, it's another thing entirely when the same is done to private individuals.
Huh. I haven't used an ergo keyboard in many years, and never used one much, but just checked and sure enough, I type the 6 with my left hand, every time.

It's either an innate it's-easier-for-some-reason thing, or else it's habit from stretching across the number keys while playing WASD+mouse video games. I type 7 and up with my right, though.
Not really. This is a naive interpretation of Darwinism. If anything, humans have become more genetically fit by mixing various formerly isolated populations together. Which is very much a consequence of global civilization.

By far the largest problem of any genetic pool (animals, plants, whatever) is not having enough genetic diversity in it. See: Cavendish bananas, the Tasmanian devil.

Absolutely agree with this, I'm not saying we shouldn't have a right to be forgotten, it seems like an easy kludge to implement right now. I'm just musing.
That still sounds technically out of reach for most non-technical people, so you’ll just end up with dating nodes filled with (mostly male) techies.
Source? Never seen or heard a major F500 pick up Kotlin as their primary backend lang over Java.
I really hate it when I'm trying to spend money at a company and get hit with a captcha box right as I click "checkout". I could see it for selling scarce items like concert tickets, but in general it's very insulting, annoying, and off-putting to me.
