It sounds incredibly dumb and the fact that nobody has challenged and changed this is testament to the pace of public official life.
If somebody were to get a nuclear bomb on a civilian plane, the german government would be constitutionally obligated to let them fly to wherever they want.
I imagine that in real life the german government would ask France or Great Britain to quickly fly over and do the job for them.
Afterwards it's nobody's fault and we can all keep pretending that the Grundgesetz is perfect.
> It would be illegal in Germany to shoot down a hijacked airliner and ordering the pilot to do so would be an illegitimate order the pilot would be forbidden from following
Yeah we're going need a source on that. Don't even think of pulling up that vague Grundgesetz about human dignity, the legality of refusing an order would be established AFTER the fact. To call such an order illegal before any court judgement is the very thing that you are branding as an alternative fact.
I dont see the point of Fossil, I looked into it. The commands arent that much easier to understand. If I'm using an SCM anyway and I still need to use a cmd line and I still need to memorize commands then I might just as well use git. And Git has Guis now.
Go's error handling is the primary reason I'm not using that language. If I ever, even on a single line, dont handle an error, my project might fail in an unexpected, undebuggable, unlogged way.
With any other language I get an exception and a stacktrace printed out to me. With go, it just silently fails.
How this was ever construed to be "better" is beyond me.
Okay I see, so somebody has to keep a massive database of all the fingerprints and constantly keep trying to cross reference every browserprint with every other browserprint. Doesnt seem like an exact science but I get that it's technically possible to find some matches.
I am not talking about multiple browsers. I use the same browser all day and my fingerprint still changes constantly, for many obvious reasons. The browser updates itself, I add extensions, etc.
So browser fingerprinting seems like a really bad way to identify people uniquely.
Using multiple different browsers just adds to that even more.
I dont really understand the issue with browser fingerprinting. Yes in theory it can uniquely identify you but only if your browser fingerprint never changes.
Everytime I go to one of these "are you unique?" websites, I am a new guy to them.
The data for this approval rating seems to come directly from the same website via online voting.
There couldn't possibly be a worse way to gauge his actual approval ratings short of just making it up on the spot.
Right but my point is that this can change very easily in the EU. The EU has even fewer problems with violating privacy than the US, that's what I was trying to say. They always talk big about democracy and freedom of speech but we all know that it isn't quite like that in practice. (see: hate speech)
But the EU has much less qualms about restricting and violating the freedom of their citizens. We have no free speech like the US. Massive data collection laws are passed without any large backlash regularly.
I still support aggressive competition from the EU simply because the EU needs to stand on its own legs but don't pretend that it's for privacy of its citizens. I guess maybe if you explain it in a roundabout way, it is for our privacy.. privacy from US institutions, well that counts for something too, sure.
I have known on day 1 of using Chrome that it was superior and I switched completely the next day without ever looking back.
I assumed that Firefox would do everything in its power to catch up as soon as possible, both GUI wise and in general feel.
9 years later still nothing. Quite a surprise.
I cannot agree more with his conclusions about Rust, you can overlook a lot of problems. But the language itself is just such an arcane pain to deal with, the author really brought this out: Even just writing and printing few lines of strings out has possibly hours of gotchas in it. Add a little IO and you're looking at days.
It's not a question of a lack of documentation, I just think the language is weird. I truly wanted Rust to be great and I keep looking at it wanting it to be better but it just isn't.
Isn't it funny how in the real world, suddenly the so lauded 'type safety' really just doesn't matter that much in practice. A simpler language overall would have made a much bigger impact than any generics.

I saw the others designs that they had, they were all even worse than this.
Somebody made a mistake by not firing that design firm and hiring somebody else.
I really dont see how this can possibly work in Twitter's favor. Do they not understand that Twitter is comprised pretty much completely of people sarcastically poking and harassing each other?

Yes I think your idea sounds very convenient, I basically just want to type the IPs of my machines in somewhere and the rest should be explained to me on screen. If SSH cant be established, tell me why. If i didnt set up ipxbe properly or at all, tell me why (heck, even tell me how you got that information ala 'we tried establishing an ssh connection with ssh@184.4882.1 -v but it resulted in this error log: '. Any other connection problems, tell me why. Generate all the SSL certs automatically, I dont want to type in any commands myself. I dont care if it's a test SSL setup but frankly I dont understand why these tutorials always give me test SSL certs. Just generate something that makes sense for production or tell me what I need and why for production.
If you think that my nodes should have DNS names, go start some internal DNS server for me and set it up in the background for me. I dont get why I should have to do any of that stuff myself.
At the end there should be a screen where all the configs were saved down to in a textual format, so I can have a look at what was done, which processes were started and which ports are now open, what the firewall looks like. For example CoreOS I believe has some cloudconfig stuff and I dont want to figure that file format out myself but I still want to see it after it's been generated.
I like magic but I also like to see what it actually did / is doing.
well please make it so that it's truly easy to install. And I mean REALLY easy. I have tried at least 10 cloud solutions and I havent managed to successfully install any of them. The best one yet was tectonic but their error messages were too non-existent or vague at the end and the emphasis here is on non-existent.
Rust is an overly complicated language that made the exact same deadly mistakes that c++ made: takes too long to compile and is too complex.
Yes I get it, you're working on the compile times. You will never bring them down to under 1 second regardless of amount of libraries used, let's just say this once and for all. I add two crates 'hyper' and 'postgres-rs' in a 500 line(!!!) program and it's STILL a 2.8 second compile time. Imagine if I actually use Rust for real software and have 500k lines of code.
I'm putting my hopes on Jonathan Blow's Jai language.
