OK, that's 2% of the cows' food intake taken care of. How are you going to supply the other 98% to them, if you have them on a barge, surrounded by water?

Thanks, that's much better than my approach. This is exactly the extension I needed, as it makes cookie management more straightforward and transparent to me. I switched yesterday and couldn't be happier. :)

If their values do not align with the society they live in, then they are not offering something the society wants. I am not saying this as a judgment, but as an objective fact. If the society is racist, that's a different matter altog

Yes, sometimes it's like that (being rejected based on race, religion, etc.), and it's sad. But most of these "excluded young men prone to radicalization" are really being rejected because they never bothered to actually

Or you can just freely allow all cookies from any website that wants to set them (sites will be happy and working), but only for current browser session. You have to remember to restart the browser every now and then, though. Then use white

Not to mention that GTK3 is so over-optimized that it skips some important calculations and sometimes ends up with certain widgets positioned incorrectly. It's a mess.

Of course. And then, when a new world order is established, and there is a new crop of "alpha" people on the top, you have a new crop of outcasts. And the cycle continues. Isn't it better to make it easier for current crop of

The world at large doesn't care what you need, only what you can offer. Realizing this (and acting on it) would help vast majority of these "socially excluded young men" to be included instead. There is an excellent article d

Well, I actually can see where you're going with this, since my HN account is completely disconnected from almost anything else I do online, or even offline. Apart from the privacy benefits, however, I feel that it is a net negative, b

Hasn't that always been the case throughout the history, though? Everyone always knew everything about everyone else in the village, or neighboring villages. Only the select few knew and cared enough to keep their affairs hidden. Excep

Sure, but that only works if you compartmentalize from the very beginning, which regular people never do.

That gives whole new perspective on Twitter. :)

Or perhaps just an experienced sysadmin who has different opinions and preferences than you do. There is never a single TheRightWayToDoThings(tm), different people have different needs, priorities and/or resources available.

Indeed. Even despite all the shiny web console controls, someone has to know what all the items on the invoice from the cloud provider do, and how they work together.

Cost saving, plus the "suck it up, it runs so it's good enough" user peer pressure to accept the lowest common denominator.

I like it, it is direct and straight-forward. Try not understanding such titles as commands and get outraged, but instead as advice or suggestions that you are free to take or leave.

SuSE solves this in their SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) with a new sysctl tunable, which soft-limits the size of the page cache. https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-for-sap-12/book_s4s/... It is qui

Listening to music is passive (yes, even if you happen to be singing along, as you're just parroting memorized lyrics), whereas during a phone call, you have to focus on what the other party is saying, and formulate sentences to answer

Ah, I seem to have misread GGP. My apologies.

Oh, so you're that weirdo who always makes everyone around him in the vehicle listen to his loud phone conversations, making it next to impossible to focus on a book, or whatever else they were trying to do. :)

Thanks for this, it makes for an interesting read, especially for someone who only dips his toe in python programming lightly once in a while.

Most people can get by with nothing more complex than "put all messages from this sender to folder X", or a few similar options. Heck, even MS Outlook makes this easy. If Google makes this difficult, that's on them.

Email overload already has a fix - filtering rules and email folders have been a thing for decades, and most popular email clients have offered convenient ways to quickly create the rules for nearly as long. The problem is people not learn

With it being a very popular python implementation, one wonders why such optimizations haven't been implemented yet. 60% sounds huge.
