I wish I was as articulate as you. This is exactly what I mean when I see the not responding messages in Mozilla Thunderbird on Fedora/Gnome.

I would probably be ok if it happened very rarely but it happens all the time. I don't know what to replace it with though. We need to convey the user some way that their clicks and keypresses won't do anything because the application is unresponsive but as a user I dislike the dialog window that comes up and goes away after a few seconds.
I read elsewhere that authorities think the gun was homebuilt as guns are so rare and hard to get in Japan.
Let's put that in context shall we: the last Japanese PM assassination before Abe was close to 100 years ago.
I disagree, as I mentioned elsewhere, the user made several helpful comments. It's not the users job to provide "ideas", that's for your product team (or you if you're alone).

It's the users job to explain the UX and problems with it. This user mentioned what, 5 or 6 different parts of the user experience that suck? And mentioned alternative user experiences that are superior.

I personally think the users email is raw and mean but still an extremely useful insight into the user experience with a lot of actionable stuff. I agree with the user. The programs settings, global overrides, styles, handling of user languages, etc are a nightmare for UX compared to modern products.

A good developer takes this email and empathizes with the UX problems, even if they won't redesign anything. A bad/petty developer gets snarky and mean and insults the user.
All of them are regulated. That some "food hackers" break the plethora of local, state, and federal laws governing the manufacture and sale of food products does not falsify this fact.

Frankly, what you want is insane. The reason we have laws and regulations for food content is to avoid killing people with botulism, salmonella, E. coli, lead, mercury, arsenic, cyanide... — basically all the things people used to die of before they got sick of dealing with food-borne illnesses and poisoning and demanded regulations.

The regulations aren't even that onerous. I helped my wife start a food business, and the costs are not anything exorbitant; commercial kitchen space, testing for shelf-stability, and some local certifications. It was profitable enough for someone who is selling as a hobby, but anyone serious would buy or build a kitchen to reduce ongoing costs and boost profit.

There is something very satisfying in crossing out or wiping out a task physically.
What autonomy are you giving up by "allowing" the government to collect and analyze publicly observable information? What power is the government getting?
Sure, this may be used to limit your autonomy. Much like a police officer could shoot you for no good reason. Ergo police officers shouldn't carry pistols? If you can limit potential abuses only by handicapping the government you've already lost.

Notepad++’s problem is that it doesn’t come with a lisp operating system. If it did then it wouldn’t matter how difficult it was to configure, as developers would be mesmerized by the possibilities

Would probably be useful if this noted whether you can do FIDO Security Keys as user authentication.

This would be sort-of a sub-feature of the publickey authentication feature. Because the Security Key is responsible for actually signing stuff, and it has no interest in the SSH protocol per se, the SSH client and server need custom handling for this case.
> Yet that person can’t forma genuine connection without being able to spend at least some one-on-one time with some students.

I don't understand this sentence. I'm from Germany but I don't remember a single time I've had any kind of one-on-one input from any teacher. Been a while that I went to school, but even if I take all my Hollywood High School impressions as fact.. our school system is just so different - my time at school was 8am to 1pm for most of my 13 (regular) years.

If I follow your reasoning none of us Germans was ever compelled to anything. I'd say it's totally possible to form a bond with teachers (or vice versa) - maybe it's more about smaller class groups (as we have in the last 2 years, only 10-15 people instead of the usual 25-30)

I sympathise with the author. Why should one have to put up with mails like this? I understand the argument of being professional, but it's very draining to have to absorb personal attacks and ill-mannered outbursts while never being able to respond in kind.

Given that the sender didn't provide constructive feedback, is seemingly not contributing financially, and can simply choose to not use the application, I don't see why a response in kind shouldn't be given. To me, Don's response was mild.

For most Americans, exposure to outside cultures will happen much more through reading about them or interacting with, say, foreign exchange students and foreign cultural social groups, than visiting the places. Americans who grow up with the money to travel abroad a lot often come from general wealth, which also lets them afford to spend more time doing things like grad school. This affects the liberal causes well-traveled American liberals might support; they may care less about economic fairness than gender/racial equality for instance.
> I ask my fellow Americans in near disbelief: have you become so desensitized that this news does not move you?

I learned it the hard way that politics is getting to be a taboo topic slowly. (And criticizing politicians too). Why engage in sharing something which leads to heartburn? Discussing here is venting. It doesn't change anyone's viewpoint really.

Some may argue that "in the spirit" of HN's scope of curiosity & knowledge sharing, this is OT - but at the same time there are political issues being posted everyday. Its a hit or miss that the post/comment gets downvoted or flagged. I would generally want to post objectively without using any personal opinions.

As a Japanese resident, its a dark day for all of us. As someone aware of Abe's gray side, I am very opposed to several of his political positions - but assassination doesn't improve anything. Its a despicable violent act. Plus, it suddenly brings the whole question of security angle in Japanese society. Guns are rare & violent crimes more so. Things evolve very quickly as kneejerk reaction in Japan. In US people are more sensitized to shootings - but several countries don't experience it, and do not know how to react to it. That's Japan's dilemma in the coming days. I expect lot of insensible security measures slowly getting in place because of this event.

Japanese are risk-aware, gentle people today. The shock is palpable everywhere. Condolences are due where they should be. So yeah, its a dark day in general for the country & thank you for empathizing with them who feel the loss.

You read this right. There's no benefit to publicly chastising a user - even a rude one.

If I'm a user who reads this I'm extremely unlikely to ever offer feedback in even the nicest possible tone.

I think the right move is to extract any possible useful feedback from the email and hit delete. Even if you send this email, publicly posting it seems an even less useful move.

When you have users you will have unsatisfied users. When you have unsatisfied users you will have rude users. If you're rude to your users you will eventually have no users.

It is often a thankless job to maintain a product or service like this but we do get pleasure and enjoyment from it. It's hard to get bad or rude feedback but it comes with the territory.
This is super helpful for companies that have tight security constraints. At work, I am forced to work in an air-gapped environment to prevent unwanted stuff from coming into our network and also to prevent stuff to leave our network.

Setting up the remote Extension is a pain in the A$$, because it is not possible to install the server by hand. It is side loaded by the extension. So I have to download the extension manually and scp it to ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}.

Yes and no. Helpful and constructive feedback is helping, especially if you can communicate with technical / product awareness.

Most user won't recognize a (possible) bug. Of those a small percentage will consider mentioning it. Even fewer will actually follow through.
I am from the UK. Our coal industry was almost completely destroyed by Margaret Thatcher. For many years, the notion of digging new pits has not been on the agenda. There is now a pit waiting for planning permission, but I don't think it will succeed (I hope not).

Meanwhile plans to get some foreign company to build giant new nukes here are pressing ahead. So yeah, my focus is on the imminent threat that I can do something about, not on old mistakes that were made before I was born, that I can't do much about.

> something you are ideologically opposed to

You're the second person that has accused me of being "ideological". Is that the same as "having opinions"? That word is generally used dismissively. It should mean that I subscribe to some ideology. What ideology is it that you believe I subscribe to? How could you know whether my views on nuclear are inspired by some ideology that I've bought into wholesale, or whether they are the result of thinking things through for myself?

Feel free to ask me about my opinions, but kindly refrain from telling me what they are.
That's a message from the Windows installer. Normally you would have to remove the optical disc after the files are copied or change the boot order/devices when the first stage of the installation ends and the computer is rebooted. With this trick, you don't have to do anything.
With no native floating point type and no parallelism whatsoever, I hate to admit it, but the C64 isn't the optimal platform for this sort of thing.

> forecasting of weather data payed by the taxpayers offered for free is forbidden

That surprises me. The data itself is open (https://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/opendata/opendata.html: “According to a change in the Deutscher Wetterdienst Act, which has come into effect on 25.7.17, the DWD has been given the legal mandate to make its weather and climate information available mostly free of charge”), and trivially retrieved from their server, for example from https://opendata.dwd.de/weather/text_forecasts/

I don’t remember the URL, but they also have a freely available GIS server that serves weather warnings that is easily used as a layer on top of OSM data.

I don’t know the details, but I think the issue is that raw data is free, but writing apps on top of it is left to the market. I don’t see any reason why there can’t be a free open source app that uses this data.

It'd be one thing if it were a setting to disable some feature that Linux doesn't yet support. It's another that the setting is literally "refuse to boot anything not provably made by Microsoft".
Redhat (or Canonical?) had some almost smug FAQ post where they ridiculed the notion that secure boot is a "MS conspiracy" versus Linux. We will see how that turns out ...

> ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your@email.com"

Is there any evidence that 2048 bit RSA keys are insufficient?

4096 bit keys are absolutely huge. I don't know if working with them is also slower, but I would guess so.
My most favourite YouTube player usability WTF was keyboard play state toggling with focused play/pause button.

It is actually fixed at this point, but for a very long time there was a 'collision' (respective parallel processing) of the page-wide space-bar handler that toggles playback and the actual "click" event handler of the play/pause button that can be triggered with the space key as well. As a result, if you started play by clicking the play button under seeker (focussing it in effect) and later decided to pause the video by pressing the space-bar, it briefly paused the video (play->pause from the button click handler) and immediately triggered pause->play from the global handler (or other way round). So to actually pause the video with keyboard you had to shift-tab away from the invisibly-focussed (!) play button to the seeker and only then used the space key to trigger the global handler alone.

It always left me flabbergasted how such blatant UX flaw could remain unattended in such prominent service for that long.
I love Notepad++, used it for many years at work before switching to Sublime text ~6 years ago, which I still use.

The sense of entitlement some people have, i usually just assume these are 14 year old kids, but who knows.
People used to easily remember dozens and dozens of phone numbers, because that's just what you did.

Today, people Google phone numbers they use regularly. I've had interactions with people who have a hard time even remembering their own phone number.
Oh, look - another click-through questionnaire that ultimately leads you to a payment page.

For anyone looking for actual free advice, check out the Huberman lab podcast or Matt Walker's sleep podcast. I struggled with insomnia for a brief period, and luckily, my fix was simple. All it took was more time outdoors and not eating close to bedtime. I went from having trouble falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night 3-4 times a week to sleeping through the night, and now I can't remember the last time I woke up in the middle of the night.

Most of my time is spent indoors, working indoors, and exercising indoors at the gym. So my fix was as easy as spending more time outside. Most mornings, I walk out around sunrise or shortly after that. Try also to do an afternoon walk or spend time outside doing whatever it may be. Also stopped eating 3-4 hours before bedtime.

Stopping the late meals was huge for me, and I notice now that when I wake up in the middle of the night, it usually coincides with a night of lots of food and drink before bed.

Indeed, we're all different, so I'm not saying what worked for me will work for you but it may be worth trying as my recommendations are free and easy to implement, and also backed by research that the podcasts I mentioned go into great detail about. Best of luck to anyone struggling, and I hope you can leverage the many free resources out there.
>it's also important to take emails like this to heart

If you have a small open source project, absolutely.

In the case of Notepad++ I would say this would be a very fast path to burnout. I don't believe anyone has the mental power to deal with the ammount of assholes out there, you will just crash and burn.

Do you really place so much stock in happiness surveys as an objective measure of reality? Particularly when the subject itself, happiness, is so subjective.
Install vim and use it over SSH is the easiest and most direct approach. Since the editor runs in text mode it's perfectly happy to work over SSH. Use tailscale and you can get secure, global access from anywhere like they seem to do with vscode.dev creating a tunnel (tailscale even just added explicit SSH support: https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-ssh/).
Technically true, but looking it up, it seems the last PM was killed in 1936. Additionally, in the 192x and 193x many high ranking politicians died, of which were many PM or former PM.
All I can take out from his complaints is that he doesn't understand settings. I don't know what he doesn't understand about them, what exactly is wrong with them. I'm not sure I would call that constructive.

Constructive would be something like: "I wanted to do X, so I tried doing Y, I expected Z to happen, but instead got W".
It's not a trait of HN. Sarcasm does not translate well to purely text communication. I've heard several people make the same kind of argument you just did and actually mean it, so when I read your post, I assumed you were not being sarcastic.
Apparently yes, but my point still stands, that he would have survived 1000s of more scandals, if he would have managed a optimistic economy outlook.
They may control those parts, but Device Guard won't let you install most rootkits. Starting from Secure Boot and Virtualization Based Security ending with Trusted Boot, the system should be capable of rejecting unsigned privileged components and remain secure. Then an AV is probably capable of detecting and removing actual malware.

Still not perfect, but way better than without.
As I said, the main reason you don't want it in a residential rental is that the hardware breaks far too often — if it was reliable, this wouldn't be a problem for me to have this as a door lock at home. Well, not by itself at any rate, though I would still expect the YouTuber knowns as The Lockpicking Lawyer to be able to exploit it.

The fundamental problem with computers is that they do exactly what they are told to do, not what we think we're asking them to do, so this kind of thing is pretty useful for preventing (or at least limiting) malicious apps. Without some signing and signature checking, I wouldn't be comfortable with an internet-connected machine these days, and the internet is sufficiently useful that I would rather not be forced to solve malware by not being online.

For all the imperfections in systems of this world, opining that the developers of this particular system "should be tried and put in jail for their shameful malpractice and violation of basic human rights" feels like as much of an overreaction as some of the graffiti near my apartment which says the police are legalised mafia.

Lousy article. For example, the author complains about a supposed 'lesson learned' that says (shortened) "If so-and-so happens it may be because of A, or it may be because of B". His complaint is "except that it may be because of C or D".

But the 'lesson' he presented never claimed to be an exclusive either-or.
It just says "here are two possible explanations for something".

There's sloppy thinking like this throughout. Thumbs down for me.

Hi there.

I wrote [1] (Thanks for the reference) , and i skipped encryption for the sake of simplicity.

I'm enabling encryption as we speak.

If you host the server yourself, on a controlled setting (VPS), it should allow for a fairly secure way of communication if TLS is used. The communication channel would resemble this rough ASCII drawing:

[Browser] <---TLS---> [livematrix] <---e2ee---> [Matrix homeserver]

In the end you always have to trust the person hosting the service. Host things yourself.

I don't see this channel of communication as being truly secure, without audits where and how its deployed. Web apps are riddled with vulnerabilities, how much of the attack surface from a website would compromise the live chat embedded is a guess until it happens.

I should point out that my "solution" is intended for personal websites, people who enjoy Matrix a lot :) . Not for corporations at all.

I don't mourn for those who choose to end their own lives in situations like this. I do however appreciate your response. Thank you.
If the only way you could do so is in the manner of Tom's rant, then no, you should not give any "feedback."

If you are worried that even reasonable comments or suggestions might receive this sort of response, then, for your own sake, just move on.
