Then use your critical thinking. I'll repeat the question: > Why would they lie? What gives you reason to think they (not the DNC!) be that colossally stupid?

Snowden did no hacking.

What's silly is saying oh, since I read some stuff online about how crappy the DNC security is, I should probably chalk it up to some unknown actor for some vauge hand-wavy reasons instead of taking the statements of the the Director o

Uh, no. Data loss for your end-users as a default behavior is unforgivable. The impetus is on people who think it's OK to irretrievably lose access to their freaking data when their phone battery explodes to set that up. For myself,

Our justice system is not infallible, the OP never claimed that. And so, that's why we have pardons. It's pretty straightforward, if you don't misrepresent his argument. > Treason is the systemic and illegal invasion of th

That would be their manager's problem. Go home at end-of-business. If they fire people for, um, working during working hours , they'll be going under from the churn in short order anyway. It's not like there's an oversu

Okay, granted, but that's not exactly what I'd call egregious. They're, um, capable of causing injury, and the kind of thing I would probably want to ensure was only sent to recipients who had a i-know-what-i'm-doing for

Can you give me any pointers on where I can find out more about this? (Also curious about the banned product lines if anyone can summarize/link to what's going on there.)

Now you've forced me to make at at least two more decisions: to open up addons.mozilla to find a cookie-management extension, and to open up addons.mozilla to find a javascript-permissions-management extension. At each of these interac

No, because the WHOIS details on the domain can change without ownership actually having changed, in the not-uncommon case where a domain starts out registered by a founder or early employee and is later transferred to the company proper. G

Yes, but it would hardly be unexpected, and though this gets into iffy and boring questions around definitions, I don't think it's a side-effect either.

When is the story about Google storing the emails of all Gmail users coming out? I've heard rumors they don't even just collect the metadata - they store the entire email ! Indefinitely. Even if the sender wasn't using gma

This is completely fucking ridiculous. Of course Google's privacy policy says they can store that information. That's why I can go to google.com/voice and get a comprehensive, time-ordered, millisecond-precision (if you pok

The reality is that a contributor license agreement is of near-zero help to an open-source project; it's only present here because Nike's lawyers required it. But the surface area of 'contributions that infringe on patents he

Do people not already do this? I don't really make an effort to use a different keypair for every service, but I ran into the the max-attempts thing very soon after I started using ssh-agent, and so I do have to keep my .ssh/confi

The amount of time you can spend preparing the training data is unbounded. The number of times you can do the training with data that ends up not actually looking like what you see in-the-wild a week later is unbounded. When all is said a

It's not necessary, it's a waste of development time and easily the biggest big-picture collective failure of our software engineering profession of the last decade. It easily beats out anything from the $foo.js world and the ongo

I hear, from people that would know, that it has a lot of bugs that were fixed internally but never made it into an open-source release.

Because with USING, you're precluded from using the full table.column identifier in your JOIN condition. Without that, a future ALTER TABLE that adds another "bar" column to an existing table in the FROM-list will cause a pre

by ak4g 10y ago
Much like SELECT * or JOIN foo USING(bar), it's the kind of thing that greatly speeds up interactive queries, but shouldn't ever end up in source control.

I did make the Python meetup and several since; it's not like the waitlist was thousands long. It was just longer than what I gauged as the no-show rate. The Python meetup was striking to me because it was closer to the scale of a PyCo

I lived in NYC and frequented it's tech scene for about a year, ending mid-2013. Unless it's more-or-less quintupled in the last three years, there's no comparison. The first python meetup I went to in SF (back in 2013) had 3

What's the reference point here? To my mind a lot of the advantages in Postgres are around it's mature tooling for backups and replication; autovacuum is more than sufficient for fairly complex workloads when it comes to data file

by ak4g 11y ago
As a project, I don't think PostgreSQL wants (or should want) anybody running a DB from the source tarball that's (eventually) stamped as 9.6 - it's existence is a mere artifact of the actual packaging work that goes on durin
