Some of the other comments in this thread indicate that tmux not confirming to the specification is a known issue that people have been trying to get fixed for a few years. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how correct this is, but it appears that it's not an entirely one-sided argument.

Like everything in IT security, it's about your use case, threat matrix, and risk assessment.

Many of those items aren't consumables, and you replace from wear and tear. Why wouldn't you think a temperature sensor in your Tesla battery will need to be replaced, similar to your O2 sensor in your ICE vehicle?

Most of it is link tracking for newsletter distribution. You can remove it and shorten it to [1] without any impact

Wouldn't this be a slippery slope, for example leading citizens in Afghanistan and Iraq sue the US government for compensation?

Although it's not legal in Vic, unless you're caught with a substantial amount or dealing then it's not really an issue for casual smokers. Enforcement is generally pretty lax.

> So the fuel consumption has not changed from before update for normal driving. So you won't see any difference.

Uh, I think you've got it backwards. Won't the updates mean it drives in 'test mode' (e.g. acceptable emissions that meet the standards) all the time? Meaning that it will result in some downside (which was apparently bad enough that they cheated in the first place)

It sounds good, but if you're distributing the hash through the same channel as the script, then it's open to the same vulnerability (MITM, website breach, whatever)

> adding some sort of common utility to support it could mitigate the most obvious security issues.

Package managers are awesome!

> I don't get your line of thinking. You are condoning their actions because they own the platform? It's their garden, they can do whatever, so we just stop talking about it?

Isn't this what you meant by 'let the market decide'?

> On Android 5, most Nexus devices dropped all SMS apps for Hangouts.

AFAIK you can download Messenger from the Play store.

You literally say 'items sold' in your post above

> Nearly everything sold on Amazon these days is 3rd parties. I'd wager somewhere in the 95%+ range

> It's much less pain in ass than reboot or work on frankenstein OS.

No, it's an incredible pain in the ass to get this working properly, when I could spend 20 seconds rebooting

> Perhaps the use case is limited to people who need to run Windows/Mac-only software like AutoCAD or some Adobe software.

Or many, many games.

> Updating a server and redeploying should be automated and take only minutes in the vast majority of cases.

There's much more to running a product than 'running a server'.

Eventually, the software is going to stop working on my SOE. Which means more and more boxes are going to be running non-standard deployments in my environment (or it costs me to update). Every maintenance window, infrastructure upgrade, disaster recovery exercise (and event), has to take those servers into account.

Perhaps I pay licenses for those servers to run - OS, support, databases, backup, whatever. Maybe I have a contract with an SI to run all this as a managed service and this costs. There's opportunity cost in terms of resources for keeping all these legacy products on as well - both infrastructure and resource related.

And that's just the technology related part of it. There's business and accounting impacts as well.

Everytime I see someone complain that their feed is full of memes, junk, and chain posts, I think 'Maybe you should just remove that person from your Facebook?'.

And it could be stored in a tamper-proof chip on the device itself...

> As I said elsewhere, if you see 1000 masked people rush into a bar and block the entrance with their bodies, is the solution to block all masked people from going to all establishments?

Try wearing a mask into a petrol station or convenience store. They've already performed the assessment of 'potential sale vs getting robbed', and decided the risk factor they'd like to accept.

> No power tools, firearms, knives, lighters, or small pieces of matter

These things are not marketed as toys to small children.

> The question would be whether this is an "ordinary carpool on a cost sharing basis." Lawyers are paid to argue about these things.

I imagine the intent of this is to cover 'informal' car sharing - e.g. you have a roadtrip with a friend and both pay for petrol, or you drive to work with your neighbour and share costs.

Not sure how it would apply to Lyft Carpool - I think initially your insurance company would push back on it.

> The fact that lead positions in a software company are being filled by salespeople and PowerPoint/Excel 'wizards' says a lot about the company, doesn't it?

The lead position in a large company (in any industry) generally requires little in-depth knowledge of the product. The lead positions (CEO, CFO) are there to report to boards, shareholders, and regulators. Sure they might know and be interested in the product, but the CFO of MS and Apple generally isn't going to be a software engineer, just as the CFO of Audi or GM isn't going to be a mechanic.

First post is in 2009, 5 blogs per page, so 2 posts per day, every day, for 7 years. Not impossible, but you've got to be very motivated.

Not a minimum credit score, but it's prudent to check if a candidate who you're wanting for a role that has significant control over money is financially sound. One of the major motivators of financial fraud is necessity.

It's interesting - the company I work for (non-US, consulting) did analysis of gender pay gaps internally and noted that on average, females get 70% of male pay. However, within the same role, the difference was just 3%. Their focus is now on flexible working and figuring out why women are excluded/not interested in particular roles.

> 1- Maintaining a mirror of dependencies can be a non-trivial overhead. In this app that I was working on, the previous devs had forked some gems on github, and then added that specific github repo to the requirements. But they did not do it for every dependency, probably they did not have time/resources to do that.

You've precisely identified the trade-off. You basically have three options. You can

1. Maintain a local repo of your dependencies (high effort)

2. No dependencies, include everything as 'first-class' code (lower upfront effort, but v. messy)

3. Rely on third-party repos (easiest, riskiest)

> Whether tipping is required or not, it's just a nice thing to do.

In Australia, I tip when a person provides exceptional service to me, and goes above and beyond what you would normally expect them to.

I do not tip them for doing their job.

You're not expected to invent the recipe for bread though - you're allowed to talk to people and find the best recipe, and if it's acceptable quality then you use that.

EDIT: Unless your job is to invent a better bread recipe.

> "Friends and family" are perfectly fine with gimp or even something simpler.

Uh, you're not really in a position to say that.

> We already converted the inlaws (yep, big family) few months ago and it works like a charm.

You're totally ignoring the network effect. Nobody I know who uses WhatsApp uses it only to contact me. So now you've just introduced yet another messaging app they need to have installed and use to message me.

> An 50 year old electrician was the first to show me Ubuntu back in 2006 and he was enthusiastic about it.

So? I can't run Linux on my desktop because of some of the applications I need to run.

While I'm a huge proponent of open source, if you force it on people when it's not suitable you're going to encounter a massive backlash and turn them off it, undoing all the hard work that people are putting in.

> This is really disappointing and feels like a regression. We've managed to teach and learn for centuries without any computers, and now problems with them can cause schools to close? I've taught programming courses without needing to refer to a computer.

Humans also managed to live for centuries without electricity, cars, aeroplanes or ships, but take those away and the world would fall to shit pretty quickly. It's all about what you've adapted to and your daily routine. Sure, we could do without those things, but you couldn't transition to that overnight.

It's fairly common. Employers are often more explicit - they'll pay for the training, but if you leave the organisation with 6 months-1 year of completion of training then you have to pay them back for it.

In what respect? I work for a Big 4. YMMV, a lot (depending on the org, your location, the team you work in, etc). I am not a dev, but work in a role where I get to use my technical background to help clients get done whatever it is they need.

- The hours range between great and terrible (if it's quiet there's a fair amount of flexibility, if it's busy then you work like a dog).

- I get to work on a range of clients, doing different things. There's plenty of scope to try new things if I get sick of whatever I'm doing at that stage.

- Pay can be good or terrible, depending on what you do and how good you are at it.

- I work in a role where I don't have sales targets (thank god), but you can get pure sales roles as well.

- The people I have worked with are amazing (internally, client facing can be a different matter). In 5 years, there's literally only a handful of people I wouldn't work with again, and some of them are now some of my best friends. Most people are driven, incredibly smart, and hard-working.
