Absolutely agreed. I am by no means defending Apple’s entire position here — just the pretty mundane operation of logging IP addresses associated with HTTP requests.

I experienced the issue with Mojave while this was happening. So not just Catalina.

Haha ok ok. Awk as a “big” dependency is hyperbole (: I really am interested in what it would take to pull this off with bash. I may try it myself...

by cdubzzz 6y ago
So, not a 20 line bash script and at least two big dependencies. Sounds a lot like what you were poking fun at.

by cdubzzz 6y ago
I asked because none of the posted permutations offer the same feature set. Specifically, the nice thing about this utility (and reason for the dependencies) is interactive adding and selecting of identities. If this can replicated in bash,

I suspect it was written in JS because that was the author’s language of choice. There are lots of ways to manage git identities and this seems like a decent utility for web devs who already have node installed and don’t care to manually ed

Let’s see the 20 lines of bash that replicate all the features of this utility. Should fit in an HN comment nicely.

In Peace Corps we used a filter bucket and added bleach. Took very little bleach, though I don't recall how often we had to change the filter. It was essentially this: https://www.outbackwater.com/outback-5-gallon-gravi

This seems like an odd argument. One can be angry about... well anything. Not just things owed or not owed. GP is venting some anger here at a relevant moment and the perspective is obviously valuable.

Varnish Configuration Language. Fast.ly’s UI gives direct access to the full (I think?) configuration file to edit in plain text (in addition to its UI tools for doing so).

Interesting reference re: the settings URL: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1598562#c13 Reasoning there seems good enough but I’m not sold on it being absolutely required.

Settings one is interesting, it does appear that you cannot block it[0] and that is sad. The other two appear to be safe browsing and automatic update related. Those two services can be disabled form the regular settings UI, I think? Have y

According to DDG's Privacy page[0] -- "We also save searches, but again, not in a personally identifiable way, as we do not store IP addresses or unique User agent strings. We use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve thi

Yeah, I think that is a fair assessment. What I meant by "edge case" though was not necessarily the search term itself. It was selecting "Norway" localization for one search, and then deselecting for another. Of course I

Interesting example. And I can replicate it pretty much exactly as you describe. Two things comes to mind — 1. Would you consider this an “edge case”? Searching for things you want to buy in one language, but researching programming topics

If you have a Google account, I’d assume your address is already known. The form only asks for clarifying details and an email address.

You are alive right now so it’s probably not a bad thing for you. An inconvenience maybe. I don’t think that’s the point, though.

Are you suggesting that no one should investigate how this became the government’s problem in the first place? That is absurd.

Absolutely. This could be another Million Dollar Homepage idea.

Wow, 1,000 pieces for that is intense. The Mars one we got was tough for similar reasons, but didn't take too long since it is so much smaller.

Somewhat related — we recently purchased and have enjoyed a couple of circular puzzles from a small puzzle maker in the PNW — Bewilderness Puzzles[0]. I highly recommend the Mars puzzle in particular[1]. They also _smell_ wonderful. Like fr

Interesting. Just downloaded the app and the first thing it asks for is my number (which makes sense, I suppose). Without digging too deep -- is there cost associated here?
