Off-topic question: has anyone used M-Disk BD disks to make long-term backups? I got recently interested in it after reading that US Navy tested it in Arizona and found it to be the only medium without read errors after the tests. But that

I think this is where I think having a scan of a passport and requiring a letter certified by a public notary would be a better approach.

That sounds a bit strange, I would count any business with more than employees to be "medium" and 1000 to be large. Think of coffee shops: 1500 people allows you to have a network across multiple cities. But w.r.t. the amounts of

I think it is (sort of) and the best signal may be not a legal analysis alone but the actual shift in the enterprise-backed communities. Ever since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_Group,_Inc._v._Internation... . Eclip

Have you ever participated on an Apache or Eclipse project? Both have a rather robust IP due diligence. Our project scans all (+transitive) Maven deps via https://clearlydefined.io on every release.

Worth noting that Restic is suitable for Windows. Not sure if Bupstash was tested on macOS. Borg also has FreeBSD support and experimental support for Windows via WSL2 and Cygwin.

I think filing issues and PRs and commenting on them is open to anyone. Assigning issues, labelling them etc. is a member privilege.

You are right, Arch has a poor product experience. On the other hand, I do not view those systems as products when it comes to professional use. A non-techie might see a Mac as a fancy laptop but for me it's a tool. Just like an HSS

Did MSFT start giving commit/moderation rights to outsiders on their repos? I assumed only MSFT org members can add tags to issues etc.

Well, you certainly need "tips and tricks" to make Arch Linux fully usable. Every powerful tool needs to be adjusted to its use (Github is full of dotfiles and macOS bootstrap repos). Doing so is a sign of professionalism (craftsm

Well, an "average" HN user may use something like a load testing tool such as https://github.com/loadimpact/k6 or at least rent a few VMs with 10Gbps links for a few hours and use wrk/ab so I would not b

I am a macOS user myself (daily driver since circa 2016, Arch/Ubuntu 2013-2016 and Win 7 before that) and I can tell you that the honeymoon is surely over. On top of that, I have my 2 old laptops running as Win10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS h

My manager (who uses Windows as a daily driver) overheard me recommending a colleague to install Amphetamine and gave me a very puzzled look. Another time I had to explain secops people why do I have an executable called "riot"

I think "shall not arrange for the delivery of an order" in § 22599 pretty much bans taking orders. But yes, it does not ban setting up fake websites, unfortunately. So a food delivery service can still put up a fake website only

I think it would have been much better to outlaw misrepresentation and advertising without prior agreement (ie the pizza place that did not agree to partnership should only pop up in the search results if the user searches for it) and there

They support Linux, Windows, and macOS. Surely that cannot be covered just with containers. On Linux, they allow workflows with a large number of different containers involved and I don't think GH would be happy to debug all Docker-ins

Do you have a VPN on the router level? Or a PiHole banning Apple servers? Or have you used Linux to try to log into the new Apple ID? Or disabled location services not only for apps but also for system services? I think Apple uses all of th

Right, but then you are not just a developer but also a product designer/manager (in some capacity). 3 (30) developers would happily develop 3 native apps if a company was to pay them.

True, but again this is the case where the primary function of an editor is to edit, so people naturally get upset when editing is slow. But if only Slack worked as nearly as good as VSCode does, I think we wouldn't be trashing Electro

Why? Why do we have to make apps run fast? I run a self-hosted install of ArchiveBox and it takes > 10s to archive a webpage. If I am saving the page to retrieve it in a few years, I can surely wait 10-20s. One can say that an optimised

Well, I think that's the key observation: when you no longer chase "breaking" news, you have to provide more analysis. When "X does Y", you don't usually need to learn about it within 60 minutes. You usually ne

What you are talking about are cryptolockers and they are a subset of ransomware. Not all ransomware are cryptolockers. In this case, ransomware exfilled the data without a need for cryptolockers. They are still asking for a ransom.

Most likely they figured out that they are about to violate GDPR and altered the code to also show the notice to those who bought the extended warranty. I cannot imagine execs spending so much money on a project to shame both those who boug
