VPN is not a privacy "solution". There are multiple implementations of super cookies. Super cookies transcend your ability to clear them.

Websites used to store cookies in flash, which weren't cleared, even when you "cleared all cookies," I'm not even sure reinstalling your browser cleared them.

Then there are things like google analyitcs and tracking pixels. The google login window. Captchas can betray your identity. The "referrer" header when clicking links.

There are all manner of cookies and fingerprinting techniques.

Screen size is detectable, installed fonts, installed plugins.

This is an EFF project to show you how easily your browser is fingerprint-able:

If privacy is deeply concerning to you then I would spend way more effort on your browser than your IP.

You also have to consider that chrome, firefox, and safari all want to sync your web history to their clouds and all manner of other stuff.

When someone shares you a link on messenger, FB will click that link and download its contents to their servers for analysis.

Your phone reports your location to your carrier that sells that information.

Bluetooth can betray your identity when walking around.

Any picture can have facial idea and OCR run against it.

The only solutions to this problem of privacy are regulations.

I feel the same way about python. To me, indentations and spaces are much more for human legibility than the parser's. Something in my brain says that symbols like curly/square braces designate code blocks much more succinctly than white spaces.

However, for someone that started in a language that used white spaces vs symbols, I get how they would feel the opposite.
No it's not. Immigrants tend to adopt to native sub-replacement birth rate and bring their elderly parents to live in US and often make use of social security. Even to the degree that they have children, children take two decades to enter the workforce. Bottom line, it's impossible to solve US labor shortage with any reasonable immigration levels under current policies. Unless you want a Dubai style system where only active workers are welcome and those don't get benefits of the citizens.
> I'd prefer that we not all pretend that 2000-year-old religions somehow magically dictated that vaccines were bad

You don't understand any of the religious arguments if you think its just because it's a vaccine. It could be because fetal tissue was used in manufacturing these vaccines (they were). There are many other such examples.
For better or worse, that has very little to do with the kind of emotions I'm talking about. They seem (to me anyway) to start just north of the so-called lizard brain.
This is called networking. You have a decade of experience and some good connections. The longer you go in any career, the higher paid you are, and the more important networking is. Don't burn bridges!
As USB-C becomes more and more ubiquitous, I'd love to see every device with a USB-C port and a display to support incoming DisplayPort alternate mode. That would be a worthy successor to Apples target display mode and would offer a great way for using devices like tablets as secondary displays.
Is that not what Jupyter notebook support is about? I can run something and see the output below the code.

i don't get this scenario? that would be the subject mater expert on prometheus in your organization then. why is an sre required?

it sounds like your implying there has to be some weird relationship were developers cant be trusted to debug and need to be babysat by the grand sre that know and watch over everything or something. this is the toxic nonsense that exists.
Fortunately you can't stop the countdown till the moment you realize that the idiot was you.
Why would a plane be treated differently than a car in a GDPR context?
In my view you are both wrong for different reasons.

There are not “enough software developers in America to fully meet all of every American companies technical needs”. There is virtually no unemployment among competent software developers and almost every team I have ever talked to consistently struggles to hire. It doesn’t pass the sniff test, as there are relatively few of these workers in any case.

Equally, workers are absolutely entitled to complain about companies abusing people in precarious positions—such as H1B visa holders—to reduce costs. Certain orgs are notorious for this. It is not “entitled” to think that workers should be paid the market rate for their work, and the reality is that software developers are highly-paid in part because their skills are hard to come by and drive significant financial benefit (i.e. they are worth it). You don’t need to put the effort in to defend companies who have famously colluded to suppress wages!

Is the real problem not the existence of a silly visa system in the first place? If you want workers, then allow them to enter the country and compete freely at market wages for roles - without making them so subject to the whims of their sponsoring employer. That system is basically designed to facilitate abuse.
Kris who shared her instance, Hachyderm.io, is also currently "shadow banned" on Twitter. Her account is unsearchable, though you can navigate directly to it at twitter.com/krisnova.

You won't see her tweets though, because Twitter is now using all of its content moderation powers to keep people from switching platforms.

Search limited, link banned, timeline disabled.

So much for free speech!
> weird and not ok

I mean, that particular individual is in turn weird and not okay.

But who am I to say? And what does it matter if something is weird and not okay? Lots of things fit that bill, and that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.
And in the 3 minute call where he popped onto a Twitter space tonight, he now says doxxing is zero tolerance and journalists aren't above the rules. But the alleged "doxxing" was the journalist doing nothing more than linking to the @elonjet account.

@elonjet can be found on Mastodon at https://mastodon.social/@elonjet

Incredibly, links to Mastodon instances are now flagged as a safety risk on Twitter.

you could rebuild it in any turing-complete language, including Brainfuck.

But why would you do that? I suspect there’s few good reasons for doing it (ease of finding new programmers) and many good reasons not to do it (speed, it’s code that has been battle-tested for ages).

Anyway, from friends working in the banking sector, nowadays the mainframe code is exposing an API and users are accessing data via a web interface and not a terminal emulator anymore.
By some internet commenters. Personally I found Twitters bans distasteful. Even if they could do it.

I also find Musk's bans distasteful. Even if he can do it.

Oh, and he's revealed himself to obviously be full of shit. As is anyone cheering him on in the name of free speech. But I guess principles only last until they get in the way of petty tribalism.
Which is hilarious because as I recall the account admin asked for something like $50k to shut it down…
So long as your bosses are ok with that, who cares. Power to you. I was just stating the obvious typical expectation I guess.
Was it truly "brought to heel"? P2P file sharing is still very much around, and many people don't see it as inappropriate - especially among those under 40.
Indeed. I wonder if someone will write a text editor in Flutter so that we have cross platform support but also natively compiled code.
Sorry but the very good Electron app which actually is very good, VSCode, really does suck if you maintain 10 projects. That’s not a lot of projects. It’s just a lot of browser tabs multiplied by documentation in an actual browser.
Or some sort of corrective eye surgery which obviates the need for glasses altogether!
That would be super expensive from an electrical BOM point of view. Laptops and phones are simply not designed to input video. Closest you might get is USB gadget (also pretty tricky) and do display over that (ala displaylink).

Huh, I’d forgotten about this. Makes me think of Onivim 2 running out of steam. Have we just gone through an era-ending moment with text editors with VS-code coming out on top along with a few old survivors (vim, eMacs and sublime come to mind)?
Well... as it turns out, that's exactly what I'm doing.

In section 549G of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, codified at 10 U.S.C. § 486 ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/486 ), Congress directed the military services to track race/ethnicity data for subjects and victims in investigations, nonjudicial punishment, and courts-martial.

The stated goal is to identify whether significant racial disparities exist and (I assume) try to figure out why (outright racism? implicit biases on the part of commanders? anticipated implicit biases in reporting? different recruiting pools?) and how to fix it.

I don't love the policy, personally, for any number of reasons; but as a military officer it isn't my place to criticize the requirements Congress lays out for us, so I'll leave it at that.

But I think the takeaway is this: it really depends on what the data is going to be used for and what privacy protections exist. In the OP link, ATL seems to be assuming the information will be used for nefarious ends, but they almost neglect (only mention in passing) that the data was to be anonymous unless they end up "required to manually look up documents." As a general rule, I don't think public discourse is aided by assuming the worst about others.

I find the request to break down the data by month to be interesting. I don't know what to make of that, personally, but in my view it suggests that someone is looking to identify trends over time, rather than trying to build a "registry."
Potentially it could be used as temporary atmospherical music for pre-viz video shots
So how many layers deep does the ban-hammer strike? The Seven-Degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon-esque game being played here seems like it'll only end with Twitter having zero users.
It like when i receive a text when no punctuation, i can tell it is a younger person. anyone using emoticons vs emojis should be the indicator in and of itself regardless if there's a nose or not. how many times did you have to push that number to get to the symbol? "huh?" you ask. shows me your age too.
If Musk actually regarded flight tracking as a security risk, he would have signed up for the LADD program and restricted this info to FAA Source or added his aircraft to the Subscriber Level blocklist. He also could have requested a Privacy ICAO Address.

Any of these things would have put an actual stop to @elonjet, and the PIA solution would have prevented harassers from simply picking up with FlightRadar or any other tracking service.

The fact that he didn't do anything to increase his own security except for banning one of his company's users tells me this is not about personal security, but about exerting control over his company. That's his prerogative, but it's bizarre that he chooses to put up a facade instead of just adding "don't be an asshole to Elon" to the terms of service, which appears to be the actual endgame here.
if you cant hire good lead/senior/staff/fotm title software engineer why can you hire a good sre?

if you can hire a good sre that knows all this stuff, then you should be identify your lacking in a skill on your teams(it'll be obvious because things are shipping slow, and breaking often) use the same skill to hire an sre to hire a good swe

Codeberg launches Forgejo – Gitea fork
Protocol-wise I'm aware, but it seems a better fit technically for windows than x11. Making a performant client for linux should be doable, but creating a server that takes advantage of all the protocol features sounds like a much greater effort.

And yes, it seems in general something was wrong in your vnc setup. I was doing fullhd back then and typing or moving smaller Windows was near instant, maybe 100ms delay if the window was larger or the screen busy. Even video playback in YouTube was smooth (with occasionally dropped frames) as long as I kept it at the default size, which was surprising.

On another note, a few days ago for reasons I had to access a machine at work running xfce. Used VNC via SSH tunnel and didn't expect too much, since last I checked the protocol was very sensitive to latency, but it was a pretty smooth experience still. Maybe those tigervnc folks are still busy tweaking it.

Will try freerdp next time :-)
Twitter is not large enough to be an anticompetitive concern.

Not a lawyer, but practically have looked into a few tech related cases.
Why? And what's better?
that's the thing w/ perfect restorations...old cars/computers end up being nice to look at but not that useful. Especially w/ computers before the "internet" was widespread....

Vs it would be neat if they did some kind of restomod, i.e. implant a Raspberry Pi or some small board in there w/ an upgraded screen w/ wifi and bluetooth...
You might want to investigate what the "B" in "ADS-B" stands for.
This would be great in situations where you can't easily clean your glasses. Lots of people have some kind of protection on. Motorcycle riders, welders, people working in cleanrooms or other labs.
If we're talking about professional tools i'm not sure if setting it up as fast as possible is the best productivity comparison. All good tools need getting to know them, and setting things up yourself (eg. in vim) means you also know how to fix any issues that pop up in the future. Installing a vscode plugin for playing around is great, but it doesn't automatically make you a professional and stable production environment.

If you're being micromanaged to the point of "allowed" CSS selectors, perhaps you should branch out a bit?
This is exactly what I came to express.

If this isn't standardized in an organization it should be. Otherwise, it's the same repetitive questions, the same finger pointing, and the same miscommunication. If these are the requirements needed to put a service into production, then make it explicit. As the developer, of course I own the service, but (usually) don't have the access. Standardized as requirements, both teams can work together to produce, monitor, and troubleshoot production services smoothly. Then nobody is surprised when it is release day, and asked these questions with an impatient PM whom has already publicly set expectations.

The same day the $54.20 buyout was announced.
It might sound controversial, but for me Atom was almost a 1 to 1 Sublime copy with worse performance and quality. It was slow and ugly. It’s only quality was that it was 0$.

It was the first editor I’ve seen to choke when opening 1M file (it even had a warning that it’s a too big file - lol). There simply was not enough RAM in the world for this memory hog.

I’m not really sad to see it go. It was another free toy of a big company that people used not to spend 60$ on real thing made by small company and waste thousands of dollars on lost productivity and time.

I hate to invoke the "literally 1984" meme, but "restricting free speech is good for free speech, actually" is some rather blatant doublespeak. The solution to media bias is not to overcorrect and introduce bias in the opposite direction.
> That is what everyone has been saying for years.

You're making a false equivalence between the left and the right on this topic.

The left has said that moderating online communities is legal because of the First Amendment. They're private companies. The right then called for an end to the First Amendment as we've known it by banning private companies from moderating their platforms.

There has been no such call from the left. The left (and this thread) laments what Elon is doing, but no one is saying he's breaking a law or that he should be breaking a law. No one is calling for the government to step in.
Because it was a dubiously sourced story at the height of a highly chaotic election campaign. You can see how that might be something a platform would want to suppress, not because they’re Democrat sleeper agents - but because they don’t wanna be responsible for swaying the election because of fake news.
Hah, bucking the trend there with your lack of capitalization.
Have you tried LSP with gopls on Sublime 4 recently? Works great for me.
Not sure how GDPR is relevant since Elon Musk isn’t the EU data commissioner so it’s not up to him to enforce GDPR, and neither Musk, nor Twitter itself, nor the journalists, nor the sites concerned nor the information in question is in any way European[1].

Here’s the definition of personal data under GDPR[2] for anyone who’s curious. If this information hypothetically were to be published by a company with a European or UK connection about an EU or UK data subject and that person were to complain to their national data protection authority we might be in GDPR enforcement territory.

[1] or UK because UK GDPR is a thing even though the UK is no longer in the EU

Certainly, I don’t think banning anyone is okay.

Musk isn’t actually doing anything but applying the already existing anti-doxing rules.

Project Veritas (also a “journalists”) was banned for over a year for accidentally having an address in one of their videos.

I think both cases are ridiculous, but the same journalists who were recently banned cheered veritas being banned.

No banning, anyone, for any reasons, besides direct threats - aka first amendment (I would argue real-time tracking is probably a threat, but idk)
Maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong perspective, but I don't see how Twitter is going to recover from the trajectory it is now on. What would it take to repair the damage to its brand or to get advertisers to return en force?

At any rate, I've been quite happy with Mastodon as a Twitter alternative. It has the same vibe that Twitter had in the old days, and I was pleased to see that most of the people I joined Twitter to follow have already made the move.
If you look at Robinhood's 10-Q: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001783879/afc6222...

We debugged a lot of the behavior using hackyderm.io as an HTTP facade for hachyderm.io with independent TLS termination.

I was able to get a single tweet in using hackyderm.io and my account is now “shadow banned”. Meaning I can view my tweet, but nobody else can. Which is exactly what Twitter has promised not to do, and what we use as a tactic on Reddit to keep shitty content at bay. It means that from the posters perspective everything looks “fine” and their content is just not getting any engagement.

You guys have no clue about US immigration system. There are equal green card quotas for each country, which is the main merit path to citizenship. Of course some countries have a huge population or huge demand for US visas, but that still means that green cards for that country are equal in number to green cards from other countries. And for example, there are a lot of countries in Africa.

On the other hand, children of undocumented immigrants get citizenship without any quota. So there are many more new citizens from Mexico and Central America vs Europe. I am not saying they are bad citizens, but there is some rational limit to immigration that protects native culture from sudden disruption against wishes of existing citizens. So, defining what is fair is not as easy as you might think.

As I understand it, he is part of that program but the person tracking him uses alternate methods to get it.

I think tone affects whether one wants to engage in disagreement. If I disagree with someone but they have an incredibly incendiary tone, I want nothing to do with a discourse.

If someone disagrees but has a rational tone, I am more willing to voice my disagreements.

For me, tone effects my engagement with opposition, not whether or not I oppose something.

I would argue that without the "mean" tone, people might stick around twitter and have a discourse about their disagreements, and with the "mean" tone people are more likely to just bail and complain outside the platform.

Obviously we don't have a control group, so we have nothing to compare what twitter is doing right now against something else directly.

Your specific example highlights the performance difference between VS Code and Atom very nicely, and VS Code is an absolute gem of engineering.

But, for large files, I am not sure it has much to do with Electron in this specific case. Notepad is about as native as they come, and famously struggled with large files - anything over a few dozen KB - for a few decades (maybe still today?). Basically, if you're going to do seriously stupid stuff in an app's code, like loading the entire file upfront and applying word-wrapping, it doesn't really matter if you're doing it 2-5x faster, it will still take too long.
