By the way, a follow up : after that, I installed Disconnect in my browser, removed facebook app from my phone, used a dedicated chrome profile for facebook, installed firefox on my mobile and made it my default browser, and installed disco

Facebook is going way too far in many ways. The other day, I had a couple of friends at my place. At some point, we decided to order pizzas. We did so online, at my usual pizzeria. 30 minutes later (not sure of the delay, but it was before

Plasma is probably not the best example to illustrate this problem : should everybody be happy with menus, you would probably still have 3 alternatives in Plasma, because it's all about offering highly configurable experience. Personal

Congratulation, and best wishes :) When things settle down, I would love to read an article from you about what it's like to launch a new programming language by the end of the 2010s. I'm under the impression that adoption is goin

That's one of the reasons I migrated to Go instead of Elixir (plus, I love the idea of suddenly having system programming within reach). But doing so, I haven't explored deeply enough Elixir and Crystal. Would you say they each pr

I came to really dislike embedding interfaces and types, but I know I'm a minority opinion, on this. When I came to go from OO (ruby), and before I learnt to use embeddings, something blew my mind : I could always say where a function

Awesome, didn't know about that. Thanks!

This is by far the best approach, yes :) My point was more to show a way this particular user could have achieved the same result without their problem. Plus, we can't expect users to know all the system tools, this is a good way to is

I can get why such a thing would be scary to a government. But really, there's no reason this should be about Russia. "Government runs closed source software distributed by foreign company" should sound scary whatever governm

Note that the OS doesn't argue :) But actually, it would be cool to have some kind of warning, like a POSIX linter that warns the user something broke the standard, and they can decide to ignore it and never hear about it again. I&#x27

Using aliases in `~/.bashrc` rather than putting scripts or symlinks in $PATH is a good mean to avoid those kind of problems, provided bashrc includes code to quit if ran in non-interactive mode (default at least on ubuntu). Many use a

I wonder if we should encourage print designers to switch to svg (that is, if they don't already... it's not a world I know much). I have in mind all those concerts or various events' png/jpeg files that are dropped on t

This can be automated quite easily : have an other address which transactions contain the last up to date source address for list. Now adblockers just need to look for the last transaction from this address. Note that I'm not saying it

Wanted to mention that as well. This stack exchange is incredible, it's like soundcloud for science fiction. I don't contribute myself, but I'm subscribed to weekly newsletter, I always enjoy it.

I play the GOG version with steam controller, but I'm a bit of an edge case. I play on linux, installed the GOG version through PlayOnLinux (thus playing it through wine), and I made a launcher in steam so that I can use the steam cont

Well, maybe that if it sounds stupid to you, you didn't think about it enough (that's usually the case). Make a address which creates transactions containing the domains blocked. To find the list, check the transactions from this

What article? The readme of the of the github repos? I read it. If you have a point to make, please make it.

Wouldn't put those domains in a blockchain be the proper answer? It could not be "took down", then (if it's a solid one, like btc or eth).

I'm not a VC so I may be totally wrong here, but it seems to me that what they expect to scale is not revenue, but valuation (providing further investors match this valuation). Should Soundcloud revenue raises slowly but they do an IPO

Seems to me like completely changing up the product was the previous direction (trying to squeeze in some kind of spotify-like product), and the article mentions explicitly the new CEO want to get back to the core value of the service. Of c

Were you around before github? It was extremely painful to contribute to any opensource project, back then. Some projects were on sourceforge, others were on self hosted svn near project homepage, others were grouped in community efforts li

If someone access my mailbox, they'll use lost password to access other websites :)

Yeah, that's a hard one. Of course, there are strong arguments for "sensible defaults". But here is how it went : First, I used pwgen to generate temporary passwords for new unix users. I read the man page at that time, proba

by oelmekki 9y ago
Oh, you're right. Thanks for pointing that. Damn, that was an unexpected behavior (although, I can understand how it's helpful, when you want to get a password from a script/program that executes pwgen - but then I guess an o

by oelmekki 9y ago
I could just pass an option to make pwgen generate longer passwords, really, but I find amusing the idea of generating the hash of 160 urandom level generated passwords :) Now that's random! Oh, and also, it looks like a hashed passwor

by oelmekki 9y ago
I really would love we be done with passwords altogether. We're asking non power users to make their password unique, and then make it complicated, and then remember all of them in their head, not on a post-it. Nobody can do that, not
