I wrote the line you're quoting.

You are imputing meaning to it that I did not put there.

Ubuntu is a very popular and successful server Linux, used on millions of VMs.

I strongly suspect that those VMs are not built with Snap and don't use it for much. I think they're build from .deb packages, probably deployed with Puppet or Chef or Juju or something.

But Snaps work on servers, and Ubuntu Core is built only from Snaps. That is all I said. I didn't make any claims of how people deploy Ubuntu on servers.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

I much prefer organic plumber results than ad. So google should be free for the plumber.

The best result is almost never the ad. And in the rare situation where there ad is the best result, it’s an inefficiency because the poor plumber is paying for an unnecessary ad.

We’re hitting a point where we always get shitty plumbers because they have good ads and don’t need to be good plumbers. Or even worse, most plumber ads are just lead generation where I get some random plumber driving 90 minutes because they bought the lead and responded first.

I’d rather be in a world where the search surfaced the best plumber. Not some arbitrating middleman sucking value away from the plumber and the person with a backed up toilet.

If you look how marketing teams / agencies use tailwind its exactly for it's ability to customize. Utility frameworks in the past (like Tachyons) were not very useful for them because they didn't have the customization. Every project starts with config and many things are turned off. Not only colors but also for example typography is too constrained in TW by default and it's better to make your own utility classes for likes .text-xl (because of media queries).

Your example xl:[text-bold p-4] is performance anti-pattern. Don't forget that main reason utility classes came to be was performance. It's fastest to put class directly on element and you end up with very small css file because you don't repeat.
When you start to do xl:[text-bold p-4] you will end eventually write xl:[text-bold p-4 pb-2] or even xl:[p-4 text-bold]. Now you lost one of the main advantages of utility classes and end up in more confusing world than pure css.
Tools like this are super creepy when used without informed consent. Please don't.

Yeah, Flatpak has some kind of hangup about the idea that some tools need actually real full access to the system. Wireshark is similarly useless because you can't actually capture packets with it.

It is really strange that both this and "it's totally ok for packages to set their own security defaults" are true in Flatpak land.

You graph actually proves my point, amount of people with mortgages is increasing aka buyers need loans while old people who are selling who bought their properties 20-30 years back dont have loans.

TL;DR don't bother with all that recruiter spam and general engagement tactics for yet another data hoarding, privacy violating "social network". If you are doing a good job and keep investing in yourself there will always be good jobs in this industry.

I think it’s because the US is rich and we all speak the same language and there’s 300 million of us. So if you’re going to spam, you spam in a target rich environment.

Europe is rich, but you have to spam in 20 languages so you’ll make less money.
Honestly, this government has some balls. Signal won't be the only one leaving the UK - it's becoming a really poor place to live with high taxation, stalling economy, low consumer rights, environmental protections being stripped away and erosion of civil liberties and rights to privacy.

Only when there's enough brain drain might they backtrack but politically we have a party in power that is susceptible to infighting and not at all focussed on actually serving its citizens.
Much of Latin America too, you don't have to be rich and powerful to have public transportation and stores and services evenly distributed throughout the city.

> The children angle is insidious...

The entire rhetorical position is difficult. One of the (somewhat implicit) rules of public discourse seems to be "assume good faith". To make the argument that people should have freedom from government requires an acknowledgement that government officials regularly do more harm than good. It is insanely challenging to carry that position in a debate. Keep your eye out for the handful of people who manage to do it without being tarred as crazy. That rhetorical imbalance makes it safe and straightforward for power politicians and police to argue that they should get to read everyone's emails.

It is tricky to understand why centralised power is a terrible thing that will lead to corruption and injustice. Implementing a system that tolerates privacy requires the bureaucracy to not grasp power. We've always been lucky in a sense that a critical mass of people learned they need to fight to protect freedom as an ideal, even if they can't exactly explain why or if the details seem to lead to bad outcomes (see also "fight for your right to say it"). It may be the only defence against a Stalinist- or Maoist-style collapse.
Government policy on encryption (along with many other things including Brexit) relies on "magical thinking". They don't understand the problem so they assume there's an easy solution that's just being withheld from them by nefarious third parties.

Well no. None of these thing are appealing to me. As much as I hate the modern web, admin panels and forms generated server side are dead. Testing has never been an issue. As for security practices, this statement is as subjective as they come.

I am by no means a fan of flask. However it gives you a lot more freedom to structure your application to your taste. Django is basically a php 5.4 framework with a python syntax.

A successful mitm with an injected trusted cert should appear 100% valid to the browser. That's the point. According to your device setup the connection has not been tampered because you as the device owner allowed a new root cert to be trusted.

The rest is just fear mongering, I'm sorry, not sure how to phrase that more elegantly or politely. I'm not an uber smart domain expert wrt certs, but we shouldn't have to be to know that valid device MITM with certs is a normal use case. And it shouldn't be used as a boogeyman man on layman users.

Ubuntu representatives told me at the Ubuntu Summit in Prague last year that their numbers suggest that Snap usage in the real world by Ubuntu users is around 10x more than all Flatpak usage.

They tun the only public Snap store. (There are others but they are not public.)

Flathub does publish stats, e.g.
https://klausenbusk.github.io/flathub-stats/#ref=ca._0ldsk00...

I have no proof of this, but they seemed confident. I linked to my article about Ubuntu firmly backing Snap in the story at the top of this page, which I wrote.

Why is incentivizing prompt customer service bad, or any kind of scheme? Competition drives better performance.
Parallels running ARM Windows (and Linux obvs) is now very good. And if it is Windows you're using, then Microsoft announced (last week?) that it is now a supported platform.

I've used VS2022 (ARM version) with ARM Windows 11 on an 8GB M1 Air, and it's faster than my work 10th Gen i7.

Obviously if you use X86 and AMD64 stuff in that configuration it's running emulated by ARM Windows, but for most non-dev stuff I use native Mac versions anyway and Parallels gives me Windows 11 either full-screen or as seamless windowed apps. It's impressive.

I’ve always just found all insurance companies terrible and self-serving and just learned to go with the cheapest possible. My ceiling collapsed in two different houses and both insurance companies called it an act of God and that they couldn’t help me. So I had to fix it myself. Many stories like this in my life. Insurance is largely legalized extortion money unless your house burns down or you total your car. For those type cases every company is the same in my opinion.

What are your thoughts about bears eating elk? Unlike some other predators bears are actually omnivores, and could eat other foods.

I’ll throw out an edge case.

You invest $10M in a new company, most of it in equipment. Hire 10 people who then form a work council (work councils are possible over 5 employees).

3 months in you realize the business will flop, it was a bad idea, so you want to shut it down and sell all the assets and recoup what you can of your investment.

So the work council can say “no”? You're basically forced to run the business until it goes bankrupt?

Thats nuts.
Domain investor here. Some, but not all of the advice here is absolutely dreadful and is an example of why you should not take advice from random strangers on the internet.

Some basic rules if you wish to keep the domain:

* Don't offer to sell the domain. If you are contacted by a prospective buyer, just decline, saying that the domain is not for sale. Don't counter-offer or enter into discussions or negotiations.

* Don't put ads or links to third-party commercial entities on your website. If you're going to use it for business purposes, make sure that it's just for your business, which incorprates your family name, eg FamilyName IT Services Ltd.

* Make sure your website has an "About Me/Us" page, which briefly outlines who you are, ensuring that you mention that your Family Name is the same as the domain name.

* The advice in this thread regarding use of 2FA on everything is sound. I've a high value domain portfolio and receive password reset requests every week, triggered by bad actors trying to access anything that they can think of that might give them access to accounts.

* Don't use GoDaddy or any or their network.

* Read up on UDRP (dispute resolution) and Reverse Name Hijacking if you want to get up to speed on the legal and procedural issues that might affect you.

* Domain disputes are a specialised field and you would need the advice of a specialised lawyer if you find yourself the recipient of a UDRP complaint. John Berryhill (I've no connection) is well regarded in this area, and I'm sure that there are others. He would be my first port of call.

> If they're afraid of libel, they're probably engaging in it and should stop.

That may depend on the jurisdiction.

My understanding is that libel laws in the UK, for instance, are horribly broad, and, importantly, don't actually take the truth into account. (From what I've read, I would say it would be more apt to call them "defamation laws", but no one put me in charge.)

So if it were as simple as "just don't print verifiable lies", then I'd tend to agree with you, but given that there are places where you can print verifiable truth and still get slapped with a successful libel suit for it...

It's complicated.

It is worth noting that for a trademark to be enforceable it has to be in use, at least in the US. So if you're not going to use it in any way, then yeah it has no value.

But if you are going to use that trademark then it can give you an awful lot of protection. Note that defense of a trademark is usually around if there is potential for confusion. Say the trademark is the name of a medicine and your trademark includes that name but you sell luggage, the phamaceutical company doesn't really have a claim against you because they don't operate in that area and there's no potential confusion. If you want to sell first aid kits however that might be a problem.

Without a trademark, you may still face a company who does have a trademark.

> annoy the prospect until they buy to make you go away.

It works for turning on my wifi even when I don’t want to. There are so many settings I enable just to make the nagware go away.

I only access google properties through chrome for this same reason. There’s no way to tell google “I know that chrome exists, I don’t like it, I’m comfortable with my browser.” other than just using chrome.

It seems to me that so many companies are sure of themself so much that no one would ever choose not to do the thing they want. Or they’ve decided they don’t care that it sucks, they’ll do it anyway to make money.
> the Online Safety Bill has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children.

I wish people would acknowledge both sides of the coin instead of simply pretending the other side doesn't exist.

Yes society uses surveillance to identify and prosecute criminals (of various ilks, including those who abuse children). If you render that surveillance impossible by construction then people who might previously have been caught will not be.

Instead you pretend that the only goal here is am authoritarian state straight from 1984.

The risk of the second is one reason not to do it. IMO it's easier to think what happens when you make it easier for people to be blackmailed, manipulated, impersonated, defrauded. But again, that's just an opinion.

I wrote the article.

I am not particularly pro-Snap. I am not particularly pro or anti anything in this space.

I repeatedly said that Flatpak has strong popular support. It does. I see it often.

What I tried to point out was the ways Canonical feels that Snap is superior to Flatpak.

There is a lot of FUD in this debate. More than usual.

Personally, once I discovered Martin Wimpress' `deb-get` tool, I removed both snap and flatpak from my own main Ubuntu boxes.

But then I joined the freebie Ubuntu Pro deal and then snapd gets reinstalled, so it didn't seem worth fighting it. But Pro has nothing I personally need, so I may yet purge them both again.

If nothing else, I enjoyed the faster startups, the cleaner `mount` output, and the simpler update routine.

Thx for sharing the link to your work. Interesting idea. A few thoughts:

1) Congrats on the birth of your child. I imagine you have zero time now but as they get older, you start getting your time back. I went through this and now I can sneak in personal projects while the kids are in their activities, late at night, early am. Be aware your body and stamina declines as you age. I am getting close to mid 40s and I can feel it.

2) The previous poster presented an interesting idea about putting a basic classifier in the loop. The challenge is how do you if the classifier gets it wrong. Confidence scores you get from the logits are extremely flakey. I think one solution is to metric learning methods (contrastive loss instead of cross entropy). I have seen some papers that dance around this but have not seen anything fully baked from a scientific perspective.

3) Your task is an interesting action recognition task. You should seriously consider putting it on kaggle or write a paper on it (and release the dataset). The easy off-the-shelf model you could try on this data for a video classification task like this is possibly X3D. But there are a variety of other methods (I'm a researcher in the field).

ChatGPT summary : The article discusses the challenges that Tesla is facing as it tries to maintain its position in the electric vehicle market. While Tesla's driving functions are reliable, the author argues that everything else about Tesla's cars is not, and that Tesla's customer service is inadequate. Furthermore, the author points out that Tesla is struggling to attract new customers, and that the company's product lineup is basic compared to its competitors. The author also notes that Tesla is facing significant competition in China, where homegrown companies are better able to meet the nuanced preferences of Chinese consumers. Overall, the article suggests that Tesla is facing significant challenges in maintaining its dominance in the electric vehicle market, and that the company will need to innovate and improve its customer service in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Great.

What I really want is mandatory opt-in to be able to contact me.

Unknown numbers get to send a single standard length SMS, carrier embeds the full legal name and, for businesses, legally registered mailing address, and I can choose whether to accept. If I don't, no other contact from that number is connected to my phone. Ever.

I can also report the message as unsolicited and every company's unsolicited contact stats are made available to regulators.
I think you've missed the point there, which is that something has become necessary to prepare for the horrifying reality of mass shootings.

Unfortunately, due to the political situation in the country, it's currently impossible to do the one thing that we know might actually stop those shootings (make it harder or impossible for people, especially children, to get their hands on heavy weaponry). So by the "logic" of "we must do something" "this is something" "then we must do this", we have active shooter drills instead.
