Your information isn't particularly valuable outside of financial data, and most of the ones you're likely to go to store your financial data centralize on a few generally-very-well-behaved providers. And credit card fraud is th

Blameless retrospectives only make sense when everyone is actually incentivized towards quality of output. That is historically true of neither (American) police organizations nor the vendors who sell to them.

I've never heard of this practice and would throw the book at anyone who implemented it in a shop I worked at. You keep both your keys, one securely and one at-the-ready.

I don't know many (any?) people who are greenfielding just-JavaScript, though. If you're using JavaScript in anger, you should probably be using TypeScript, and now you've got a build step regardless. Which is not a bad thing

I have participated in open-source communities for over a decade now. It is likely--not guaranteed, but pretty likely--that I have written more open-source code, both for money and not, than you have. And I am befuddled how you are so tower

Let's put it as simply as possible, because there's the genuine possibility that you don't understand, rather than are just being an acrimonious troll. You wouldn't be Linux-on-the-desktopping as hard as you are if you d

Requiring a user to agree to what an application wants to do isn't a requirement to prove innocence. It's a requirement to obtain consent that is verifiable by the operating system in which the user has placed trust . Why is the

I did "solve the problem". I use Slack and Discord to talk to the cohorts who used to be on IRC. Your behavior in this thread is really strange. Discord's a fine tool. So is Slack. I have nothing to fix, and my posts in this

I am well aware it isn't "an app". I was using IRC in about 1997 and stopped in about 2017 because other options that were better suited to my needs, and had the people I wanted to talk to, arose. The second part of your resp

That sure is a simple solution! As a side effect, it filters out almost all of the people I actually want to talk to in my day-to-day life. The inability for partisans of particular technologies to understand that affordances matter more

Discord does support other search features. It would be nice to have a wildcard search, for sure--but, in my experience, even on busy and large servers I very rarely can't narrow something down to what I was looking for with `from` a

You're right, this is a solved problem. On the other hand, mobile access on IRC not being unpleasant isn't and won't be, though, so the search for something better for users will continue. (To their credit, IRCCloud tries.

Ground truth, inviolate: the OS owns the trust relationship with the user. The OS may allow the extension of that trust relationship (MDM, custom TLS roots, etc.) but that's informing the OS's own authorization, it's not supp
