Yeah, I think the FSF/EFF suggestion is for people to use TOR as much as possible. But that’s completely impractical day to day from my POV. I recollect a case a few years ago, where they tracked a guy down on a campus through traffic

If you're disorganized, you'll search in random places until you find it. Joke applies. But if you are organized, you'll start with the most likely place and progress to increasingly less likely places. When you find it, th

Well, I've been running my own mail servers for years, and I can tell you that getting Google and MS to handle your mail fairly is very challenging. There is more involved than what you mention, and many posts here on HN have discusse

The MIT Scheme interpreter executes immediately, like Python. Maybe people these days can't handle anything beyond a browser?

That's not quite accurate. Sussman says that the more fundamental computer science that he and Abelson had taught up to 1997 or so had become obsolete, because the transistors had disappeared into massive chips and the code had disapp

Take "fulfilled by Amazon". Most of the time they ship by USS brown truck and the package arrives at my door. But, sometimes they use SurePost. My point is that I don't know which ahead of time. It's unpredictable. Or

Yeah, and my post office BOX is not in the same town as my residence. So, UPS transfers to USPS, which has no way of notifying me. And, it only happens sometimes - it’s unpredictable. Very annoying, especially since the UPS truck goes past

The video was cringingly defensive. His original tweet said, “The following is an ever-evolving list of books I’m hoping to read (or in many cases re-read) in 2023.” “In many cases” As I said, I’m surprised he hadn’t read all of them long

I guess my feeling is that I'm surprised he hadn't read all those books long ago.
