Recruiters can’t see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

No, the main point of standing desk is that whoever has one talks about them all day, every day. At least, that was my experience 10-15 years ago, which was the last time I spent in an office.

Subscription based teeth?

Accidents have minor consequences compared to GTA IV.

I agree with you I much prefered the driving in 4 over any other that I can remember. However, one really weird thing was that sometimes you could hit a curb at relatively low speed and you would fly through the windshield. Other times you were totally indestructable.

Security is hard. Especially at the scale of those companies. Since they are big, they get a lot more hacking attempts. Makes more sense for bad actors to attack someone with millions of customers than your mom & pop store that might have hundreds, if everything being equal.

More and more people and compa ies wants to store things “in the cloud”, (read: someone else’s server). It is for the most part a good thing as it makes it easier to access, but it also opens up bigger and other attack vectors.

So, I think the number of breeches will only increase. Not always because the companies have bad security (though sometimes it is 100% that), but also because the attack vectors keep growing due to changed business decisions and user preferences.

I think a better, but still not perfect, way to define it would be “This person wants to do X, but can’t support him/her/itself doing it.”

Of course, if you are already rich it doesn’t matter and then it is a bad metric (one of the reasons it isn’t perfect.) However, I think it is a better way to define it. Someone writing a few books as a hobby and then stops are not a failed writer, but someone that wants to be a writer but just can’t support it is.

Basically I think the intent matters, but that is impossible to measure (and people lie about it). So being able to do it as a profession is an ok metric.

Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can’t just have been a bit of a bad smell…

The problem is that it is almost always just one lf them. Let’s say that v0.20 is called “Fuck Spez” and v0.21 is called “YouKnowWhatFuckMuskToo”.

Most people are going to refer to them by either the number or the name, almost never are both used. The biggest problem with names is that they are rarely sortable (google did it with android, for a bit but not anymore), so in the future it is hard to know which is which without resorting to looking at a list of releases.

For example, in the future when we are on v0.30 someone might say “ah, but this has been an issue since “Fuck Spez”.” And then most likely you have to look it up to know what they are talking about. If we coulld force everyone to alwaya write “version “Fuck Spez” (v0.20)” then it would be great, but that never happens.

I personally prefer just semantic versioning for this reason.

You can export the list of subscribed communities in 0.19.

If you do that every now and then a shutdown would still hurt. As all the communities hosted on it would be lost but at least you can import your subscription list on another server.

GPG signatures are set by the sender to prove the message is originating from the sender and is unchanged. It’s signed with the private key and verified with the public key.

A bit of a nitpick, but important to keep in mind. The GPG signatures shows that someone that has access to the private key sent that message. If I somehow gets a hold of a copy of your key, I can send messages that seems to originate from you.

Everyone has a test enviroment, some are lucky to have a separate production enviroment

Or maybe it is a feeble attempt to annoy people that sign up with foo+service@somewhere.com and then sort it into different inboxes (of course you can filter on other things but + is built into gmail). You can also use it to see who sold your info when you get spam on that adress.

SSDs have a limited number of lifetime writes.

Yes, but in the real world it is not a concern. The number of writes you can do is so huge that you will never come even near it, and the speed boost from SSD far far outweighs it.

If you live in a city and have no backyard or similar, you should not be allowed to own a dog.

Like the old joke, “What do you call alternative medicine that works?” “Medicine!”

If some herb, plant or extract has a proven effect it will be adopted by real medicine, and all that is left in alternative medicine is the scams that do not work.

Well, we have detected those that have been detected. It is possible that there are some sleeper repos no one has detected yet.

But it is not really a problem or something bad with FOSS, just have to be careful when including and updating libraries, which you always have to be!

Yes, and it also pioneered many features we take for granted now. Like tabs, customizable interfacez etc.

But now it is just a reskinned Chrome.

Sure, but not symetric

It will 100% be abused though, and it will probably/hopefully get changed at some point. It was never a technical reason to not allow edits of titles but rather a social one.

Just imagine some troll posting “what is your favorite color?” And people reply with “red”, “yellow”, “black” etc… and then they edit the title to “In your oppinion what color of people should we get rid off?”
