While I understood lockdown measures, know that this is your privilege talking. You can stay in lockdown because you're middle class living in a wealthy country. In countries like India lockdown can cost far more than what Covid-19 can

It's a false choice. But even if it were true, yes, over lives. People already died fighting for my liberal rights, I'm not willing to trade any of that for some temporary safety. I'm from a Warsaw pact country. Seeing wester

I don't self-host Wordpress, my blog is a static site made with Jekyll and served by Nginx. A static site ages well. That said I self-host other services, like Matomo or FreshRSS (also PHP apps that need a database). The secret is in s

Speak for yourself. Their current API makes third party clients very difficult because they lack features and I hoped they'll announce something like this. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind them touching on the developers r

On macOS I use Mailmate. It's what Thunderbird should have been imo.

IMO that's a pretty good URL. For example if you drop it often in conversations, you can remember it, since it's short enough and has no numbers or awkward characters. I would have preferred lower casing and if you try it with low

Yes, still an assumption. It's like saying evolution selects for intelligence, which would be silly because no, it doesn't, even if it happened for a couple of species. If the virus transmits efficiently, having a high enough R0,

I don't see a conflict. European countries have had consumer protection laws that are different from those in the US and US companies have had to comply. This situation is no different. The EU wants privacy & security guarantees th

Evolutionary pressure selects for survival, however the "less likely to kill" is entirely your assumption. Case in point – the second wave of the Spanish flu was much deadlier than the first wave. And the third wave was less deadl

The scientific method means coming up with hypotheses that get validated via experiments, whose conclusions are reported and undergo peer review. And we generally have a pretty good idea about how strong the evidence is, or about how well a

You're right, except that _the majority_ tends to be one of the bubbles ;-) It's why I worry about the left promoting and abusing cancel/outrage culture. Ironically, if you want to protect minorities, then liberal values need

In dynamic languages like JavaScript or Python it's necessary to continually run your code in order to validate that the API (of the standard library or of dependencies) was used correctly, that the types match, etc. Rerunning your cod

Who would pay for a URL shortening service, especially one that can lose your URLs?

Sure, I mentioned Moldova due to very similar geopolitical situation, culture and ethnicity. They even speak the same language.

The old elite fighting back was inevitable. I am optimistic however. These things happen in a two steps forward, one step back fashion. And unfortunately for the corrupt in this country the geenie is already out of the bottle. You'll s

Liviu Dragnea (from Romania) serving time in prison is a good example of us having a functional justice system. While the arrangement has been very beneficial for us, let's not forget that the EU does need a market to sell inferior pro

Hi, I'm a Romanian. It may not be EU's funds that fuel our growth (although they help), however not sure if you're aware but the growth you're talking of happened after we entered EU, not before. Before EU we were at the

My personal domain is currently paid for 9 years in advance. Namecheap also notifies me if automatic renewal did not work due to credit card issues via my personal email address. I've also set real-time health checks on my domain to ru

Screw that, I just close the page. If a publication disrespects their readers like that, then the content is trash anyway.

Not sure who the average consumer is, but all teenagers and many adults want games to work, Intel's integrated graphics don't cut it especially with screen resolutions going up and many people find that out after the purchase.

Edge synchronization doesn't do end to end encryption for your browsing history or bookmarks (for this reason alone you're actually better off with Chrome). Windows 10 also has a low entropy advertising ID, that via Edge is passed

Crawling the web is expensive, barrier to entry is very high. Many alternative search engines claim to have built their own crawler, however their coverage is small and they have to fallback to Bing or Google. You can actually check this bt

I'm super skeptical of DuckDuckGo, but most of that is circumstantial and childish. Apparently you're abusing privacy if you're using AWS from "privacy-abuser Amazon", or Outlook for your email, or selling T-shirts
