Kind of related, but a little off-topic: I think tying name checking to encrypting traffic was a mistake. They are two different use cases, and shouldn't have been so tightly coupled. Sometimes I care only about my traffic being encryp

You mean create a root CA, install it as a trusted CA on _every single_ client that will interact with the client, manage revocations (whole thing in itself), and handle all the other management that goes along with being an authority (loca

DJing is not a form of music creation, it's a form of music playing. If you mean free-form mixing and music creation based on samples and synth some DJs do on stage, then yes that's music creation, and it involves skill.

So don't play with those ones? This is why these types of initiatives do far more harm than good. They hide problems rather than address them.

They're not trying to blame YouTube, they are squarely pointing out the absolute truth that YouTube is to blame. It's YouTube's choice to do whatever they like with their own product, but the reason what they've chosen t

There are a couple of things here making it worth me checking it out again, thanks :) But yes you're right, most of these are in the Terminal+Tmux combo already.

Genuine question: What is so difficult about healthcare in the USA? European countries solutions range from free to government subsidised (for those who can't afford it). The free ones vary in quality, but systems where you pay unless

I don't mind America-only stuff — I think countries should have _more_ country specific stuff! — but it's rather frustrating when you only find out half way through the process of signing up / filling out a form. The presumpt

Never understood why people use iTerm. I know back in the day it was because of the lack of tabs in Terminal.app, but tabs were added long ago and tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway. Genuinely curious beca

There are more than a few terrible designs from Apple, but the Magic Mouse borders on the hilarious. It is the epitome of bad design at Apple; style over substance at the cost of usability and practicality. Not only is it uncomfortable to u

Have you tried it in the last year? It’s far ahead of anything else on offer, including products that do just CI. It’s like they’ve been laying low and learning from everyone else’s mistakes, and then boom.

Unfortunately, I think that's right. I've always thought this policy outrageous, but in this context I think it could make sense the other way around; don't double-tax income, but wealth.

Am I right in thinking that this has no bearing on America due to their double-tax policy? i.e. You can leave, but we still want our taxes.
