Apple Silicon maybe, but Intel Macs always made it very easy to boot other operating systems, you just had to hold down the option key while booting.

T2 Macs had some complications with Linux, but that was due to a lack of support on the Linux side. My understanding is that recent kernels work fine.
The most annoying "feature" of ssh for me is the discrepancy between public keys presentations. How I suppose to verify fingerprint of a new server if it uses a different presentation in the keys file?

"Jane has a good looking typing motion, has a git checkin rate of .324, and scored a 465 on their leetcode"

"She has an ugly husband though, suggests a lack of confidence"

"I like Jim, good coders body, lean cut, good face. Good looking keystroke, the code just explodes off his keyboard with a real pop. You can hear it all the way over at the kombucha tap."

"If he codes so good, where are the git checkins? He's checking in at a .154"
This is basically how I operate most of the time. I ssh from my laptop to a bastion jump node and then ssh to my instance in EC2 where I do all my work in tmux and vim.

It's cheap, reliable, easy and it works like it did 20 years ago so it's completely network issue resilient as I can just attach to tmux again if something borks.
> 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.

I used to agonize when I'd get feedback like this, rude or not. It is emotionally draining, but I always tried to extract something from it. As mentioned elsewhere, I've reacted poorly in the past and really regret it.

I will point out that this really isn't "in kind." The email response was, but publicly posting it and letting other users know how similar emails will be treated is an escalation.
The server component was already open sourced (this is the -same- server/remote component that was previously powering all of the remote development extensions). It's here in the main vscode repo (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/src/vs/server).

There's vscode.dev (running vscode in the browser). That's apparently just a specific web compilation of the main vscode repo. There are alternate web compilations sitting around (for example https://github.com/Felx-B/vscode-web).
>There's no need to "agree" on what purchase means. It just has a meaning. That meaning doesn't come from either of us. If you disagree, you're simply wrong. The law and the definitions of words are not a matter of being negotiated in online comments, even though online comments misunderstanding descriptivism might have told you that they were.

We quite literally change the meaning of what words mean through common parlance, that includes online 'negotiation'. We constantly 'negotiate' the meaning of words as a society. Literally now literally means literally *and* figuratively.

For normal people 'purchase' doesn't mean rent indefinitely. There have also been tons of class-action law suits that have been settled over disputes of the meaning of the contract or that the contract is partially invalid as it would break the law. The meaning of the contract is quite literally what the words used actually mean.

If I purchase or already have a legal copy of a game, am I then morally wrong (and culpable) for downloading a copy of the internet? You seem to say that's not the case, but you can absolutely read the original comment in that way, as well as the way you're implying.
No offense but you need to level up your empathy/reading skills then. This is a canonical example of user feedback. Your user feedback isn't going to be coming from the lead developer on a major product or a Comp Sci PhD or a highly talented software designer that can effortlessly (and for free) breakdown problems and suggest efficient and powerful solutions in a long-form report.

This right here is how users tell us our UX sucks. We either listen or we don't, but how we treat our users is very core to how well our products do.

Many of the benefits of being paid in crypto are just benefits of crypto in general: decentralized, permissionless, censorship-free money.

Aside from that, there's an emerging trend that I think is both really cool and will end up being the default way most people are paid. That trend is "payment streaming". Products like Superfluid [1] let you stream cryptocurrency payments. Staff could be paid in realtime rather than waiting to receive a monthly paycheck. That will prove really compelling for prospective employees and I think that most organizations will eventually make the switch to streaming salaries. Some organizations even have public dashboards that show how much is being streamed in realtime and to whom. The transparency is super cool!

In the near future, we'll look back on the way we get paid today as unbelievably suboptimal and anachronistic.

There is a subreddit called /r/ChoosingBeggars that is chock full of stories like Tom's email.

The hard thing to keep in mind when you're a creator of free products like this is that the loud, annoying, insulting users are usually in the minority. The unfortunate reality is that the vast majority of people who use and enjoy the creator's stuff are just quiet about it and never tell the creator directly.
Writing a rude, demanding, and insulting rant is not being helpful. Even when the content can, theoretically, be helpful, the psychological cost on someone who is doing this for free is really too much. Its a great way to get the maintainer to quit.
We have to remember a lot more stuff these days just to exist.

We have to know more, but not necessarily remember more.

You don't have to know how to take care of a horse, grow your own food, preserve different foods for the winter, how to get from a hundred places to a hundred other places, or any of the dozens of methods of mending your clothes, or how to clean various dirty things since we now have all-purpose cleaning methods.

People used to have to both know and remember way more than we do today. Today, we mostly just need to know how to search for things online.
It’s a sign of a poor understanding of both history and federalism.

Historically states have always controlled the election process. The amendment for direct election of senators, and changes necessitated during Reconstruction and 20th century Civil Rights legislation are the exception not the rule.

States are not administrative districts of the Federal government. They are political entities which in many cases preceded the Federal. government.

That one party has support more broadly across states while the others support is more concentrated explains that one would more vigorously assert federalist tendencies.

That we gain some personal joy in maintaining our open source projects does not in any way mean that we need care about inconsiderate jerks throwing rocks at the man years of work we give them for free.

The personal joy is ours to treasure, not something we have to pay users for. Rather, if users want to have commercial grade "smile even though we're being told to go die in a fire for our shitty product" support, then they should pay actual money first. The trips to the psychologist required from that isn't free after all.
How would you envision this abused (worse than what we have now?)?

Far as I look at it, codifies where you CAN be. Presently, you couldn’t get that close up for an arrest for a variety of reasons in practice.

Seeing as I, a mere coder, don’t want people “over my shoulder” it is only reasonable and fair for a similar affordance.

Coincidentally, I'm closing in on the end of "You're Not Listening" by Kate Murphy.

And while it has nearly zero tech-ness if you will to it (sans the discussion of mobile devices on human relationships), I would recommend it to any who is in tech. Mainly because listening is as important as broadcasting (i.e., speaking, emails, etc.). We need to hear clients, users, managers, etc. It's a quick and easy read.

My only complaint about the book is I hoped for a chapter or two on how to improve your odds to be heard (especially when trying to communicate with someone with average or below listeing skills).

This sounds similar to Andrews & Arnold ISP's response to the UK legislation requiring ISPs to offer a filtered internet at sign-up; their sign-up form has an option "I want a filtered internet", which takes you to a Google search for UK ISPs.

Yeah, I would love a list of “downsides” if one were to compile-out the LD_PRELOAD.

As far as I can gather, one cannot do GDB without recompiling with --gdb option if LD_PRELOAD were disabled at compile-time.
Definitely worth optimising for daylight hours if you're only getting 15 minutes of it!
Exactly. Shooting a simple tiny slow 9mm (classic pistol cartridge, used ie by cops/military everywhere) has in indoor range such a blast you feel the3 shockwave in your guts. Even with hearing protection its a very intense experience that you need to get used to. You simply don't get anything similar elsewhere, unless some big fireworks blast very very close to you.

Not using ear protection constantly around guns will degrade your hearing significantly and permanently.

No, never use it as it'll collect the user data.

Yes, the linked license is for the Microsoft published binaries (there's a similar page for vscode itself). As the fine print carefully says, the source code is MIT licensed.
They tried and were failed and to dismiss that as not the IPCC's fault without knowing the nuances is an easy solution. Whilst nothing is perfect - who polices the people who police the police is perhaps the question. More so given that much of their work is done by...the police themselves. Sure the IPCC now changed to IOPC though still the same issue of not being as indepentant as purported.

Now if it was truely independant with investigations not pulling in and using the police for way to many instances, well - the word independant would carry some weight beyond name only.

As it stands, they are not as independant as people think and who do you esculate to after that? So yes, can see why many have nothing left open to them beyond what some would say winging but when you look at the whole structure. Is being unfairly treated winging or vocalising unjustice, well I'd say the later over jumping upon the former would be a far more fairer go to given all the facts.
I'll ask the opposite, how could you NOT see this being abused?

As YouTube shows, there are plenty of police officers who hate when bystanders film, and retaliate at every chance.

Now all they have to do is run up on you and arrest you for being within a 8 foot proximity? They are going to love it.
Congratulations on completely missing a sense of humor.
We don't assume that at all. There are western researches that back this, such as this 15-year study by Harvard: https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7...

If anything, the idea that either the Chinese population is unhappy and repressed, or that we can't possibly know what they think, that is an assumption. Or rather, an eternal myth perpetuated by undying stereotypes.

> That we gain some personal joy in maintaining our open source projects does not in any way mean that we need care about inconsiderate jerks throwing rocks at the man years of work we give them for free.

Oh I agree. Nobody has to care about this. Trash the email on sight.

This is more about the message being sent to other users. To me this feels very much like one's opinions carry as much weight as they pay for it and if the author doesn't like your feedback you might end up on that next release page.
I'm not sure this is going to work for you though, it seems to make you go through a tunnel service that MS is running on vscode.dev. Look at the flow they describe and it has you getting an auth code after github login and using that code on vscode.dev to access the server instance.

If you haven't seen it already coder has a nice VS code server instance that runs like a traditional self-hosted server app and could likely be run in an airgapped environment: https://github.com/coder/code-server

There's one story going round where someone actually cut someone else's power during something important happening, I can imagine how that would get repeated wrongly over time.

My experience from years of intermittently playing EVE is that because it's only one server and you can't get your character renamed or just transfer to another community people might be roleplaying assholes ingame but the toxicity level is actually lower than in other games.
> 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.

Good developers aren't robots either. You get that kind of email, the best course of action is to delete it and move on.

If it's a large enough project you'll get the same feedback sooner or later from other users anyway, and that will be users with whom you can (and want to) communicate with.
Well, the guy might have been a donor--is he really willing to send that money back? I use notepad++ for the same reason I use VLC--I'm pretty sure it doesn't come with any malware. I don't really like it, and have certainly been tempted to complain. You know--complain productively.
I'd like to use this so I can use my Chromebook to connect to my desktop while away from home to do hobby development. Running VSCode as a Linux app is not an option since the CHrome OS screen reader does not support Linux apps.

He doesn't need to suggest solutions. He just needs to communicate what happened. There is nothing in this mail about what he tried doing with settings - where he clicked and what he expected to happen.

Goes both ways in this case.

> Presence or absence of weapons doesn't affect if someone will use it or not.

Yeah No. When weapons are absent, the probability of using a weapon is exactly 0.

When weapons are cheaply and easily available, the probability is definitely not 0.

Those who wish to create mayhem, can and will, get weapons one way or another. Happens all over the world. No amount of laws or severity of punishments can change that.

But, gun restrictions prevent impulsive actions, and actions or situations exacerbated by the false security that having a gun gives, or plain right idiots who don't know how to safely handle guns.
Superfish was not a kernel rootkit by any measure of the word. You just have to install a new CA then a NDIS filter, neither of these is either a rare or even blocked operation since they are required for preinstalled software such as drivers or even an AV. There would be absolutely no difference on whether you used Secure Boot or not.

But worst of all: Superfish was actually _signed_ itself. MS has improved the level of vetting they do now, specially for kernel drivers, but how come anyone can still claim with a serious face that a signature requirement from one CA specifically improves security against malware _from that CA_ (or their associates) ?
The police officer is also capable of moving. If I'm filming 20 feet away, he only has to take a few steps and suddenly I'm violating the law and he can arrest me.

You don't even need anecdotes, there are western researches that back up your hypothesis. See my other reply.
There's several people in this thread saying the user did not provide constructive feedback and I disagree. Amongst the emotionally charged venting there's a description of a real struggle the user is encountering while trying to use the software.

Yes, they should've opted for a more civilised approach. No, it doesn't discard the issue that they (and possibly others) are experiencing.
This represents a complete failure by Abe's "SP" protection team. Even after shots fired, nobody has a gun in their hand (note the holsters visible in some photographs). Everyone is in day-dream mode not paying attention. The guy just walks up and fires two shots with nearly a two second spacing. Two. Whole. Seconds.

Even after this happen - they decide to tackle him! They don't know he's not wearing a suicide belt or has more shots to fire. The whole thing is just stupid. Head will roll.
I think you conflate two things: user initiated and program initiated modals. UI wise they are the same, but UX wise they are entirely different things.

For a lot of things you do actually want modals: file open dialog, yes/no dialog and similar so that is styled uniformly across the UI and comes from OS you trust so that the program has access only to the file[s] you explicitly gave access over OS dialog. These are the good modals.

However, modals are designed to take away the focus, interrupt you mid typing and what not. In absolute majority of the cases (and I cannot think of exceptions from the top of my head) you do not want the program to take the focus without explicit user action.
Absolutely, ones mental wellbeing is the most important thing. But for this example, I would make a mental note that this could be an area to improve, not write a response like this–which isn't good for your mental health either.

It's important to separate your work from yourself. The user was frustrated by the software, not by you.

So? People just use that memory to remember something else. I don’t think technology has made anyone smarter or dumber. It just changes what you think and remember, often with minimal real effects on society (at least due to changes in how your brain is used).

Space-time tradeoff: I have an index deeper than I'd ever imagined when I started university, but everything is a search away and thus it takes time to find things and it won't be possible at all if I'm away from the internet. Cache is precious.
