Yeah, I'm not sure they'll care. Bank of America did exactly this. :\ Maybe Citi will feel differently but I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

I dunno, maybe it's better if no one does. I expect they'd just remove the feature instead of rewriting it.

Wondering how to avoid bifurcation of the discussion. If we can close/delete/merge one of these somehow that'd be nice (feel free to get rid of the one I posted, I don't care), but maybe it won't be necessary? I hav

Yeah, invading people's privacy always makes things easier for everyone else, doesn't it? Doesn't mean people who care about it don't want or deserve quality...

You know software with good UX used to exist before telemetry became a thing?
731.
by mehrdadn 6y ago
Yeah, like their privacy? Since when did getting a good product that respects your privacy become an oxymoron?

If you care about this, my suggestion is to lend a hand to https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium and help them find a way to make the transition between Chrome and Chromium more seamless.

What? If most "advanced" users turn off telemetry then they want a terrible product?

Yeah, though one issue with that is that expanding or shrinking it is so much more painful.

Fun fact: you can do that for Windows too. It also works fine... assuming you can even boot it. :-) You need to make sure Windows is booting from something it sees as disk rather than a partition (i.e. include an MBR or something before

I remember loopback mounting always gave errors on shutdown when the file system was being unmounted. It seemed to me that it would unmount before caches were flushed, resulting in a need for fsck later (and possibly resulting in corruption

Ahh! Now I see I misread your comment, I see what you were trying to say now.

> A and not A are not necessarily contradictions Nobody was saying p OR !p is necessarily true. The argument was about p AND !p. It really seems to me like you're confusing AND and OR... The intuitionist will accept that "A an

Are you sure you're not confusing AND and OR? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionistic_logic#Relation_... Literally copying from Wikipedia: The system of classical logic is obtained by adding any one of the f

Okay but I still don't see how the law of the excluded middle says that "a and not a" is always valid.

I'm confused. Or maybe you're confusing AND with OR? How can "A and not A" ever be true, let alone tautologically so? Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_noncontradiction

Does anyone have thoughts on whether test suites suffer from Goodhart's law? Sometimes I feel like they only work well if people assume they don't exist and commit accordingly.

Does it support UDP?

Ah I see, thank you, that makes sense. Sadly it seems this model doesn't publish an endurance specification at all, so it's hard to tell how close I am to its end of life. Interestingly mine actually already has some errors: A

Ah I see. It's a PM981, from late 2017. Interestingly, the GSmartControl GUI says it doesn't support SMART. But now that I try smartctl -a, I see a bit of information, though not much. The only things regarding failures seem to be

by mehrdadn 6y ago
This is great info, thank you! Regarding SMART indicators, do you know if they're generally reliable? I seem to recall there have been drives (at least HDD, not sure about SSD) that didn't report correct numbers. In fact, I just c

A bit off-topic, but speaking of SSDs, how do you compare them when shopping around? I see different brands and models advertising similar features at different price points, and I know enough to look at the throughput, IOPS, but beyond tha
