The only thing I absolutely hate is the import-as bullshit inspired by Python. I was told this was to assist static analyzers, but when you compare it to destructuring syntax you just get annoyed by the duplication. +1 for pipeline operato

I see 3 things here: 1) Qualified job candidates are scarce? Just... what? The only difference between here and there is when people lie and say they're qualified, the company is willing to pass this lie on to the government to say &

I should have phrased this another way: I believe fraud happens.

I know it's possible for billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate (the percentage) than a secretary. I wish we had raw data showing they paid less in the dollar amount. I believe this happens, I just wish we had a good idea of h

Tomorrowland is the Disney movie I have enjoyed most in my life.

I use this addon, but I wish it showed as an actual tree (not an indented list of buttons). Also, there's some space to the left that can be reclaimed if you're not using tab groups.

I'm going to state a couple of strong opinions and hope it doesn't backfire on me: 1) Teachers should be paid more. 2) Teachers shouldn't be pressured to work so many hours off the clock (after school). 3) Teachers may contin

Are you saying just exploding a URL into its components?

After we establish transparent pricing across the board, we're going to have to deal with the reality that some folks seek care without having any ability to pay for services.

I wish webpages were 'archived' as sqlite databases. :x I wish a lot of metadata were defined as a database schema, and sqlite lends itself so willingly to becoming the archive/header. Does sqlite do internal gunzip compressi

It's been a lot of fun for me to think about how knowledge can be conveyed 'superficially'. Make it cute, make it pretty, make it gamified. I love Wikipedia and I know many others get lost in that article forest too, but I&

Speaking as someone who wasn't alive during the 60s: I thought the objective of a sit-in was to gain service (not obstruct it)? My understanding is that people of color were not served when they were very willing to pay for and make u

I absolutely blame the prosecutors, but I'd want to include the university in this. Aaron's motives (from my outside perspective) were to make information freely available. It's frustrating that the university is happy to p

I am probably very uninformed, but I was hoping we might see the kernel + userland running entirely from a secure enclave. As I understood, this would make cold boot attacks more difficult? I'm sure it's like using a sledgehamme

The only user-hostile behavior I mostly agree with his forced, frequent updates. It would be better if: 1) Microsoft didn't beta-test with actual customers. 2) Microsoft figured out how to update things without restarting so commonly (

I wrote a comment about this a couple days ago on another thread: I wish we had a simple UI we could bring up to expose cookies to other tabs (arbitrarily). I just want a list of cookies with rows marked in green if they're being sent

This is definitely within my skillset but far from user-friendly. I'm just remarking on how simple it is to put a toggle in the settings to show/hide the tab bar and they haven't done this because they're pushing a part

I think Servo is going to be a massive Good Thing (tm) for Mozilla, but they have messed up a few times with UI anti-patterns and sneaking extensions into updates that users didn't opt for. They have seriously breached our trust like

Okay. I ultimately liked this posting. It started out rocky because he exposed he had accomplished so much at a young age (#imverysmart). Sounded like at several times he wanted to spend money he didn't really have. I liked the ref

If it's managing resources itself, how is it not an OS? What is art?

Somewhat related: I do hope userspace network stacks get easier to stand up (with strict testing). It would be nice to move an attack surface like that out of the kernel.

This is definitely a risk. There are valid needs to wanting to resume a connection as it hops between gateways, but I definitely see abuse for this. The identifier doesn’t necessarily tie you to a location or name, but once you can associ

Again, as someone who does not completely grok QUIC I am not dismissing it. I was hoping if some parameters were not exposed work would be put toward making these available through existing interfaces.

setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, ...) setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, ...) ? I'm not dismissing QUIC, but it is in your control to redefine those defaults. Maybe in 2020 we'll be grappling back toward [sane] defaul

I wholeheartedly agree with this endeavor. Traditional packaging is so messy with a unified tree. We have claimed a lot of ground toward immutable systems. I totally love how easy it has become to scale horizontally in hardware and add v

If I remember correctly, folder redirects were being set up by OneDrive attempting to mirror well-known directories like My Documents and My Pictures. Many people lost very important files.

I certainly agree that it's in the best interest of those at the top to make the rest of us believe retirement won't be there, and we must work-work-work to save-save-save. However: 1) I have seen it become commonplace to have sev
