This is why you have Arch wiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security.
It is a living and breathing document which is updated and maintained for a long time now. It also has proper warning on usability and practicality effects. And how to do it.

Everything mentioned here should be attainable in any Linux distro.

Linux is like Firefox. Just like how Firefox comes with Google as the default search engine and other bad defaults. It is also the most configurable browser when it comes providing privacy to end users. Linux defaults sucks. But it is also the most configurable when it comes to security.

And anyone recommending ChromeOS or MacOS are trading off privacy for security. Especially if you are recommending ChromeOS. Motivation and agenda > technical merit. Linux provides a good balance here.
A corporation's obligation is to generate shareholder value. Not user value, but value for the owners. This can be done a variety of ways but the two big ones are: generating profits and distributing those as dividends or raising the stock value. Technically the former doesn't require growth, but the later definitly does. VC funded companies are basically founded with the promise that the value of the stock will rise and that the VC can cash out its ownership eventually, either through a sale or an IPO.

Also, growth doesn't necessarily mean size, but it does imply long term increase in value for owners. If I buy stock in a company, I want to get richer for owning that stock and that means either the dividends need to be high enough to recoup my investment or the stock needs to rise in value, making me richer when I sell it (starting the cycle again). Both of those outcomes sort of imply some sort of growth over time. If I expect that time to be short, as one might with an internet company, I'd like that timeline accelerated so I get as much value as I can in as short a time as possible. That's what leads to moves like this.
Ohh, BBEdit. I've long since moved on from the Mac platform, but I still have really fond memories of it and wish more text editors could match it (SublimeText is pretty good too).

I remember when BBEdit came out. It was revolutionary at the time. It was a fun challenge to find "large" files to test it on, and for a while nobody was sure how it did the magic it did.

It shipped with a really clean UI and it gave me my introduction to regular expressions. Its "light" theme is still so good that I occasionally try to clone it into environments (unsuccessfully).

When Mac development shifted from the THINK ecosystem over towards Metrowerks, CodeWarrior's IDE was such a pig that you'd figure out how to do the editing in BBEdit and the debugging and compiling in MWCW.

BBEdit also shipped with a rare (again, at the time) ability to open and juggle loooooots of windows, and with a little bit of Applescript we'd try to open an entire directory of files just to see if we could make it faceplant. It almost never did.

I have a huge amount of respect for Rich and having stuck to doing one thing and one thing well for so long. (Well, kinda. TextWrangler was okay, and MailSmith was pretty good but got sold.)
> Except for all of the hate, vitriol, prejudice, and disregard for the basic humanity of others, it's egalitarian and accessible??

What's more egalitarian and accessible than allowing all "hate", "vitriol", "prejudice" and "disregard for the basic humanity of others"?

What you do you prefer? A non-egalitarian and inaccessible place where only the hate, vitriol, prejudice, etc you agree with is allowed?
Medium did this with "claps". Press once for a single clap. Press and hold to add multiple claps proportional to the time you hold it.
Can you point to some evidence for the claim that "a molecule of water is lighter than the oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that went into making it?"

I could understand the atoms sharing electrons, but just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly, because you said it's unexplained.
A few tools I've come across that I've used.

Doing [1] by Brett Terspstra; "A command line tool for keeping track of what you’re doing and tracking what you’ve done."

NA [2] (Next Action) also by Brett Terpstra; "A command line tool for adding and listing per-project todos."

nb [3] is "a command line and local web note‑taking, bookmarking, archiving, and knowledge base application"

nb supports multiple notebooks, Git-based version control and a bunch of other things

There's a worrying number of instances where people managing a foss project using taking their GitHub issue tracker, discussion boards, or some other public forum / discussion board and deciding to lock it and direct users to a discord guild because it's "easier". Or new communities that start up exclusively on discord but would be better served by alternatives.

Except it's not easier, there was an instance where a community had been using a discord channel as a file sharing platform for mods. An administrator was doing some housekeeping of the channels and accidentally deleted the entire chat history (which is easier to do than it sounds), and so irrevocably deleted all of the uploaded files, some of which were never recovered.
Not sure how using Cloudflare is more work than setting up your own LAMP VM or installing WordPress on a SaaS even.

People put up fake WordPress logins as honey pots. I'm not sure what to say to this. If you host a WordPress site you're going to get lots of traffic trying to take your website down unless your provider is helping you block it. If you go outside on a summer day, the sun is going to be shining. I have never had a WordPress site that didn't get a ton of bad traffic. If it lived on a cheap VM with a MySQL database, PHP & WordPress, it was going to be under stress at least a few times a year. Tossing Cloudflare on it takes
less than 10 minutes & a few years ago was the 1 of the easiest/cheapest ways to get SSL on it. In my quarter of a century of hosting, I have had a lot of DDoS attacks & none of those sites got over 100k legit users a month. Most also didn't care about users outside their own country.

It doesn't matter to me if you use Cloudflare or someone else. I don't make money off it but I will admit it is one of my favorite providers by far. I do also really like how the executive team is personal, handles themselves online & reaches out to devs.
I think not everyone here understood the irony...
> You aren't going to link to anything I don't already know.

>> no amount of reason will convince someone with an agenda.

You're exactly right. You already know.
I think there’s also a shift in which rural areas people are living in.

For example, not as many people are needed to farm, but many rural areas are attractive to new remote workers. The areas don’t necessarily overlap.

My hometown farm community has shrank dramatically, but my new rural community has been extremely successful at attracting white collar workers.
San Diego was never an international city, neither are the others.

People useeto fly in here from all over the world to visit the city, see a concert, or do some business followed by a bit of shopping. Those tourists are largely gone and conventions are increasingly moving elsewhere because of concerns over safety and property crime.

More to the point, San Franciscomore so than any other city is a stand in for the US for most of APAC because that's were most of the Asians are and where most international flights from Asia most often terminate. When San Francisco becomes a joke, democratic governance itself becomes a joke.
Mind explaining what “Americanism” is?

Banks running rampant purchasing assets from distressed sellers seems as American to me as apple pie.
> Colloquially: "Uncle".

No. It's not a competition. "Winning" an argument only serves the ego and accomplishes nothing of value.

When you have a disagreement with someone, it means that you have differing ideas about a particular topic. You then engage in discussion and argument to reach a common ground based on what each of you holds to be true. If you come to an agreement, great! If not, that's unfortunate but not something to damage the relationship over.

Turning an argument into a competition is the absolute WORST thing you can do, and displays a lack of maturity.

> Trying to re-frame this as an agreement let alone a forfeiture is passive-aggressive and petty.

Notice the competitive language here: "forfeiture".

"Agree to disagree" is not a competitive act; it's a disengagement to prevent the human competitive psychology from making your egos do stupid things. This really is the key to arguing effectively: removing your ego from the process, and knowing when the process is no longer fruitful and it's time to quit.
Before you take Sasha Chapin's advice to blow up your life seriously, ask yourself whether you envy the life he's living.

> My existence really started getting good when I started blowing up my life more regularly, with a substantial eruption every couple of years. I quit my job and moved to Thailand without doing any research about the country, figuring that I could be a bartender again somewhere if it all went south. That ended up becoming the material for my first book. My current professional chapter began when I said “fuck it” to journalism when I couldn’t take the constant ethical compromises and the bullshit of pretending to care about the news cycle. After some flailing, I now make a lot more money and am a lot happier. Blowing up my first marriage was the most difficult one of all, but it was an obviously correct decision, for which my ex-wife later thanked me—we were locked in a pattern that was hurting both of us, and if one of us didn’t walk away, we would’ve eventually been one of those unhappy old couples who constantly radiate bitterness.
Agree with you on those two. Not really the same vein but I'd throw Narragansett in as well
I realize this is highly unpopular when said out loud ... if tips are "pure gravy" then I'm going to be far more discerning when giving them out. I happen to think there are numerous jobs far more strenuous or difficult or important to me than a food server.
Simple, I read a paper that vaccines cause autism... Now prove to me that you are not an elephant.

Now lets get purely logical. There is a non-zero chance of risk, and the best risk avoidance strategy is to not take the risk in the first place, so shred the drive.

So lets make a software, that would secure erase the drive and try to recover the data, and prove that you are not actually an elephant. But why?

Make a lot of money instead? Make a hard drive with a secure erase feature, and yes I know, but like put a spin on it, maybe a button, or better yet, you secure erase the drive backed by an industry grade non-recoverability warranty for a cheap $10/yr./drive subscription access to our secure erase service. We come to you next day, give a certificate and everything, you can put it in your HIPAA folder and show it to your risk committee.

Your market? Health care, gov, and problems that solely exist in between the keyboard and the screen.
Didn't Mojo just come out? What Mojo will become in regards to Python, remains to be seen. This will likely take them years. Passing judgment on the project so early, is obviously premature.

> Although not as outrageous as V...

Comes across as adding drama. Like arguing with one guy, then slapping another who wasn't involved, thinking it will be funny or because one might get away with it.
I should probably elaborate. When saying simple, I meant don't add content that doesn't relate to what the user needs to use the product. There's nothing worse than having to read a several paragraphs of unrelated content just to get to the nugget of info which tells you how to actually use the product.

If the user needs complex docs to perform a complex task - that's 100% OK. Just don't write complex content when a simple (or direct) explanation will do.
Phillips sell an optional stainless steel additional inner pot, or at least they did 2 years ago when I bought one.
For anyone curious, this seems to be one of the more popular easy Hackintosh-in-a-VM setup projects these days:

* https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM

Works "out of the box" on Ubuntu, and apparently on Windows too thought I've not tried that.

I've used it on Ubuntu occasionally when trying to diagnose intel specific macOS weirdness for a side project, when the weirdness doesn't show up on the M1 mac mini.
Pulumi is pretty good about keeping track of in-progress state. If you cancel and restart a new job, it’ll first ask you what to do with the in-progress resources.
It's trivial and cheap to make water harder, home brewers do it all the time to replicate specific styles. It's more difficult to make hard water soft.

Also while hops have terroir, hops are dried and vacuum sealed and kept cold so that they can be shipped with no change in flavor. (Except of course for once-a-year wet hop beers which truly are very local)
You can write unreadable code in any language, and I also find complaints about about perl being unreadable unfair, but I have to admit that it does give you so much freedom that it's easier to end up with poorly written code than it is in some other languages. When I need to throw something quick and dirty together I love that freedom, but you do have to apply some self-discipline when you move to something more complex since it isn't imposed on you all the time.
We need more people like you!

Most of us (me included) just lurk on HN and post the odd comment, without pushing for change. We're pathetic!
Counterpoint, I'd wager they were already on a downward trajectory which is what drove both the sale to Sapporo and the rebrand.

The alternative to the rebrand might not have been sticking with the existing style forever, but shutting the place down.
Beer is best fresh, and usually the freshest beer is the closest beer.
>sold to Sapporo in 2017

Ah, I was wondering where the pressure was coming from.

The idea that this 150 year old brewery is closing down a truly cornerstone beer in craft beer history because the label art is expensive - despite weathering untold recessions and tough periods - strains credulity
4chan from 2003 is not 4chan on 2023. If anything it's tamer than reddit was after the digg exodus.
Considering the trend now is to straight up remove scroll bars (why the fuck...), I expect conversations like this will become moot in the not so distant future.
> And Wayland doesn't support being able to have multiple logons, each with their own independent desktop, simultaneously like X does.

Not sure what you're referring to. I'm using wayland and I can open multiple desktops via gdm.
I think a reason why people are uncomfortable about him is that boasting about giving to charity is very unchristian. "Be careful that you don't do your charitable. giving before men, to be seen by them, or else. you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 6:1

If you're not allowed to even tell people you give to charity, I can't imagine what God in the old testament would do to you if you profit from it.
I can't find reference to this, would you mind sharing a link? I'm interested as a potential contributor.
I don't mind MrBeast, but what I really hate is how every other YouTuber has decided to copy his "screaming face" thumbnail strategy. My YouTube home page is full of screaming faces and bright text with some clickbait title. Even middle-age woodworkers (the polar-opposite audience to MrBeast) fall prey to this strategy, and I've started to unsubscribe from channels that insist on doing this.
"Blowing up" pathological patterns and habits makes sense for some interpretation of "blowing up". If you're in with a bad crowd that creates constant near occasions of sin that you easily succumb to, cutting ties and cleaning house is very good.

But the article has another thread running through it, that of a life of no commitment and of self-indulgence. This is especially obvious when read while imagining someone with children, but it likewise applies to spouses, families, communities, etc. Human beings are intrinsically social animals. Human beings need societies in order to flourish. All societies are defined by a common good, and that common good is prior to the private good. In fact, the private good exits for the sake of the common good. Self-indulgence might appeal to the hedonistic, selfish person celebrated by our culture, but it doesn't produce happy people in the true sense of the word. It leaves us alienated. This is a reason why we're seeing skyrocketing rates of mental illness and all sorts of identity politics. Nature, when frustrated, reacts in pathological ways. The return of the repressed.

Unfortunately, liberalism (the Lockean philosophical tradition, not liberal institutions) is a defining feature of the modern West, and the US in particular. The habits of mind that liberalism insinuates affect all of us and misshape our intuitions. But liberalism is in a period of increasing crisis. It is not going to last that much longer as it is unsustainable. Liberalism purports to offer a middle ground between radical individualism and collectivism, but all it really gives us is a "diabolical synthesis of the two, a bureaucratically managed libertinism" (Feser 2008).

A life of ostensible "self-fulfillment" is a road to misery and emptiness.
LOL kind of the same story as mind.

1. I want to change the highlight colour. It is too dim to recognize.

People in the forum asked: hey I don't want hidden settings. Can you make the highlight colour adjustable?

A: No. We won't do it. [1]

2. I forgot if it is the print function or what, it just don't have despite in the year of 2022. Oh wait maybe that is the function "export to pdf".

People in the forum asked: Where can I do that thing?

A: We don't know either. Go find other editor if you want it.
Does anyone live in an area that has breathtaking views of the night sky? Able to see satellites? Do you sit outside each evening to marvel at how beautiful it is?

During two separate trips, I had the pleasure to be in an area that had zero light pollution. So amazing. Two of my favorite experiences.
You keep illustrating that you didn't view the keynote, or any of the followup videos and are just judging based on your priors.

Clearly you haven't seen the VP in person, or you wouldn't be making such assumptions. I'm not, I'm trusting people who have used the device in person, people who have said the text is very sharp and easy to read. People with much better credentials than a random on HN.

And if you had done even the most minimal research, you'd know that the VP has fans that eliminate heat build up and fogging.

But hey, you've repeated ad nauseam that you don't like the VP and think it won't succeed. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. You remind me of how ESR was continually predicting the failure of the iPhone until he went quiet on it a few years ago. Same circular reasoning about how it won't succeed because reasons... Yet the people who have seen and used the VP differ greatly with you.

Now the VP may not be for everyone, and some elements of Apple's marketing are a bit cringe, but people said the same thing about AirPods.
Killing what doesn't make enough money. To a corporation, a product line that sells reliably and consistently year after year is a failure unless it can be turned into something that pushes the stock price ever upward.
The next frontier in reproductive tourism? Genetic modification
FlingUp would be smart to address the potential flood of NSFW material before it gets out of hand.

OnlyFans spammers have completely overrun a lot of the subs on Reddit, and I'm sure they're looking for the next reddit already.
Google founders had some internal compass when they offered GMail "free" with an explicit statement that they would "index the emails" or whatever. I recall smart people, a few of them, noting it but the rush happened. Second was smart phones not being too coy about knowing your phone call records with an ID attached to it, every time, all the time. When the public accepted those two things, in recent memory, that was enough to tip IMHO here in the USA. Whatever legal powers behind the scenes with the Patriot Act were contemporaneous, after GMail.
I mean, I use custom scrollbars so my apps look the same on each OS. Do you propose that I should instead accept windows making horrible ugly things that take up more space rather than just showing a minimal scroll bar?

Seems like a non issue to me. My users are much happier with the more minimalist scrolls I’ve implemented over windows stealing 30px per scrollbar
Does anyone still have the source code for those games?
I think craft beer fans would argue that their Christmas Ale is iconic and provides much of their respect as a brand and that discontinuing just pushes the brand further into irrelevancy.

Pulling back to California makes sense of sales aren’t strong enough, but also killing off a beloved brand seems that it could hurt in the long run.
If it's because of the hops, you will probably have less of a reaction if you drink a sour beer, which typically have a lot less hops. You could give that a try as a partition test. You might be able to find a Lambic or Gose at the supermarket, they're reasonably commonplace.

The Gruit style contains no hops at all, but it's uncommon.

Despite Gurman's personal speculation, Zeiss already makes prescription VR lenses for under $100:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/07/vision-pro-prescr...

I would pretty confidently bet on $99 for Apple, with an outside chance of $149.
I agree with you! Re read my comment, I was just also critiquing the crypto haters.
If a file is opened with `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` then it can be deleted while held open. This flag has existed since forever. It's just that unlike Linux this isn't the default, and no developer would think of setting it. I think the only common software I saw using it when I still used Windows was the media player mpv.
I’m from the same area as you so geography isn’t the issue.

They’re pretty notable, arguably they started the craft beer movement
Hundreds of billions of dollars are being made and the government is gaining and keeping control over us with this. If you think meaningful privacy laws will be passed in the US, you are delusional. We are on our own. If a candidate such as RFK says he will attack this practice, I am still skeptical of how successful he will be.
I always chuckle at the idea of calling Sam Adams "craft" beer, but I guess they do check all the boxes for it.
I'm an ardent user of BBEdit since 1996, and it's the single solid piece of software, I've seen in all these years.
The point of using the term “sinophobia” rather than simply “prejudice” is that no, it does seem that some subset of people are uniquely unable to “criticize” PRC policy without injecting some trope about mainland Chinese people and culture. In fact, the point is to repeat the stereotype as if it were fact. The policy (whether it exists or not) is just an excuse.

For that matter, sincere requests for clarification are not immediately followed by attempts to dismiss the underlying concern as invalid. This inherently makes the request insincere.
