asfdsfggtfd··on The Death of Microservice Madness in 2018
If you are slightly careful and put this service behind a load-balancer/reverse-proxy you can take any given set of end points and turn them into a micro-service when you need to. Sounds perfect for a small team.

asfdsfggtfd··on Courts: Violating a Website’s Terms of Service Is Not a Crime
No I apply the actual definition of theft....

I never said that copyright infringement or copying and publishing personal data is OK morally or legally. I just said that they are different crimes.

> That's not even remotely true (incidentally this would be illegal in the UK and a court would grant an injunction on publication under breach of confidence, precisely because it's such a shitty thing to do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breach_of_confidence_in_Englis...).

Yes but they would not charge you with theft. Which includes "the intention to permanently deprive"...

Copying someone's private data is not theft. That doesn't mean that it is morally or legally OK (it's not - it's another crime). It just means that theft is a specific crime based on taking fungible chattel with the intent to not give it back.

Look it's not stealing - stealing is a concept related to physical goods.

That doesn't mean that it is right. Piracy is still wrong even though it is not stealing.

And the GP seems morally confused. Sharing FLOSS software is very very different morally to pirating games.

asfdsfggtfd··on How the Å came to be
You try to talk Swedish rather than just speaking Norwegian? My experience is that Scandinavians just speak their native language and expect that other Scandinavians should understand them. Any attempts to speak the other language end up sounding like parodies rather than serious attempts.
asfdsfggtfd··on How the Å came to be
Similar to English "o" (more so than the Scandinavian o). It is one of the easier vowel sounds. Ø and y and u are far harder for English speakers.

> Then move on to decent unemployment benefits, day care, maternity leave and maybe in some far fetched future you can talk about UBI.

One point in favour of UBI is that it could replace all of these individual benefits.

This can be achieved with any framework.

(1) Write your new endpoint. (2) Proxy to it via your old one.

Or for a full re-write you might want to do things the other way.

(1) Wrap the whole old app with a skeleton of the new one - just proxying the endpoints for now. (2) Start replacing the endpoints.

> An certainly not a soul

OK we agree on the basics - that consciousness is not due to some mystical external factor but that it is contained within a brain.

However, your description of consciousness is a particular combination of electrical fields (NB that those chemicals are acting by changing how electricity is transmitted)...

Where do you think human consciousness comes from?

asfdsfggtfd··on Asking members to support journalism, The Guardian raises more revenue than ads
I suppose anecdote is not the singular of data. But my family, friends and I have largely rejected e-books based on price. I read a lot.

> in that case, the publishers ended up being able to hold the line fairly effectively.

By effectively you mean steadily declining sales as people return to printed books.

asfdsfggtfd··on Extensions in Firefox 58
This is going in the correct direction.

If Firefox provides the correct API's we might have the power of vimperiator back. Off the top of my head it needs:

1. A way to load config from the filesystem so I can keep its config with my other dotfiles

2. To be able to work on about:addons etc

3. To work in reader mode

4. Vim keybindings in textareas/inputs (although for modularity this could be a separate addon).

5. A way to open textareas etc in an editor - again for modularity this could be a separate addon.

6. Be able to open file://

7. A way to focus on the page content (away from e.g. url bar) - this could be a FF level hotkey though.

EDITED - I'm adding things as they come up.

It can't resize on hover/keyboard focus. It also takes about a second to load on F1 press.
asfdsfggtfd··on How do groups work on Linux?
Not sure why this is being downvoted. Historically SGID did do something different - and may still in some of the commercial unixes.
asfdsfggtfd··on Extensions in Firefox 58
It is a different mindset. It comes from the idea that you should be able to trust the software that you have vetted and installed (extension) over random third party code (an arbitrary website).
asfdsfggtfd··on Extensions in Firefox 58
Great to see that new users are getting catered for meanwhile those of us that used Firefox the whole time get ignored.

Are you certain? Maybe they have an internal promotion but company policy/legal compliance forces them to advertise the role publicly?

> On another page, the UK Mobile network '3' is offering 12Gb for the price of 4Gb. I know that's true because I took them up on it (and even for 4Gb it's still cheaper than any other network).

How long for? Is this one of those contracts where it is 3 for 1 for a year then double price next year...

NB I'm absolutely not accusing either of these specific companies of being dishonest.
