> Packages are often seen as a one-step plug-and-play solution. I don't want people to see my code that way. They should dive in and inspect it before using it (it is always written with this in mind - with extensive commenting and documentation).

> IMO, the advantage of my method is that (at least a few) more people will test/audit my code as opposed to if it was available as a package. Which increases the likelihood of any possible bugs in the code getting caught.

The person who unthinkingly installs a package will also unthinkingly include your script using 'require'.

The only thing that happens is anyone who is interested in auditing your code and uses composer is inconvenienced with busywork, that would otherwise be handled by composer, e.g. autoloading the library.

> Honestly, this is a personal thing for me. If people are using my code, I will feel responsible to some extent.

The point you made was that you would feel more responsibility for a package rather than a PHP file. There's no reason why this should be the case. Both methods result in your code being run by 3rd parties.

> most of the people who would need a flow chart like this have a mental health problem of some type

Now that made me feel like shit! Because it means that either a) I'm a whiner who has no justifiable reason to complain about feeling bad or b) I'm too deluded to admit that I have a mental illness.

One of those could be true, of course, but at least in my case, that line is working against the stated purpose of this website.
Yes. Similarly, you can totally rely on your gold or fiat money being yours. Ok, there was this small incidence in 1933 where the US government took most of your gold, but that was a one off event [1]. And then during the hyperinflation in Germany your money actually became worthless, but that was a growing mistake. Of course, that was multiple generations ago, not a few years.

Conclusion: On the dimension of reliability and censor resistance, crypto might be as good as gold or fiat (while on all other axes it remains much worse).

[1] Executive Order 6102 required all persons to deliver on or before May 1, 1933, all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve in exchange for $20.67 (equivalent to $413 in 2020)[5] per troy ounce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

They have a feature called "sealed sender"[1]. Your Signal client authenticates to a Signal service that verifies you, and then signs and issues a certificate that you can use to vouch for your identity.

Then, you can encrypt this certificate as part of your message. Then ask Signal to deliver your message to the recipient. The Signal server won't be able to tell the recipient the account that the message is from, but after the recipient decrypts the message they will see the signed certificate and know it was you.

The problem with this is, Signal is centralized and they see the both the IP address (and other metadata) when you contact them to obtain the certificate and they they also see the IP address you send the message from. Correlation between the two Signal-operated services would reveal your identity. Unfortunately we, as users, have no way to know that this is not happening.

That's the thing, their USP is long-term maintainability and upgradeability, but if they call it quits in a year, you're stuck with a niche product that nobody else is willing to make parts for.
I have, over a few decades now, treated my computers like an artist would treat their paper notebook, and have therefore every laptop/portable in my personal collection as reference. Well, almost, I was lucky to have had a GRIDpad back in the day, and I still haven't got around to finding a Dauphin DTR-1, but .. yeah .. the point is, my Thinkpads are still freakishly reliable, great computers, upon which to hack.

Another thing, more 'personal' computing experience .. Prior to his 'upgrade' to a gaming laptop, I had the eldest of my kids on an ol' Thinkpad or two, Linux of course, and not only did they gain much great understanding of things before encountering the consumer zone, their siblings act as force understanding multipliers.

I am often much amused at their insight into why their friends Windows bollocks needs to be blown away &etc. .. although they do somehow seem to have managed to maintain their own Windows (gaming) systems well. They at least knew what Linux was before that became a thing in their lives.

I attribute that fact to the Thinkpad being really great to hack on, and solid enough to give to an 8 year old and expect to have it sort of still work for a while, and in our case, a few early hacker minds were well serviced by its dependability ...

Restart is fine. It only takes a fraction of a second.

But APT doesn't do restarts. It stops services and doesn't start them back up until it's finished with all the other packages. This can take a few minutes if there are kernel updates that trigger multiple initramfs rebuilds, or indefinitely long if the update process throws up a dialog to confirm something.

OP makes it clear why this is happening. Packages have no concept of an upgrade, so APT stops services before removing the old version, and starts them back up after installing the new version.
As someone who does front-end JS stuff and uses a bunch of packages here is why I do it:

I got tired of copying and pasting the same classes between projects. The worse part was I'd add new features to the newer projects and when I would have to go back to work on something from a year or two ago I'd have to spend time backporting all the new code. I also don't like how bloated a bunch of the "popular" packages are. Why do something in 40kB of JS when you can do it in 3kB. Smaller is faster which is important to me because one of my main selling points is that I build modern-looking marketing websites that load and render under 5 seconds on a slow 3G connection.
Depending on your local laws, it might be legal to record calls. Do so and then after the call listen to it again and take notes - that'll allow you to track what's been said.

Hang on... what is it that makes "having to deal with autistic colleagues and managers" so bad that it's the only example reason you give for going freelance?

Yeah, everything I'm talking about is to make the latter a less likely occurance.

The COVIC pandemic is global and universal, but people responding differently.

I’m not from Serbia but I live nearby, speak pretty much the same language, and culturally Montenegro is very close. Over here, many people are generally skeptical towards media, and most people are skeptical towards statements of our own government. Due to such cultural traits, public perception of COVID is rather diverse here. For instance, despite vaccines are freely available for almost a year now (I think I got a first vaccine shot in April 2021), only about 50% of population (myself included) are vaccinated.

Just because Đoković attended a public event after testing positive doesn’t mean he’s lying about the test. He might simply think it’s not a huge deal. Maybe he’s a bit careless, but I think “giant asshole” wording is too strong. Other people attending the event were adults fully aware of COVID pandemic, they were free to skip the event, they were free to wear masks if they wanted.

Also, there’s lots of research showing that positive COVID test doesn’t mean the person is infectious. For instance [0] says “people can continue to test positive for up to 3 months after diagnosis and not be infectious to others… the amount of live virus in the nose and throat drops significantly soon after COVID-19 symptoms develop”

I was curious about how they were defining laughter? I am a bit skeptical to be honest about the idea of change in behavior when we apply something to animals that will trigger a laughter in human. We can't be sure if that change behavior is indicative of joy and expressed through the vocalization of laugher.

The paper seem to be (I have skimmed) focused on group dynamics to determine what is laughter. They indicate that how animals signals they were having joy by making vocalization and it indicates social play.

Here is a super cute video of how social play would work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2EmA_UwIM8

But I am not sure if the animals are laughing though.
That's what I did... I was hoping for a way around that.

Those sound like two distinct things to me:

- Copying an interface for the purpose of providing a compatible implementation (what Google allegedly did - although of course part of the debate is whether they also copied any of the implementation)

- Copying parts of the implementation, not for the purpose of compatibility (what faker.js did - in this case, copying constants)
Not only is the blog post from 2 and a half years ago, but it was bashing the very first alpha release of the V programming language (vlang) that just hit GitHub at that time.

Could you imagine doing a brutal bashing of Zig or Nim, the first week it came out? Then claiming they're vaporware? Make it make sense. An alpha of a programming language, much less a program, isn't feature complete on day one. This should be common sense.

Trying to label a brand new alpha as vaporware is inappropriate at best. A fair and unbiased critic gives a project a reasonable period of time to prove itself, not attempt to prematurely stomp all over it. Looks wrong to do so, at the least.

Even crazier is then using that very old blog post, as the "be all, say all" for the state of the V language versus actually looking on GitHub and the documentation. V has been consistently coming out with weekly releases (https://github.com/vlang/v/releases) and updates for years now.

The effects of climate change are mostly natural disasters that come and go as normal which the United States deals with regularly. That entire argument is tired and irrelevant.

So, show a piece to someone without an art education, and if they think it is interesting it’s classical art, and if they think it is wtf then it’s modern art, nothing to do with when it was made or the definitions of those terms today?

This still seems to me like you have redefined modern and classical as interesting and not interesting art you like.

Modern art is something specific: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_art. I would be surprised if you could really show a Van Gogh to someone without an art education, and without explaining the context, and they wouldn’t say it was interesting. Or any of the other art on that page.

If you’re just saying in the end modern and classical art don’t exist as defined concepts except by showing individual pieces to people without art educations who are then qualified to sort them into modern or classical categories based on whether they find them interesting or wtf then fine, I don’t really agree but now I see what you’re saying. But if you think all modern art on that page would be found uninteresting by anyone without an art education I’d encourage you to do your experiment and I think you’d be surprised.

> why should I have to deal with autistic people who can only give 1 word replies to every question?

Well, sorry to burst your bubble but you're already dealing with autistic people in your daily life. Worse, you're being a dick about it. It's a spectrum (or more like an equalizer with many sliders); the ones you describe are low in communicativeness (or low in giving a shit about you), most manage all right. See also: masking.

But yeah tl;dr IT has tons of people on the spectrum; just because you don't notice them means they're good at masking and/or you can't actually tell.
First of all, it's not a VNC protocol implementation but RDP. Second, it's PowerShell so it's easy to use as a payload in any exploitation tool, e.g. Metasploit, Cobalt Strike and such. If you have information about RDP, you have probably heard it's the first stop when you want to exploit any Windows device. If it doesn't work, you go for SMB, etc. So yes, it's valuable in that sense.

At the time of reception, the Signal server knew that there was a message from a certain IP to a certain recipient. If the message was put in the queue, the originating IP was forgotten. Once the message is delivered, the recipient is forgotten.

EDIT: Signal can totally be used through Tor, so the IP can be hidden from Signal. As neighbor comments have said it still knows at that moment that a message from you is sent.

Ah, so you aren't saying a majority of techies will use 'jif' (which is I think what many are reading from "techies are way more likely to pronounce it jif"), but just that they are more likely than non-techies to do so, given the prior knowledge. Fair.

A 20/80 split in a poll in a world in which lots of people are correcting others towards a hard G indicates that there's plenty of people choosing to pronounce it like "gin" or "gist" or "gelatin" or "genius" or "generous" or "genetic" or "giant" or "gymnast" or "ginger" or ...
Key point being "most", I'd think?

Absolutely. Because complaining about wage theft is worse than actual wage theft.

Imagine a world that censored complaining. That'd be a world without Outlaw Country. That's not a world want to live in.

They assert "please don't talk politics around us or our family we don't like it" but make politically charged statements from time to time. If anything even slightly resembling confrontation occurs, like asking someone where they heard something, the matriarch on the other side is likely to cry.
I've got a T1200XE which runs at a staggering 12 MHz but has the same form factor and monochrome screen, which was a leased business system from my father's job that they ended up letting us keep. The last couple of times I took it out the hard drive took a whole bunch of power cycles to get it spinning, probably the bearings sticking. That was a while ago, so next time might require some disassembly to get it going again.

As others have mentioned, the keyboard is pretty nice on these. The T1200XE also has a modem, so I used it with Prodigy for DOS for a while along with BBSes and such. It's a shame Toshiba wasn't able to keep their lead in portables, they had a bunch of innovative products.

I think there's people who do check out Product Hunt without posting themselves, although it's probably not a whole lot. I regularly check it out to find new products, or for general inspiration, but that said I do post in there myself.

It's worth it from experience if you manage to get in the top 5 or so, and get featured in the newsletter as well. I've personally gotten a decent amount of users and traffic by posting in there. Plus it can also help to get all sorts of opportunities, after a launch I tend to have people and companies reach out who are also in the space, or looking to partner - it's generally pretty good for networking. But it also depends on the kind of product you're launching, I've had more success with productivity tools (a task management app, screen recorder, design tool...) than with other types of products (directories, communities, niche tools...), you have to know the audience.

Definitely do agree though that it can be a bit of an echo chamber. I wish there were more platforms that were used by "lurkers" where you could post your product and reach your audience. Unfortunately many platforms discourage self-promotion, it's a shame really. I love discovering new things all the time, but it seems nowadays the only products that reach you are the popular ones, it's incredibly hard to discover niche ones. Not just for websites and apps, but it also goes for movies, books, and all sorts of other content.
