It’s great that people are working to treat or cure this terrible disease. However in the meanwhile, there is unbelievable damage and burden on family members that the sick person least of all wants, as articulated by Jo when he still had h

This is exactly what Jo from the article wanted. It turns out that in practice it is quite hard to actually get your loved ones to follow through with clandestinely offing you. And the state doesn’t offer a mechanism for any kind of advance

Same thing but in his own handwriting: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd10xx/EWD1036.PDF I know it’s silly, but it just made him seem more human to me.

So then what happens in the scenario I laid out? You just fumble around every time Charlie responds to Bob and Alice gets confused? That’s reasonable for you? I mean it’s ok if you want to just say what they’re doing sucks. But I’d find you

I mean... it could be juicing metrics as you say. I certainly have no love for these companies. But more likely its to minimize support, confusion, and a feeling of brokenness. Alice, Bob, and Charlie are in a group. Alice blocks Bob. Bob s

Yes, it’s good to periodically delete your old content, but calling it “useless” is a stretch. Consider the context in which Signal came of age - post Snowden mass surveillance. Signal has always prioritized fighting mass surveillance. Gett

Isn’t “_perfect_” forward secrecy a misnomer in this context? One of the big innovations of the signal protocol, (called axolotl at the time) was that perfect forward secrecy, requires a handshake between participants before _each_ message,

The buried lead is that RCS’s encryption will be based on Signal protocol. That seems huge! I wonder if iMessage will feel compelled to up their game. They were early to the e2e game, for which they have my respect (they had their issues, I

Is Norway full of... Nordic skiers? Indeed! In seriousness, Nordic (cross country) skiing is an activity enjoyable well into old age. Having done a couple non-competitive “races”, I’m always amazed at the range of ages. ...Adorable old time

Funny enough, I was imagining patterns used in “visual” programming languages might be helpful for people who use screen readers. That is - make valid syntax and its composition first class UX entities, rather than just a freeform stream of

I’m sighted - I’ve pretty much only used screen readers when testing accessibility feature for software I’ve built. There was a bit of a learning curve, but actually the interface isn’t bad if the software is built for it. When it’s not tho

My typical American diet induced whiplash when the first ingredient in your “oatmeal breakfast” was a pound of chicken thighs. This isn’t a complaint at all - it just made me very aware of my own dietary assumptions. It sounds very good.

Wow - sounds like you have more sensitive than average color perception. Do you think you might be a tetrachromat?

Well for one, last time I checked GH doesn’t allow this in their UI. And on balance, I love open source! It’s just one of those unfortunate things where it’s hard and slow to be considerate while being easy and cheap to be inconsiderate.

Merging a PR requires effort from the maintainer. I frequently perceive a sense of entitlement from drive by PR contributors, as if they are giving a gift to the maintainer, when in reality, it often takes more time for the maintainer to te

And would it be equally “pro free speech” if the US went down the road of preventing we citizens from accessing propaganda websites affiliated with the CCP? And ban “bad” propaganda movies and media from the CCP? And ban direct conversation

That added context makes it sad, but does not make it illegal, which is what you are responding to.

I really enjoyed that article, thanks for sharing! A clarification: from what I can tell reading the article, hunting octopus was not illegal, but there were restrictions against big commercial style net and pot fishing of octopus. I liked

They don’t have a way of knowing! Exactly! This is why we shouldn’t be employing people whose job it is to snatch people they don’t know anything about, who just assume you’re a threat until YOU PROVE that you’re innocent.

Where in the world did you hear that Elijah McClain was having a drug overdose before the police showed up?! No one has said that. You are fabricating.
