Bad actors can just strip the plus part of the address

It will impact how people vote this November though

This is exactly why I built https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wire-rss-news-reader/id1438331...

I prefer AdGuard home as well

It is the only vacation most teachers get, so of course they fight against shortening it

Perhaps inefficiency is not desirable, but it should be deliberative. These rash, uninformed actions will have consequences.

Very clever. I have Alertmanager in a second region so it can check on my first Alertmanager, but this is much nicer.

I’m not a lawyer, but why would they remove uses of WordPress from their website right before suing Automattic if their position is that they weren’t violating the trademark?

According to the timeline they first sent it in May. The day before the talk was presumably just the latest attempt to negotiate.

There are some things I host this way as well. On the other hand, I find that having autoscaling and automated deploys makes a big difference in speed I can iterate on some side projects.

I've never heard of anywhere that cutting in line is illegal nor seen people get punished for cutting in line.

> Take, for example, the curious case of the lack of post cloning

The percentage of users that need this functionality is exceptionally low. If WordPress bundled every feature that some percentage of users could ever need, we'd have the opposite problem. The GUI would be an endless mishmash of features that most people don't need.

> There's a 99% chance that site is running WordPress and has dozens of plugins and got hacked at some point

I don't know about these statistics, but I take your point. Although I'm not so sure this is as big a problem in recent years. The WordPress team has made big improvements in improving the quality of the WordPress plugin repository.

The reality is that WordPress is a big target. Even if they included all the features from the top 1000 plugins (which would cause an uproar), there would still be a huge market for plugins and some of those plugins would have security vulnerabilities.

What makes them think it's a nation state?

He is certainly well connected, but what evidence do we have that he’s intelligent?

Wire RSS Reader https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wire-rss-reader/id1438331258

An RSS reader that caches webpages locally, so you can read the article in a webview with native-like performance instead of just that text that comes through in the RSS feed.

> Often the previous owners are corporations or schools who buy and sell the machines in bulk and aren't interested in helping recyclers or refurbishers unlock them.

What kind of corporations or schools hand over old computers in bill without wiping them first?

Be honest with the people who report to you about your feelings. You don't have to go out of your way to stir up trouble, but if people come to you with concerns that you share, it can be very helpful to know that you're not alone and your manager is on your side.

Most of the code I work on actually does conform to the formatting and linting settings. Once in a while I'll work on something that doesn't and if I've already written some code, I find it's easier to stage part of the changes like this. Obviously do what works for you.

Luckily the industry is highly unionized, so the losses likely aren’t coming out of the pockets of the crew.

It’s a phrase used to describe free software.

> “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

I’ve been working from home for 8 years and I’ve had to relearn how to do it during this pandemic as well.

My normal trick is to walk to a local coffee shop in the morning. After a few hours I’ll go to a coworking space or similar. Same thing in the afternoon.

For me, part of that is just having a routine. So instead of working at the coffee shop, I’ve been taking a walk in the morning to get a coffee to go and just walking back home.

I think any activity that involves getting out of your house — even just a walk around the block — can be a good reset before or after work.

We wouldn’t need all the infrastructure to ensure only qualified people get welfare. I’ve heard this would make UBI cheaper than what we do now, considering that it would be essentially taxed away from rich people as you say.

With those terms, they can buy a bug, report it to Apple, collect the $1m, and be off the hook to pay out the remaining payments. It seems to me this makes it much riskier to go to the black market than people here realize.

Apple will fix this for free

The same way anyone gets good at anything: practice. Knowledge of the system + experience in high pressure situations and you get pretty good at solving those problems over time.

Ah, thanks! It’s fixed now. https://hub.docker.com/r/joshbetz/wordpress

Do practice interviews at companies you don't really want to work for. It takes the pressure off and makes the real interviews easier.
